Monday marked the 103rd anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.
As the world’s largest ruling Marxist party, the CPC has led China’s social development with a spirit of self-revolution that distinguishes it from other political parties. The reason the CPC can correct its past mistakes and grow is because it doesn’t shy away from accepting its mistakes. In the face of problems, it actively exercises self-criticism and launches self-revolution.
When socialism with Chinese characteristics entered a new era, the CPC Central Committee integrated comprehensive and strict Party governance into its strategic plan, promoted the improvement of Party conduct, integrity, and anti-corruption with unprecedented courage and determination. A series of self-revolutionary measures have not only made the Party stronger and more powerful, but also enhanced its ability to maintain ties with the people and won it their heartfelt support. This has enhanced the Party’s solidarity and unity, and helped it gain the initiative, leading the people to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
In its theoretical thinking and practical exploration of comprehensively and strictly governing the Party in the new era, the central leadership of the Party has creatively proposed a series of new concepts, new thoughts and new strategies, forming important thoughts on the Party’s self-revolution, which systematically answer major questions such as why the Party should and how it can carry out self-revolution. This means that the CPC has reached a new height in its understanding of its self-construction and governance laws, and will open up a new realm of self-revolution.
Promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in an all-round way through Chinese-style modernization has a bright future, but it is by no means an easy task. How can the CPC maintain its strong governing ability and leadership; identify and solve its own problems in a timely manner, and how can one ensure that the Party always stands at the forefront of the times and leads the Chinese ship to sail far through wind and waves? All of these require the Party to eliminate its shortcomings through self-purification, improve its overall image through self-improvement, cultivate its creativity and vitality through self-innovation, and enhance its ability to take on responsibilities through self-progress.
