Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 15 — The 18th issue of Seeking Truth magazine, to be published on September 16. will feature an important article by Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the People's Republic of China, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, titled “Upholding and Strengthening the Party's Comprehensive Leadership Without Wavering.”
The article emphasizes that the leadership of the Communist Party of China is the most fundamental characteristic of China's national conditions. The history of the Chinese nation over the past 180-plus years since modern times, the 100-year history since the founding of the Communist Party of China, and the more than 70-year history since the founding of the People's Republic of China have all fully demonstrated that without the Communist Party of China, there would be no New China and no great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. History and the people have chosen the Communist Party of China. The leadership of the Communist Party of China is the most essential characteristic of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the greatest strength of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics. It is the foundation and lifeline of the Party and the country, and it is where the interests and destiny of all ethnic groups in China lie. The bedrock of our governance lies in the leadership of the Communist Party of China and our socialist system. On this point, we must be resolute and unequivocal.
The article points out that the Communist Party of China is the ruling party and the core leadership of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. It occupies a position of overseeing the overall situation and coordinating all parties. In all fields—party, government, military, civilian, and academic; in all regions—east, west, north, and south—the Party leads everything and is the highest political leadership force. Upholding the CPC as the strong core of leadership is crucial to the destiny of the Chinese nation. Maintaining and strengthening the Party's overall leadership concerns the future of the Party and the country. All our endeavors are built upon this foundation and rooted in this most essential characteristic and greatest strength. Why has China maintained long-term stability without chaos? The fundamental reason is that we have always upheld the leadership of the Communist Party. The Party's leadership is the “anchor of stability” for the continuous development of the Party and the country.
The article emphasizes that the Party's leadership system is China's fundamental leadership system. The Party's leadership is the fundamental guarantee for all the work of the Party and the state, and the cornerstone of China's political stability, economic development, ethnic unity, and social stability. There can be absolutely no wavering on this point.
The article points out that the requirement to strengthen the Party's leadership over all work is not hollow or abstract; it must be implemented and reflected in all aspects and at every stage. Party leadership must be comprehensive, systematic, and holistic, extending to all areas including economic development, political development, cultural development, social development, ecological civilization development, national defense and military affairs, national reunification, foreign affairs, and Party building. Any deficiency or weakening in any field, aspect, or link will undermine the Party's strength and harm the cause of the Party and the country.
The article emphasizes that the leadership of the Communist Party of China is about supporting and ensuring that the people exercise their sovereignty. The most crucial aspect of the Party leading the people in governing the country is to properly handle various complex political relationships and consistently maintain the correct political direction for the development of the Party and the state. On the new journey, we must uphold the Party's overall leadership, continuously improve its leadership, strengthen the “Four Consciousnesses,” firm up the “Four Confidences,” and ensure the “Two Upholds.” We must keep in mind the “great matters of the state,” continuously enhance the Party's ability to govern scientifically, democratically, and according to law, and fully leverage the Party's core leadership role in overseeing the overall situation and coordinating all parties!
