1, facing new situations and tasks.
The world today is in a period of great development, great change and great adjustment. World multipolarization and economic globalization are developing in depth, scientific and technological progress is changing with each passing day, the international financial crisis has a far-reaching impact, the world economic structure has undergone new changes, the international power comparison has shown a new trend, global ideological and cultural exchanges and confrontation have shown new features, unstable and uncertain factors have increased, moralism, threat theory and crisis theory have emerged one after another, and containment and anti-containment, infiltration and reverse osmosis, differentiation and anti-differentiation have never stopped.
Today's national conditions are characterized by profound changes in economic system, social structure, interest pattern and ideas. We are facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges. China is in an important period of strategic opportunities for further development, and it is also in a period of prominent contradictions. In its development, it presents a series of new stage characteristics and a series of new situations and new problems.
Today's party situation is that our party has gone through a glorious course of 88 spring and autumn periods since its establishment, and has been growing and growing. From the initial 53 people, it has developed into a big party with more than 75 million party member (we have more than180,000 in Xiangtan). After the reform and opening up, nearly 30 million people joined the Party, including intellectuals, young party member and party member from all walks of life. With the increasing number of party member, new changes have taken place in party member's team structure, organizational setup and party member's ideas. The profound changes in the world, national conditions, party conditions and people's feelings have put forward new requirements for party building. How to promote the new great project of party building and the new great cause of building a well-off society in an all-round way with the new great project of party building is a more arduous and urgent task than in the past.
2. In a new historical position.
In the past, we usually talked about "two changes", that is, from the party that led the people to fight for state power to the party that led the people to master state power and be in power for a long time; The party that led the country's construction under the conditions of external blockade and planned economy has changed into a party that led the country's construction under the conditions of opening to the outside world and developing the socialist market economy. This "Decision" has made a new exposition and new expansion on the historical position of the Party, extending to "three transformations", that is, a historical transformation from a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society to a new society with national independence and the people being the masters of the country, from a new-democratic revolution to a socialist revolution and construction, from a highly centralized planned economic system to a dynamic socialist market economic system, and from a closed and semi-closed to an all-round opening. Society is more prosperous, more open, more democratic and more complicated. With the great changes in the status and environment of such a party, it is inevitable to adapt to the new great project of party building at a new historical starting point.
3. Take on new mission responsibilities. The new great project promotes the new great cause. What is Marxism and how to treat it? What is socialism and how to build it? What kind of party to build and how to build it? What kind of development, how to develop? It is the "four major issues" that we should shoulder and must solve at present. Only by solving these problems, can we achieve "three always become" and keep the advanced nature forever, that is, always walk in the forefront of the times in the historical process of profound changes in the world situation; It has always been the backbone in the historical process of dealing with various risks and tests at home and abroad; In the historical process of developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics, it has always been a strong leadership core.
4. There are new target requirements. The decision profoundly puts forward the general requirements of "four efforts", namely, continuing to emancipate the mind, persisting in reform and opening up, promoting scientific development and promoting social harmony, improving the party's ruling ability, maintaining and developing the party's advanced nature, enhancing the sense of mission and responsibility of the whole party for the cause of the party and the people, and maintaining the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the people. These "four stresses" point out the key points of party building under the new situation and embody the dialectical unity relationship between party building and the cause led by the party. The "Decision" comprehensively summarizes "six basic experiences", namely, six persistences: insisting on putting ideological and theoretical construction in the first place and improving the Marxist theoretical level of the whole party; Adhere to the close combination of promoting the great project of party building and the great cause of party leadership, and ensure that the party always becomes the strong leadership core of the socialist cause; Adhere to the construction of ruling ability and advanced nature as the main line to ensure that the party always walks in the forefront of the times; Insist on building the party for the public and governing for the people, and maintain the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the people; Persist in reform and innovation to enhance the vitality of the party; Adhere to the party's management of the party, strictly manage the party, and improve the level of managing the party. "Decision" scientifically summarizes the basic experience accumulated by China * * * Production Party in the 60-year ruling party construction practice. This is the first time that the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China scientifically summed up the basic experience of leading the people to build Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and the Fourth Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee scientifically summed up the main experience of the party in power for 55 years. The "Decision" expounds six strategic priorities: first, to build a learning-oriented political party and a ruling party armed with scientific theories, with a world vision, good grasp of the law and innovative spirit; Second, do a good job in inner-party democracy, stimulate the vitality of the party, and safeguard the party's high degree of centralization and unity; Third, deepen the reform of the cadre personnel system and build a team of high-quality cadres who are good at promoting scientific development and promoting social harmony; Fourth, do a good job in basic work at the grass-roots level and consolidate the organizational foundation of the party's governance; Fifth, carry forward the party's fine style of work and maintain the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the people; Sixth, carry out the anti-corruption struggle in depth and win the trust of the people with new anti-corruption achievements. These are not only new goals, but also new requirements, new measures and new tasks, which must be consistently implemented at present and in the future.
