The "Circular" stresses that launching a nationwide special struggle to eliminate organized crime and vice is a major decision made by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, which is related to the overall stability of society and the long-term peace and stability of the country, to the support of the people and the consolidation of grassroots political power, and to the great struggle, the construction of great projects, the promotion of great causes, and the realization of great dreams. All regions and departments should further enhance their political positions, earnestly strengthen the "four consciousnesses", fully understand the great significance of carrying out the special struggle to clear away organized crime and eliminate vice, truly unify thinking and action with the arrangements of the Party Central Committee, scientifically plan, meticulously organize, and carefully implement, and resolutely win the tough battle of the special struggle to clear away organized crime and eliminate vice.

The "Circular" clearly defines the overall requirements, goals, and tasks of this special struggle to sweep away organized crime and eliminate vice. The "Notice" pointed out that it is necessary to fully implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, firmly establish the people-centered development thinking, and in view of the current new trends in issues related to organized crime and vice, earnestly combine special governance with systematic governance, comprehensive governance, governance in accordance with the law, and governance at the source, and crack down on crimes by underworld forces and anti-corruption, and grassroots "swatting flies" Combined, combining the elimination of organized crime and evil with the strengthening of the building of grassroots organizations, not only to forcefully crack down on and deter the crimes of underworld forces, forming an overwhelming situation, but also to effectively eradicate the breeding ground for underworld forces, forming a long-term effective mechanism, continuously enhancing the people's sense of gain, happiness, and security, maintaining social harmony and stability, consolidating the party's ruling foundation, and creating a safe and stable social environment for the decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, winning the great victory of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The "Circular" points out that it is necessary to uphold the party's leadership and give play to political advantages; uphold the people's dominant position and closely rely on the masses; persist in comprehensive management and make concerted efforts; persist in severely punishing according to law and cracking down on small problems at an early stage; and persist in curing both the symptoms and the root causes and at the source.

The "Circular" stresses that it is necessary to focus on key areas, key industries, and key areas where problems related to organized crime and vice are prominent, and always aim the sharp edge of the crackdown on all kinds of illegal and criminal activities of underworld forces that the masses have the strongest reaction to and the most hatred. It is necessary to persist in severely punishing in accordance with the law, cracking down on small crimes as early as possible, and eradicating evil as much as possible, and always maintain a high-pressure posture of cracking down all kinds of criminal and evil forces violating the law and committing crimes. All political and legal organs should further clarify the boundaries of policies and laws, unify law enforcement thinking, strengthen coordination and cooperation, and persist in severely cracking down on all kinds of violations and crimes by underworld forces, and also persist in handling cases strictly in accordance with law, ensuring the unity of the quality and efficiency of case handling, and ensuring the unity of political, legal, and social effects. The criminal policy of blending leniency and severity should be strictly implemented, and the organizers, leaders, and core members of underworld criminal organizations, as well as their "protective umbrellas", should be severely punished in accordance with law, and other participants whose crimes were less serious should be given lighter or commuted punishments in accordance with law. Measures such as sealing, seizure, and freezing should be promptly employed in accordance with law, and various methods such as recovery, confiscation, and sentencing of property and administrative fines should be comprehensively used to eradicate the economic base of underworld forces. It is necessary to take the initiative to adapt to the trial-centered reform of the criminal procedure system, conscientiously control the facts, evidence, procedures, and application of law in cases, strictly prohibit extorting confessions by torture, prevent unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, and ensure that every case is handled as an ironclad case.

The "Circular" calls that, under the leadership of party committees at all levels, give full play to the advantages of comprehensive management of public security, promote all departments to perform their own duties, make concerted efforts, and comprehensively use various means to prevent and resolve prominent problems of violations and crimes by underworld forces. All relevant departments should combine their own functions to take the initiative to undertake their duties and tasks in the special struggle to clear away organized crime and eliminate vice, administering and performing their duties in accordance with law, strengthening oversight of key industries and fields, preventing administrative inaction and disorderly conduct, and squeezing the breeding space for underworld forces to the greatest extent. All relevant departments should promptly report to the public security organs leads related to organized crime and vice discovered during routine law enforcement inspections, and establish and complete mechanisms for the discovery and transfer of leads. Political and legal organs should promptly report to the relevant departments and put forward suggestions for strengthening supervision and administrative law enforcement of loopholes in industry management discovered in the course of handling cases.

The "Circular" points out that it is necessary to combine the anti-crime and anti-evil struggle with the grass-roots "fly swatting" and dig deep into the "protective umbrella" of the criminal syndicates and evil forces. Discipline inspection and supervision organs should make the management of the problem of Party members and cadres involved in organized crime and vice a key point in rectifying the problem of corruption around the masses, and include it in the content of discipline enforcement supervision and inspection and inspection work. Discipline inspection and supervision organs and political and legal organs are to establish mechanisms for the rapid transfer and feedback of leads on problems, promptly digging deep into the corruption behind each case of illegal or criminal activities involving organized crime and vice, and preventing the handling of cases and the discussion of matters on a case-by-case basis. Discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels should make the issue of Party members and cadres involved in organized crime and vice the focus of their discipline enforcement review, give priority to handling clues on the "protective umbrella" problem discovered in the special struggle to eliminate organized crime and vice, and investigate and deal with them together, no matter who is involved, to the end and never tolerate it. Intensify supervision and handling, combining the crackdown on "protective umbrellas" with the investigation and handling of cases involving organized crime and vice, so that simultaneous investigation and handling are achieved, and in particular, it is necessary to grasp the key supervision and handling of cases involving organized crime and vice and corruption that have been intertwined for a long time and are deeply intertwined, as well as cases involving organized crime and vice and corruption in the field of poverty alleviation.

The "Circular" demands that party committees and governments at all levels regard the special struggle to sweep away organized crime and eliminate vice as a major political task, place it in a prominent position in the overall situation of work, and include it in the important agenda. The principal responsible comrades of party committees and governments at all levels must have the courage to take responsibility, dare to face tough problems, take a clear-cut stand and support the work of sweeping away organized crime and eliminating vice, and provide a strong guarantee for political and legal organs to handle cases in accordance with the law and for relevant departments to perform their duties in accordance with the law, and to dig deep and thoroughly investigate the "protective umbrella" to remove resistance and provide a strong guarantee. It is necessary to have a resolute attitude toward issues related to organized crime and vice, especially major and important cases that the masses have strongly resented, and no matter who is involved, it is necessary to investigate to the end, especially to find out the "protective umbrella" behind them, and resolutely investigate and handle them in accordance with the law without ambiguity.

The "Circular" points out that it is necessary to strictly implement the leadership responsibility system for the comprehensive management of social security, and urge the rectification of areas, industries, and fields where problems related to organized crime and vice are prominent, through such methods as circulars, interviews, and listing for supervision. Where the problem is serious and causes a vile impact, the discipline inspection and supervision organs and organization and personnel departments are to strictly pursue the responsibility of the first responsible person and other relevant responsible persons in accordance with law and discipline, and will not tolerate it. Strictly implement industry regulatory responsibilities, and where routine oversight is not in place, leading to the breeding and spread of underworld forces, responsibility should be reversed and strictly held accountable.
