The courage to carry out self-revolution and strictly manage the party and govern the party is the most distinctive character of our party and is also the greatest advantage of our party.

In order to carry out the great social revolution of upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, our party must have the courage to carry out self-revolution.

The reason why our party has the courage to revolutionize itself is that our party has never forgotten its original aspiration, kept its mission firmly in mind, and persisted in seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation.

Apart from the interests of the state, the nation, and the people, our party does not have any special interests of its own. Only by not seeking personal interests can we seek the foundation and great benefits, and only then can we be qualified and confident, dare to face problems, and have the courage to revolutionize ourselves.

In the course of nearly a century of struggle to lead China's revolution, construction, and reform, why has our party been able to stand out in the repeated contests of various political forces in modern China?

Why can we always walk in the forefront of the times and become the backbone of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation? The fundamental reason lies in the fact that our party has always maintained the spirit of self-revolution, picked up the scalpel again and again to get rid of its own diseases, relied on its own strength and the strength of integration with the masses to solve its own problems again and again, and overcame one seemingly insurmountable difficulty after another.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that

"The greatness of the Communist Party of China lies not in not making mistakes, but in never shying away from medical treatment, daring to face problems head-on, and having the courage to revolutionize itself."

Practice has proved that every self-revolution of our party is not a simple self-repair, but a profound transformation and in-depth reshaping from the inside out, enabling our party to turn crises into safety and turn crises into opportunities again and again, constantly from small to large and from weak to strong, and leading the Chinese people from victory to victory.

Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and party building is facing arduous tasks. On the one hand, the decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has put forward unprecedented new challenges and new requirements for our party.

On the other hand, the various factors that affect the party's advanced nature and weaken the party's purity are very dangerous and destructive; the tests of governance, reform and opening up, market economy, and the external environment that the party is facing are long-term and complex, and the dangers of mental slackness, lack of ability, detachment from the masses, and passivity and corruption are acute and severe.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that our party must shoulder the historical mission of the new era, always become the vanguard of the times, the backbone of the nation, and always become a Marxist ruling party, and it must always be strong.

What does it mean to be good? It is to dare to carry out self-revolution, dare to turn the blade inward, dare to scrape the bones to heal the wounds, and dare to break the wrist of a strong man.

Only when our party has the courage to face problems head-on, eliminate all factors that undermine the party's advanced nature and purity, eliminate all viruses that erode the party's healthy body, and constantly enhance the party's ability to purify, improve, innovate, and improve itself, can our party ensure that the party has vigorous vitality and strong combat effectiveness and provide a strong political guarantee for the development of the cause of the party and the country.

Having the courage to make self-revolution and administering the party strictly in an all-round way is the consistent requirement and fundamental principle of party building. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly put forward the general requirements for party building in the new era, emphasizing the need to adhere to and strengthen the party's overall leadership, insist that the party should manage the party and govern the party strictly in an all-round way, and take strengthening the party's long-term governance capacity building, advanced nature and purity construction as the main line, take the party's political construction as the guide, take firm ideals, beliefs and purposes as the foundation, and mobilize the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the whole party as the focus to comprehensively promote the party's political, ideological, organizational, work style and discipline construction, and run the system construction through it. We should push forward the anti-corruption struggle in depth, continuously improve the quality of party building, and build the party into a vigorous Marxist ruling party that always walks in the forefront of the times, is wholeheartedly supported by the people, has the courage to carry out self-revolution, and can withstand the test of all kinds of storms.

The general requirements of party building in the new era have made top-level design and strategic arrangements for promoting the new great project of party building, further enriched and developed the Marxist theory of party building, marked that our party's understanding of the law of party building has reached a new height, and pointed out the path and direction of progress for promoting the new great project of party building in the new era and continuing to promote the party's self-revolution.
