5. Strengthen the Party's leadership over the comprehensive rule of law
Upholding the party's leadership is the fundamental requirement of the socialist rule of law and the proper meaning of comprehensively advancing the rule of law.
General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that the relationship between the party and the law is a fundamental issue, and if this issue is handled well, the rule of law, the party and the country will prosper; If it is not handled well, the rule of law, the party, and the country will decline.
By grasping this fundamental issue, we have grasped the essence and core of the socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics.
Upholding the Party's leadership is the soul of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics. The party's leadership is the most fundamental guarantee for achieving the overall goal of comprehensively advancing the rule of law, and we must always uphold the party's position as the core of leadership in controlling the overall situation and coordinating all parties.
The most fundamental reason why China's rule of law construction in the new era can quickly create a new situation and write a new chapter is the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core and the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.
Comprehensively governing the country according to law should be conducive to strengthening and improving the party's leadership, consolidating the party's ruling position, and fulfilling the party's ruling mission, and by no means weakening the party's leadership.
The major decision of the CPC Central Committee to establish the Central Committee for Comprehensive Law-based Governance is a major measure to strengthen the Party's unified leadership over the construction of a rule of law in China, and is of great significance and plays a key role in better upholding the Party's leadership over the comprehensive law-based governance.
Implement the party's leadership in the entire process and all aspects of governing the country according to law. To advance the comprehensive rule of law in the new era, we must take Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as a scientific guide and firmly establish it
The "four consciousnesses" are the fundamental principles, the firm maintenance of the authority of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core and the centralized and unified leadership are the fundamental requirements, and the upholding and strengthening of the party's leadership is the fundamental guarantee.
Complete systems and working mechanisms for the Party's leadership in governing the country according to law, improve the working mechanisms and procedures for the Party to determine the principles, policies, and decision-making arrangements for governing the country according to the law, and strengthen the Party's unified leadership, deployment, and overall coordination of the comprehensive governance of the country according to the law.
Give full play to the role of Party committees at all levels as the core of leadership, truly place the establishment of the rule of law in a prominent position in the overall work, and make the same deployment, advancement, supervision, evaluation, and rewards and punishments as economic and social development.
Further improve the responsibility implementation mechanism for the unified leadership of Party committees and the division of labor and responsibility of all parties, and strengthen the effective implementation of the principles and policies and decision-making arrangements for comprehensively governing the country according to law.
Correctly understand and grasp the relationship between the party and the law. The issue of the relationship between the party and the law is a major political issue.
In response to the attempts of some ill-intentioned people at home and abroad to separate and oppose the party's leadership and the rule of law, and finally achieve the goal of negating and canceling the party's leadership, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out sharply,
"Party Congress or Law Congress" is a political trap and a false proposition. In our country, the law is the unified embodiment of the party's propositions and the people's will, the party leads the people in formulating the constitution and laws, the party leads the people in implementing the constitution and laws, and the party itself must act within the scope of the constitution and laws.
The party and the law, the party's leadership, and the rule of law are highly integrated. We talk about governing the country according to the constitution and ruling according to the constitution, which is the same as what the West says
"Constitutionalism" is fundamentally different. Upholding the rule of the country and ruling the country in accordance with the Constitution includes unswervingly upholding the leadership position of the Communist Party of China as determined by the Constitution, and unswervingly upholding the state system of the people's democratic dictatorship and the system of people's congresses as determined by the Constitution.
Anyone who negates the leadership of the Communist Party of China and China's socialist system under any pretext is wrong, harmful, violates the Constitution, and is absolutely unacceptable.
Of course, we say it doesn't exist
The question of "the party congress or the law congress" is to refer to the party as a ruling whole and to the party's ruling and leading position; in the specific case of every party and government organization and every leading cadre, they must obey and abide by the constitution and laws, and they must not regard the party's leadership as a shield for individuals to substitute words for the law, to suppress the law with power, to violate the law for profit, and to bend the law for personal gain.
This line must be clearly demarcated. To comprehensively govern the country according to law, we must grasp the leading cadres
"Critical Minority". Leading cadres being models of respecting the law, studying the law, abiding by the law, and using the law are the key to achieving the goal and task of comprehensively governing the country according to law.
Every leading cadre must firmly establish the basic rule of law concepts such as the supremacy of the Constitution and the law, equality before the law, power is prescribed by law, and power is exercised in accordance with the law, and enhance the ability to use the rule of law thinking and methods to deepen reform, promote development, resolve contradictions, and maintain stability.
Even if a person has great ability, if he does not have a strong sense of the rule of law and does not abide by the rules, he cannot become a leading cadre.
We must not allow those who do not have a strong sense of the rule of law and are lawless to rise step by step; the greater the position of such a person, the greater the harm to the party and the state.
It is necessary to make the ability to abide by the law and handle affairs according to law an important part of the examination of cadres, and under the same conditions, priority should be given to promoting and employing cadres who have a good legal literacy and a strong ability to handle affairs according to law.
It is necessary to put power in the cage of the system, take the strict implementation of the rule of law as a fundamental policy, and solve the real proposition of whether the power is great or the law is great.
Party discipline and state law cannot become
"Plasticine",
"Scarecrow". Under the rule of law, there is no exoneration
"Danshu Iron Coupon", there is no either
"The Iron Hat King". Grasping the rule of law in a leading position is the key to comprehensively governing the country according to law. The principal responsible persons of the party and government must do their own work, and they must not be the shopkeepers, they must not engage in showmanship or superficial things, and they must not hold meetings or talk once or twice a year.
In order to ensure that the number one person grasps the rule of law, the Central Committee has formulated and implemented the "Provisions on the Performance of the Duties of the First Responsible Person for Advancing the Establishment of the Rule of Law by the Principal Responsible Persons of the Party and Government", which clarifies the main responsibilities that the principal responsible persons of local Party committees and governments at the county level or above should perform in advancing the establishment of the rule of law, and consolidates the responsibility of the number one person in advancing the establishment of the rule of law in the system.
