Fourth, consolidate and develop the broadest patriotic united front
The support of the people and the balance of forces are the key to determining the success or failure of the cause of the party and the people, and it is the biggest politics.
The essential requirement of united front work is great unity and great alliance, and what is solved is the problem of people's support and strength. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The united front is an important magic weapon for the victory of the party's cause, and it must be adhered to for a long time. "In the course of revolution, construction, and reform over a long period of time, our party has always placed the united front and united front work in an important position in the work of the whole party, and has formed a broad patriotic united front under the leadership of the Communist Party of China with the participation of all democratic parties and people's organizations, including all socialist workers, builders of the socialist cause, patriots who support socialism, patriots who support the reunification of the motherland and are committed to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and has played a very important role in the continuous development of the cause of the party and the people.
In the new era, the main contradiction in China's society has been transformed into a contradiction between the people's growing needs for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development, the social structure and the pattern of interests have undergone profound changes, new social strata have been emerging, ideological concepts have become increasingly diverse, and the tasks of reform, development, and stability are still arduous and arduous.
To shoulder the historical mission and achieve the new goals, we need to pool the wisdom and strength of all social strata and all sectors to the greatest extent, bring into play the enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity of the whole society and the whole nation to the greatest extent, and consolidate and develop the broadest patriotic united front.
To consolidate and develop the broadest patriotic united front, the most fundamental thing is to uphold the party's leadership. The united front is the united front under the leadership of the party.
In united front work, the policies implemented and the measures adopted must be conducive to upholding and consolidating the party's leading and ruling position, and it is necessary to grasp the laws, uphold principles, and pay attention to methods.
At the same time, it must be made clear that the party's leadership over the united front is mainly political leadership, that is, leadership over political principles, political orientation, and major principles and policies, which is mainly embodied in the leadership of party committees rather than departmental leadership and collective leadership rather than individual leadership.
We must be unswerving in upholding the party's leadership, but in the process, we must also respect, safeguard, and take care of the interests of our allies and help people outside the party overcome their worries and difficulties.
To consolidate and develop the broadest patriotic united front, it is necessary to correctly handle the relationship between unity and diversity.
The united front is a unity of consistency and diversity. Consistency and diversity are not static, but historical, concrete, and evolving.
The key to correctly handling the relationship between the two lies in persistently seeking common ground while reserving differences. On the one hand, it is necessary to continuously consolidate the common ideological and political foundation, including consolidating the existing consensus and promoting the formation of a new consensus, which is the foundation and premise.
On the other hand, it is necessary to give full play to democracy and respect and tolerate differences. We must take a clear-cut stand against issues that endanger the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the socialist regime of our country, the state system and the rule of law, and the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people.
For all kinds of other diversity, it is necessary to find the greatest common divisor and draw the greatest concentric circles through patient and meticulous work as much as possible.
To consolidate and develop the broadest patriotic united front, we must be good at making friends and friendships. The united front is the work of people, and the purpose of engaging in the united front is to strengthen the strength of common struggle.
General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that whether the united front work is done well or not depends on how many friends you make, whether you are qualified or not, and whether you are strong enough.
Make a wide range of friends, the more friends the better, especially to make some close friends who can speak from the heart.
If you want to make such friends, you can't make fast food, but do it
Kung fu dishes such as "Buddha jumping over the wall". We must persist in stressing respect, equality, and sincerity, and we must also persist in stressing principles, discipline, and rules, and make a large number of good and true friends who are kind-hearted for the party out of public interest.
To consolidate and develop the broadest patriotic united front, we must hold high the banner of patriotism and socialism, firmly grasp the theme of great unity and great alliance, extensively unite the sons and daughters of China, and plunge into the great practice of winning a decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and building a modern socialist country in an all-round way.
It is necessary to persist in long-term coexistence, mutual supervision, treating each other with all sincerity, sharing weal and woe, and support democratic parties in better performing their functions in accordance with the requirements of socialist parties participating in political parties with Chinese characteristics.
Comprehensively implement the party's ethnic policy, deepen the education of ethnic unity and progress, forge a strong sense of community of the Chinese nation, strengthen exchanges and integration of all ethnic groups, and promote all ethnic groups to hug each other like pomegranate seeds, work together in unity, and strive for common prosperity and development.
Comprehensively implement the Party's basic policy on religious work, adhere to the direction of sinicization of religion in our country, and actively guide religion to adapt to socialist society.
Strengthen the work of non-party intellectuals, do a good job in the work of people from new social strata, and give play to their important role in the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
