Members of Hezbollah were strongly condemned by the United States for sanctions.

       Cctv newsThe U.S. Treasury Department recently put two Lebanese parliamentarians and a security official on the sanctions list on the grounds that these three people are senior members of Hezbollah in Lebanon and participated in many activities supporting Hezbollah.

       According to Reuters, this is the first time that the U.S. Treasury has sanctioned Lebanese parliamentarians, which is "quite unusual", and Lebanon has reacted strongly to it.

       On the 10th, Lebanese Speaker Berry condemned this sanction, believing that it was an "attack" by the US on the Lebanese Parliament and even Lebanon as a whole.

       In an interview with a TV station on the evening of the 9th local time, Lebanese Finance Minister Ali Hassan Khalil said that the US sanctions were "groundless and not conducive to financial stability" and "without justifiable reasons".

       On the 11th, members of the Lebanese Parliament belonging to the Party of Allah held a meeting in Beirut to discuss countermeasures. Two members who were sanctioned by the US side, mohamed hassan Raad and Amin Sheri, also attended the meeting.

       Hezbollah in Lebanon was founded in the 1980s, and has been listed as a terrorist organization by the United States since 1997. It has been sanctioned many times before. However, through the parliamentary elections in May last year and the formation of a new cabinet in January this year, Hezbollah’s influence in Lebanon continued to rise, which once again triggered US concerns.

It’s too expensive! What happened to American prices?

Recently, on foreign social media, many Americans have complained about the rising cost of living.

An American posted a meal bill on foreign social media, complaining about the current high prices in the United States, such as a sandwich, which costs more than 100 yuan; At the same time, many American bloggers on foreign social media constantly spit out the current living environment, causing hundreds of thousands of comments to resonate.

How much pressure does the American people have on their lives?

The sojourner in the United States said this.

Guo Guojun interviewed several overseas Chinese studying and living in the United States. They said that although the price in the United States has been at a high level in recent years, the situation of "sky-high" sandwiches is not common. Recently, the overall price has risen partially, but most of them are still within the acceptable range.

Mr. Kong, who has lived in Washington for ten years, told Guo Guojun that in and around Washington, DC, the prices of daily necessities and food in large and medium-sized supermarket chains frequented by local Americans, such as Walmart, Target and Whole Foods, increased slightly, and some even lowered the prices of commonly used foods to stimulate consumption. In contrast, the Asian food monopoly supermarkets frequented by Asians and Chinese, such as 99 Dahua and Greater China, have seen a marked increase in food and fresh food prices. This has led to a sharp increase in the prices of Chinese restaurants and take-away vegetables, ranging from 10% to 30%.

Wang Jiarui, who has been studying at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for three years, told Guojun that in Wisconsin, prices are like "boiled frogs in warm water" and "our sensitivity to prices is decreasing due to high prices for many years".

In an interview with Guo Guojun, Ms. Yang, who works for Costco Retail in the United States, bluntly said that in Los Angeles and California, prices have obviously increased recently, especially for a box of eggs, which has increased by about $2. At the same time, she said that there is also a certain gap in the prices of different States in the United States. It may be that there is a certain imbalance between the supply and demand of local related foods, which led to the emergence of "high-priced sandwiches".

At the same time, pay cuts, layoffs and rising housing insurance have become increasingly serious, which has also affected the lives of the American people.

According to the report of the Federal Reserve, in the past year, the cost of renting a house in the United States was higher than that in the previous year: 19% of tenants said that they had defaulted on their rent in the previous year, up from 17% in 2022. According to the survey, the current rent cost in the United States is much higher than the overall inflation rate, and the median monthly rent has risen by 10% to $1,100.

Mr. Kong said that in the past 1-2 years, inflation has led to a significant increase in house prices and rents. House prices in some school districts and convenient transportation areas have risen by more than 15%. In addition, daily living expenses such as water, electricity, coal and gasoline prices have also increased slightly, especially the average increase of residents’ electricity bills has exceeded 8%.

On foreign social media, many low-and middle-income Americans express their dissatisfaction with the current living environment. One user wrote: "I’m exhausted, but we shouldn’t go bankrupt because of basic expenses." Another user said: "The rent has increased by 500 dollars since the beginning of this year. In order to continue living in the house, I have to work two jobs at the same time."

Inflation in the United States has slowed down but remains stubborn

Recently, inflation in the United States has dropped slightly, and it has slowed down for two consecutive months in May.

According to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the consumer price index (CPI) in the United States in May increased by 3.3% year-on-year, slightly lower than the previous value and expected value of 3.4%; In May, the CPI increased by 0% month-on-month, which was also significantly slower than the previous value, the lowest level since July 2022.

Although the price pressure in the United States has weakened, different Americans have different views on price perception, mainly because of their different lifestyles, income levels and consumption habits. Some people in the United States still continue to feel the tremendous pressure brought by stubborn inflation.

For example, most Americans say that their financial situation has hardly changed in the past year, and some Americans say that life has become more difficult. According to a poll, nearly half of the people in the United States believe that the recent inflation has made their lives even more difficult. The US media believes that the inflation rate may continue to be higher than the wage increase in the next few years.

The American media reported recently that there is more and more evidence that American consumers are reducing their consumption when facing severe economic obstacles. Low-income Americans are already struggling, and the pain has now spread to middle-income consumers.

This pressure may last for a long time. The American media reported that an analysis of Moneywise financial website based on the data of the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Federal Housing Administration and the online real estate service website Redfin pointed out that in the next few years, the inflation rate will continue to exceed the increase of wages in most industries. In the past five years, 97% of the professional wages have failed to keep up with inflation, and waiters are the only industry that has achieved real wage growth.

Inflationary pressure is a long-term problem

On June 12, local time, the Federal Reserve’s meeting on interest rates released the latest statement. The US economic activity continued to expand steadily, employment growth remained strong, and the inflation rate eased in the past year, but it was still at a high level.

Zhang Monan, a researcher at China International Economic Exchange Center.He said that strong domestic demand in the United States has led to an increase in inflation expectations. Despite the recent decline in inflation growth for two consecutive months, the price increases in food, housing, transportation, medical care and other fields are structural and may exist for a long time, which has squeezed the spending power of American consumers.

Zhang Monan said that from the current point of view, the Fed remains in a relatively neutral position. Therefore, on the one hand, promoting interest rate cuts will take inflation into account, on the other hand, it will help the Biden administration to continue to expand its fiscal revenue and expenditure, thus reducing the financing cost of long-term US government bonds.

According to the May retail sales data recently released by the US Department of Commerce, the US retail sales in May increased by 0.1% month-on-month, which was lower than the market expectation of 0.3%, and the previous value was revised down from 0% to -0.2%.

Professor Li Haidong, Institute of International Relations, Foreign Affairs University.China News Service is a through train, which means that inflation in the United States is a long-term phenomenon and cannot be solved in the short term. This kind of inflation is closely related to the existing economic structural problems in the United States. At present, prices in the United States continue to rise, mainly because of the high tariffs in the US foreign trade and economic policy, which leads to the high tariffs being borne by American consumers themselves.

"Blindly imposing tariffs can only lead to inflation; Without tariffs, people will be dissatisfied with the authorities. Therefore, the existing political level in the United States cannot find a satisfactory answer. Inflation will be a long-term problem, and the loose conditions in a short time are not mature. " Li Haidong said.

DuckDuckGo browser has launched a cross-platform password bookmark function, which enables one-click synchronization by scanning code binding devices.

On February 15th, DuckDuckGo browser announced a cross-platform password sharing function yesterday.

It is reported that DuckDuckGo browser originally supported users to import bookmarks and passwords from other browsers into DuckDuckGo, but the newly added "password synchronization function" allows users to freely synchronize bookmarks and passwords of DuckDuckGo browsers on various platforms without logging in to an account.

IT House inquired about the official press release of DuckDuckGo, and learned that DuckDuckGo claimed that although competitors such as Google also provided similar cross-platform password sharing functions, while users enjoyed cross-platform password sharing, relevant private information would be quietly obtained by Google.

The advantage of DuckDuckGo is that users only need to scan the QR code to synchronize bookmarks and passwords. After the synchronization is completed, users can manually store the backup "Recovery PDF" file in a safe place. If the user’s device is lost or damaged, they can use "Recovery PDF" to recover their passwords and bookmark data.

Adjust the suggested retail price to mark Feitian Maotai, and speed up the high-end Wuliangye?

Recently, the news that Wuliangye suggested that the retail price should be adjusted to 1499 yuan attracted attention, which was interpreted by the outside world as wanting to bid for 53-degree flying Maotai.
On March 27th, the Beijing News reporter visited a Wuliangye store in Haidian, Beijing. At present, the price of the eighth-generation Wuliangye 52-degree 500ml single bottle has been adjusted to 1499 yuan. In the official flagship store of Wuliangye, the e-commerce platform, the price of this product is also displayed as 1499 yuan. However, the actual purchase price is lower than 1499 yuan, ranging from 1100 yuan to 1200 yuan.
Some Wuliangye dealers confirmed to the Beijing News reporter that "the eighth-generation Wuliangye price adjustment notice was recently received from the manufacturer". In its view, "the market price of Wuliangye has not kept pace with the retail price. Adjusting the retail price may affect the profit of distributors, but it will also be a test of survival of the fittest for channel terminals."
In February this year, Wuliangye ushered in a new head and started a new round of high-quality development. The industry believes that the proposed retail price adjustment releases the signal that Wuliangye will enhance its quality value and brand potential. At the same time, it also means the transformation and upgrading of Wuliangye, paying more attention to terminal marketing, and helping to cultivate brand value.
Some dealers have received the price adjustment notice. 
On March 27th, the Beijing News reporter visited a Wuliangye specialty store in Haidian, Beijing. The price of a 52-degree eighth-generation Wuliangye 500ml single bottle was 1499 yuan. The staff in the store introduced, "(retail price) has just been adjusted, and the price of goods can be cheaper, with a single bottle of 1100 yuan; Get the whole box, a single bottle of 1050 yuan. " At the same time, the clerk also said that "the price tag has been adjusted, and the actual transaction price may be adjusted in the future."

Subsequently, the Beijing News reporter visited chain liquor stores and supermarkets, and some liquor store clerks said that they had heard about the proposed retail price adjustment.
In the official flagship store of Tmall Wuliangye, the price of a 52-degree eighth-generation Wuliangye 500 ml single bottle is 1499 yuan, and it is 1220 yuan after participating in the activity of 1499 minus 279. The Beijing News reporter consulted the customer service as a consumer whether the manufacturer’s guide price of this product was raised, and the customer service replied that "the prices of goods are all audited by the company and uniformly priced". According to the pictures provided by customer service, the activity of subtracting 279 from 1499 will end on April 15, 2022.
In Wuliangye’s new retail APP, the price of a 52-degree eighth-generation Wuliangye 500 ml single bottle shows 1220 yuan, but there is also a underlined price on the page showing 1499 yuan.

On March 27, the Beijing News reporter from HenanoneThe distributor of Wuliangye learned that "a few days ago, it was informed by the manufacturer that the suggested retail price of the eighth generation Wuliangye has indeed been adjusted, from 1399 yuan to 1499 yuan per bottle". The distributor said that the adjustment "should be nationwide, mainly based on Wuliangye’s own development and market conditions".
Talking about whether to mark Feitian Maotai,The dealer believes that,Maotai is the representative of Maotai-flavor and Wuliangye is the representative of Luzhou-flavor. There is no comparability between them.
The research report issued by Ping An Securities pointed out that with the structural upgrading of consumption, the number of liquor enterprises above designated size continued to decrease, the concentration of the industry accelerated, and the price increase contributed to the main growth. The rising price of Feitian Maotai has opened the ceiling of high-end liquor and sub-high-end liquor. Wuliangye will continue to benefit from the high-end consumption spillover under the supply restriction of Maotai, and it will be a high probability event to realize the sale at a favorable price after the price increase.
As of press timeWuliangye official did not release the price adjustment news, and Wuliangye related staff also told the Beijing News reporter that it was not clear about this matter for the time being.
Forced dealers to transform and upgrade.
In recent years, there has been an upsurge of sauce-flavor liquor in the market, which makes Wuliangye, as the "boss" of Luzhou-flavor liquor, have to face the pressure from sauce-flavor liquor and carefully deal with the possible changes in consumers’ drinking preferences under the new consumption mode.
On February 18 this year, Wuliangye setTuanyingThe new head of the company once served as Party Secretary and Chairman of Wuliangye Group, and Party Secretary and Chairman of Wuliangye Co., Ltd.. Starting a new round of high-quality development and reaching a new level of development is the starting point and focus of Wuliangye’s "coaching change".
The Beijing News reporter noted that on March 11th, Wuliangye held the 2022 investor communication meeting by live online. Focusing on the development goal, Zeng Congqin proposed to make every effort to build Wuliangye with the five-in-one of "ecology, quality, culture, digital and sunshine" and sustained, steady and high-quality development, including upgrading and building the largest solid-state pure grain brewing base in the industry, continuously improving the industry-leading quality management system, improving the famous liquor rate of Wuliangye and adhering to "quality Wuliangye"; Build "Digital Wuliangye" and set a benchmark for digital transformation of China liquor industry.
According to media reports, Wuliangye has adjusted its ex-factory price at the beginning of this year. The planned ex-factory price of the eighth generation Wuliangye is still 889 yuan/bottle, but the unplanned price has increased from 999 yuan/bottle to 1089 yuan/bottle. Superimposing the proposed retail price adjustment, in the eyes of the industry, this means that Wuliangye is taking a series of measures to consolidate the advantage of thousand yuan price belt, and it is also a manifestation of enhancing its brand value.
However, in the view of the above-mentioned dealers, since the current market price of Wuliangye has not kept pace with the retail price, adjusting the retail price may affect the profit of distributors. "This adjustment is also a test of the strength of distributors, and the survival of the fittest will force distributors to continuously transform and upgrade, and the advantages of distributors with good performance will become more prominent, while distributors without stable customer base may face greater challenges. Overall, it may be more conducive to the long-term development of Wuliangye. "
Xiao Zhuqing, a liquor analyst, told the Beijing News reporter that the suggested retail price should be adjusted to 1,499 yuan, which can widen the price difference and improve the enthusiasm of the whole terminal channel. "In the past, Wuliangye mainly relied on large agents, and its marketing methods were relatively rough. From simple channel promotion and advertising, it now attaches great importance to terminal marketing, attaches importance to more accurate big data marketing, word-of-mouth sharing, etc., and at the same time builds cultural IP and begins to pay attention to the control of social inventory. These are all measures for the development of Wuliangye’s refined marketing."
According to the 2021 annual performance forecast released by Wuliangye recently, it is estimated that the revenue in 2021 will be about 66.2 billion yuan, an increase of about 15% year-on-year; It is estimated that the net profit will be about 23.35 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of about 17%. As for the reasons for the change in performance, Wuliangye said that it was mainly due to the continuous growth of the volume and price of the company’s core products.

Summary of the Speech at the Theoretical Seminar on "Strictly Administering the Party in an All-round Way" of the Forum on Governing the Country

  Strictly administering the Party in an all-round way is the fundamental guarantee for completing the historical mission.

  Feng Jun, Deputy Director of the Central Party History Research Office

  Realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the greatest dream of the Chinese nation in modern times, and it is also the historical mission of the Communist Party of China (CPC). Under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, we have never been closer to the goal of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. In his important speech on "July 26th", General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that if the Party wants to unite and lead the people in a great struggle, advance a great cause and realize a great dream, it must unswervingly uphold and improve the Party’s leadership, unswervingly push forward the new great project of Party building, and make the Party stronger and stronger.

  Strengthen political construction, comprehensively strengthen the party’s leadership and enhance the party’s cohesion, combat effectiveness, leadership and appeal. Party, government, military and civilian studies, east, west, north and south, the party is the leader of everything. Party member cadres should strictly abide by political discipline and rules, safeguard the authority of the CPC Central Committee, safeguard the unity and centralized leadership of the Party, firmly establish political awareness, overall situation awareness, core awareness and conformity awareness, and always maintain a high degree of consistency with the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core in ideological and political actions.

  Strengthen the education of ideals and beliefs and stick to the spiritual home of communist party people. The lofty ideal of communism and the common ideal of Socialism with Chinese characteristics are the spiritual pillar and political soul of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people. The majority of party member cadres must unswervingly adhere to the guiding position of Marxism, earnestly study the theoretical systems of Marxism–Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Socialism with Chinese characteristics, conscientiously study the spirit of the series of important speeches by the Supreme Leader General Secretary and the new ideas, new ideas and new strategies for governing the country and making up the "calcium" of the spirit.

  Adhere to the close combination of ideological party building and institutional party management, and put institutional construction throughout all aspects and the whole process of party building. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee has formulated and revised a number of inner-party laws and regulations, which has tightened the cage of the system. The promulgation and implementation of the inner-party laws and regulations, such as the Regulations on Patrol Work in the Communist Party of China (CPC), the Regulations on Accountability in the Communist Party of China (CPC), the Code of Integrity and Self-discipline in the Communist Party of China (CPC), and the Regulations on Disciplinary Actions in the Communist Party of China (CPC), have enabled the party to be strictly governed in an all-round way. In particular, the Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee adopted "Several Guidelines on Inner-Party Political Life under the New Situation" and "Regulations on Inner-Party Supervision in the Communist Party of China (CPC)", which provided an important system for strengthening and standardizing inner-party political life and strengthening inner-party supervision under the new situation.

  Adhere to strict management of officials and do a good job of leading cadres, the "key minority." Adhering to the correct orientation of selecting and appointing people, selecting and appointing cadres must adhere to the principle of having both ability and political integrity, putting morality first, adhering to all corners of the country, appointing people on their merits, and adhering to the standards of good cadres with firm beliefs, serving the people, being diligent and pragmatic, daring to take responsibility, and being honest and clean. Leading cadres should be strictly self-disciplined, cautious and cautious, start from themselves and manage from people around them.

  Maintain the overwhelming trend of the anti-corruption struggle. Shortly after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China closed, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee formulated and promulgated eight regulations, which sent a strong signal that discipline should be maintained and the Party should be strictly governed. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, with the determination of a strong man to break his wrist, curbs the bones and cures the poison and cures the furuncle with fierce drugs, and insists that corruption must be countered and greed must be eliminated, thus effectively curbing the spread of corruption. To adhere to the comprehensive and strict administration of the party, we must maintain the overwhelming trend of the anti-corruption struggle and constantly win the hearts and minds of the party.

 

  Stressing politics is a prominent feature and advantage of our party.

  Tang Zhouyan, Party Secretary of Shandong Academy of Social Sciences

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly stressed that our party, as a Marxist political party, stresses politics as a prominent feature and advantage. Deeply understanding and grasping the spiritual essence of this important thesis is of great significance for promoting the comprehensive and strict management of the Party, advancing the new great project of Party building and winning new victories in Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

  Taking a clear-cut stand and talking about politics is an important magic weapon for the Communist Party of China (CPC) people to defeat the enemy. As a Marxist political party, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has never denied his political attributes, and has always taken a clear-cut stand on politics. This is our party’s outstanding characteristics and advantages, and it is also an important magic weapon for our party to grow stronger and defeat the enemy. As early as the Gutian Conference, Comrade Mao Zedong clearly proposed to "improve the political level within the Party" and "make party member’s thoughts and life within the Party politicized and scientific". Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has unswervingly promoted the comprehensive and strict administration of the Party and repeatedly stressed that leading cadres should take a clear-cut stand and stress politics. Throughout the course of our party’s struggle, when the whole party stresses politics and the political life within the party is normal and healthy, the party’s cause will flourish; On the contrary, it may be full of ills and cause serious losses to the party’s cause. Standing at a new historical starting point, if we want to create a new situation in the cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, we must carry forward this outstanding feature and advantage of our Party and stress politics with a clear-cut stand.

  Take a clear-cut stand and say that the key to politics is to firmly establish the "four consciousnesses". Strengthening the "four consciousnesses" is the concentrated embodiment and inevitable requirement of taking a clear-cut stand and stressing politics. We should firmly establish political consciousness, adhere to the correct political direction and position, maintain a clear political mind and keen political discernment, always take the party’s banner as the banner, take the party’s direction as the direction, take the party’s will as the will, and maintain a high degree of political consistency with the CPC Central Committee; Firmly establish a sense of the overall situation, establish a correct view of the overall situation, consciously understand, obey and safeguard the overall situation, and effectively unify thoughts and actions with the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee. As long as things that are beneficial to the overall situation are done well, as long as words and deeds that hinder the overall situation are resolutely opposed, the whole party will always be guaranteed to play a game of chess; Firmly establish the core consciousness, resolutely safeguard the core position of the supreme leader’s general secretary, take the maintenance of the core as the first political requirement, and achieve full trust in thought, resolute maintenance in politics, conscious obedience in organization, deep recognition in emotion, and always follow in action; Firmly establish a sense of conformity, take the initiative to align with the CPC Central Committee with the supreme leader as the core, take the initiative to align with the party’s theory, line, principles and policies, and take the initiative to align with the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee.

  To promote the comprehensive and strict management of the party and develop in depth, we must take a clear-cut stand and stress politics. Standing at a new historical starting point, promoting the comprehensive and strict development of the party requires us to speak politics more clearly. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has persisted in focusing on, examining and solving outstanding problems within the Party politically, and has grasped the root of strictly administering the Party in an all-round way. In the process of strictly administering the party in an all-round way, we can’t just solve the problem of corruption and not solve political problems. Political problems of cadres are no less harmful to the party than corruption, and some are even more serious than corruption. At present, the strict administration of the party in an all-round way has entered a new stage, which requires us to speak politics more clearly.

 

  Firmly establish the "four consciousnesses" and resolutely safeguard the authority of the CPC Central Committee

  Zhang Lei, deputy editor-in-chief of Economic Daily

  Firmly establishing the "four consciousnesses" and resolutely safeguarding the authority of the CPC Central Committee are the inevitable requirements for upholding and consolidating the party’s leadership and ensuring the smooth development of the cause of the party and the state. The Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee pointed out: "A country and a political party have a core of leadership." "Resolutely safeguarding the authority of the CPC Central Committee and ensuring that all party orders are prohibited are the future and destiny of the party and the country and the fundamental interests of the people of all ethnic groups in the country."

  From the development history of Marxist political parties, it is a basic principle of Marxist political party construction to safeguard the central authority and the core of leadership. In the practice of leading the communist movement, Marx and Engels always emphasized the importance of authority, which they believed was related to the success or failure of the revolutionary cause. The history of socialist development in the world shows that the proletariat not only needs authority to carry out revolution, but also needs such authority in the process of consolidating political power, construction and reform. The failure of the CPSU also illustrates this truth from the opposite side: once a Marxist political party with a glorious history and once very strong destroys the central authority and abandons the party’s leadership, it will inevitably lead to the tragic situation of the party and the country. This is a lesson of blood, which we must remember deeply.

  Judging from the development history of our party in 1996, maintaining the central authority and the core of leadership is the fundamental guarantee for the continuous development of the party’s cause and the long-term stability of the country. Comrade Deng Xiaoping emphasized: "Any leading collective must have a core, and leadership without a core is unreliable.". He also pointed out that in history, the main reason for the frustration and failure of our party before Zunyi Conference was that it did not form a mature CPC Central Committee and a core of leadership that was widely expected. It was not until the central collective leadership with Comrade Mao Zedong as the core was formed that the China Revolution embarked on the smooth development. Similarly, in the historical process of promoting reform and opening up, the mature core of leadership also plays an irreplaceable role. The Communist Party of China (CPC) has gone through a glorious course of 96 years and has been in power for 68 years in a row. The reason why he has achieved the historic achievement of standing out from the rest of the world is that he has always emphasized upholding the leadership of the Party and safeguarding the authority of the CPC Central Committee.

  Judging from the conditions of the times faced by our party, maintaining the central authority and the core of leadership is the need to shoulder the historical responsibility of the party and complete the historical task of the party. Great and profound changes are taking place in the world today. China is in the decisive stage of building a well-off society in an all-round way. The Party is faced with the historical task of carrying out great struggles, building great projects, advancing great undertakings and realizing great dreams. Our party has made great achievements that have attracted worldwide attention and accumulated extremely rich ruling experience, but the "four tests" and "four dangers" are still grim, and the "rushing for the exam" is far from over. Today, Socialism with Chinese characteristics is like a big ship sailing through the waves in the sea of Wang Yang. More than ever, it needs a capable, experienced and authoritative helmsman to guide it. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has led the whole party, the whole army and the people of all nationalities in China to create a brand-new situation in the development of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cause, and has made a series of great achievements with great practical significance and far-reaching historical significance in reform, development and stability, internal affairs, foreign affairs and national defense, and in managing the party, country and army, and won the heartfelt love and support of the whole party, the whole army and the people of all nationalities in China. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader is the core of the CPC Central Committee and the whole Party formed in the practice of the new great struggle. Firmly safeguarding the authority of the CPC Central Committee and the core position of the Supreme Leader General Secretary are important guarantees for us to strive for new and greater victories.

 

  Serious inner-party political life is the basis of strictly administering the party in an all-round way.

  Ji Zhengju, Deputy Director of the Central Compilation Bureau

  The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Serious inner-party political life is the fundamental basic work of strictly administering the party in an all-round way and is a major task of the whole party." If the party wants to manage the party, it must manage the political life within the party; To strictly manage the party, we must start from the political life within the party. The "Several Guidelines on Political Life within the Party under the New Situation" and a series of important expositions by the Supreme Leader General Secretary on comprehensively administering the Party strictly have profoundly expounded the great significance, fundamental principles, basic requirements and scientific path of serious political life within the Party under the new situation, which is a scientific summary and theoretical sublimation of our Party’s experience in managing the Party and providing important compliance and institutional guarantee for comprehensively administering the Party strictly.

  Serious inner-party political life is the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s fine tradition and political advantage. Over the past 96 years, one of the important reasons why our party has been able to maintain its advanced nature and purity forever is to attach importance to the role of inner-party political life in party building and make it a fine tradition and heirloom. As early as 1926, our party began to use the concept of party life in the central document. In the long-term practice, our party has gradually formed the basic norms of inner-party political life with seeking truth from facts, integrating theory with practice, keeping close contact with the masses, criticizing and self-criticizing, democratic centralism and strict party discipline as the main contents, which has provided an important guarantee for the development of the cause of the party and the state.

  Serious inner-party political life is the golden key to solve the contradictions and problems existing in the party. History has proved that when the political life within the party is serious, the cause of the party and the people will flourish; Whenever the political life within the party is abnormal, the cause of the party and the people will encounter setbacks. One of the most important reasons why the Communist Party of China (CPC) can constantly overcome all kinds of difficulties and dangers and move from victory to victory is that he can overcome all kinds of contradictions and negative factors existing in the party in a timely and effective manner through regular, serious and serious political life within the party, such as dogmatism, empiricism, liberalism, hedonism, bureaucracy and sectarianism. Under the new situation, only by effectively solving the problems existing in the party through the political life within the party can our party maintain its advanced nature and purity in the face of "four major tests" and "four dangers".

  Serious inner-party political life is a melting pot for party member cadres to exercise their party spirit. Political life within the Party is the main platform for Party organizations to educate and manage party member and exercise party spirit. Party member cadres’ ability and prestige are closely related to whether they have been seriously trained in inner-party political life. Serious inner-party political life is like a melting pot, in which party member cadres consciously accept the baptism of thought and party style and discipline, and constantly temper party spirit, so that they can keep fit and be tempered into steel.

  Serious inner-party political life is a purifier of pure party style. What kind of inner-party political life there is, there is what kind of cadre style in party member. Political life within the party can not only purify the party style, but also promote the improvement of political style, folk customs and social atmosphere by stirring up turbidity, strengthening the body resistance and eliminating evil spirits. It can not only ensure the purity and health of cadres in party member, but also enable the Party organizations to constantly eliminate "dust" and "viruses", realize self-purification, self-improvement, self-innovation and self-improvement, and promote the continuous development of the comprehensive and strict administration of the Party.

 

  Strictly administering the Party in an all-round way inevitably requires strengthening inner-party supervision.

  Xie Feng, Professor of Party Building Teaching and Research Department of Central Party School

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader attaches great importance to strengthening inner-party supervision and has made many important expositions on strengthening inner-party supervision. Both history and reality show that strengthening inner-party supervision is an inevitable requirement of strictly administering the party in an all-round way.

  Deeply understand the significance of inner-party supervision to the comprehensive and strict administration of the party. This important significance can be understood from three aspects: first, from the historical experience of the party in power. Our party has deeply realized in its ruling practice that unsupervised power will inevitably lead to corruption, which is an iron law. As the ruling party, the biggest challenge our party faces is how to effectively supervise the power and keep the party’s advanced nature and purity forever. Among them, the most important supervision is the party’s own supervision, that is, inner-party supervision. The second is to learn from the failure of communist party in the Soviet Union. One of the main reasons for the collapse of the CPSU in the 1990s after more than 70 years in power was the lack of inner-party supervision and the abuse of power. This warns us that we should attach great importance to inner-party supervision and strictly manage the party. The third is to understand the problems faced by our party in the new period. At present, there are still many problems that need to be solved urgently in our Party. One of the important reasons is that the Party rules and regulations in party constitution have not been well implemented. To solve the problems existing in the Party, we must tighten inner-party supervision, promote the management of the Party from "loose and soft" to "strict and hard", ensure the effective implementation of party rules and discipline in party constitution, and provide an important guarantee for the comprehensive and strict management of the Party.

  Promote the comprehensive and strict administration of the party by strengthening inner-party supervision. First, build a scientific inner-party supervision system. At present, a new inner-party supervision system with clear division of labor, clear responsibilities and three-dimensional complementarity has been formed, namely, unified leadership by the CPC Central Committee, comprehensive supervision by party committees (party groups), special supervision by discipline inspection organs, functional supervision by party departments, daily supervision by party grass-roots organizations and democratic supervision by party member. We should give full play to the role of the inner-party supervision system and promote the comprehensive and strict management of the party. Second, seize the "key minority". The object of inner-party supervision includes ordinary party member, but the focus is on leading organs and leading cadres, which is the key to strictly administering the party and strengthening inner-party supervision. Grasping the "key minority", especially solving the supervision problem of the top leaders, can play a leading and exemplary role and is of great benefit to curbing corruption and creating a good political ecology. Third, make full use of various means of inner-party supervision. These means include criticism and self-criticism, reminding conversation and admonishing conversation, debriefing and commenting on honesty, letters and visits, etc. Among them, we should pay special attention to the role of criticism and self-criticism. Criticism and self-criticism are the party’s fine traditions and good ways to find and correct shortcomings and mistakes. We must make good use of this weapon for self-defense and treatment. Fourth, strengthen the formulation and implementation of the inner-party supervision system. Adhere to the problem orientation and improve the relevant system of inner-party supervision; By adhering to the above rate, strengthening study and education, and strengthening supervision and inspection, we will do a good job in the implementation of the inner-party supervision system. Fifth, adhere to the combination of inner-party supervision and non-party supervision. The ruling position of our party determines that inner-party supervision is the most basic and the first.Only by strengthening inner-party supervision can we promote non-party supervision. At the same time, we should pay attention to the role of non-party supervision, realize the effective combination of inner-party supervision and non-party supervision, complement each other’s advantages and exert their overall strength, so as to maximize the effectiveness of supervision.

 

  Strengthening ideals and beliefs and supplementing the "calcium" of the spirit

  Guo Guangyin, former Party Secretary of Southeast University

  Communist party people’s ideals and beliefs are their faith in Marxism, socialism and communism, and their loyalty to the Party and the people. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Ideals and beliefs are the spiritual’ calcium’ of communist party people. Without ideals and beliefs, ideals and beliefs will be’ calcium deficiency’ and’ rickets’." Today, if we want to push forward the new great project of party building, strictly manage the party and make the party stronger, we must ask party member cadres to make up the spiritual "calcium" of ideals and beliefs more consciously.

  To strictly manage the party in an all-round way, we must first strengthen our ideals and beliefs. Strictly administering the party in an all-round way is a systematic project, and strengthening ideals and beliefs is the theme that runs through this project. Judging from the Party’s organization, the Communist Party of China (CPC) adhered to the ideals of socialism and communism, which enabled the Party to make clear the direction of its efforts ideologically and politically, unite people’s strength, and maintain unity and unity. From party member’s individual point of view, ideals and beliefs are the political foundation and spiritual home for communist party people to settle down, which plays a key role in guiding and directing their thoughts and actions. Some party member cadres are politically deteriorated, economically greedy, morally degenerated and corrupted in life. In the final analysis, they lack the "calcium" of the spirit of ideals and beliefs.

  Strengthening ideals and beliefs should be based on "four possibilities" and "six noes". Regarding whether party member cadres have ideals and beliefs, the Supreme Leader General Secretary put forward the objective criterion of "four possibilities". He pointed out, "There are objective standards to measure whether a Communist party member and a leading cadre have lofty ideals of communism. It depends on whether he can adhere to the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, whether he can bear hardships first and enjoy later, whether he can work diligently and be honest, and whether he can work hard, struggle and give all his energy and even his life for his ideals." As for the firmness of ideals and beliefs, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader further put forward the standard of "six noes", which mainly depends on whether party member cadres can have political determination in the face of major political tests, whether they can establish a firm sense of purpose, whether they can be extremely responsible for their work, whether they can bear hardships first and enjoy them later, whether they can bravely shoulder heavy burdens in the face of urgent and dangerous tasks, and whether they can withstand the temptation of power, money and beauty. The criteria of "Four Musts" and "Six Musts" endow the firm ideals and beliefs with real connotations, and provide a practical yardstick for each Communist party member to test and reflect on his political consciousness, emotional attitude and behavior.

  Make up the "calcium" of the spirit of ideals and beliefs based on reality. With ideals and beliefs and objective standards to follow, it is not enough to ensure that ideals are always firm, beliefs are always persistent, and actions are always correct. Firm and persistent ideals and beliefs will not come into being spontaneously, but we should try our best to learn, believe, understand and do things all our lives. Only by making efforts to supplement the "calcium" of the spirit of ideals and beliefs based on reality can we cultivate a "indestructible body" that can stand firm, stand the test, resist corrosion and resist risks. The firmness of ideals and beliefs comes from the power of truth, which requires party member cadres to seriously study Marxist classics and systematically master the basic Marxist theories, standpoints and methods. To strengthen ideals and beliefs, we must also strengthen the cultivation of party spirit and constantly strengthen the "four consciousnesses." The firmness of ideals and beliefs will ultimately start with doing a good job in front of you.

 

  Democratic centralism is an important magic weapon to safeguard the unity and unity of the party.

  Xin Xiangyang, Vice President of Information and Information Research Institute of China Academy of Social Sciences

  Democratic centralism is the fundamental organizational system and leadership system of our party, the basic criterion for regulating political life and handling relations within the party, a scientific and effective system for ensuring the correct formulation and implementation of the party’s line, principles and policies, and an important magic weapon for safeguarding the party’s unity and unity.

  Democratic centralism ensures the unity of the will of the whole party and lays an ideological foundation for the unity and unity of the party. There are many factors that affect the unity and unity of the party, one of which is the ideological factor. Our party has always emphasized the principle and system of democratic centralism. With this principle and system, we can deny the party’s leadership, China’s socialist system and reform and opening up, violate, distort and deny the party’s basic line, distort, vilify and deny Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s words and deeds, distort, vilify and deny the party’s history, People’s Republic of China (PRC)’s history and the people’s army’s history, and distort, vilify and deny the party’s leaders and heroic models.

  Democratic centralism ensures the healthy development of political life within the party and provides basic norms for the unity and unity of the party. The "Several Guidelines on Inner-Party Political Life under the New Situation" adopted by the Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee pointed out: "In the long-term practice, our party has insisted on carrying out serious inner-party political life as an important task of party building, and formed the basic norms of inner-party political life with seeking truth from facts, integrating theory with practice, keeping close contact with the masses, criticizing and self-criticizing, democratic centralism and strict party discipline as the main contents." As the basic norm of inner-party political life, democratic centralism is conducive to unifying party member’s ideological understanding, solving some problems within the party and ensuring the healthy development of inner-party political life.

  Democratic centralism ensures the correct orientation of selecting and employing people within the party and lays a cadre foundation for the unity and unity of the party. The development of the party’s cause is inseparable from a grand cadre team, and the formation of this team is based on democratic centralism. Based on democratic centralism, our party can constantly select outstanding talents to the jobs it needs. As the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader said: "Our current cadre selection mechanism is also at the first level. For example, I have worked in the countryside, served as the party branch secretary of the brigade, and worked in counties, cities, provinces and the central government." The first-level selection mechanism makes the selection of cadres not only reflect the wishes of the people, but also stand the test of political life. Without democratic centralism, some cadres will believe in the "circle culture" of cliques and consider how to pull relationships and find ways. If we earnestly implement the requirements of democratic centralism, we can train a large number of good cadres with firm beliefs, serving the people, being diligent and pragmatic, daring to take responsibility, and being honest and clean.

  Practice has proved that democratic centralism is an important magic weapon to stimulate the creativity and vitality of the party and maintain the unity and unity of the party. We should adhere to the principle of democratic centralism to handle all kinds of relations within the Party, solve contradictions and problems within the Party, jointly safeguard unity based on the principle of party spirit, and ensure that the Party always keeps ahead of the times in the historical process of profound changes in the world situation, always becomes the backbone of the people throughout the country in the historical process of coping with various risks and tests at home and abroad, and always becomes a strong leadership core in the historical process of upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics.
