The article emphasizes that deepening the reform of party and state institutions is an important measure to implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and a concentrated deployment to promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. Continuing to promote the reform of the Party and state institutions aims to promote the Party's leadership in socialist modernization construction to be more scientific in institutional settings, more optimized in job function allocation, more perfect in institutional mechanisms, and more efficient in operational management. The reform of party and state institutions is a complex and systematic project that cannot be achieved overnight, nor can it be achieved once and for all. It requires continuous adjustment and optimization of the functional system of party and state institutions according to new missions, strategic arrangements, and work needs, so as to better adapt to the development needs of the party and state industry.

This institutional reform aims to establish a new decision-making and coordinating body of the Party Central Committee, establish new functional departments and administrative agencies of the Party Central Committee, and establish new dispatched agencies of the Party Central Committee in important areas, in order to leverage advantages, address weaknesses, and strengthen the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee over major work. At the same time, reasonable designs and arrangements have been made for institutional settings and responsibility allocation in areas such as financial management system, technology management system, and social management system. These adjustments are proposed solutions based on the analysis of the deep-seated contradictions and problems we face.

Under the leadership of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, the Central Committee for Comprehensive Deepening of Reform takes the lead in grasping the overall situation, strengthening overall coordination, and establishing a coordination mechanism. Secondly, we must adhere to a stable tone. This institutional reform involves multiple departments and involves deeper issues, which require planning before action. The reform of central and local institutions should be organically linked and orderly promoted in terms of work deployment and organizational implementation.

We should guide Party members and cadres to speak politically, consider the overall situation, abide by rules, correctly handle the adjustment of interest patterns and personal advancement, actively support reform, and consciously obey organizational arrangements. Strictly enforce discipline. Departments involved in institutional changes and responsibility adjustments should consciously obey the overall situation and ensure that institutions, responsibilities, personnel, etc. are adjusted in a timely manner according to requirements. Five must be based on the law.
