Commentator on Qiushi Network: Building a Strong Ideological Defense Line and Guarding the Bottom Line of Integrity for Cadres | Gateway | Qiushi
"Integrity is the foundation of government."
"It is necessary to promote the style of integrity, educate leading cadres at all levels to firmly establish a correct concept of power, comprehensively find out the risk points of integrity, build a strong ideological line of defense, and adhere to the red line of law and discipline." On June 8, 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping made a profound explanation of the righteousness of learning during an inspection in Inner Mongolia, emphasizing the need to improve relevant systems, strictly enforce discipline, and build guardrails in accordance with the requirements of the "three non-corruption.
In this important article, General Secretary reiterated this requirement, emphasizing that young cadres should "remember it in their hearts, always self evaluate and reflect, and strictly abide by discipline, laws and regulations.".
The most important thing is to hold onto one's inner self. Only with fear in the heart can one speak with caution and act with restraint.Holding onto one's inner self is the key to understanding. The General Secretary used a thought-provoking confession letter from the investigated and punished cadres as an example, emphasizing that young cadres should "diligently sweep away the dust of their thoughts, think more about the harm caused by greed, and constantly break through the 'thieves in their hearts', without any reckless thoughts within and ensuring no reckless actions outside.".
Starting from small details. A stitch in time saves nine. A person's transformation often starts with eating, drinking, and playing.
Build defenses layer by layer and everywhere. Nowadays, society is very complex, with intertwined interests and various temptations and tests.One is to "hold onto the political barrier". General Secretary emphasized that "political discipline and rules are the most fundamental and important in the discipline and rules of the Party", and demanded that young cadres "always maintain a clear political stance, be particularly clear headed and firm in the face of major issues of right and wrong, and on political principle issues, never engage in double dealing, never trade with the Party's principles, and never engage in the" Seven Haves "system.". The second is to "hold onto the power barrier". Power is a double-edged sword. The General Secretary demanded that young cadres "always maintain a sense of awe towards power, adhere to the principles of fair, lawful, civil, and clean use of power," and emphasized that "public power should not be turned into a tool for seeking personal or interest groups or" small circles "for personal gain, and should not be the spokesperson or agent of any interest group, power group, or privileged class.". The third is to "maintain communication barriers". Cadres do not live in a vacuum, and necessary interpersonal communication is inevitable. The General Secretary emphasized that "communication must have principles and rules, install a 'firewall' and 'filter' on oneself, and continuously purify social circles, life circles, and friend circles.". The fourth is to "hold onto the threshold of life". The General Secretary demanded that young cadres "cultivate a healthy temperament, advocate a simple life, have a determination to be 'unjust yet rich and noble, like floating clouds to me', and maintain their true nature as Communist Party members.". The fifth is to "hold onto the bond of family". Family conduct is closely related to the Party and government conduct. General Secretary demanded that Party members and cadres "strictly educate themselves on family conduct, not only lead by example, but also pay close attention to and manage their relatives and children diligently, resolutely prevent them from using their own banner to gain privileges and personal interests, and resolutely prevent them from being" hunted "and exploited.".
Good cadres are selected, and even more so, they are managed; Strict management is kindness, and it is truly responsible and caring for cadres.He particularly emphasized that "the more key cadres are selected, the more important they should be managed, and the more potential cadres need to be trained, the more strict the requirements must be, and they must not be selected at once.".
