Qin Panbo: Deeply Grasping the Multidimensional Logic Theme of "Political Three Forces" | Features | Politics

The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China also emphasizes strengthening the political construction of the Party, improving the political judgment, understanding, and execution abilities of Party organizations and Party members and cadres at all levels. This important statement contains multiple dimensions of logical relationships: from an internal logic perspective, the connotation dimension of political ability is further refined into political judgment, political comprehension, and political execution, thus effectively constituting the "three political forces". From an external logic perspective, the requirements of the "three political forces" cover two important dimensions: party organizations at all levels and party members and cadres. To effectively fulfill political responsibilities and maintain the political nature of Communist Party members, it is necessary to deeply grasp the multidimensional logic of the "three political forces" and continuously improve political capabilities.

Deeply understand the theoretical logic of the "three political forces". Political theory innovates with the development of political practice. The theoretical logic of the "Three Forces of Politics" is not only a vivid reflection of the development of the Party's political construction theory, but also a concrete manifestation of the rich and perfect system of cadres' quality and ability, and a vivid embodiment of the innovation of socialist democratic political theory with Chinese characteristics. From the introduction of the concept of political ability to its further evolution into the concept of "political three forces", it is not only a creative transformation and practical application of the political qualities and consciousness of party members and cadres in terms of ability, but also an effective integration of political ability into the capacity system of party members and cadres.The "three forces of politics" require attention to institutional factors, individual and group factors, cultural and psychological factors, and practical situational factors in politics, which is conducive to enriching the theoretical system of political ability. Political ability is the comprehensive result of the development of political system, construction of political civilization, influence of political culture, and vivid political practice in theoretical innovation. The "Three Forces of Politics" refers to the precision, enrichment, and systematization of political ability, which reflects theoretical innovation in enriching the scientific connotation of political ability, improving the constituent elements of political ability, and improving the measurement index system of political ability. At the same time, the theoretical logic of the "three political forces" also reflects the typical sample theme of "Chinese characteristics", reflects the theoretical innovation of telling the "Chinese story" well, and improves the theoretical system of enriching "Chinese wisdom".

Deepen the understanding of the historical logic of the "three political forces". The "three political forces" have distinct characteristics of the times and are a systematic construction in response to the requirements of the era of political ability. Cultivating political ability is an important part of the party spirit and ability quality training for party members and cadres in the new era. It is necessary to prioritize the political construction of the party, inherit and promote the fundamental requirement of "having a clear political stance" as a Marxist political party.Compared to traditional terms such as political quality and political consciousness, new terms such as political ability and its "three political forces" have distinct characteristics of the new era, reflecting the requirements of the political construction of the Party and the quality and ability construction of Party members and cadres in the new era. The term "political three forces" responds to the questions of the times, meets the needs of the times, and meets the typical problems and practical paths of building a cadre team and exercising party spirit in the new era. It reflects the progressive and innovative concept of comprehensive and strict governance of the party. Improving the "three political forces" of party members and cadres is an inevitable requirement for the great struggle with many new historical characteristics in the new era, for the comprehensive promotion of the new great project of party building in the new era, and for the promotion of the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

Thoroughly understand the value logic of the "three political forces". Political ability is the primary ability that party members and cadres should possess in the new era.Our party's requirements for party members and cadres are primarily political, and political standards are the primary criterion for measuring party members and cadres. The selection and appointment of cadres by party organizations first depends on whether the cadres are politically clear and firm, and ultimately on whether their political abilities are strong. So, when it comes to the quality of cadres, the most important thing is political quality; When it comes to leadership ability, political ability comes first. The most essential feature of the CPC is to take a clear stand in politics. Speaking of politics requires improving political judgment, political comprehension, and political execution. The value logic of "political three forces" is embodied in progressiveness, high standards and strict requirements. It is not dispensable, not first, not less. Political judgment is conducive to distinguishing political right from wrong, defending against political risks, and standing firm in political positions. Political comprehension is conducive to strengthening political learning, understanding political propositions, and enhancing overall awareness. Political execution is conducive to maintaining central authority, implementing central spirit, and implementing specific measures. The "three political forces" require a comprehensive, holistic, and systematic understanding and grasp of their value logic.

Deeply apply the practical logic of the "three political forces". Practice is the source of theory, and applying the "three political forces" to practice, guiding practice, and leading practice is the fundamental political responsibility and political responsibility of party members and cadres. Whether one can correctly understand the "three political forces", accurately grasp them, and accurately practice them are important indicators of the strength of political ability. The practical logic of the "three forces of politics" is reflected in the fact that political ability needs to be tested and applied through the practice of political behavior. We must always maintain a high degree of consistency with the central government, firmly support the "two consolidations", resolutely uphold the "two safeguards", be politically honest and understanding, and not be politically double-minded. To practice the "three political forces", we need to improve our political judgment on the "great change not seen in a century", enhance our political understanding of the "big man of the country", and promote the political implementation of the "Chinese path to modernization".To achieve a more firm political ideal, clarify political direction, consider the overall political situation, abide by political discipline, stand firm in political stance, and strengthen political experience. The practical logic of the "three political forces" is also reflected in finding an improvement path that conforms to the characteristics and job positions of cadres at all levels, and building a cadre team that is politically strong, adaptable to the requirements of the new era, and has the ability to lead modernization construction.

The multi-dimensional logic of the "three political forces" constitutes a system. Theoretical logic should use advanced theories to guide and enrich political abilities, historical logic should use historical observation and interpretation of political abilities, value logic should use value significance to empower political abilities, and practical logic should use practice to test and apply political abilities. In terms of the external logic of the "three political forces", party organizations and party members and cadres at all levels have a logical relationship between the whole and the individual, as well as between the general and the specific. In terms of the inherent logic of the "three political forces", political judgment is the starting point and premise, political comprehension is the focus and foundation, and political execution is the foothold and foundation.
