The Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held its 19th collective study session on the afternoon of the 24th. Hu Jintao delivered a speech while presiding over the study. He pointed out that building the party's advanced nature is a fundamental issue related to the survival and development of a Marxist party and a fundamental task for the Marxist party's own construction. If our party must always maintain its advanced nature, it must adapt to the development of the times and the requirements of the people, consciously, proactively, and continuously promote the construction of advanced nature, and strive to make all the party's theories and work reflect the times, grasp regularities, and be creative, so that our party can always keep pace with the development of the times and share the same destiny with the people.

Hu Jintao emphasized that the fundamental purpose of strengthening the party's advanced nature is to enable our party to always represent the development requirements of China's advanced productive forces, represent the direction of China's advanced culture, and represent the fundamental interests of the vast majority of the Chinese people, constantly improve its ability to govern, consolidate its position in power, and complete its mission of governance. The requirements for advanced nature construction must be integrated into all aspects of the new great project of party building, and be comprehensively promoted from the party's ideological construction, organizational construction, style construction and system construction. We must persist in arming the whole party with Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of "Three Represents", and guide all party members to firmly believe in communist ideals and socialism with Chinese characteristics. It is necessary to uphold and improve democratic centralism, strive to build leadership groups at all levels into a strong and united leadership collective, and effectively build the party's grassroots organizations into organizers, promoters and practitioners of the important thought of "Three Represents". We must persist in building the party for the public good and governing for the people, keep in mind the "two musts", promote a truth-seeking and pragmatic style, and always maintain flesh-and-blood ties with the people. It is necessary to establish and improve an intra-party democratic system that fully reflects the wishes of party members and party organizations, give full play to the enthusiasm and initiative of the majority of party members and grassroots party organizations in participating in intra-party affairs, and continuously implement the requirements of strict requirements, strict education, strict management, and strict supervision from an institutional perspective.

Hu Jintao pointed out that strengthening the party's advanced nature must be closely integrated with strengthening the party's governance capacity, and implement it to improve the level of governing the party, the country, and the military. We must firmly establish and fully implement the Scientific Outlook on Development, earnestly focus on development, the party's top priority in governing and rejuvenating the country, develop socialist democratic politics, develop socialist culture, and continuously promote coordinated economic and social development and comprehensive human progress. We must adhere to the concrete and in-depth implementation of building the party for the public and governing for the people in all work, always keeping the safety and security of the people in mind, effectively helping the people solve the difficulties in production and life, and resolutely opposing and correcting all kinds of behaviors that harm the interests of the people.

Hu Jintao emphasized that carrying out educational activities throughout the party to maintain the advanced nature of Communist Party members is an important measure to maintain the party’s advanced nature. Party organizations at all levels must deeply understand the significance of carrying out this educational activity, and earnestly grasp this important matter, do it well, and achieve practical results. Through this educational activity, we must strive to achieve a new improvement in the ideological understanding of the party's advanced nature construction, make new progress in solving outstanding problems existing in some party members and party organizations, and practical issues that affect the reform, development, stability, and involve the vital interests of the people. We must adhere to the party's policy of managing the party and strictly governing the party, and establish a long-term working mechanism for the majority of party members to receive long-term education and maintain advanced nature under the new situation, and further push forward the party's advanced nature construction.
