(Source: Party w88 casino of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China"TreeLihe practices the correct view of political performance and education”Special column 2026-02-25)
A political party that has ambitious goals and is determined to achieve great things for the Chinese nation through the ages must rely on its achievements to achieve long-term goals.
“The issue of the concept of political performance is a fundamental issue, related to establishing the party for the public and governing for the people.” For whom to establish political achievements, what kind of political achievements to establish, and what to rely on to establish political achievements are questions about the original intention and mission, as well as questions about the times and practice.
General Secretary Xi Jinping has always had profound thoughts and clear guidance regarding the concept of political performance, anchoring the fundamental purpose of benefiting the people, adhering to the basic path of truth-seeking and pragmatism, grasping scientific and accurate measurement scales, and advocating a clear direction of hard work and responsibility.
Recently, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the "Notice on Carrying out Study and Education on Establishing and Practicing the Correct View of Political Performance throughout the Party." The "Notice" pointed out that with the approval of the Party Central Committee, study and education on establishing and practicing a correct view of political performance should be carried out throughout the party.
“Insist on proceeding from reality, acting in accordance with laws, consciously achieving political achievements for the people, and achieving political achievements through hard work.”
In the first year of the “15th Five-Year Plan”, General Secretary Xi Jinping issued a call to encourage party members and cadres to further establish and practice a correct view of political performance, to work non-stop and devote themselves to the critical journey of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation.
(1) The way to do politics, often think about it - "Party spirit plays a decisive role in establishing and practicing a correct view of political performance"
In January 2026, the Central Party w88 casino held a special seminar for main leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels to study and implement the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee.
In the “first lesson” of the first year, General Secretary Xi Jinping clarified the far-reaching considerations for establishing and practicing a correct view of political performance in the new journey: “In the first year of the ‘15th Five-Year Plan’, whether planning or deployment implementation, it is necessary to have a correct view of political performance. The leadership teams of provinces, cities, counties and townships will be changed one after another, and it is also very targeted to emphasize the concept of political performance.”
General Secretary Xi Jinping took a closer look and profoundly analyzed the inherent nature of two different views on political performance——
“A correct view of political performance requires us to insist on proceeding from reality, acting in accordance with laws, and through scientific decision-making and hard work, to create achievements that can withstand the test of practice and history, truly benefit the people, and are recognized by the masses.”
“The wrong view of political performance is based on the interests of individuals or small groups, being impetuous, eager for quick success, committing fraud, blindly acting recklessly, and engaging in ‘image projects’ and ‘performance projects’, leaving behind baggage and hidden dangers and causing strong dissatisfaction among the people.”
Back in February 2004, Comrade Xi Jinping, who was in charge of the political party, participated in a special study class for major leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels at the Central Party w88 casino.
In his speech, Comrade Xi Jinping said that "the correct view of political performance guides us to correctly transform the subjective world" and analyzed and explained the problems that must be solved to establish a correct view of political performance. That year, he published articles one after another in the "Zhejiang News" column of Zhejiang Daily, clarifying the right and wrong standards and practical paths of the concept of political performance.
"Every one of our leading cadres must always think about 'why you joined the party, what you do as an "official", and what you leave behind." From the local to the central government, along the way, the inquiry and thinking about establishing and practicing a correct view of political performance have never stopped.
In the early 1990s, the Fujian Provincial Leadership Science Research Association invited Xi Jinping, then Secretary of the Ningde District Committee, to talk to young leading cadres about how to do their jobs well. An article called "Miscellaneous Talks on Politics" cited classics and was thought-provoking——
“In China’s thousands-year civilization history, there have been so many emperors and generals, but only about a hundred people have left memories in the minds of the people.” “Leaving a name in history is not essentially related to official rank, but to work.”
"Some people have been in office for decades, but are finally trapped by fame and fortune, or achieve nothing, or lose their reputation. The reason is that they have not established the correct purpose of being an official." "Being an official, an 'official' of the Communist Party, has only one purpose, which is to benefit the people."
Learning from the past and learning from the past, General Secretary Xi Jinping has always consciously reviewed the original intention of governing from the Marxist theory and the glorious history of the party, and is always good at drawing the wisdom of governing from the accumulated wisdom of Chinese civilization.
At the special democratic life meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, it was clearly emphasized that "everything we do should be for the people, without self, putting public before private, self-denial and serving the public" and "our core group of people should be a group of people with a spirit of dedication"; when presiding over the collective study of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, they listed ironic metaphysical stories such as "Zheng Ren buys shoes", "covers ears and steals bells", "rips off seedlings to encourage growth" and "adds superfluous things" and demanded that work policies be determined based on actual conditions.
In 2022, at the opening ceremony of the Youth Class of the Central Party w88 casino, facing young cadres, General Secretary Xi Jinping made a resounding assertion: "To create performance, we must solve the problem of who to create performance for, what kind of performance to create, and how to create performance, that is, we must solve the problem of the concept of political performance. In the final analysis, it is the party spirit that plays a decisive role in establishing and practicing a correct concept of political performance."
The century-old party history is impressive. In the Central Party w88 casino, on both sides of a huge stone standing on the square, the mottos of "seeking truth from facts" and "serving the people" are particularly eye-catching. On both sides of the campus, statues of Jiao Yulu and Gu Wenchang stand quietly, reflecting the unswerving original intention, the pursuit that does not change with circumstances, and the persistence that does not change with the times.
The years of taking root in the loess soil enabled the young Xi Jinping to "understand what reality is, what seeking truth from facts is, and what the masses are." Therefore, "If there are conditions and opportunities in the future, I will definitely enter politics and do something good for the people."
When working in politics, encourage yourself with the words "Don't aspire to be a high official, but be determined to do great things"; read "The People Call Jiao Yulu" at night, and write affectionately: "Serving as an official for one term will benefit the party and lead to smooth business."
Served as the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and accepted an exclusive interview with Russian TV. He expressed his feelings like this: "My governing philosophy can be summarized as: serving the people and taking on the responsibilities that should be borne."
Selfless people can be put into government. The concept of political performance is a concentrated expression of the world outlook, outlook on life, and values in political practice.
What is real political achievement?
“If we do things and work in a way that benefits the country at the top and the people at the bottom; meets the requirements of the country and the people’s immediate interests as well as the long-term interests of the country and the people; can not only promote economic and social development, but also promote the country’s prosperity and people’s happiness, then we have made real political achievements that the party and the people need.”
(2) Seeking truth from facts and respecting laws - "Carry out modernization construction in a down-to-earth and down-to-earth manner"
In November 2025, for the first local inspection after the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping set off southward and went deep into Hainan and Guangdong provinces.
Faced with the Hainan Free w88 Port’s imminent implementation of customs closure, General Secretary Xi Jinping warned: “We must keep our feet on the ground. There are inherent laws in everything we do. We must arrange the rhythm and progress of the opening in a scientific and orderly manner, proceed steadily and step by step, and strive to ‘leave it loose’ and ‘manage it well’.”
All political achievements must be rooted in the soil of "reality" and follow the principles of "laws". This is the inherent requirement of the Chinese Communists' spirit of seeking truth from facts.
Starting from reality requires a deep understanding of the actual situation.
Two stories about Comrade Xi Jinping when he was working in local areas still provide profound inspiration to people today——
When he took up the post of Secretary of the Ningde Prefectural Committee in Fujian Province, facing the eagerness of some local cadres to help people get rid of poverty and become rich quickly, Comrade Xi Jinping "did not put on a posture of burning "three fires"". Instead, he plunged into the grassroots and visited 9 counties in eastern Fujian in one month to observe the actual situation.
When he first came to work in Zhejiang, Comrade Xi Jinping was asked to talk about the "Political Program". He smiled and said: "I just came here and I don't have the right to speak yet. When the time comes, I will have something to say."
Why is the "new official" not eager to "light the fire"?
Comrade Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: "Whether the 'three fires' should be burned, and when is the appropriate time to burn them, all must be based on reality." "We must go deeper into the masses, do more research and research, understand the ins and outs of the matter, and then assess the situation, burn it when it should be burned, and never follow fashion and forcefully 'burn the fire' if it should not be burned."
As an official and in administration, if you answer the questions with papers in hand, you can only carefully examine the questions and solve them scientifically, "adhere to the specific analysis of specific problems, 'go into the mountains to ask for woodcutters, and go into the water to ask for fishermen', everything is based on time, place, and conditions."
In Zhengding, we proposed a "semi-urban" economic development path, in Fujian we advocated the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", in Zhejiang we coordinated urban and rural development and planned "tens of millions of projects", and in Shanghai we explored a new model of super-large city management... Achievements that can stand the test of history and practice are always based on "opening the way through research" and "starting from reality".
In December 2012, shortly after the conclusion of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Fuping County, Hebei Province, located deep in the Taihang Mountains, and visited villages and households to see the real poverty.
At that time, in some areas, there were still problems such as the number of poor people, unclear targets for poverty alleviation, and poverty alleviation funds being scattered, resulting in "poverty alleviation every year and every year".
After in-depth and detailed field research, General Secretary Xi Jinping prescribed "precise" prescriptions for poverty alleviation in response to existing problems, effectively guiding the fight against poverty.
From "finding the 'root cause' of poverty, prescribing the right medicine and targeted treatment" to promoting industrial revitalization "must think through the three words 'local specialty'"; from urban planning to "chopping firewood according to the pattern of the wind" to " Develop new productive forces in accordance with local conditions"... Only by grasping the actual situation can we avoid the "achievement impulse" of eager for quick success and instant benefit, and can we "make ideas, policies, and plans conform to the actual situation, objective laws, and scientific spirit."
When General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected Chongqing in April 2024, he compared "wowotou" and "fine noodles" to discuss the development of energy industries such as coal: "Eat a full stomach first and then eat well. We must be realistic and can neither slow down the pace of green and low-carbon development nor be too idealistic. We must first ensure energy supply."
“Eat a full stomach first and then eat well” contains the basic principle of gradual progress.
Principle is the law. "Leaders must have standards. Where does the level come from? The level comes from the understanding and mastery of objective laws." General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed the importance of understanding and mastering the laws.
Regarding the planning work of the capital Beijing, it is clearly reminded that "scientific planning is the greatest benefit, planning errors are the greatest waste, and planning tossing is the greatest taboo";
For the transformation and development of Shanxi, it is emphasized that it must be both "firm" and "orderly", "pay attention to the transition and connection of the conversion of old and new kinetic energy, replace the old with the new, proceed step by step, and do not rush forward in a rush, throwing away the food guy before the 'golden doll' can be picked up";
In view of the construction of the "City of the Future" Xiongan New Area, we warn that "every inch of land should be clearly planned before construction starts, so as not to leave any historical regrets";
…………
The sincere advice not only points out the epistemology, but also gives the methodology.
In the initial stage and the critical period, whether you can insist on doing things according to the rules and achieve steady steps while walking fast requires especially examining the concept of political performance.
Accelerate the construction of a new development pattern and promote high-quality development. Some cadres believe that development means launching projects, investing, and expanding scale; some use excessive debt for construction and blindly expand to pave the way for expansion; some methods are simple and crude, "one size fits all"; and some engage in departmentalism, enjoy great success, engage in fraud, and shirk responsibility...
General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly criticized the wrong view of political performance at important meetings, and clearly emphasized: "Don't have the urge to do things quickly, that is, you must not act according to the rules, be eager for quick success, and be eager to achieve results. We must suppress this impetuous mentality and impatience, and carry out modernization in a down-to-earth and down-to-earth manner."
Politicians are upright. Only when you have a correct view of political performance can you do things well.
Whether a correct view of political performance is established and practiced, what is the yardstick for measuring this?
"Have we deviated from the lofty ideals of communism and the common ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics? Have we deviated from the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly? Have we deviated from the party's line, principles, policies and major decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee? Have we deviated from the national conditions and the realities of this region and department?"
(3) Focus on the long term and base on the overall situation - "Success does not have to be mine, success must be mine"
In the last century, a local company in Fujian spent a huge amount of money to buy out the mining rights of Wanshou Rock in Sanming City. This prehistoric site, later known as the "Southern Zhoukoudian", once faced threats from excavators and explosives.
For a time, there was a lot of controversy. On the one hand, there are huge economic benefits that are difficult to give up, and on the other hand, they are important non-renewable remains. Faced with the dilemma, Xi Jinping, then acting governor of Fujian Province, made the final decision: “No individual or unit can destroy the interests of the whole society and future generations in order to seek immediate or local interests.”
The concept of political performance is the choice between the long-term and the present, the overall situation and the local situation. At both ends of the scale, you can see your vision, your concentration, and your responsibility.
Are you limited to the gains and losses of one moment, or are you focusing on laying a foundation and benefiting long-term results?
"You may be disappointed today. This discussion is not about development, but about protection." In January 2016, a symposium on promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt was held in Chongqing, and General Secretary Xi Jinping got straight to the point.
Taking a long-term view, General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: "At present and for a long period of time in the future, the restoration of the ecological environment of the Yangtze River must be placed in an overwhelming position, and we must work together to protect the Yangtze River and not engage in large-scale development." The Yangtze River is not only rolling in, but also deeper and broader than the river. It is the foresight of the Communists.
Since the new era, with the ambition of "contributing to the present and benefiting the future", we have carried out a series of pioneering work in the construction of ecological civilization; standing at the height of "laying roots and forging souls for national rejuvenation", we have promoted the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture; we have upheld the sobriety of jumping out of the "historical cycle rate" of the rise and fall of chaos, and deepened the comprehensive and strict governance of the party...
Everything, based on the present and looking at the long term, is to ensure the sustainable development of the Chinese nation and is the fundamental plan for building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation.
"We must persist in what we did yesterday, deepen what we did today, and achieve greater results tomorrow." We should not do frivolous things like eating grain and beating drums to spread flowers, but should be "willing to do preliminary work and grasp unfinished business."
In January 2015, at a symposium for students of the training class for county party secretaries at the Central Party w88 casino, General Secretary Xi Jinping told the story of sand control and afforestation in Youyu County, Shanxi.
“With a blueprint and a goal, the county committee led the county’s cadres and masses to work unremittingly one term after another, term after term”, turning the “barren land” into a “foreign oasis”.
This is a vivid embodiment of the long-term view of political achievements: "A good blueprint, as long as it is scientific, realistic, and meets the people's aspirations, must be carried out one after another like a relay race."
In October 2002, at a meeting of leading cadres in Zhejiang Province, facing the eager eyes of more than 500 cadres in the audience, Comrade Xi Jinping, who had just taken office, solemnly promised: "to draw a blueprint to the end and carry out one term after another" and "to run well in his 'one stick' in the 'relay race'."
In October 2025, the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China outlined China’s development blueprint for the next five years. A week later, during a foreign affairs visit, General Secretary Xi Jinping explained to the world the secret of China's success: "For more than 70 years, we have insisted on drawing a blueprint to the end, one step after another."
Managing a county, revitalizing a province, and governing a country requires perseverance in politics. "Prevent detours and overturning sesame cakes", "Don't change the king's flag at the top of the city", "Don't have the mentality of temporary workers", "Don't change everything every time the leadership changes", "Don't do something else just to show the so-called political achievements", but firmly shoulder the "solemn historical responsibility of the contemporary Chinese Communists".
Should they go their own ways and engage in protectionism and localism, or should they embrace the "greatest of the country" and have a firm thinking on the overall situation?
“Think about whether GDP is more important here or green water and green mountains. As a water conservation area, it is responsible for maximizing ecological functions, rather than deciding to build a factory, open a mine, and earn some GDP to live by yourself.” At a symposium in 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping talked about the importance of protecting the source of the Three Rivers, the “Chinese Water Tower.”
In 2024, during an inspection trip to Qinghai, General Secretary Xi Jinping affirmed the local efforts to "build the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau into a highland of ecological civilization", pointed out that "this is your greatest contribution", and warned that "we must focus on the overall development of the country" and "must insist on doing something and not doing something."
All localities and departments are in the same field. Only by "always paying attention to what the Party Central Committee is concerned about and emphasizing, and deeply understanding what are the most important interests of the party and the country and what are the positions that need to be firmly safeguarded" can we find the correct star for governance.
When conducting local surveys, General Secretary Xi Jinping often keeps maps at hand and urges local governments to “consciously break their own mindset of ‘one acre and three sections of land’ and work together as a team towards the goal of top-level design.”
In Guizhou, the local area is required to actively integrate into the construction of a national unified market and "resolutely eliminate local protection, market segmentation, and 'involution' competition"; it is obsessed with protecting the tropical rainforest in Hainan and emphasizes "the need to go beyond Hainan." Look at this work"; for the development of Xinjiang, it encouraged "to incorporate Xinjiang's own regional opening strategy into the country's overall layout of opening to the west"; in Inner Mongolia, it was pointed out that "making the country's important energy base bigger and stronger is the top priority for the development of Inner Mongolia"...
In the way of government, those who get the big can take the small.
This is the code of action for officers to start a business: "Planning and promoting the work of this region and this department must be based on the premise of implementing the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee, and carry out work creatively, so as to bring glory to one region and to the overall situation."
This is the value orientation for fulfilling one's duties: "Be more concerned with big calculations and big accounts, and less with small calculations and small accounts." "In fact, it is about handling the relationship between the big self and the small self, the relationship between long-term interests, fundamental interests, and personal ambitions and personal interests."
"Success does not have to be mine, success must be mine."
(4) The foundation of political achievements lies in serving the people - "Communists must remember that benefiting the people is the greatest political achievement"
In October 2024, during his inspection in Fujian, General Secretary Xi Jinping made a special trip to the Gu Wenchang Memorial Hall to review the touching deeds of Comrade Gu Wenchang.
General Secretary Xi Jinping said affectionately: "The key to measuring the performance of cadres is to see how good their reputation is among the people. Leading cadres at all levels must learn from Comrade Gu Wenchang, establish a correct view of political performance, serve as an official for one term, benefit one party, work hard, work hard for a long time, and establish a monument in the hearts of the people."
When working at the local level, Comrade Xi Jinping told the comrades around him many times about Gu Wenchang’s story, saying, “The reason why Gu Wenchang has always been respected by the broad masses of cadres and the masses is because he did not pursue bombing when he was in office. "Significant achievements" with great vigor, but dedication in obscurity. "This kind of 'potential achievement' is the greatest 'revealed achievement'. The gold cup and silver cup we often talk about are not as good as the reputation of the people; the gold and silver awards are not as good as the praise of the people. This is the truth."
The question of why people is the primary issue in the concept of political performance, tests the governing purpose of a political party, and determines the fundamental direction of entrepreneurship.
In 1982, Comrade Xi Jinping went to Zhengding to work. During the investigation, we learned that due to the heavy burden of food procurement, some local farmers did not have enough rations, so they had to secretly go to other counties to exchange for dried sweet potatoes.
“We Zhengding would rather not have the title of ‘national high-yield county’, but also let the masses live a good life.” Comrade Xi Jinping withstood the pressure and insisted on reporting problems to his superiors. After investigation, the state’s procurement volume decreased by 28 million kilograms, or 36.8%. There were fewer dried sweet potatoes and more white flour steamed buns on people’s tables.
“Don’t be an ‘official’ if you don’t care about the people.” “Don’t ask how big the ‘official’ is, but be worthy of the people.” “Whether the policies formulated by the Party Central Committee are good or not depends on whether the villagers cry or laugh.”… The supremacy of the people has always been the most distinctive background in General Secretary Xi Jinping’s political practice.
Serving the people wholeheartedly.
In "Zhijiang News", Comrade Xi Jinping once lamented: "Leading cadres are busy all year round, but their fundamental purpose is to serve the people."
In the spring of 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the home of villager Wang Deli in Maozhushan Village, Guilin, Guangxi.
"General Secretary, you are usually so busy and come to see us. Thank you very much." The simple villager said sincerely.
General Secretary Xi Jinping’s answer is heart-warming: “I am busy with these things, and the ‘greatest country’ is the happy life of the people.”
For party members and cadres, personal time and energy are always limited. How to better benefit the people tests the stance and wisdom of the government.
“In reality, there are indeed some cadres who are very enthusiastic about doing practical things for the people, but the things they do are not necessarily what the people need most, are most welcome, and can get the most benefits.” General Secretary Xi Jinping once pointedly pointed out, “There are short-term interests and long-term interests, local interests and overall interests, etc., but there are also problems that do not fully reflect the people-oriented concept and the correct view of political performance.”
The key to governance is to calm the people, and the way to calm the people is to observe their sufferings.
More than 30 years ago, while serving in the mountainous area of Eastern Fujian, the poorest region in Fujian, Comrade Xi Jinping clearly emphasized:
“Supporting economic development and helping the people get rich is a good and practical thing; promoting social righteousness, cracking down on bad apples, enriching people’s spare time life, creating a good social environment, civilization, harmony, harmony, and stability are also It is a real thing and a good thing. It is a real thing and a good thing to solve the people's needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation, life, old age, illness and death; even small things such as light bulbs and soap, which are not available to people in remote mountains, are also a real thing and a good thing to be cared for and solved by us."
People’s livelihood is no small matter, and the branches and leaves are always related to feelings. “Wherever there are people’s needs, good things can be done and achievements can be created.”
In November 2012, the newly elected General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, Xi Jinping, met with Chinese and foreign journalists. He said, "The people's yearning for a better life is our goal", which became the most resounding oath of the Chinese Communists in the new era.
For more than ten years, small livelihood issues such as garbage classification, nursing home service quality, and livestock and poultry breeding waste disposal have become topics of important meetings in Zhongnanhai; absolute poverty, which some people believe cannot be eradicated, has been historically solved on the land of China; the process of common prosperity continues to take new steps with the attitude of "cannot wait, and cannot rush"...
Don’t turn a blind eye just because it’s small, don’t shrink back because the task is arduous, and don’t be passive because the goal is long-term.
The foundation of political achievements lies in serving the people. Whether political performance is good or not, the people have the most say.
General Secretary Xi Jinping has a clear-cut stance: “Whether life is happy or not depends on the people themselves. It’s not up to us to say it with joy but the people have no feeling. It means we are not focusing on the right place. “We must resolutely put an end to all forms of formalism and bureaucracy, and we must not do stupid things that just want to please the leaders and disappoint the masses. ”
Political performance is not only defined by cold numbers. "Whether the people have truly benefited, whether the people's lives have truly been improved, and whether the people's rights and interests have been truly protected" is the most critical criterion for testing political performance——
The Spring Festival couplets that encourage poor people to cut off their roots of poverty and leave their old homes in Fujian, benefiting farmers to "create a new world, and be grateful to the Party for their blessings" are the most sincere evaluations;
We braved the wind and snow to visit the villagers in Shenshan Village, Jiangxi Province. When faced with General Secretary Xi Jinping, the villagers blurted out "You are good," showing their deepest love for the people's leader;
The concept of "targeted poverty alleviation" has given a new look to Shibadong Village, a Miao village in the mountains of western Hunan. The villagers who are living a good life named their daughter "Sien", which is the most simple tribute to the leader of the new era...
Guangji Tower stands majestically beside the thousand-year-old Guangji Bridge in Chaozhou, Guangdong.
In October 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping, who was inspecting Guangdong, climbed to the Guangji Tower and contemplated in the distance.
The local responsible comrades introduced to the General Secretary: For thousands of years, Guangji Bridge has been “helping the people of Guangdong”, but it is the Communist Party of China that truly realizes this long-cherished wish and allows the people to live and work in peace and contentment.
General Secretary Xi Jinping said meaningfully: "Every era must do its own things. Do it well or do it badly, make big contributions or make small contributions. This is a lesson from history! Communists must do good things for the people."
(5) Seek truth and be pragmatic, work hard - "Strive to create new achievements worthy of the times"
In December 2025, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee held a meeting on democratic life. General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over the meeting and delivered an important speech.
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “Comrades of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee must set a good example for party spirit and style, and take the lead and set an example for the entire party in terms of belief, pragmatism, responsibility, and self-discipline.” “Communists are materialists, and pragmatism is an essential character. They must seek truth from facts, be pragmatic, and work hard.”
In February 2026, on the eve of the Spring Festival, when General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected Beijing, he once again warned: "The '15th Five-Year Plan' has begun, and leadership teams at all levels are enthusiastic and motivated. This is good. The key is that the concept of political performance must be correct." First. We must guide party members and cadres, especially leading cadres, to deeply understand the importance of establishing and practicing a correct view of political performance for the development of the party and the country and party building, deeply identify and correct deviations in the view of political performance, and strive to create achievements that can stand the test of practice, the people, and history.”
It is important to be good at politics and "govern with reality".
When working in Zhengding, Comrade Xi Jinping clearly stated requirements at the county party committee working meeting that "there must be a breakthrough change in leadership style and work style" and "we must establish a realistic spirit, do practical things, seek practical results, and work hard with real swords and guns."
In 1990, in the article "Revelation from Drops of Water Penetrating Stone", Comrade Xi Jinping wrote:
“What we need is hard work that is based on reality and long-term goals in mind, rather than being unwilling to be lonely and ambitious; what we need is a spirit of hard work step by step, and we do not need the speculative mentality of new officials who only burn three fires in the hope of success; what we need is perseverance and perseverance, but do not need the laxity of ‘three days to fish, two days to dry the net’.”
Empty talk will harm the country, but hard work will make it prosperous.
Since the new era, General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly explained the dialectical relationship between "speaking" and "doing", "knowing" and "doing", and established a clear direction that "achievement is achieved by hard work, and only by hard work can real achievements and real achievements be achieved."
Achievements can be achieved by hard work, and only by hard work can we be at the forefront.
“To carry out thematic education, we must use the effectiveness of solving practical problems as a criterion. Change as soon as you know and act immediately. You cannot delay or deal with it in vain.” In July 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected Inner Mongolia and guided the launch of the theme education of “Don’t forget the original intention, keep the mission in mind”, guiding the majority of party members to solve the “two skins” problem of “returning to learning and doing to doing”.
Insist on being pragmatic in planning, starting a business, and being a person, deeply rooting the value pursuit of being pragmatic and honest for the people in thoughts and actions, highlighting the practical orientation, being practical and practical, and striving for practical results... Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, education has been concentrated within the party, and the requirements of "application of knowledge" and "integration of knowledge and action" have been throughout.
“With less formalism and more practical work, there will be fewer conflicts and more achievements.”
General Secretary Xi Jinping has made clear criticisms on many occasions regarding distortions and misalignment of political performance views such as deception, overestimation of achievements, all talk but no practice, and extravagant efforts. He educates and guides the majority of party members and cadres to calm down and work hard, "one step at a time, and move forward steadily."
Achieve political achievements through hard work, and show true character and responsibility in the face of difficulties.
"The party's main evaluation of cadres is whether they can bear heavy loads on their shoulders and whether they can be overloaded." "We should be a man and an official for one term, and we must have courage and a spirit of responsibility." "Wearing a black gauze hat to be an official" "'Being an official and avoiding trouble will be a lifelong shame. ' Taking on big and small responsibilities reflects the cadre's mind, courage, and style."... Standing up at critical moments and being able to carry your head at critical moments reflects the view of political performance and demonstrates the party spirit and style.
Since the new era, we have won the battle against poverty with the determination that "no one can be left behind", promoted the battle against pollution with the persistence of "holding firm on the green hills and never let go", carried out the reform to the end with the courage of "dare to chew hard bones and dare to venture into dangerous shoals", and carried out the unprecedented anti-corruption struggle with the mission of "offending hundreds of people and living up to 1.4 billion people"...
General Secretary Xi Jinping has always led the whole party in a great struggle with many new historical characteristics with a great spirit of historical initiative, inspiring the majority of party members and cadres to straighten their backbones and charge forward, to withstand risks and challenges, and to create new situations in facing problems and solving problems.
Creating excellent performance with excellent style requires not only the hard work and responsibility of cadres, but also the protection of the organization.
In response to the concerns of some party members and cadres that "the more dishes they wash, the more they are thrown" and the phenomenon in some places that "the capable work more and the mediocre are free" and "do more but do less", General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly stated that party organizations at all levels must take a clear attitude to assume responsibility for those in charge, be responsible for those in charge, and support those who do things.
Establish correct guidance for selecting and employing people, put political standards first, and clearly require that "for those cadres who are courageous, capable, adhere to principles, are not afraid of offending others, and have distinctive personalities...the organization must speak fair words for them";
Focus on giving full play to the role of the assessment baton, promote "improving the high-quality development assessment system and cadre performance assessment and evaluation system", and improve the working mechanism to effectively prevent and correct deviations in performance views;
The implementation of "three distinctions" requires "fully mobilizing the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of party members, cadres and officials to start a business, and focusing on solving the problems of cadres' random actions, inaction, dare not act, and bad behavior";
To reduce the burden on the grassroots and empower them, emphasizing that “powers and responsibilities must be clarified, everything cannot be left to the grassroots, what tasks should be undertaken by the grassroots, and responsibilities must be clarified”;
…………
Clearly put forward the standards of good cadres in the new era of "firm belief, serving the people, being diligent and pragmatic, daring to take responsibility, and being honest and honest", and promote the creation of a good environment conducive to cadres and entrepreneurship. General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized the combination of strict management and love, guiding the healthy growth of the cadre team, and providing a strong guarantee for the prosperity of the party's cause.
To be committed to extraordinary causes, you must have extraordinary spirit.
In October 1936, after the arduous 25,000-mile Long March, the three main forces of the Red Army successfully joined forces, tempering the reborn Communist Party of China and thus opening a magnificent new picture of the Chinese revolution.
Today, 90 years later, Chinese-style modernization has unfolded a magnificent picture and presented an extremely bright and brilliant prospect.
In the face of many "snowy mountains" and "grasslands" that still need to be crossed, and "Loushanguan" and "Lazikou" that still need to be conquered, General Secretary Xi Jinping's earnest warnings are inspiring——
“All thoughts that are greedy for comfort and are unwilling to continue to work hard are unacceptable, and all thoughts that are proud and complacent and unwilling to continue to pioneer and move forward are unacceptable.”
The new journey is the new long march. In the new era, Chinese Communists have firm confidence, work hard, insist on establishing and practicing a correct view of political performance, always be with the people, always forge ahead at the forefront of the times, and will surely create new historical achievements with new great struggles.
