A few days ago, when General Secretary Xi Jinping participated in the deliberations of the Jiangsu delegation at the Fourth Session of the 14th National People's Congress, he emphasized that it is necessary to conscientiously organize and carry out learning and education on establishing and practicing a correct view of political performance, guide party members and cadres to implement the general requirements of "building the party for the public, benefiting the people, scientific decision-making, and hard work" to create achievements that can stand the test of practice, the people, and history. At the critical juncture of the start of the "15th Five-Year Plan", the Party Central Committee has deployed learning and education throughout the party to establish and practice a correct view of political performance, which is of great significance to advancing the cause of the party and the country and promoting comprehensive and strict governance of the party. We must fully implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important exposition on establishing and practicing a correct view of political performance, firmly grasp the general requirements of learning and education, deeply understand the far-reaching strategic considerations of the Party Central Committee in carrying out learning and education, and complete this learning and education task with high standards and high quality.

The general requirement of “building the party for the public good, benefiting the people, making scientific decisions, and working hard” has profound implications for the times

The issue of the concept of political performance is a fundamental issue, related to building a party for the public and governing for the people. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized the need to establish and implement a correct view of political performance. He has recently emphasized this in many important speeches, pointing out the direction and providing important guidelines for the development of study and education. This study and education takes "building the party for the public good, benefiting the people, scientific decision-making, and hard work" as the general requirements. It deeply reflects General Secretary Xi Jinping's consistent thinking on establishing and practicing a correct view of political performance, and highlights the advanced attributes and characteristics of our party as a Marxist political party. Serving the people embodies a profound grasp of the inherent laws of governing the party in the new era, reveals the requirements of the times for all party members and cadres to continue their struggle, pioneering and innovation in the new journey and new mission, and plays an important guiding role in comprehensively and deeply grasping the essence of the correct view of political performance.

A vivid expression of unswervingly fulfilling the party’s original mission. Our party takes Marxism as its foundation, the realization of communism as its highest ideal, and serving the people wholeheartedly as its fundamental purpose. For more than 100 years, our party has always kept in mind its original mission of seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It has fought bloody battles, fought successively, worked in unity, pioneered and innovated, and constantly created new glories for the party's cause and created new achievements that satisfy the people. "Establishing the party for the public good, benefiting the people, making scientific decisions, and working hard" answers the question of the foothold and starting point of all party members, cadres, and officials to start their own businesses. It is a scientific summary and vivid expression of the party's more than 100 years of struggle and practice. The new journey is an expedition full of glory and dreams. To comprehensively promote the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese-style modernization, more risks and challenges need to be overcome, and more thorny problems need to be solved. Learning and education should be carried out closely around the general requirements of "building the party for the public, benefiting the people, making scientific decisions, and working hard", which can enable Party members and cadres should better adhere to their original aspiration and mission in the face of new challenges, always maintain the purity of their advanced nature, faithfully implement the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, uphold scientific and realistic thinking methods and working methods, maintain a good style of work, and create achievements that are worthy of the Party, the people, and the times.

Inspiration from the experience of persevering in promoting comprehensive and strict governance of the party. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has promoted comprehensive and strict governance of the party with unprecedented determination and intensity. It has adhered to the party spirit, party style and party discipline, improved work style, strict discipline and anti-corruption. It has promoted the simultaneous investigation and treatment of corruption and corruption, and has integrated the world view, outlook on life, values, power, political achievements and career outlook of party members and cadres, and achieved its own leaps in continuous innovation, integrity and innovation. "Establishing the party for the public good, benefiting the people, making scientific decisions, and working hard" covers the foundation of party spirit, the source of values, the expression of party style, the key to the mass line, the guarantee of party discipline, and the orientation of clean officials. It is a scientific summary of practical experience in managing and governing the party in the new era. To promote comprehensive and strict governance of the party in the new journey, we must keep a close eye on the correct view of political performance, focus on the general requirements of "building the party for the public, benefiting the people, scientific decision-making, and practical work", cultivate the correct view of political performance of party members and cadres, and temper the party spirit from this fundamental basis With an eye on consolidating and expanding the achievements of the Party's work style construction, we encourage Party members and cadres to further tighten the clockwork of Party spirit, style, and Party discipline, gather the wisdom and power of clean and bold officials, and inspire the spirit of changing styles, forging ahead, and striving to be the first.

The new journey leads all party members and cadres to the practical requirements of creating excellent performance. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Party opened a new chapter in promoting Chinese-style modernization during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period. To implement the strategic deployment of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Party and ensure that decisive progress is made in basically realizing socialist modernization, we must have a correct view of political performance as the basis. We must educate and guide leading cadres at all levels to persist in achieving political achievements for the people, to achieve political achievements through hard work, to consciously act in accordance with the rules, not to engage in quick success and quick gain, to engage in fraud, and to put an end to new officials who ignore old accounts and "image projects" and "performance projects." This study and education takes "building the party for the public, benefiting the people, scientific decision-making, and hard work" as the general requirements, which fully embodies the new journey's direction guidance for party members and cadres "for whom to establish political achievements, what kind of political achievements to establish, and what to rely on to achieve political achievements." Only by always having the Party at heart and being loyal to the Party, remembering to achieve political achievements for the people, caring about the welfare of the people, persisting in scientific decision-making, being responsible to the superiors and fulfilling the responsibilities to the subordinates, and maintaining the execution ability of working hard and paying close attention to implementation can we effectively prevent blind decisions. In the first year of the "15th Five-Year Plan", we must establish a correct outlook on performance and truly implement the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee, implement the cause of benefiting the people in a practical and detailed manner, and answer the questionnaire on high-quality development well.

The general requirement of “building the party for the public good, benefiting the people, making scientific decisions, and working hard” is a concentrated summary of the correct view of political performance

The general requirements are specific standards and action guidelines for learning and education to achieve the established goals. They are an important guarantee for the correct direction, precise efforts, and clear paths of learning and education. The Party Central Committee clearly requires that we must deeply understand, accurately grasp, and fully implement the general requirements of "building the party for the public, benefiting the people, scientific decision-making, and practical work" and run it through all aspects of the entire learning and education process. We must deeply understand the deployment requirements of the Party Central Committee, comprehensively understand the rich connotation and internal logic of the general requirements, further clarify the direction, focus on the bull's-eye, highlight the key points, and improve the scientific nature and pertinence of learning and education planning and organization.

Establishing the party for the public good is the concept and principle of the correct view of political performance. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Party spirit plays a decisive role in establishing and practicing a correct view of political performance. Only by having a strong party spirit and abandoning selfish distractions can we ensure that the view of political performance is not biased." The fundamental yardstick for measuring the strength of party spirit is the two characters of public and private. Our party is a Marxist party with communism as its lofty ideal, represents the fundamental interests of the vast majority of the Chinese people, and adheres to the governing philosophy of building the party for the public good and governing for the people. As party members and cadres, we must persist in building the party for the public and establish a correct view of political performance. No matter what position we are in or what work we undertake, we must keep in mind our ideals, beliefs and original mission, adhere to selflessness, distinguish between public and private, put public before private, and forget about self. Only when one is dedicated to serving the public good and does everything out of the public spirit can one have a correct view of right and wrong, justice and interests, power, and career, and can the party's cause and the interests of the people be at heart, be magnanimous, be cautious in doing things, be open and aboveboard, and achieve excellent political achievements.

Benefiting the people is the fundamental purpose of a correct view of political performance. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "Communists must keep in mind that benefiting the people is the greatest political achievement" and "we must consciously be selfless contributors who are committed to benefiting the people, always put the people at the highest position in their hearts, establish and practice a correct view of political achievements, follow the party's mass line in the new era, improve their ability to do mass work, solve the urgent, difficult and anxious problems of the masses with heart and soul, and continuously enhance the people's sense of gain, happiness and security." These important discussions profoundly clarify the important issue of "for whom political achievements are made." All the party's work is for the interests of the people, and making the people happy is the party's most important cause. The organization and the people have given corresponding positions and powers to party members and cadres. In the final analysis, they should be used to serve the people, observe the people's sentiments and resolve their concerns. Benefiting the people is the party's aspiration, responsibility, people's expectation, and development needs. It is the fundamental criterion for whether the concept of political performance is correct or not. Chinese-style modernization puts people’s livelihood first. To firmly establish the concept of political performance that benefits the people, we must adhere to the supremacy of the people, strengthen the consciousness of public servants and feelings for the people, insist on serving one term as an official and benefiting one party, starting from the people in the most need, starting from the most prominent problems, and proceeding from the most realistic interests, effectively solving the difficulties at the grassroots level and the troubles of the people, ensuring and improving people's livelihood in the process of development, and establishing the monument of political achievements in the hearts of the people.

Scientific decision-making is an important criterion for a correct view of political performance. Decision-making is the basic responsibility of politicians, and whether the decision-making is scientific or not has a huge impact on the party's cause. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The correct view of political performance requires us to insist on proceeding from reality, acting in accordance with the rules, and through scientific decision-making and hard work, creating achievements that can stand the test of practice and history, truly benefit the people, and are recognized by the masses." Economic and social development is a systematic project involving many factors, and must comprehensively consider politics and economy, reality and history, material and culture, development and security, resources and ecology, international and domestic factors. Promoting high-quality development is the theme of economic and social development during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period. High-quality development should be regarded as an important part of the performance view of leading cadres. We should attach great importance to scientific decision-making, adhere to the complete, accurate and comprehensive implementation of the new development concept, and properly handle the issues of stability and progress, establishment and breakthrough, virtual and real, standard and basic, and near-term. and long-term relationships, pursue high-quality, sustainable, people-friendly, and long-term development, make ideas, plans, and plans consistent with the spirit of the central government, objective laws, and scientific requirements, prevent deviations from deviations, divorce from reality, impatience, and lose sight of others, and constantly consolidate the foundation for high-quality development.

Practice and hard work are the practical guidance of a correct view of political performance. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Achievements are all achieved by hard work, and only by hard work can we achieve real achievements and achieve real results." Realizing socialist modernization is a historical process of step-by-step progress and continuous development and progress. The key to implementing the clear strategic deployment of the "15th Five-Year Plan" is to work hard, focus on hard work, be pragmatic, seek practical results, and achieve political achievements that satisfy the party and the people. It is necessary to establish a sense of service to the people and a spirit of responsibility, maintain the spiritual realm of "success does not have to be mine" and the historical responsibility of "success must be mine", overcome impetuous emotions, abandon selfish thoughts, maintain the strength to grasp truly, the strength to dare to grasp, the skill to grasp, and the tenacity to grasp often, insist on telling the truth, observing the truth, and reporting the truth. , have the courage to overcome difficulties, dare to confront the toughest, stick to a blueprint to the end, work one step at a time, pursue real development, water-free development, development that combines speed, quality and efficiency, do good things well, do practical things, and constantly create achievements that can withstand the test of practice, the people and history.

The general requirement of “building the party for the public good, benefiting the people, making scientific decisions, and working hard” must run through the entire process of learning and education

This study and education is an important deployment made by the Party Central Committee focusing on the overall development of the party and the country's cause. It is of great and far-reaching significance for promoting the "15th Five-Year Plan" to get off to a good start and to provide a strong guarantee for comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese-style modernization. We must deeply understand the great significance and deployment arrangements of learning and education, implement the general requirements of "building the party for the public, benefiting the people, making scientific decisions, and working hard" into all aspects of the entire learning and education process, improve our political position, shoulder political responsibilities, and implement implementation to ensure that learning and education achieves the expected results.

Work hard on "deep learning". Only by learning deeply can we believe and practice. It is necessary to highlight the link of theoretical study, organize party members and cadres to deeply study General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions on establishing and implementing a correct view of political performance, deeply study the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and deeply study the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speeches and important instructions on this region, department and field, further strengthen the concept of building a party for the public and benefiting the people, clarify the requirements for scientific decision-making and practical implementation, so as to know what is said and what it means, and what is happening and why. It is necessary to deepen the understanding and grasp based on the actual work situation, especially the negative cases that have appeared in recent years, to deepen the understanding of the importance of establishing and practicing a correct view of political performance, and to deepen the understanding of the practical harm of violating the general requirements of "building the party for the public, benefiting the people, scientific decision-making, and hard work", participating in learning and education with a clear political consciousness, and constantly improving the actual effect of theoretical learning and ideological education.

Work hard on "real investigation". The key to establishing and practicing a correct view of political performance lies in the word "true". On the one hand, we must adhere to a problem orientation. Through supervision and inspection, investigation and research, understanding the feedback of the masses, etc., we will conduct in-depth research and grasp the cognitive level and cognitive bias of party members and cadres on the concept of political performance, and deeply search for problems in the concept of political performance. We will find gaps in the party spirit, investigate the root causes, strengthen self-cultivation, strive to avoid formalism, and work hard on practical learning, practical work, and actual results. On the other hand, efforts should be made to promote the work. Closely focus on the implementation of the "15th Five-Year Plan" tasks and key tasks in this region and department, and adhere to the combination of learning and education with the central inspection and rectification, in-depth implementation of the eight central regulations of the Central Committee, the preparation and implementation of the "15th Five-Year Plan", and ecological and environmental protection inspection and rectification, etc., making it a powerful starting point to promote the high-quality implementation of the plan, promote the central work, and do practical things for the benefit of the people, so that party members and cadres can enhance their awareness, temper their party spirit, and improve their style in learning and education.

Work hard on "strict reform". The formation of the concept of political performance is not a day's work. Establishing and practicing a correct concept of political performance must not only be checked from the position, but also modified in thinking and work practice. It is necessary to change from the ideological point of view, attach great importance to the issue of party members and cadres' performance views, insist on consolidating the party spirit and cultivating talents, make great efforts to eliminate the influence of selfish distractions and incorrect performance views, break the "hidden rules", and cultivate a sense of purpose, loyalty and character, and a sense of the masses, so that the process of learning and education becomes a process of ideological purification. It is necessary to change the work style. Party members and cadres, especially leading cadres, must take the lead in being public-spirited, putting aside selfish thoughts, and being strict in self-discipline. They must be strict in self-cultivation, power utilization, and self-discipline. They must be practical in planning, starting a business, and being a person. They must take the lead in opposing and eliminating formalism and bureaucracy. They must persist in open-door education, investigate and solve problems, listen to the opinions of the masses, accept supervision by the masses for rectification, and accept the judgment of the masses for testing results. Do more practical things for the masses, so that they can be felt and felt by the masses. It is necessary to start from the institutional reform, be based on the current situation, take a long-term view, establish rules and regulations, and thoroughly search for the provisions in the current system and mechanism that do not meet the requirements of the correct view of political performance. We must abolish those that should be abolished and revise those that should be revised. We must effectively eliminate "old customs" and establish "new regulations", and use strict systems to promote the correct concept of political performance to become a common practice.
