Always maintain a firm consciousness of turning the blade inward
The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Party emphasized the need to uphold the spirit of reform and strict standards in managing and governing the Party, and to improve the institutional norms for the Party's self-revolution. Since the new era, the Party Central Committee, with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, has resolutely advanced comprehensive and strict governance of the Party by turning the knife inward, making the Party stronger and more effective through revolutionary transformation. The broad masses of Party members and cadres must deeply implement the spirit of the plenary session, always maintaining a firm and conscious attitude of turning the knife inward, and promoting comprehensive and strict governance of the Party to develop in depth with higher standards and stricter discipline.
The inward-facing blade reflects the historical consciousness of our Party's constant awareness of potential dangers. By constantly reflecting on challenges, we can remain proactive. Today, while the life-and-death trials of blood and fire from the war era are fewer, the great struggles with many new historical characteristics continue. Factors that weaken the Party's advanced nature and purity are ever-present, and viruses that erode the Party's health are everywhere. If not strictly guarded against and regularly cleaned, political dust will accumulate over time, leading to insurmountable problems. Therefore, the Party's self-revolution must be carried through to the end, gathering powerful positive energy to clear away corruption and promote integrity, ensuring the Party remains unblemished, unstained, and untainted. Party members are the cells of the Party's body; they must always be mindful of the Party's concerns and take responsibility for it. Facing "forbidden zones," they must know reverence, hold fear, and adhere to the bottom line, using the Party Constitution, regulations, and discipline to constrain their every word and action, maintaining a clean and honest approach to both personal conduct and professional duties.
