Scientifically grasp the major issues about the party's self-revolution

Why does our Party need to carry out self-reform?

Self-revolution is an inevitable requirement for maintaining the Party's advanced nature and purity. The advanced nature and purity are the essential attributes of a Marxist party, but these are not naturally formed nor are they permanent; they are forged through continuous self-revolution. Marx and Engels pointed out, "The class that overthrows the ruling class can only rid itself of all the old filth and be competent in rebuilding society through revolution." Lenin believed, "The vanguard must not be afraid of self-education and self-reform, must not be afraid to openly admit its lack of cultivation and capability," and "must not be afraid to admit its mistakes and make repeated efforts to correct them, thus we will reach the summit." Comrade Mao Zedong once reminded the entire Party with a vivid metaphor: "A house should be cleaned regularly, or it will accumulate dust; a face should be washed regularly, or it will become dusty. The thoughts of our comrades and the work of our Party can also get dusty and should be cleaned and washed." Our Party does not live in a vacuum; there are always factors that weaken the Party's advanced nature and harm its purity, and viruses that erode the Party's health are everywhere. We must face and resolve the contradictions and problems within the Party with the spirit of self-revolution. In the course of over a hundred years of struggle, the Party has led the people to achieve one great success after another, overcome one difficulty after another, and remains vigorous despite numerous trials, winning the support and endorsement of the people. This is because the Party dares to face its own problems, is brave in self-revolution, always maintains its advanced nature and purity, continuously enhances its creativity, cohesion, and combat effectiveness, and forever preserves the true character of a Marxist party. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, facing major risks and challenges and prominent problems within the Party, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has turned the blade inward, treated severe illnesses with strong medicine, and governed chaos with strict laws. The comprehensive strict governance of the Party has achieved remarkable results, making the Party stronger and more powerful through revolutionary forging, significantly enhancing the Party's political leadership, ideological guidance, mass organization, and social appeal. At the same time, our Party is clearly aware that some deep-seated problems within the Party have not been fundamentally resolved, the possibility of some old problems rebounding always exists, and new problems are constantly emerging. The "four major tests" and "four dangers" that the Party faces will persist for a long time. Under new historical conditions, to preserve the true character of the Party as a Marxist party, the key still lies with our Party itself. Only by carrying out the great self-revolution of the Party to the end, continuously removing impurities, eliminating viruses, and preventing pollution, can we preserve the Party's advanced nature and purity, ensuring that the Party never changes its quality, color, or taste.

Why Our Party Can Undertake Self-Reform

Self-revolution is akin to performing surgery on oneself with a scalpel, an extremely painful and arduous process. Across the globe, no political party has approached its own development with the same level of seriousness and dedication as the Communist Party of China, nor has any party so consciously and systematically advanced self-revolution with a scientific attitude. Many long-established and major parties around the world have attempted to reform themselves, but they either failed to see their efforts through to the end or lost their way during the process, even leading to their downfall. Why has the Communist Party of China been able to consistently uphold and successfully advance its self-revolution?

Disciplinary inspection and supervision commissions at all levels are closely monitoring the implementation of agricultural support policies and the distribution of agricultural subsidies. They are organizing disciplinary inspection and supervision officials to go deep into rural households and fields, listening to the voices and opinions of the people, and collecting problem clues.

Our Party has accumulated a wealth of experience in self-revolution through long-term historical practice. The greatness of our Party lies not in the absence of mistakes, but in the courage to face problems head-on and to undertake self-revolution without shying away from addressing our shortcomings. For instance, ideologically, we have adhered to the truth and corrected errors, including rectifying Chen Duxiu's rightist opportunist mistakes after the failure of the Great Revolution, correcting the "leftist" adventurist and "leftist" blind action mistakes during the Agrarian Revolutionary War, and thoroughly rectifying errors during the Yan'an period.
