How to understand the advancement of national governance modernization

What does it mean to promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity?

First, it means that the advantages of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics will be better transformed into effectiveness in managing the country.

China's unique cultural traditions, unique historical destiny, and unique basic national conditions predestine us to take a path of development that suits our own characteristics and to build a national system with our own characteristics. The socialist system with Chinese characteristics, rooted in the fertile soil of Chinese culture, reflecting the will of the Chinese people, and adapting to the requirements of development and progress in China and in the times, has a deep historical origin and a broad practical foundation, as well as its own distinctive features and remarkable advantages.

We have the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the democratic centralism practiced by the CPC and the State, the national system of concentrating on major issues, the strong social mobilization and organizational capacity of the CPC and the government, and the mutual assistance and collaboration mechanism of the whole country. Party leadership is the core of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics. To promote the modernization of national governance, the advantages of our system must not be denied or discarded, but on the contrary, the superiority of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics should be better utilized, and the advantages of the system in all aspects should be better transformed into the effectiveness of the management of the country.

Secondly, it means that our country will further get rid of the influence of the traditional rule of man society, and stride towards a modern society governed by the rule of law.

The rule of law is the basic way of governance in modern countries. Promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity will enable China to truly realize the transition from a traditional rule of man society to a modern society governed by the rule of law, which will be a more far-reaching historic transition.

Thirdly, it means that we will build up a systematic, complete, scientific, standardized and effective institutional system, so as to make all aspects of the system more mature and stereotypical, and make greater contributions to the institutional civilization of human society. Institutional civilization, like material, spiritual and ecological civilization, is one of the basic forms of human civilization. The development and improvement of the socialist system is a long-term historical process.

In promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, we must adapt to the development and changes of the times, not only reform the institutional mechanisms, laws and regulations that do not meet the requirements of practical development, but also continuously build new ones, not only actively draw on the beneficial achievements of human institutional civilization, but also never copy the institutional models of other countries, and strive to make the systems in all aspects more scientific, more perfect and more mature, We are striving to make all aspects of the system more scientific, more perfect, more mature and more stereotyped, and to realize the institutionalization, standardization and proceduralization of the governance of the Party, the State and all social affairs.

In sum, improving and developing the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity are for the sake of the country's long-term stability.

I. What is the national governance system and governance capacity?

What we mean by national governance is that the Party leads the people to manage state affairs, economic and cultural endeavors, and social affairs in accordance with the law and through various ways and forms.

What we mean by the system of national governance is the system that ensures that the Party leads the people to govern the country effectively. It includes the system of people's congresses, the fundamental political system that guarantees that the people are the masters of their own house, the basic political systems such as the political consultation system, the system of regional national autonomy, and the system of grass-roots self-governance under the leadership of the CPC, the legal system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the basic economic system in which the public system is the main body of the country and a wide range of ownership systems are developed together, as well as the systems in the fields of economy, politics, culture, society, ecological civilization, and Party building. The basic economic system, as well as the institutional mechanisms, laws and regulations in various fields such as economy, politics, culture, society, ecological civilization and Party building. These constitute a set of closely linked and coordinated national systems, and are the basic foundation for the Party's leadership of the people in governing the country.

What we call national governance capacity is the ability to use the national system to manage state and social affairs, the economy and cultural undertakings, that is, the capacity to implement the system. This ability is embodied in various aspects of reform, development and stability, internal affairs, foreign affairs, diplomacy and national defense, as well as the governance of the Party, the country and the military. The key to the ability to govern is the quality of people, especially the quality of cadres. The key to improving the ability to govern is to comprehensively improve the quality of people's ideology and morality and the quality of science and culture, especially the construction of high-quality cadres to meet the requirements of modernization.

What is the national governance system and governance capacity?

National governance system = system that ensures that the Party leads the people to govern the country effectively = basic political system + socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics + basic economic system + other (institutional mechanisms, laws and regulations in various fields, such as economy, politics, culture, society, ecological civilization, and Party construction)

National governance capacity = system implementation = ability to carry out reforms, development, and stabilization + capacity to govern Internal affairs, diplomacy and national defense capacity + the ability to govern the Party, the country and the military, etc.

The organic unity of the Party's leadership, the people's sovereignty, and the rule of the country in accordance with the law is a fundamental principle that must be adhered to in the governance of the country.

The rule of law is the basic way of governing the country, and more attention must be paid to giving full play to the important role of the rule of law in national governance, safeguarding the unity, dignity and authority of the country's legal system, and ensuring that the people enjoy a wide range of rights and freedoms in accordance with the law.
