Why is it said that "governing the country must first govern the party, the party must be strict"?

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "the key to doing a good job in China lies in the Party." The party's ruling position and the historical mission, requires us to govern the country must first govern the party, the party must be strict. The party should control the party, strict governance, is our party's fine tradition and valuable experience, is our party's consistent policy, is the new historical conditions to maintain the party's advancement and purity of the inevitable choice.

Adhering to the bottom line of the law can not be violated. The bottom line is the cornerstone of being a man, is the minimum guidelines for dealing with the world, is the implementation of the inevitable requirements of the overall strict governance of the Party, but also the objective need for party members to protect their political life. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Leaders and cadres at all levels should bear in mind that no one has absolute power outside the law, and anyone exercising power must serve the people, be accountable to the people and consciously accept the supervision of the people. To strengthen the supervision of a hand, seriously implement the democratic centralism, improve governance behavior open system, to ensure that leading cadres to do not arrogate to themselves the power of the high, the power of the heavy not to seek personal gain." Party members and cadres to do things, must adhere to the legal bottom line. Everyone has an invisible bottom line in their hearts, and constrains people's behavior from time to time. Party members and cadres must bear in mind that the legal red line can not be crossed, the legal bottom line can not be touched, consciously respect for the rule of law, the fear of the law into the rule of law when planning the work of the rule of law thinking, dealing with the problem of the rule of law, to do under the rule of law, rather than the rule of law outside the rule of law, and even more so above the rule of law to think about the problem, decision-making, and do things. Party discipline and state law can not become "rubber mud" "straw man", violation of discipline and law should be prosecuted. Party members and cadres should be clear about the legal bottom line, enhance the awareness of law and discipline, take the lead in learning the law, master the law, learn to use the rule of law to deal with the problem, only always fear the law, bearing in mind that "the power under the law", in order to be scrupulous, do not take the power instead of the law, words instead of the law, in order to be able to hold the legal bottom line of the people do things.

Insist that the bottom line of discipline can not be stepped on. Do qualified party members, should adhere to high standards, strictly abide by the bottom line of discipline. For every party member and cadres, discipline, rules should become a habit, internalized in the heart, externalized in the line. To keep the bottom line of discipline, the first thing is to keep the bottom line of political discipline. Party rules and regulations embody the purpose of the party, both party members and cadres can not cross the bottom line, but also the ruler of the party. To keep the bottom line of discipline, we must put the discipline and rules in front, fundamentally solve the problem of "dare not" "can not". The party constitution, party rules, party discipline is the specific embodiment of the party's ideals, beliefs and purposes, but also the code of conduct and code of conduct for all party members. Keep the bottom line is to adhere to the inevitable requirements of the high line, the party's discipline and rules do not recognize, firm ideals and beliefs purpose will become an empty word. Party members and cadres should always be politically sober and firm, in the major issues on the flag, stand the test, resolutely implement the party's line policy and resolutions and decisions, in the ideological and political action to maintain a high degree of consistency with the CPC Central Committee; to firm ideals and beliefs, to strengthen the party's temperament, give full play to the role of role model, consciously practicing the norms of cleanliness and self-discipline, to maintain and develop the party's fine tradition and style, and to keep the * * * * Producers clean and honest political color. Party members and cadres should apply party discipline and party rules to internal plastic spirit, external strong bones, so that the discipline norms internalized in the heart, externalized in the line, adhere to the ideals, beliefs, purposes, "high line", and resolutely put an end to the phenomenon of not doing what is ordered, prohibited. To put the discipline in front of the embodiment of daily supervision and management, the use of good supervision and discipline of the "four forms", so that biting the ear and pulling the sleeve, red face and sweat become the norm, the party disciplinary punishment and organizational adjustments become the majority of serious violations of discipline, heavy punishment, made major job adjustments to become a minority of serious violations of discipline suspected of violating the law to become a minority of the review of the case, to strengthen the atmosphere of not dare, to know stop. Continuously strengthen the atmosphere of dare not, know stop, so that discipline and rules become the inner conviction of the party members, the whole party's behavior consciously, and strive to create a good political ecology.

Adhering to the moral bottom line can not be exceeded. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "the so-called official morality, that is, political morality, is a comprehensive reflection of the political virtues of the official politicians, including ideological and political and moral style and other aspects of the quality." Virtue is the basis of the official, for the official first repair virtue. Therefore, party members and cadres should strengthen the ideological and moral cultivation, pay attention to cultivate a healthy lifestyle, the correct choice of personal hobbies, careful treatment of interpersonal interactions, so as to distinguish between right and wrong, self-restraint and prudent behavior. Today's society, more opportunities, more traps, more benefits, more temptations, holding power and special status of the leading cadres at all levels are prone to become a variety of ulterior motives "hunting" object. Some leading cadres, before stepping into the door of corruption to produce metamorphosis, the vast majority of the roots are good, some or the so-called "root red seedling" of the second generation of the red, but with the promotion of the position, the power to increase, in the sugar-coated shells of the attack and the power, money, fame, color, the temptation, the bottom line of morality began to fall, the greed of the human desire to begin to expand, from the beginning of the fear of becoming the first to the temptation, and then to the "red". At the beginning of the fear into a peace of mind, from passive reception to active demand, unknowingly broke the "bottom line" hit the "red line", and ultimately become a "horse". Do people talk about character, for the official heavy official morality. Moral defense and discipline line, is the lifeline of party cadres, guard the lifeline to guard the future. Since the 18th Party Congress, the central investigation and prosecution of disciplinary cases show that: there are no special citizens before the law, there are no special party members before the discipline. According to the rules of the party, the party to rule by virtue, party rules and discipline is the party, the party, the party, the construction of the party's important "magic weapon", only with the times, and constantly improve, in order to provide institutional guarantee for the party to manage the party, strict governance of the party. Party cadres, is the backbone of the party's cause, is the people's public servants, should always be self-centered, always keep in mind that they are public servants. To strengthen the ideals and beliefs of education, replenish the spirit of the "calcium", enhance their own ability to cultivate and resist all kinds of crookedness, and strive to create a good political life _, deep into the masses to add gas, away from the hustle and bustle of the quit vulgarity, not to serve the thing, not to be seduced by the profit, not to be trapped in selfishness, not to be disturbed by personal fame and fortune, and to do a person in a pure and innocent way, do things in a clean way, with absolute loyalty to the Party, and to do things in the name of the Party, to do things in the name of the Party. Doing things, with absolute loyalty to the party's determination to adhere to the moral bottom line of a *** party member.
