General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed at the National Conference on Propaganda and Ideological Work that socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and it is necessary to unify thinking and gather forces as the central link of propaganda and ideological work. State-owned enterprises are an important force in promoting national modernization and safeguarding the common interests of the people. The development and growth of state-owned enterprises cannot be separated from the effective guarantee of ideological and political work. State-owned enterprises should regard ideological and political work as regular and basic work, exert efforts from the three aspects of persisting in jointly grasping and managing the party and the government, persisting in pragmatic innovation, and persisting in strictly administering the party, and explore an effective path for doing a good job in the ideological and political work of state-owned enterprises.

First, persisting in the joint grasping and joint management of the party and the government is a prerequisite for consolidating the foundation of ideological and political work. Ideological and political work is the fine tradition and political superiority of state-owned enterprises and a powerful guarantee for the reform, development, and stability of state-owned enterprises. The ideological and political work in state-owned enterprises is a systematic project that requires the active participation of all party and government departments to form a joint force. Under the current situation, it is necessary to give full play to the role of party organizations in state-owned enterprises as the political core, scientifically allocate resources for ideological and political work, integrate ideological and political work with work in the fields of production and operation, logistical support, enterprise culture construction, and management services, and form a pattern of major political work in which party committees exercise unified leadership, the party and the government are jointly responsible, and the party and government work groups grasp and manage together, with the contingent of full-time and part-time political work cadres as the backbone and the broad participation of the masses of staff and workers as the characteristics. In this process, it is necessary not only to persist in centering on the center, rallying people's hearts and minds, and striving to find the integration point between ideological and political work and central work, but also adhere to the people-oriented, strengthen ideological guidance, strategic guidance, and action guidance, and earnestly grasp and manage together through the party and government, and do their duty, so as to form a pattern of ideological and political work that is carried out in an all-round way, followed up in the whole process, and fully participated.

Second, adhering to pragmatic innovation is an important factor in enhancing the effectiveness of ideological and political work. Whether or not we make practical moves and do practical things in ideological and political work has a direct bearing on whether ideological and political work can provide spiritual impetus for the development of enterprises, and even more determines the actual results of ideological and political work in enterprises. Therefore, party organizations must adhere to the ideology of party management, closely focus on the central tasks, production and operation, and the masses of workers, and enhance the "three kinds of consciousness." The first is to focus on the central task and enhance the sense of responsibility. Party organizations at all levels must closely integrate ideological and political work with the central tasks of enterprises, determine the overall line of thought, work priorities, and practical measures for ideological and political work on the basis of the central tasks, and give play to the due role of ideological and political work before decision-making, implementation, and penetration into management. The second is to focus on production and operation and enhance the awareness of guidance. Ideological and political work should be integrated with production and operation, focus on key and difficult issues, enhance the targeted and practical results of work, earnestly channel the emotions of staff and workers, stimulate the enthusiasm of staff and workers, and pave the way and build bridges for the smooth progress of production and operation work. The third is to focus on the masses of workers and enhance the sense of service. Grassroots workers work in the front line of production and operation, which plays a very important role in completing production tasks and business objectives. It is necessary to put the solution of the problems of the thinking, work, and life of the staff and workers in the same important position as doing a good job in production and operation; we must also care about their thinking and their work and life; through innovating service forms, enriching service content, and enhancing service functions, we must solve the most realistic, most concerned, and most direct problems in the work life of the staff and workers, and earnestly do a good job in serving the masses of staff and workers.

Third, persisting in administering the party strictly is the fundamental guarantee for giving play to the advantages of ideological and political work. Upholding the party's leadership and strengthening party building are the "roots" and "souls" of state-owned enterprises. To strengthen ideological and political work, state-owned enterprises must persist in administering the party strictly, grasp the implementation of responsibilities, and raise the scientific level of party organization building in enterprises, so as to promote the development of ideological and political work. First, we should pay close attention to the responsibility of comprehensively and strictly administering the party as the Party committees at all levels must assume and properly implement the main responsibility of comprehensively and strictly administering the party, and members of leading bodies and leading cadres at all levels must perform "one post and two responsibilities" and ensure that they are clear, fulfill, and fulfill their responsibilities. It is necessary to attach great importance to the establishment of rules and regulations, persist in combining goal-oriented and problem-oriented, persist in attaching equal importance to formulation and implementation, and ensure that the requirements of strictly administering the party run through the entire process of production and operation decision-making. The second is to pay close attention to the two responsibilities of improving the party's work style and building a clean and honest government. Implement the responsibility system for the construction of party style and clean government, party committees bear the main responsibility, and discipline inspection commissions bear the responsibility for supervision. Party committees at all levels must shoulder their own responsibilities, shoulder their burdens, and perform their duties well. The Discipline Inspection Commission should properly implement its supervisory responsibilities, create a complete chain, and ensure that every link is effectively in place. The third is to pay close attention to integration into the production and operation system and mechanism. Only by starting with mechanisms and combining with production and operation can party building work release maximum effectiveness. It is necessary to integrate the party's leadership into all aspects of corporate governance, embed enterprise party organizations into the corporate governance structure, and expand the effect of party building work and enhance the influence of ideological and political work by improving the leadership mechanism, management mechanism, and innovation mechanism.
