General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "Grassroots party organizations are the 'last mile' to implement the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee, and we must adhere to the clear orientation of grasping the grassroots." Contemporary China is experiencing the most grand and unique practical innovation in human history, the heavy tasks of reform, development, and stability, the number of contradictions, risks, and challenges, the tests of governing the country are unprecedented, and the profound changes in the world that have not occurred in a hundred years are unprecedented. In the face of the new situation, new tasks, and new requirements, we must further enhance the ability of grass-roots party organizations to lead grass-roots governance, and build grass-roots party organizations in all fields into a strong fighting fortress for realizing the party's leadership.
Strengthen theoretical armament and comprehensively enhance centripetal force. Things are in the quartet, in the center. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: "To uphold the leadership of the Party, first of all, to uphold the authority of the Party Central Committee and centralized and unified leadership, this is the highest principle of Party leadership, and it cannot be ambiguous or shaken at any time and under any circumstances." "Grassroots party organizations play a fighting fortress role in publicizing the party's propositions, implementing the party's decisions, leading grassroots governance, uniting and mobilizing the masses, and promoting reform and development, and must take the clear banner of stressing politics as a fundamental requirement, base themselves on their own reality, deeply study and implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era, educate and guide the majority of party members and cadres to enhance the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four self-confidences", achieve "two safeguards", continuously strengthen political ability training and political practice experience, and effectively improve political judgment. Political understanding and political execution, so as to share worries for the party, fulfill responsibilities for the country, and dedicate themselves to the people. We should unremittingly open up the "compulsory course" of party history, consciously grasp and apply the party's historical experience in a century of struggle, consolidate and expand the results of party history study and education, educate and guide grass-roots party members and cadres to firmly establish a correct view of party history, carry forward the great spirit of party building, draw wisdom and strength from the party's century-old struggle, profoundly understand why the CPC can, why Marxism works, and why socialism with Chinese characteristics is good, so as to build a socialist modern power in an all-round way. Achieving the second centenary goal provides a strong ideological guarantee and strong spiritual strength.
Focus on precise governance and focus on improving organizational strength. The organizational ability of grass-roots party organizations is not strong, and grasping the implementation of major tasks is the touchstone and the whetstone. An important aspect of improving the ability of grass-roots party organizations to lead grass-roots governance lies in building a pattern of joint construction and sharing of urban and rural grass-roots governance with unified leadership of party organizations, active coordination of various types of organizations, and extensive participation of the broad masses, giving full play to the party's advantages in mass work and the exemplary role of party members as vanguards, highlighting the accuracy and effectiveness of grass-roots governance, exploring and innovating ways and carriers for party building to lead grass-roots governance, and transforming the advantages and vitality of party building work into the efficiency and motivation of grass-roots governance. We should earnestly give play to the leading role of grass-roots party organizations in implementing the major strategies and major work of the party Central Committee. Grassroots governance is a complex system project, which requires the use of systematic thinking, the analysis of all aspects of work, and the overall planning. We should improve the mechanism for the masses of the masses under the leadership of grass-roots party organizations, pay close attention to the characteristics of the development and changes of grass-roots political power organizations, economic organizations, autonomous organizations, mass organizations, and social organizations, strengthen guidance and management, and enable all kinds of grass-roots organizations to set up according to their needs, perform their duties according to their duties, have people to handle affairs, and have rules and regulations, not only plant their own land and manage the responsibility fields well, but also sing well the heroes of the masses and play the joint card, so as to form and strengthen the joint force of party building and the work of leading grass-roots governance. Only in this way can we find the focus of party building in leading grass-roots governance, and unite party members, the masses and all kinds of organizations under the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
Based on the needs of the masses, effectively improve service capabilities. Grassroots party members and cadres must take root among the masses, directly face the masses, link up with the masses, and serve the masses; they must have a thorough understanding of the people-centered thinking on development, adhere to the correct outlook on political achievements, respect history, culture, and ecology, make prudent policy decisions, prudently use power, regard serving the masses and benefiting the masses as the starting point and foothold of grass-roots governance, regard doing things for the people and bringing benefits to the people as the most important political achievements, and regard how many good and factual things have been done for the common people as an important criterion for testing political achievements. Establish and improve a long-term mechanism for serving the people, and properly solve the worries, worries, and worries of the masses. Make full use of the important platform of the Party and Mass Service Center, smooth the channels for handling basic public service matters such as employment, medical treatment, enrollment, and social security that involve the vital interests of the masses, open up the "last kilometer" of serving the masses, think of what the masses think, be anxious about what the masses are anxious about, and solve the difficulties of the masses, and include water, electricity, gas, communication and heating, and day care for the elderly, which are closely related to the daily life of the masses, into the scope of services. Proceeding from reality, we should further strengthen the awareness of problems, adhere to the problem orientation, start from the most difficult masses, grasp the most prominent problems, and proceed from the most realistic interests, take more accurate and effective measures to solve the most direct and realistic interest problems that the people are most concerned about, and accelerate the completion of shortcomings in the field of people's livelihood through targeted efforts and precise policies, so as to better meet the people's growing needs for a better life at a higher level.
Strengthen the contingent of cadres and always maintain strong combat effectiveness. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The key to whether the community is well governed or not lies in the grass-roots party organizations and the majority of party members, and it is necessary to build the grass-roots party organizations as a fighting fortress stronger and give play to the exemplary role of party members and cadres in the community." Only when the party's organizations at all levels are sound and competent, and form a strict organizational system that runs from top to bottom and is effectively implemented, can the party's leadership "be like an arm, like an arm." To strengthen the modernization of the grass-roots governance system and governance capabilities, we must adhere to the party's overall leadership, constantly improve the party's leadership, give full play to the party's role as the core of leadership in overseeing the overall situation and coordinating all parties, and build a contingent of grass-roots party members and cadres who are politically competent, skilled, and have a strong work style. On the one hand, it is necessary to create good working and growth conditions for grass-roots cadres, ensure their rational treatment, help them to deeply improve their work style, improve their ability to develop the economy, reform and innovation, handle affairs according to law, resolve contradictions, and lead the masses, and guide them to take root in the grass-roots level, love their posts and dedicate themselves to their work, and strive to be first-class. On the other hand, we should pay close attention to the blank spots and weak points in grass-roots governance, make overall plans for the selection, education, management, and use of links, focus on strengthening cadres, optimizing the structure, and building a strong contingent of backbone cadres at the grass-roots level, promote talented talents to the front line, and strong soldiers and strong generals to the grass-roots level, select and dispatch backbone forces to the places where they are most needed, and promote party organizations to enter courtyard buildings, community grids, business circle markets, and association organizations through joint construction of industries, pairing and co-construction, and regional formation, and constantly improve and perfect the system of adhering to the party's comprehensive leadership system from horizontal to border and vertical to the end. Give full play to the role of grass-roots party organizations as fighting bastions and the vanguard and exemplary role of party members, and transform the political and organizational advantages of grass-roots party organizations into strong governance efficiency.
