Political discipline is the rules that party organizations at all levels and all party members must abide by in terms of political direction, political stance, political speech, and political behavior, and is the fundamental guarantee for maintaining the unity and unity of the party. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that political discipline is the most important, fundamental and critical discipline, and abiding by the party's political discipline is an important foundation for abiding by all the party's disciplines. Chapter 6 of the newly revised Regulations on Disciplinary Actions of the Communist Party of China (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations") "Punishment for Violations of Political Discipline" focuses on the mission and tasks of the Party in the new era and new journey, further tightens political discipline and political rules, and promotes the maintenance of the unity and unity of the Party.
The first is to resolutely safeguard the authority of the Party Central Committee and ensure the smooth implementation of the Party Central Committee's decrees. The "two safeguards" are the party's highest political principle and fundamental political rules, and they must be guaranteed by strict discipline. The primary task of the party's political construction is to ensure that the whole party obeys the central authorities and upholds the authority of the party Central Committee and its centralized and unified leadership. The second paragraph of Article 56 of the "Regulations" adjusts the implementation of the Party Central Committee's decisions and deployments from the original violation of work discipline to the violation of political discipline; A third paragraph is added to stipulate the punishment for those who engage in departmental or local protectionist conduct in disregard of the overall interests of the Party and the state. The above-mentioned amendments to the "Regulations" are aimed at promoting Party members and cadres to maintain the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee in action and practical results, correctly handle the relationship between the overall situation and the local situation, and between the central and local governments, consciously prevent and oppose individualism, decentralism, liberalism, and self-centeredness, and resolutely achieve consistency in words and deeds in the implementation of the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee.
The second is to promote the complete, accurate and comprehensive implementation of the new development concept and promote high-quality development. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that it is necessary to establish a strong view of political performance for the benefit of the people; Complete, accurate and comprehensive implementation of the new development concept is a work requirement for economic and social development, and it is also a very important political requirement. High-quality development is the primary task of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, and adhering to high-quality development should become an important part of the leading cadres' outlook on political performance. Article 57 of the "Regulations" is added to enrich the punishment provisions for the misplaced view of political performance of party members and leading cadres, violating the new development concept and deviating from the requirements of high-quality development, and adjusting the "image project" and "political performance project" that work hard and hurt the people and money from the original violation of mass discipline to the violation of political discipline. In practice, some party members and leading cadres have fallen behind and deviated in implementing the requirements of high-quality development, some of which are due to lack of ability or work style problems, but some are caused by the misplaced view of political performance. Those who have a misplaced view of political performance, tie up officials with personal fame and fortune, are keen on building a personal image, making political capital, rejoicing in great achievements, eager for quick success, greedy for fame, and deviate from political requirements in the implementation of the new development concept and promoting high-quality development, causing great losses to the interests of the Party, the country, and the people, shall be punished for violating political discipline. Party members and leading cadres should earnestly implement the requirements of the Party Central Committee, keep in mind that benefiting the people is the greatest political achievement, and implement the requirements of the new development concept and high-quality development.
The third is to promote the development of a positive and healthy intra-party political culture and create a good political ecology. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that the relationship between the top and bottom of the party, interpersonal relations, and the working atmosphere should highlight unity and harmony, purity and health, and promote righteousness. The "Several Guidelines on Intra-Party Political Life in the New Situation" clearly stipulates that "those who are opportunistic, form gangs, and engage in gangs and gangs must be strictly guarded against and dealt with in accordance with discipline and regulations", stressing that "personal dependence relationships are not allowed within the Party". The revised "Regulations" add a targeted provision on the punishment of engaging in political clinging to Article 54; Article 55 is added to provide for the punishment of engaging in speculation, befriending or being used by political swindlers, and acting as political swindlers. In the final analysis, party members and cadres engage in political attachment in order to seek promotion, deliberately clinging to the "backstage" and "backers", saddle up the horse, and let them send them, and alienate the refreshing comrade relationship into an abnormal relationship of attachment and dependence. The essence of party members and cadres befriending political swindlers lies in speculation, and in order to promote and reuse or evade discipline and law investigation, they are keen to engage in sideways and leftist ways, and they believe in the so-called "unspoken rules" and find a protégé, so that they are fascinated and provide conditions for political swindlers. These behaviors are concrete manifestations of a lack of political determination and political self-discipline, which seriously pollute the political ecology and cause political harm. The "Regulations" resolutely punish these behaviors that do not stress party spirit, principles, and rules are aimed at strengthening the party's political construction, creating a good political ecology, and earnestly safeguarding the party's unity and unity.
Fourth, it is necessary to standardize political words and deeds and promote firm ideals and convictions. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that belief in Marxism, socialism and communism is the political soul of communists and the spiritual pillar for communists to withstand any tests. In response to the problems discovered in the enforcement of discipline, the "Regulations" add provisions on the punishment of unauthorized reading, browsing, and listening to materials with serious political problems and serious circumstances in Article 52; In Article 69, further improve the provisions on the handling and punishment of Party members' religious beliefs, clarifying that Party members who believe in religion are to strengthen ideological education, and require them to make corrections within a set period of time; Article 70 adds provisions on sanctions for Party members engaging in superstitious activities. These behaviors of party members and cadres show that their beliefs are confused and spiritually lost, and the political harm cannot be ignored. Party members and cadres should regard firm ideals and beliefs and adhere to the spiritual pursuit of Communists as the foundation of their lives, and always maintain the political nature of Communists.
Maintaining a high degree of unity with the Party Central Committee is not only a political requirement, but also a political discipline. Party members and cadres should strictly implement and maintain the party's political discipline, earnestly improve political judgment, political comprehension, and political execution, consciously safeguard the authority of the Party Central Committee and centralized and unified leadership, consciously maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core in terms of ideology, politics and action, and maintain the unity and unity of the Party with practical actions.
