Our party's consistent requirement for cadres is to have both ability and political integrity, and at the same time, it has put forward requirements with different emphases in light of the situation and tasks facing the party in different historical periods. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has put forward the standards for good cadres in the new era, and put forward a series of new requirements for improving the ability and quality of cadres, including enhancing the "eight skills" and improving the "seven abilities". In February 2024, General Secretary Xi Jinping wrote a preface to the sixth batch of national cadre study and training materials, emphasizing the need to comprehensively improve the political ability, leadership ability, and work ability that are compatible with the promotion of Chinese-style modernization. The "Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform and Promoting Chinese-style Modernization" adopted at the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China focuses on the overall situation and strategy, and makes major arrangements for improving the ability of cadres to modernize, pointing out that it is necessary to "improve the mechanism of normalized training, especially basic training, strengthen professional training and practical training, and comprehensively improve the ability of cadres to modernize". On the new journey, we must resolutely implement the decisions and arrangements of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, keep pace with the times, and comprehensively improve the ability of cadres to modernize.
Priority must be given to improving political capacity. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that among all the abilities of leading cadres, political ability is the first. History and practice have proved that in order to build the party strong and effective and consolidate the party's ruling position, it is necessary to have a large number of politically competent party members and cadres. How can cadres in the new era be politically competent? It is very important to firmly grasp the central task of comprehensively promoting the building of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese-style modernization, always maintain political acumen, maintain a clear head and political determination, and always and everywhere think about problems, make decisions, and do things politically. This requires continuous improvement of political judgment, enhancing the ability to scientifically grasp the changes in the situation, accurately identify the essence of the phenomenon, soberly distinguish between right and wrong, and effectively resist risks and challenges. Improve political comprehension, know the "great man of the country" well, and always maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee; Improve political execution, implement the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee to the letter, and earnestly achieve the resolute response advocated by the Party Central Committee, the resolute implementation of the decisions of the Party Central Committee, and the resolute refusal to do what the Party Central Committee prohibits. Political ability is concrete, and it must be embodied in the practical actions of firmly supporting the "two establishments" and resolutely fulfilling the "two safeguards." We must consciously strengthen our political experience and training, match our political ability with the work responsibilities we are taking, and become politically sensible people.
It is necessary to focus on the major decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and the major strategic needs of the country, and carry out special training on modern industrial system, modern finance and finance, comprehensive rural revitalization, scientific and technological innovation and new quality productivity, emergency management and public opinion disposal, and grassroots governance at different levels and fields.

Leadership must be improved in an integrated manner. Chinese modernization is an unprecedented change in human history, and it is necessary to deepen the understanding of laws and strengthen the leadership ability to lead the development of modernization. This is an all-round and systematic requirement, and the focus is that leading cadres at all levels should benchmark the "seven abilities" emphasized by General Secretary Xi Jinping and promote a great improvement in overall quality. On the premise of improving political ability and building a solid foundation of loyalty, it is necessary to continuously improve the ability of investigation and research, understand and grasp the real situation, find out a series of bottlenecks in the process of modernization through investigation and investigation, and provide strong support for resolving various problems and contradictions. Continuously improve the ability of scientific decision-making, establish a strategic vision, stand on the overall situation to see problems, make decisions, and be good at comprehensive analysis, comprehensive trade-offs, and scientific decisions; Continuously improve the ability to tackle tough problems in reform, realize the reform and innovation of ideological concepts, production methods, and interest patterns, and focus on major issues in building a modern socialist country in an all-round way to plan and promote reform; Continuously improve the ability to deal with emergencies, accurately recognize changes, respond scientifically, and actively seek changes, so that in the face of emergencies, we can be aware of them, classify policies, and accurately defuse bombs; Continuously improve the ability of the masses to work, take the party's mass line in the new era, carry out work in a way that is popular with the masses and easy to accept, and be good at propaganda, mobilization, organization and mobilization of the masses; We should continue to improve our ability to implement, be uncompromising, vigorous and resolute, seek truth and be pragmatic, dare to do good deeds, effectively solve difficult problems, and be a firm doer and doer in Chinese-style modernization.
It is necessary to temper the ability to work. Among the cadre ability, the work ability is the basic skill to perform their duties. Proceeding from the overall situation of modernization, it is necessary to anchor the major arrangements made by the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and focus on improving the ability to promote high-quality development, serve the masses, and prevent and resolve risks. High-quality development is the primary task of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, which requires cadres to completely, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development concept, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern with innovative ideas and methods, and develop new quality productive forces in accordance with local conditions. Serving the people wholeheartedly is the fundamental purpose of our party, and it requires cadres to practice the people-centered development philosophy, strive to solve the people's urgent, difficult, and longing problems, and let the fruits of modernization benefit all the people more and more fairly. At present, the development of the mainland has entered a period in which strategic opportunities, risks and challenges coexist, and uncertain and unpredictable factors are increasing, and it is necessary for cadres to enhance their sense of worry, adhere to the bottom-line thinking, coordinate development and security, and foresee, respond to, and deal with major risks in a timely manner. Along with the process of modernization, all aspects of work are becoming more and more specialized, specialized, and refined, and the requirements for cadres' professional ability to do their own work well are also getting higher and higher. General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized the need to pay attention to cultivating professional ability and professionalism, and has put forward clear requirements for the quality and ability of cadres in different fields and types. It is necessary to consciously find the gap, clarify the direction, set the goal, strengthen the cultivation and improvement of skills, and achieve specialization in the art industry.
