Adhere to principles and dare to struggle

——On studying and implementing General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech at the opening ceremony of the training class for young and middle-aged cadres

"When Communists stress party spirit and principles, they must stress struggle." At the opening ceremony of the training class for young and middle-aged cadres at the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) in the autumn semester of 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly required young cadres to adhere to principles and dare to struggle, pointing out that "on the issue of principles, we must not be vague and must not back down, otherwise it is irresponsible to the party and the people, or even a crime", emphasizing that "communists must at all times have the wind, integrity and courage of not believing in evil, not being afraid of ghosts, and not being properly cartilaged."

The courage to struggle is the distinctive character of our Party. Our party was born at a time when the country was in internal and external troubles and the nation was in crisis, and from its birth it was engraved with the brand of struggle, and along the way it sought survival, development, and victory in the struggle. The establishment of the Communist Party of China, the founding of the People's Republic of China, the implementation of reform and opening up, and the promotion of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era were all born, developed, and strengthened in the course of struggle. Over the past 100 years, in coping with various difficulties and challenges, our party has tempered the backbone and quality of not being afraid of strong enemies, not afraid of risks, daring to struggle, and daring to win, which is the most distinctive characteristic and characteristic of our party. Our Party has relied on struggle to get to where it is today, and it is bound to rely on struggle to win the future.

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "At present, the world's unprecedented major changes in a century are accelerating, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered a critical period, the risks and challenges we are facing have increased significantly, and it is unrealistic to always want to live a peaceful life and not want to struggle." We must profoundly understand that the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is by no means something that can be achieved easily and easily by beating a gong and a drum, and that a great struggle must be waged to realize the great dream. On the way forward, the risks and tests we face will only become more and more complex, and even encounter unimaginable waves. The struggles we face are not short-term but long-term, and at least they must accompany us throughout the process of achieving the second centenary goal. We must fully understand the protracted, complex, and arduous nature of this great struggle, strengthen our will to struggle, carry forward the spirit of struggle, enhance our ability to struggle, be tough in our bones, dare to attack, and dare to fight and win! As General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: "We must abandon our illusions, have the courage to struggle, not give in to any step or land on issues of principle, and safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests with unprecedented quality of will." ”

The struggle of the Communists has a direction, a stand and a principle. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "Adhering to principles is an important character of communists and an important criterion for measuring whether a cadre is competent. For the Communists, "Mr. Good" is not really a good man. People who practice the doctrine of good people have no public heart, only selfishness, no righteousness, only tackyness, what is good is themselves, and what is bad is the atmosphere and the cause. Adhering to principles, the general direction is to unswervingly uphold the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the socialist system in our country. On the way forward, all kinds of risks and challenges that endanger the leadership of the Communist Party of China and China's socialist system, all kinds of risks and challenges that endanger China's sovereignty, security, and development interests, all kinds of risks and challenges that endanger China's core interests and major principles, all kinds of risks and challenges that endanger the fundamental interests of our people, and all kinds of risks and challenges that endanger china's realization of the second centenary goal and the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, as long as they come, we must carry out a resolute struggle, unswerving, and unflinching. Until victory. Principles should be stressed in the face of major issues of right and wrong, and there are also issues of principle in small subsections. Party cadres must have the spirit of doing things impartially and being selfless with an iron face, stress principles rather than face, and stress party spirit rather than favoritism. Our minds must be particularly sober- and our stand must be particularly firm, firmly grasp the correct direction of the struggle, and ensure that in the face of all kinds of major struggles and tests, we must "not be afraid of floating clouds to cover our eyes" and "still calmly fly through chaotic clouds."

The Communist Party of China is a big party that has been tempered for a hundred years and has long-term and rich practical experience in struggle, and daring to struggle and dare to win is an invincible and powerful spiritual force of the Communist Party of China. On the way forward, more closely united around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, enhancing the "four consciousnesses", strengthening the "four self-confidences", achieving the "two safeguards", daring to struggle, being good at struggle, opening up roads in every mountain and building bridges in the face of water, our party will certainly be able to unite and lead the people to effectively cope with major challenges, resist major risks, overcome major obstacles, resolve major contradictions, and constantly win new victories in the great struggle!
