China is the world's largest developing country, the Communist Party of China is the world's largest political party with more than 91 million party members, building socialism with Chinese characteristics is a great cause unprecedented, and the 14th Five-Year Plan opens a new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country. In order to further achieve big parties, big countries, and big causes in the new journey, we must have a big vision, big ideas, big strategies, and big strokes in governing the country.
General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized "the great power of the country" and required leading cadres at all levels to "know the 'great power of the country'", which reflects the distinct style of General Secretary Xi Jinping's governance of the country and is also a strategic requirement for leading cadres at all levels. In accordance with the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions, we must draw positive and negative historical experience from the history of the party, unswervingly align ourselves with the party Central Committee, continuously improve our political judgment, political understanding, and political execution, consciously maintain a high degree of consistency with the party Central Committee in ideological and political actions, and ensure that the whole party is twisted into a rope, thinking and working hard to make a difference.
To study the history of the CPC's 100-year struggle and more than 70 years of ruling power, and to thoroughly study and grasp the "great power of the country," there are several key words that must be mastered: the road, the general trend, the overall situation, the big policy, and the big event. First, the avenue, that is, the law, the truth, and the road, we must grasp the law of historical development, clarify the road forward for the country, and strengthen the concept and strategy of governing the country. The second is the general trend, that is, the situation, the trend, the situation, the current situation and the trend. "Mountains and seas compete for water, and water will return to the sea, and if the sea does not seek it, its momentum will be smooth." It is necessary to accurately distinguish the general trend of world development, seize the opportunity, and turn the crisis into an opportunity. Third, the overall situation, that is, everything starts from the overall situation of the development of the party and the country, and leading cadres must bear in mind two overall situations, one is the overall situation of the great rejuvenation strategy of the Chinese nation, and the other is the great changes in the world that have not occurred in a hundred years. The fourth is the general policy, that is, scientific decision-making. When encountering problems, scientific decision-making is crucial, and when decisions are made, no matter how troublesome they are; if the decision is right, the implementation will also have a direction. Fifth, major events, that is, major events related to the fundamental interests of the people and the country, such as coping with the complex and changeable international environment, building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, starting a new journey of the "14th Five-Year Plan", and fighting the new crown pneumonia epidemic. This is the historical responsibility of the party, and it is also the responsibility and mission of every party member and cadre.
