Maintain a strict tone, strict measures, and a strict atmosphere over the long term.

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized at the second plenary session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection that comprehensively and strictly governing the Party should be regarded as a long-term strategy and an eternal task of the Party. We must always adhere to a problem-oriented approach, maintain strategic determination, carry forward the spirit of thorough self-revolution, continuously sound the charge, persistently uphold a strict tone, strict measures, and a strict atmosphere, and carry the Party's great self-revolution through to the end. The discipline inspection and supervision organs are the specialized bodies for intra-Party supervision and national supervision. They bear important responsibilities in comprehensively and strictly governing the Party and advancing Party building. Under the strong leadership of General Secretary Xi Jinping and the Party Central Committee, they must unswervingly uphold the strict tone, strict measures, and strict atmosphere, continuously exert efforts, and push forward in depth.

Persistently upholding a strict tone, strict measures, and a strict atmosphere demonstrates our Party's high consciousness of learning from history and looking to the future. It reflects the Party's constant clarity, firmness, and deep sense of urgency in addressing the unique challenges of a large Party. From historical experience, our Party is a Marxist party organized by revolutionary ideals and iron discipline. "Strictness" is an inherent attribute of the Party, a glorious tradition, and a unique advantage. From the practice of governing the Party in the new era, the Party Central Committee unswervingly adheres to a strict tone, persistently promotes comprehensive and strict Party governance, and firmly advances Party conduct and clean government construction and the fight against corruption. The Party has become stronger and more vigorous through revolutionary forging. From the current situation and tasks, since the 18th National Congress, through comprehensive and strict Party governance, many long-standing stubborn problems have been resolved. However, the "four major tests" and "four kinds of dangers" the Party faces persist long-term, and prominent problems such as impure thoughts, impure politics, impure organization, and impure work style within the Party have not been fundamentally resolved. Comprehensive and strict Party governance is always on the way, and the Party's self-revolution is always ongoing. Discipline inspection and supervision organs must earnestly enhance their political responsibility and historical mission to solve the unique problems of a large Party, persistently uphold "strictness," and create a strong atmosphere of genuine and strict management, daring and strict enforcement, and long-term strict governance.

Always maintain political determination and strategic determination, and unswervingly adhere to a strict tone. Comprehensive and strict Party governance is a long-term, arduous, and complex systematic project, and the strict tone must be consistent and persistently upheld. We must clearly recognize that corruption and work style problems are stubborn and recurrent. If the strict tone is relaxed even slightly, unhealthy tendencies and corruption will resurge, and the overwhelming victory achieved will be undone. We must enhance our sense of urgency, adhere to bottom-line thinking, always remain clear-headed and firm, more consciously regard comprehensive and strict Party governance as a long-term strategy and eternal task of the Party, resolutely reject expedient and temporary measures, firmly overcome slackness, fatigue, and war-weariness, resolutely prevent erroneous expectations of changing direction or lowering standards, continuously sound the charge, and carry the Party's great self-revolution through to the end.

Adhere to strictness as the priority, comprehensively and strictly govern the Party, and be strict to the end. Integrate strict requirements, strict standards, and strict measures throughout the entire process and all aspects of comprehensive and strict Party governance. Regarding strengthening political supervision to implement the Party's 20th strategic deployment, political discipline and political rules must be strictly enforced; to improve the Party's self-revolution system and normative framework, supervision of the "top leaders" and leadership teams must be strengthened, urging them to be strict with themselves, strictly fulfill their responsibilities, and strictly manage their jurisdictions; to leverage the political inspection sword, strict requirements must be implemented throughout all stages of political inspections; to comprehensively strengthen Party discipline construction, discipline must be strictly enforced and violations must be investigated and dealt with firmly; to win the tough and protracted battle against corruption, key issues must be strictly investigated... Strict requirements, standards, and measures must be effectively implemented in all aspects of comprehensive and strict Party governance, covering important links, key positions, and critical nodes in the exercise of power, ensuring the deterrent effect of strictness is always present and the wall of punishment is solid.

Deeply grasp the causes, main manifestations, and solutions to the unique problems of a large Party, and create a comprehensive strict atmosphere. Solving the unique problems of a large Party is a hurdle that must be overcome to achieve the Party's mission and tasks in the new era and new journey, and a tough bone that comprehensive and strict Party governance must gnaw on to adapt to new situations and requirements. Discipline inspection and supervision organs must translate their concern and responsibility for the Party into concrete actions, earnestly implement the Party's overall requirements for building the Party in the new era, promote the continuous improvement of the comprehensive and strict Party governance system, ensure full coverage in content, objects, responsibilities, and systems. We must adhere to systematic governance and address both symptoms and root causes, simultaneously advancing the deterrence of corruption by making it impossible and undesirable, exerting efforts simultaneously, in the same direction, and comprehensively, exploring effective carriers that integrate the three, closely combining and coordinating strict punishment, power regulation, and education and guidance, continuously achieving more institutional results and greater governance effectiveness. We must combine strict management with care, balance incentives and constraints, persistently uphold a strict tone, and adhere to the "three distinctions," make good use of the fault-tolerant and error-correcting mechanism, better stimulate the enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity of the broad masses of Party members and cadres, and achieve an organic unity of political, disciplinary, legal, and social effects.
