Adhere to the rule of law in an all-round way and consolidate the institutional foundation of the rule of China.

The fourth Plenary session of the 19th CPC Central Committee made comprehensive arrangements for upholding and improving the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. I have said many times that adhering to the comprehensive rule of law is a significant advantage of the socialist state system and national governance system with Chinese characteristics. If the practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics is pushed forward, the construction of the rule of law will follow further. Practice has proved that the fundamental system, basic system and important system of the state are confirmed and consolidated through the constitution and law, and the implementation is guaranteed by the state coercive force, which ensures the systematicness, standardization, coordination and stability of the national governance system.
The socialist rule of law in our country embodies the theoretical achievements and practical experience of our party in governing the country, and is the most basic, stable and reliable guarantee for the governance of the system. To promote the comprehensive rule of law and give full play to the positive role of the rule of law in the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities, we must focus on the following aspects.
　　First, improve the Party's ability to govern the country according to law and the rule of law.The Constitution provides for the Party's leadership in overtaking the overall situation and coordinating all parties. It is necessary to further promote the party's leadership into laws and regulations, be good at making the party's propositions become the will of the state through legal procedures, transform them into laws and regulations, and promote the institutionalization, legalization, and standardization of the party's leadership. Party organizations, Party members and cadres at all levels should strengthen the concept of governing the country according to law and governing according to law, and improve their ability to deepen reform, promote development, resolve contradictions, maintain stability and deal with risks by using the thinking and methods of the rule of law.

　　Second, the rule of law should be used to ensure that the people are the masters of their own house.It is necessary to adhere to and improve the system of the people being the masters of the country, improve the guarantee system of social fairness and justice and the rule of law, and ensure that the people manage state affairs, economic and cultural undertakings, and social affairs through various channels and forms under the leadership of the party, so that the law and its implementation effectively reflect the will of the people, protect their rights and interests, and stimulate their creativity.
　Third, adhere to and improve the socialist rule of law system with Chinese characteristics.We should adhere to the joint promotion of governing the country according to law, governing according to law and administration according to law, adhere to the construction of a country ruled by law, a government ruled by law and a society ruled by law, constantly improve the legal norms, the implementation of the rule of law, the supervision of the rule of law, the guarantee of the rule of law and the inner-party legal system, absorb and learn from the beneficial achievements of human legal civilization, We will resolutely resist the influence of Western erroneous thoughts and accelerate the construction of the socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics.
　Fourth, give better play to the role of the rule of law in leading, regulating and safeguarding reform, development and stability.To promote the overall layout of the "five in one" and the strategic layout of the "four comprehensive", we should give full play to the leading, standardizing and ensuring role of the rule of law, deepen the practice of governing the country according to law, test the effectiveness of the construction of the rule of law, focus on strengthening the foundation, promoting advantages, making up for weaknesses, strengths and weaknesses, and promoting more mature and stereotyped systems in all aspects, Gradually realize the institutionalization, standardization and legalization of national governance.

　　Fifth, build a high-quality legal work team.We should study and plan the long-term plan for the training of legal talents and the construction of legal personnel in the new era, innovate the training mechanism of legal talents, promote the balanced layout of legal work teams in the eastern, central and western regions, improve the ideological and political quality, professional work ability and professional ethics of the legal work team, and strive to build a socialist legal work team loyal to the party, the country, the people and the law, To accelerate the construction of a socialist legal country.
The comprehensive reform of the judicial responsibility system is an important part of the reform of the judicial system, which is related to the judicial justice, efficiency and authority. It is necessary to do a good job in the implementation of the reform task, truly "let the trial judge and the referee be responsible", improve judicial credibility, and strive to make the people feel fair and just in every judicial case. Strengthening the construction of rural areas under the rule of law is the basic work for implementing the strategy of rural revitalization and promoting the comprehensive rule of law. It is necessary to educate and guide the broad masses of cadres and masses in rural areas to handle affairs in accordance with the law, find the law when they encounter problems, use the law to solve problems, and resolve contradictions, and actively promote the construction of villages under the rule of law. It is necessary to implement the administrative reconsideration system reform plan, optimize the allocation of administrative reconsideration resources, promote the revision of relevant laws and regulations, and give full play to the system advantages of administrative reconsideration that is fair and efficient, convenient for the people, and the main channel for resolving administrative disputes.

Adhere to the combination of top-level design and the practice of the rule of law,
Enhancing the effectiveness of the rule of law to promote the modernization of national governance system and governance capacity

The medium-and long-term goal of the construction of the rule of law should take into account the international and domestic situation, the process of the construction of the rule of law and the needs of the people for the rule of law, and coordinate with the requirements of promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. We should constantly improve the top-level design, constantly innovate and deepen the practice of governing the country according to law.
With the development of the times and the advancement of reforms, the modernization of national governance has become more and more urgent for a scientific and complete legal system. On the premise of adhering to and improving the fundamental systems, basic systems and important systems that have been established and tested in practice, we should focus on the blank points and conflict points of the legal system, make overall plans and promote the work of legislation, reform and abolition as a whole, and speed up the establishment and improvement of a legal system that is urgently needed by national governance and necessary to meet the growing needs of the people for a better life.
Only by enforcing the law, judicial justice, high efficiency and authority can we really give full play to the effectiveness of the rule of law in national governance. It is necessary to strengthen the supervision of the implementation of the law, deepen the comprehensive reform of the judicial system, promote strict, fair and civilized law enforcement, strive to improve the quality, efficiency, and credibility of law enforcement and justice, and better transform the advantages of the socialist rule of law into the effectiveness of national governance.
The construction of the rule of law requires the participation of the whole society. Only when all the people believe in the rule of law and strictly enforce the rule of law, can the country and social life truly operate on the track of the rule of law. At present, some leading cadres are not good at using the thinking and way of the rule of law to promote their work, and leading cadres are unable to replace the law with words and oppress the law with power, which is the great enemy of the construction of the rule of law. Leading cadres at all levels must strengthen their awareness of the rule of law, take the lead in respecting the law, studying the law, abiding by the law, and setting an example for the implementation of the system. The rule of law is based on the people. It is necessary to strengthen the work of popularizing the law among the whole people, carry forward the socialist spirit of the rule of law, enhance the concept of the rule of law among the whole people, improve the public legal service system, and consolidate the social foundation of governing the country according to law. We must adhere to the combination of governing the country according to law and governing the country by virtue, integrate the core socialist values into the construction of the rule of law, improve the long-term mechanism of integrity construction, increase the punishment for acts such as anomie and lack of integrity, and strive to form a good social fashion and social order.
More than 60 years ago, we put forward the five principles of peaceful coexistence, which have been widely recognized and supported by the international community and have become the basic norms of international relations and the basic principles of international law. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have put forward the concept of promoting the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind, which has been generally welcomed and highly praised by all parties and has been included in a series of resolutions of the United Nations. We must take advantage of the situation, follow the trend, firmly uphold the international order and international system with the purposes and principles of the UN Charter as the core, and contribute Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions to the reform and construction of the global governance system.
