In the first lesson of the new year, Xi Jinping told senior leading cadres in the party five questions

On January 11, the provincial and ministerial-level leading cadres studied and implemented the spirit of the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Party. General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech.
The purpose of this special seminar is very clear. It is to thoroughly study and understand the resolutions of the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Party, continue to deepen the summary, study, education, and propaganda of party history, and better grasp and use the party's century-old struggle. Historical experience.
The group noted that Xi Jinping profoundly expounded five issues at the opening ceremony, namely, promoting the modernization of Marxism in China, correctly grasping the principal contradictions and central tasks of society, attaching importance to strategic and strategic issues, and always maintaining the true character of the party's Marxist political party. the normalization and long-term effect of party history study and education. These explanations constitute the main context of Xi Jinping's "New Year's First Lesson.
Why can the Communist Party of China 1.? Why is socialism with Chinese characteristics good? Xi Jinping made it clear at the celebration of the 100 anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China: "In the final analysis, it is because of the practice of Marxism!" In this special seminar, Xi Jinping further explained: The reason why Marxism works is that the party continues to promote the modernization of Marxism in China and use it to guide practice.
The progressive logic reveals a truth: whether Marxism can play a role in practice depends on whether it can combine the basic principles of Marxism with China's reality and the characteristics of the times. This involves two meanings: the Sinicization of Marxism and the modernization of Marxism, both of which are aimed at guiding practice.
Although Marx and Engels have made scientific predictions and assumptions about the development process and direction of the future socialist society, this does not mean that Marxism is immutable. Both positive and negative historical experience has fully proved that Marxist theory is not a dogma, but a guide to action, which must develop with the changes of practice. As pointed out in the resolution of the sixth Plenary session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, Marxist theory "must be sinicized in order to take root and localized in order to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people".
How to achieve the "Sinicization" and "localization" of Marxist theory? Xi Jinping mentioned "two combinations", that is, to promote the combination of the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific reality and with China's excellent traditional culture. The "two combinations" embody the great courage of theoretical innovation.
At present, China is facing the heavy task of reform, development and stability, the number of contradictions, risks and challenges, the unprecedented test of governance, and the unprecedented profound changes in the world in a century. It can be said that the changes of the times have gone far beyond the imagination of Marxist classic writers at that time. In the face of the rapidly changing world and China, if we stick to the rules, our thinking is rigid, and we do not have the courage to innovate in theory, and we cannot scientifically answer the questions of China, the world, the people and the times, not only will the cause of the party and the state be unable to move forward, but also Marxism will lose its vitality and persuasiveness.
Only by developing Marxism can we adhere to Marxism, which is the dialectic of history.
2. in this special seminar, Xi Jinping used a very vivid metaphor: insisting on using the "arrow" of Marxism to shoot the "of China" in the new era ". So, how to accurately find the "" of China in the new era?
Marxist theory has an important point of view, which is to grasp the main contradictions of things and the main aspects of contradictions. For a political party and a country, whether the cause can advance in the right direction depends on whether it can accurately understand and grasp the main social contradictions and determine the central task. In other words, by grasping the main social contradictions and accurately judging the central tasks, the work can distinguish the priorities and priorities, so as to be more "targeted".
The main contradictions in Chinese society are always developing and changing. For example, after the reform and opening up, the main contradiction in Chinese society was the contradiction between the people's growing material and cultural needs and the backward social production. Solving this main contradiction was the central task at that time. As socialism with Chinese characteristics enters a new era, the main contradiction in Chinese society has been transformed into a contradiction between the people's growing need for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development.
Xi Jinping pointed out that when the main social contradictions and central tasks are accurately judged, the cause of the party and the people will develop smoothly, otherwise the cause of the party and the people will suffer setbacks. He emphasized the need to have a "global view" and be aware of various contradictions. At the same time, he must focus on the main contradictions and central tasks, and give priority to the resolution of the main contradictions and the main aspects of the contradictions, so as to promote the resolution of other contradictions.
Of course, to solve the problem of contradiction, we should pay attention to strategic strategy. Generally speaking, strategy is to make judgments and decisions from the overall, long-term, and general trend. Strategy serves strategy under the guidance of strategy. The two are dialectically unified, but strategy is fundamental.
Xi Jinping emphasized at the seminar that the strategic decisions made by the Party Central Committee must be implemented unconditionally to ensure that there is no bias, no change, and no deviation.
3. the Communist Party of China has such a long history, such a large scale and such a long time in power, how can it jump out of the historical cycle rate of the rise and fall of chaos?
In the 1940 s, Mao Zedong gave the answer in a cave in Yan'an: "Only by letting the people supervise the government can the government dare not relax". After a hundred years of struggle, especially the new practice since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Communist Party of China has given the second answer-self-revolution.
The key to self-revolution is to have the consciousness to face up to the problem and the courage to turn the blade inward. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Communist Party of China has been administering the party strictly with unprecedented courage and determination, playing a set of self-revolutionary "combined punches", unswervingly "fighting tigers", "swatting flies" and "hunting foxes". Today, the fight against corruption has been overwhelmingly won and comprehensively consolidated.
However, there are also people who feel that the overall strict governance of the Party is already in place and strict to the end? Is it possible to loosen up and slow down? In this regard, Xi Jinping resolutely pointed out that the comrades of the whole Party should always maintain the spirit of self-revolution, enhance the overall strict governance of the Party will always be on the road political consciousness, must not breed the already strict in place of boredom. At this special seminar, Xi Jinping once again emphasized to the main leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial level that no matter who has problems with party discipline and state law, party discipline and state law will never forgive.
Why does the Communist Party of China dare to revolutionize itself? Because "the Party represents the fundamental interests of the broadest number of Chinese people, has no special interests of its own, and has never represented the interests of any interest group, any powerful group, or any privileged class". Only by being magnanimous and selfless can we have the motivation and courage to self-revolution, which is also a remarkable sign that the Communist Party of China is different from other political parties.
