How the Eight Regulations Can Change China
Why can a political party with a history of over a hundred years be full of vitality? Why can a large party with over 99 million members unite closely? Style is an important observation point and also an important entry point for decoding the governance of China in the new era.
On December 4, 2012, less than a month after the closing of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a meeting of the Central Political Bureau and deliberated and passed the "Eight Point Regulations of the 18th Central Political Bureau on Improving Work Style and Closely Connecting with the Masses". Improve investigation and research, streamline conference activities, streamline document briefings, standardize visiting activities, improve security work, improve news reports, strictly publish manuscripts, and strictly implement frugality... The eight regulations of just over 600 words have established iron rules and hard leverage for style building, and opened a new journey of style building of the CPC.
The construction of work style is always on the road, and the implementation of the spirit of the Central Eight point Regulation has no end. Not long ago, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to carry out in-depth study and education on the spirit of the Central Eight point Regulation throughout the Party from the National People's Congress to July. This is an important measure to consolidate and deepen the achievements of theme education and party discipline learning and education, and further promote the comprehensive and strict governance of the party. It is an inevitable requirement to strengthen the relationship between the party and the masses, cadres and the masses, consolidate the ruling foundation of the party, and a strong guarantee to promote Chinese path to modernization.
Why start with the eight regulations? Can we persist and achieve results? At that time, there were doubts among some cadres and the masses. Some people have raised concerns that in the past, "hundreds of documents could not control a single mouth" and are worried that the eight point regulation may also be a "gust of wind"; Some party members and cadres do not take it seriously, thinking that 'the limelight will soon pass'.
Faced with the wait-and-see attitude of whether there will be a "change of wind and turn" and the pressure of rebound and resurgence, General Secretary Xi Jinping has made a series of important statements from the strategic height of promoting the Party's self revolution and ensuring that the Party always becomes the strong leadership core of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, pointing out the direction for continuously strengthening the dam of the Central Eight point Regulation and promoting the normalization and long-term development of work style construction.
Regarding why we need to formulate the Central Eight point Regulation, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "to rectify the 'Four Winds' is to play a role in establishing trust and credibility. We must truly grasp them and work hard until the end." "To tackle the' Four Winds', we must first grasp the Central Eight point Regulation, and to tackle Party building, we must start from the 'Four Winds'. After doing one thing well, we can then do the second thing, so that everyone feels that we can accomplish it and we are serious about our work. Only in this way can we win the trust of the people and the whole Party.
Regarding how to view the Central Eight point Regulation, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "the Central Eight point Regulation is neither the highest standard nor the ultimate goal, but only the first step for us to improve our work style, and it is the basic requirement that we as Communists should achieve." "Regulations are regulations, without adding the word 'trial', it is to show a firm attitude and indicate that this regulation is rigid." "It is not a five-year or ten-year regulation, but a long-term effective iron rule and hard rod.
Regarding how to implement the Central Eight point Regulation, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "the most important thing is to do a good job in implementation, and words must be followed up with results". "If we cannot grasp and adhere to the Central Eight point Regulation well, why bother with the 18 point Regulation and the 28 point Regulation?" "We must constantly grasp it and work hard for a long time. If ten years is not enough, it will take twenty years, and if twenty years is not enough, it will take thirty years, until we truly transform it into a common practice.
Small incision, great effect. Taking the Central Eight point Regulation as the starting point and mobilization order, a series of practical and hard moves targeting the shortcomings of work style have been frequently launched, and the combination of punches targeting work style construction has achieved unprecedented results. The formulation and implementation of the Central Committee's eight point rule has become a move of the CPC to establish credibility in the new era, and the people have seen tangible results and changes.
The 18th Central Political Bureau broke through the eight point regulation to promote the construction of work style, and the first meetings of the 19th and 20th Central Political Bureaus both studied the content of work style construction and further deepened and refined it. The important meetings held annually, such as the Central Plenum, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection Plenum, and the Democratic Life Meeting of the Central Political Bureau, have made special arrangements and put forward clear requirements for implementing the Central Eight point Regulation and strengthening work style construction. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the centralized learning and education carried out throughout the party have made improving work style and closely connecting with the masses an important content, continuously improving the system and mechanism of party style construction.
At the beginning of the implementation of the eight point regulation, General Secretary Xi Jinping first started from the Political Bureau of the Central Committee: "The construction of Party conduct and clean governance should start from leading cadres, who should first start from the central leadership", "Those who are good at prohibition should be banned first and then passed on to future generations", "Comrades of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee should start from ourselves".
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has been deeply involved in grassroots and frontline work, with footprints covering the north and south of the country, and his presence always among the people. Every time he goes there, the General Secretary always strictly implements the Central Eight point Regulation, being frugal and frugal, setting an example and leading by example. For the first time since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, I left Beijing for inspection and went to Guangdong. I did not open roads, close roads, or lay red carpets. I went to inspect the troops and dined at the sailors' restaurant, queuing up with soldiers to prepare meals and eating at a table; From inspecting the dinner menu in Fuping County, Hebei Province in 2012, to inspecting the meal receipts in Lankao County, Henan Province in 2014, to covering 14 concentrated and contiguous poverty-stricken areas across the country... General Secretary Xi Jinping has set a benchmark and set an example for the whole party with practical actions.
The implementation of the eight point regulations has brought about a vibrant work style construction, and the eight point regulations have become a landmark measure to change the political ecology and social outlook. The Party's work style and political atmosphere have been revitalized, and the social and folk customs have continued to improve. Our Party has won the trust and support of the people with a new atmosphere of work style construction. According to a survey conducted by the National Bureau of Statistics in 2024, 94.9% of the respondents affirmed the effectiveness of implementing the spirit of the Central Eight point Regulation. The door is easy to enter, the attitude is getting better and better with a smiling face, the procedures are simplified and things are more convenient, the cadres have vitality and spirit, and we have the backbone to do things... "The people sincerely praise:" The Eight point Regulation has changed China
In June 2021, on the eve of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited the "Chinese Communist Party History Exhibition 'Never Forget the Original Aspiration, Always Remember the Mission'" at the Chinese Communist Party History Exhibition Hall.
In front of the display board of the Central Eight point Regulation, General Secretary Xi Jinping stopped and carefully examined: "The eight points here, including streamlining meeting activities, improving security work, improving news reporting, and practicing diligence, thrift, have all been done well. We still need to repeatedly emphasize and grasp them..." General Secretary Xi Jinping firmly said, "The Eight point Regulation should be consistently implemented
Based on this, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has decided to carry out in-depth study and education on the spirit of the Central Eight point Regulation throughout the party. General Secretary Xi Jinping personally planned and determined the theme of learning and education, delivered important speeches, and made important instructions, pointing out the direction for carrying out learning and education. During his inspection in Guizhou and Yunnan from March 17th to 20th, General Secretary Xi Jinping repeatedly discussed the important considerations of the Party Central Committee's decision to carry out this study and education: "In recent years, the Eight Point Regulation has indeed promoted fundamental changes, and the atmosphere has been renewed. Most of the phenomena that were difficult to reverse in the past have disappeared. At the same time, it should be noted that some places have loosened, there are still blind spots and blind spots in some aspects, and some bad practices have rebounded. Let's nail the nail, nail it a few more times, work for a long time, and turn the trend into customs." General Secretary Xi Jinping specifically instructed: "Party organizations at all levels should deeply understand the significance of the Party Central Committee's decision, focus on the theme, organize study and education in a simple and pragmatic manner, and avoid formalism and formalism. Marxism itself is the eight point rule that must be opposed The whole party should effectively unify its thoughts and actions with the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee, and solidly and effectively implement the various tasks and arrangements of learning and education.
We must adhere to the focus on the theme, be concise and pragmatic, promote learning, inspection and reform as a whole, integrate them into daily life, focus on the regular, comprehensively and thoroughly investigate and implement the spirit of the Central Eight point Regulation and its implementation rules, strengthen warning education in combination with reality, temper party spirit, enhance ideological consciousness, and ensure that learning has quality, inspection has strength, and reform has effectiveness.
We must adhere to the unity of Party spirit, Party conduct, Party discipline, and the integration of rectification, discipline, and anti-corruption. We must integrate the enhancement of Party spirit, strict adherence to discipline, and the refinement of work style, promote Party members and cadres to strengthen their determination, cultivate habits, and establish a new style of practical work and responsibility. With excellent work style, we can unite our hearts, work hard, and create new achievements.
The wind is setting sail for thousands of miles. Along the way, the eight point regulations have stirred up chaos and accumulated small changes, leveraging small incisions to bring about great changes and transforming China in the new era. On the new journey, we will continue to implement the spirit of the eight point rule of the Central Committee and deepen the work style construction, which will provide a strong work style guarantee for promoting Chinese path to modernization.
