This is the third article by Our Commentator on the guideline
for the work of the whole Party and State this year. Following
is the full text published on the front page of People's Daily
on January 5.
Getting a firm
grip of implementation and advancing by taking advantage of
the excellent situation means seizing the favorable situation
featuring an important turn in China's economy, mobilizing
all positive factors, burying ourselves in hard work, stressing
actual effect, striving to improve the quality and efficiency
of economic growth, raising the level of various items of
work and further creating a new situation in the reform, opening
and modernization drive.
We should soberly
see that the fundamental policy for the next five years has
been defined, and various tasks for this year clearly set,
the decisive matter at present is having a firm grip of implementation.
Implementation both reflects the mental state of people and
embodies the style of work, it both concerns the image of
the Party and affects the confidence of the masses.
We must resolutely
stop the evil trends of formalism and bureaucracy by acting
in compliance with the requirements of the central authorities
and by uniting the efforts of the upper and lower levels of
the whole Party and State, vigorously carry forward the style
of working hard and in a down-to-earth manner, stress actuality,
tell the truth, engage in practical work and pursue practical
results.
In firmly grasping
implementation, we should stress the word "firm"
and attach importance to "practicality" or actuality.
We should implement the spirit of the central authorities
to push forward various items of work, we must never be contented
with general calls, and should not implement the spirit of
the conference by holding a local or departmental transmitting
conference; or implement the essence of the document by drafting
a local or departmental document; nor should we rest content
with setting a few typical examples, instead, we must vigorously
strengthen giving concrete guidance and concentrate efforts
on solving practical problems.
In particular,
we should go deep into the grass-roots units, and to places
where there are many contradictions and great difficulties,
and the situation there is complicated, and where we are needed
by the masses;. we should join the cadres and the masses there
to "dissect the sparrow" and accurately find out
the crux of the matter, formulate measures and help change
the local situation. Only with such vigor and such a realistic
style of work, can the CPC Central Committee's principles
and policies be carried out, can the magnificent blueprint
of the 10th Five-year Plan be turned into brilliant reality
step by step.
In advancing by
taking advantage of the favorable situation, we should stress
the grasp of the "favorable situation" and attach
importance to persistent "advance". The good momentum
gained in China's economic development is the fruit born out
of our persistent effort in the firm grasp of implementation;
it is also the foundation for our future firm grasp of implementation
and for creating new achievements.
In advancing by
taking advantage of the favorable situation, we should give
full play to our political advantages and bring the ideas
of the whole Party and the people of the whole country in
keeping with the spirit of the 15th National Congress of the
Party and of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 15th Party Central
Committee, bring the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity
of the masses into play, thereby forming a powerful force
which is all-conquering and in ever-victorious forward march;
we should stick to the central task of economic construction,
firmly grasp this theme of development, and creatively do
our work well with a strong sense of urgency, mission and
responsibility; we should conscientiously study and actively
cope with the trends of economic globalization, make full
use of the favorable opportunity provided us by the worldwide
rapidly developing scientific and technological revolution
and the readjustment of the industrial structure, give play
to our potential superiority, promote industrialization through
informationization, bring about a leap in the development
of social productive forces and expedite the all-round progress
of society.
Firmly gripping
implementation and advancing by taking advantage of the favorable
situation is an integral whole. If we fail to firmly grasp
implementation, we can hardly maintain the development momentum
however good it is and will even miss the opportunity for
development. If we fail to advance by availing ourselves of
the favorable situation and properly grasp and utilize the
"favorable situation", we will get half the result
with twice the effort, and even toil with no gain in our firm
grasp of implementation. If we unify the two, grasp implementation
firmly and solidly and are good at acting and moving forward
by taking advantage of the favorable situation, we will be
able to grasp the opportunity, speed up development, meet
the challenge and seize victories.
We must resolutely
implement the guiding principle laid down by the Party Central
Committee for the work of the whole Party and State, further
unite the hearts of the Party and the people so as to write
a new chapter on China's reform, opening and socialist modernization
drive in the first year of the new century with actual deeds
in our firm grip of implementation and with the rich fruit
seized in our advance by taking advantage of the favorable
situation.
