In the new era and new journey, we must grasp the new historical characteristics of the great struggle, carry forward the spirit of struggle, strengthen the will to fight, master the laws of struggle, strengthen the ability to fight, and constantly strive for new victories in the great struggle of the new era.
Fully understand the long-term, complex and arduous nature of the great struggle
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “We must have the courage to carry out great struggles with many new historical characteristics.” “The concept of ‘new historical characteristics’ has a very profound meaning. It is an important judgment drawn from a comprehensive review and judgment of the development trend of the two major domestic and international situations.” The new historical characteristics of the struggle, and fully understand the long-term, complex, and arduous nature of the great struggle.
Fully understand the long-term. From the perspective of the world situation, the world‘s major changes unseen in a century are accelerating. Changes in the world, times, and history are unfolding in an unprecedented way. From the perspective of national conditions, the principal contradiction in our society has been transformed into the contradiction between the people’s ever-growing needs for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development. However, the basic national conditions that our country is still in the primary stage of socialism and will remain in the primary stage of socialism for a long time have not changed. The international status of the world‘s largest developing country has not changed. To solve the problem of unbalanced and inadequate development and continuously narrow the gap with the world‘s advanced level, we must make long-term and unremitting efforts. From the point of view of the party situation, the party will face the test of governance, the test of reform and opening up, the test of the market economy, and the test of the external environment for a long time. The danger of mental slack, the danger of insufficient ability, the danger of being separated from the masses, and the danger of passive corruption will exist for a long time. The party is always on the road, and the party’s self-revolution is always on the road. It can be seen that the various struggles we face are not short-term but long-term, at least along with the whole process of realizing the goal of the second century of struggle.
Fully appreciate complexity. On the new journey, my country’s development is facing new strategic opportunities, new strategic tasks, new strategic stages, new strategic requirements, and a new strategic environment. The risks and challenges that need to be dealt with, and the contradictions and problems that need to be resolved are more intricate than ever. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of my country pointed out: “Our country’s reform, development and stability are faced with many deep-seated contradictions that cannot be avoided or circumvented. External suppression and containment may escalate at any time. my country’s development has entered a period of strategic opportunities and risks and challenges, and uncertainties and unpredictable factors are increasing. Various ‘black swan’ and ‘grey rhinoceros’ events may occur at any time.” Complicated risks and challenges, Contradictions and problems put forward higher requirements for the great struggle.
Fully realize the difficulty. We are closer than ever to the goal of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. But we must also realize that the closer we get to national rejuvenation, the less smooth sailing it will be, the more risks and challenges we will face, and even unimaginable storms. It can be said that what we are in now is a time when boats are traveling more quickly in the middle of the country, and people are traveling more steeply in the middle of the mountain. . We must dare to fight, be good at fighting, effectively deal with major challenges, resist major risks, overcome major resistance, resolve major contradictions, and solve major problems. When endangering the leadership of the Communist Party of China and my country’s socialist system, endangering my country’s sovereignty, security, and development interests, endangering my country’s core interests and major principles, endangering the fundamental interests of our people, and endangering my country’s realization of the second centenary goal and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation When various risks and challenges come, we must dare to attack, dare to face difficulties, and dare to fight to win.

Confidence comes from the majestic power of the united struggle of the people of the whole country. Unity and struggle are the only way for the Chinese people to create great historical achievements. All achievements of the party and the people are the result of united struggle, which is the most significant spiritual symbol of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people.

On the new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and marching towards the second centenary goal, we must increase our sense of urgency, adhere to bottom-line thinking, strengthen our will to fight, strengthen our fighting skills, and use correct strategic strategies to respond to the situation and cultivate new opportunities. , Open a new game, rely on tenacious struggle to open up new horizons for career development, and constantly strive for new victories in the great struggle of the new era.

The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out: “We must increase our sense of urgency, adhere to the bottom-line thinking, be prepared for danger in times of peace, plan ahead, and be prepared to withstand the major test of high winds and even stormy waves.” Facing the turbulent international situation, complex and sensitive Given the surrounding environment and the arduous task of reform, development and stability, it is necessary to take precautions and plan ahead. It is better to think about the situation more complicated, to see the challenges more severe, to estimate the difficulties more fully, and to be prepared to deal with complex situations. Maintain a high degree of vigilance at all times, not only to be highly vigilant against “black swan” incidents, but also to guard against “gray rhinoceros” incidents; not only to take the lead in preventing risks, but also to have a good way to deal with and defuse risks and challenges; to prevent and resist In the prepared war against risks, it is also necessary to fight a strategic initiative war to turn danger into safety and turn danger into opportunity.

Try to overcome the lack of ability and panic, actively participate in the front line of the struggle, be good at learning to fight in the struggle, firmly grasp the initiative in the struggle, and strive to hand in excellent answers on the new road to the exam with tenacious fighting spirit and superb fighting skills.
Strengthen strategic self-confidence and maintain strategic focus. Strategic issues are the fundamental issues of a political party and a country.
