Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, our Party has put forward the important assertion of “adhering to and strengthening the Party’s overall leadership”, which involves four major aspects: the major assertion of “three most”, which clarifies the Party’s overall leadership at the cognitive level and reveals the extreme importance of adhering to and strengthening the Party’s overall leadership; the major assertion of “the Party exercising overall leadership” puts forward, at the practical level, that the Party’s overall leadership must be carried out in all realms and respects, revealing the specific requirements of adhering to and strengthening the Party’s overall leadership in the new era; the major assertion of “the Party commanding the overall situation and coordinating the efforts of all quarters” puts forward the path of the Party’s overall leadership at the operational level and reveals the methodology of adhering to and strengthening the Party’s overall leadership in the new era; the major assertion of “adhering to and improving the Party’s leadership system” puts forward the institutional requirements of adhering to and strengthening the Party’s overall leadership at the main body level and reveals that in the new era, the Party’s overall leadership must be ensured in the form of system. In the new era, to adhere to and strengthen the Party’s overall leadership is neither to deny the “unified leadership of the Party” nor to go back to the old way, but to adhere to innovation on the basis of what has worked in the past, to improving the Party’s leadership system, and to ensuring that the Party’s governance is more effective.
