The meeting stressed that since the beginning of this year, the Party Central Committee, with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, has united and led the entire Party and people of all ethnic groups throughout the country to respond calmly, face up to difficulties, promote epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, deepen reform and opening up and respond to external pressure, do a good job in the "six stability" work, implement the "six guarantees" task, and win a decisive battle against poverty. Through painstaking efforts, major strategic achievements have been made in the prevention and control of the epidemic, economic growth has taken the lead in turning from negative to positive, the task of poverty alleviation has been completed on schedule, new progress has been made in all aspects of work, and the overall social situation has remained stable. The 13th Five-Year Plan has been successfully concluded and great historic achievements have been made in building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way. In dealing with major risks and challenges and promoting major work, the political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee consciously strengthened its own construction and gave full play to the political advantages of the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee.

The meeting held that the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has played a decisive role in leading the entire party and the people of all ethnic groups in overcoming risks and challenges rarely seen in history and striving to advance the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. 2020 is a very unusual year in the history of New China, the history of the Chinese nation, and the history of mankind. The sudden onset of the neo-coronary pneumonia epidemic, the occurrence of floods in many places, the impact on economic development, the high external environment, the political, economic, cultural, military, social, international, natural and other fields of challenge. At the critical moment of Mount Tai, the Party Central Committee showed great foresight, judged the hour and size up the situation, and led the whole party, the whole army and the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country to face up to difficulties and overcome difficulties, creating an extremely unusual glory in this extremely unusual year. Comrades of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee believe that practice has once again proved that leadership is the most critical condition at major historical juncture and in the face of major tests, and that the judgment, decision-making, and action of the Party Central Committee play a decisive role. Firmly safeguarding the core position of General Secretary Xi Jinping's Party Central Committee and the core position of the whole party, and firmly safeguarding the authority and centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee are the fundamental guarantee for winning a decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and winning a new victory in building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. Comrades of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee should set a good example in strengthening the "Four Consciousness", strengthening the "four self-confidence" and achieving the "two maintenance", so as to ensure that the Party Central Committee always becomes a strong leading collective trusted by the party and the people.

The meeting stressed that Xi Jinping's thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era has a distinct character of practicality, the times, and creativity, and is the theoretical crystallization of all the practices of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. it is a scientific guide to promote the continuous development of the cause of the party and the state in the new era. The whole party must persist in arming the mind, guiding practice, and promoting work with this scientific theory, and continue to create new prospects for career development. Comrades of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee must set an example for the whole party in learning, understanding and practice, constantly learning, practicing and understanding, and constantly improving their theoretical and political literacy, so as to make the party's innovative theory a powerful spiritual weapon for understanding and transforming the world. It is necessary to enhance political awareness, maintain political determination, grasp political direction, assume political responsibility, improve political ability, dare to struggle, be good at struggle, overcome difficulties, blaze new trails, and work better for the party and the people.

The meeting pointed out that since the Politburo meeting of the Central Committee in December 2012 reviewed and approved the Eight Regulations of the Eighteenth Politburo on Improving Work Style and Keeping Close Contact with the Masses, through unremitting efforts, we have stopped some that were considered impossible in the past. The unhealthy trends that were stopped have solved some stubborn diseases that have long been wanted to solve but failed to solve, and the party style and political style have taken on a new look. The Party Central Committee has taken solving the outstanding problems of formalism and bureaucracy and reducing the burden on the grassroots as the focus of work style construction, focusing on reducing the burden on the grassroots, implementing precise policies and targeted treatments, and has played a combination of punches and received good results. At the same time, we must also see that the root cause of the "four winds" problem has not been eliminated and the soil is still there. We must use the determination of the horse not to leave the saddle and the rein not to let go, with the tenacity of repeated grasping and grasping, and the spirit of nailing nails. The eight regulations and their implementation rules, the rectification of the "four winds", the implementation of various regulations to reduce the burden on the grassroots, and establish a sound long-term. In particular, the comrades of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee should continue to work hard to take the lead and set an example for the whole party.
