Comrades from the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee made speeches one by one. Centering on the theme of the meeting, and referring to the Regulations on Discipline of the CPC, the Several Provisions of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee on Strengthening and Maintaining the Centralized and Unified Leadership of the CPC Central Committee, and the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Eight Provisions of the CPC Central Committee by the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, they carefully investigated, deeply analyzed, openly and honestly met, and the atmosphere was serious and lively. The expected results were achieved.The speech of comrades from the Central Political Bureau focuses on five key points.

The meeting stressed that since this year, in the face of challenges posed by domestic and international situations, the CPC Central Committee has united and led the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups in calmly responding and comprehensively implementing policies, successfully completing the main goals and tasks of economic and social development, and taking new and solid steps towards Chinese path to modernization.

These achievements are hard won.
Comrades of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee unanimously believe that the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core is the fundamental guarantee for doing all work well, ensuring that the Chinese style modernization ship sails steadily and steadily. The whole party must deeply understand the decisive significance of the "two consolidations", enhance the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four confidences", achieve the "two safeguards", and resolutely implement the Party Central Committee's policies and work arrangements.
He pointed out that the democratic life meeting of the Central Political Bureau was very effective, achieving the purpose of exchanging ideas, examining problems, and clarifying directions, which is conducive to enhancing unity, improving work, and fulfilling missions of the Central Political Bureau.
Xi Jinping emphasized that this party discipline study and education has focused on solving the problems of some party members and cadres not paying attention to, understanding, and mastering party rules and discipline. It has promoted party organizations and leadership teams at all levels to strictly strengthen the construction of party discipline, and encouraged party members and cadres to consciously be loyal, clean, and responsible, achieving significant results. The discipline and self-discipline awareness of the vast number of party members and cadres have been effectively enhanced, and the endogenous driving force for taking responsibility and entrepreneurship has been further stimulated. The strict tone, measures, and atmosphere have been further strengthened, and the effectiveness of rectifying formalism in reducing the burden on the grassroots has been further demonstrated.
Xi Jinping pointed out that with good Party spirit cultivation and strong Party spirit, one will be more conscious of abiding by Party discipline. Leading cadres should regard the cultivation of party spirit and the improvement of ideological consciousness as lifelong tasks, and continue to learn and cultivate until old age. We should prioritize political cultivation over party spirit cultivation, draw nourishment from the innovative theories of the Party, and make learning, observing, and implementing the Party Constitution, rules, and discipline an important part of party spirit cultivation. Comrades of the Central Political Bureau must adhere to the strict standards of Marxist politicians, take the lead in learning the Party's innovative theories, implement democratic centralism, carry out criticism and self-criticism, strictly abide by the Party's discipline and rules, promote the Party's fine traditions and style, truly achieve unwavering ideals and beliefs, be loyal to the Party, and selflessly dedicate themselves to the cause of the Party and the people.
Xi Jinping emphasized that the discipline of the Party has both educational and motivational functions. The discipline of the Party and the pursuit of work and entrepreneurship are inherently unified. Discipline not only clarifies the bottom line and boundaries that cannot be crossed, but also provides action guidelines for Party members and cadres to work cleanly and boldly. By following rules and regulations, one will have full freedom and broad space for entrepreneurship. Comrades of the Central Political Bureau should set a benchmark and set an example. They should not only become models of compliance, discipline, and entrepreneurship, but also establish clear guidance, support and encourage those who dare to take on responsibilities, and promote the formation of a vivid situation of forging ahead and striving for excellence.
Xi Jinping pointed out that the discipline of the Party has set a bottom line and restricted areas for the correct exercise of power and the prevention of abuse of power for personal gain. It is a safety barrier for Party members and cadres to maintain integrity and honesty. Respecting and abiding by discipline can resist corrosion and the invasion of a hundred poisons. As long as the soil and conditions that breed corruption still exist, the fight against corruption will always be on the road. We must be extremely clear headed and resolute in the fight against corruption, never slack off, and never be soft handed. Comrades of the Central Political Bureau shoulder heavy responsibilities and must demand more from themselves, and be even more cautious about the power among their opponents. We must strengthen the construction of party conduct and clean governance in the areas under our jurisdiction or in the areas where we are in charge, resolutely fight against various unhealthy practices and corrupt phenomena, and strengthen the education and management of family members and staff around us.
Party committees (party groups) at all levels should bear the main responsibility, party organization secretaries should fulfill the duties of the first person in charge, and other members of the leadership team should fulfill the "dual responsibilities of one position", with one level leading one level, to promote the continuous achievement of new results in the construction of party discipline. Comrades of the Central Political Bureau should effectively shoulder the political responsibility of the Party's discipline construction, timely and comprehensively understand the situation of discipline construction in their respective fields or main political areas, dare to manage and strictly manage issues within their scope of responsibilities, and be responsible for being leaders, executors, and promoters of strengthening the Party's discipline construction.
Xi Jinping emphasized in the end that the task of reform, development, and stability next year is extremely heavy. Leaders at all levels should go deep into the grassroots and the masses, strengthen investigation and research, clarify the urgent and difficult needs of the people, identify prominent problems that urgently need to be solved at the grassroots level, and study and solve them in a targeted manner.
