Standards for Good Officials in the New Era
At a national meeting on organizational work on June 28, 2013, Xi Jinping summarized five standards to assess good officials: They must be firm in their ideals and convictions, be committed to serving the people, be diligent in work, be ready to take on responsibilities, and be clean and upright.
Being firm in their ideals and convictions requires that Party officials have a strong sense of Party principles, always check themselves against the Party constitution and the norms for Party members, embrace a correct worldview, outlook on life and values, cherish the ideals of communism, and strive to work for socialism with Chinese characteristics.
Being committed to serving the people means that Party officials maintain close ties with the people, learn about the true conditions of the people, take a people-oriented approach in handling problems and making decisions, fulfill the Party mission of serving the people wholeheartedly, and check all their actions against this set of standards.
Being diligent in work requires Party officials to learn Marxist theory, especially theories on socialism with Chinese characteristics, and enrich their knowledge in order to better perform their duties. They must also be dedicated to their work in a down-to-earth, realistic and pragmatic manner, and tackle the problems that concern the people most and prompt the strongest public reaction.
Being ready to take on responsibilities reflects Party officials’ adherence to principles, sense of responsibility, courage to take on heavy tasks, initiative to reform, innovation, setting a personal example, and willingness to sacrifice themselves to the interests of the people.
To remain clean and upright, Party officials have to often engage in self-examination, be honest in their conduct, be down-to-earth in their work, maintain their integrity as Communists, and never cross the line of Party discipline.
Through commitment to these standards, the process of selecting and appointing officials has improved in recent years.
新時期好干部標準
2013年6月28日，習(xí)近平在全國組織工作會議上，提出了“好干部”的“五條標準”：即信念堅定、為民服務(wù)、勤政務(wù)實、敢于擔(dān)當、清正廉潔。信念堅定，要求干部不斷加強黨性修養(yǎng)，時刻用黨章、用中共黨員標準要求自己，樹立正確的世界觀、人生觀、價值觀，堅定共產(chǎn)主義遠大理想，為中國特色社會主義而奮斗。為民服務(wù)，要求干部密切聯(lián)系群眾，深入基層、深入實際、深入群眾，想問題、做決策、干工作，都要以人民群眾為導(dǎo)向，時刻踐行全心全意為人民服務(wù)的宗旨，并以此為標準衡量自己所作所為的價值所在。勤政務(wù)實，要求干部認真學(xué)習(xí)馬克思主義理論特別是中國特色社會主義理論體系，豐富知識儲備，完善知識結(jié)構(gòu)，打牢履職盡責(zé)的知識基礎(chǔ)，以求真務(wù)實、真抓實干的精神，著力解決群眾最關(guān)心、反映最強烈的問題。敢于擔(dān)當，要求干部堅持原則、認真負責(zé)，敢于擔(dān)負重任，敢于改革創(chuàng)新，身先士卒、率先垂范，為人民群眾的利益犧牲自己。清正廉潔，要求干部時刻自省自勵，老實做人，踏實做事，清白為官，永葆共產(chǎn)黨員的純潔本色，做到高壓線不碰、紅線不越、底線不丟。近年來，上述五條標準得到了很好地貫徹執(zhí)行，中國的選人用人狀況和風(fēng)氣明顯好轉(zhuǎn)。
