时、势、事:打铁还需自身硬的时代背景——学习习近平总书记关于党的建设系列讲话精神

On Timing, Tendency and Responsibility for the Backdrop against the Saying: to Forge Iron, You Need a Strong Hammer——Study of the Series Speeches for Party's Construction by General Secretary Xi Jinping

党的十八大以来,习近平总书记针对新形势下我们党的自身建设面临的一系列新情况新问题新挑战,提出了打铁还需自身硬的管党治党新要求。这一要求的提出主要基于三个方面的现实考量:一是"时",即党所处的历史方位的变化;二是"势",即党所面临的现实形势的挑战;三是"事",即党所肩负的责任使命的担当。三者集中起作用,决定了治国必先治党、治党务必从严,只有不断提高党的领导水平和执政水平、提高拒腐防变和抵御风险能力,才能使我们党在世界形势深刻变化的历史进程中始终走在时代前列,在应对国内外各种风险和考验的历史进程中始终成为全国人民的主心骨,在坚持和发展中国特色社会主义的历史进程中始终成为坚强领导核心。

Since the 18th CPC National Congress, Xi Jinping, our CPC General Secretary put forward the new requirement that you need a strong hammer to forge iron, aiming at a series of new challenges, new situation and new problems faced by own Party construction. This requirement is based on three main practical considerations, first is ＂timing＂, i.e., the change of the Par- ty＇s historical position; second is ＂tendency＂, namely challenges from the reality faced by the Party; third is ＂responsibility＂, that is, to fulfill the mission and responsibility of the Party. These three factors together determine that the country＇s ruling is decided by the Party＇ s governing, thus the party must be strictly administered. Only by constantly improving the level of the party＇ s lead- ership and the ruling level, enhancing its ability to resist corruption and risks, can the Party remain in the front of the time with the profound changes of the world＇s situation in the process of history, become the mainstay of our nation in response to various risks and the tests of history at home and abroad, become a strong core of leadership in the process of upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics.
