Throughout the 340 years history of world party politics and the 170 years history of socialist party politics,the governing capacity of a political party is the key driving force for the survival and development of a political party,whether it is an election-competitive governing party in a capitalist country or a mission-oriented governing party in a socialist country.From the 1980s to the beginning of the 21st century,the profound historical lessons of the loss of governing status of some political parties in the world show that whether it is a party that came to power through peaceful elections or a party that seized power through revolutionary means,under the conditions of long-term governance,the governing ability will be deteriorated due to the rigidity of the governing concept,the shrinking of the governing foundation and the backwardness of the governing style.The degeneration of a party's governing ability will not only lead to the governing legitimacy crisis of the governing party,but also bring the danger of losing its governing status.As a century old huge party and the largest governing party in the world,the Communist Party of China needs to take history as a mirror,seriously consider and attach great importance to the "Historical Periodicity" of the rise and fall of political parties in power.Under the condition of long-term governance,the party must focus on strengthening the construction of the party's governing capacity which is the main line of the party's great project construction,and constantly improve the party's governing capacity,so as to effectively resolve and resist the governing risks and challenges,and effectively deal with the "Black Swan" and "Grey Rhino"incidents.Which is help to avoid making subversive mistakes.The governing status of the Communist Party of China originates from history and the people's choice,but what does not mean that it is done once and for all.At present,the "four major tests" and "four risks" faced by the party's governance indicate that the party's governance security issues are still outstanding.Whether the party can solve the problem of the "Historical Periodicity" of the rise and fall of party governance,escape the "Tacitus trap" of party governance and the "Middle-income trap" of social and economic development etc.,still needs to be tortured and tested by the times.Therefore,under the background that the situation of the world,the country and the party has undergone major changes,strengthening the construction of the party's governing capacity and enhancing the party's long-term governing capacity are the key and top priority to consolidate and maintain the party's long-term governing status.As a long-term governing party for a century,from the establishment to the governing,the party's governing concept and governing style are constantly developing,innovating and improving due to the progress of the times.The party's governing foundation and governing status have also been increasingly consolidated.Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era.The new central leadership group with Xi Jinping as its core is further innovating and developing the party's governing concept,improving the party's governing style and continuing to build the governing foundation of the party in line with the new situation,new changes,new problems,new risks and new challenges faced by the party in power.At the same time,based on the party's scientific judgment of its historical position,it creatively puts forward the major thesis of "strengthening the construction of the party's long-term governing capacity",which requires the whole party to keep in mind its original mission,continuously promote self-revolution,and comprehensively strengthen the party's governance capacity,Strengthen the party's governing capacity and actively promote the party's governing transformation.As a governing party,the Communist Party of China not only has the general attributes and functions of a political party,but also has its own particularity.This particularity determines that the construction of the party's governing capacity and the party's governing transformation are two sides of one thing.The construction of the party's governing capacity promotes the party's governing transformation,which puts forward new requirements for the construction of the party's governing capacity.Therefore,when investigating the construction of the party's governing capacity and the party's governing transformation,one must be clear about the differences and relations between the party and the governing party,the party's leadership and governing,the party's leadership and governing capacity,the party's construction and the party's governing capacity construction,etc.We should fully grasp the law of the development of world party politics,the governing law of proletarian party and the law of socialist country construction.Second,we must constantly strengthen the construction of the party's governing capacity around the three core elements.Among the three core elements,the governing concept is the soul of the party's governing capacity construction,which aims to focus on solving the problem of who is in power;the governing foundation is the foundation of the party's governing capacity construction,which aims to clarify who is in power;the governing style is the concrete embodiment of the party's governing capacity construction,which mainly answers the problem of how to be in power.The third is to be very clear about its theoretical foundation and theoretical starting point.As the governing party of Marxism,the theory of Party construction of Marxism is its theoretical foundation and starting point.The theory of governing capacity construction of the Communist Party of China is an innovative theoretical achievement of Sinicization of Marxism.It is of great significance to clarify the basic theory,basic connotation and constituent elements of the construction of the party's governing capacity from the theoretical level,so as to find out why the party can govern for a long time,what it relies on for long-term governance,and how to continue to govern well in the future.If the Communist Party of China takes power from the opening up of rural revolutionary areas and carrying out local governing activities,it is can be roughly divided into four periods:The construction of the governing capacity of the Communist Party of China in the partial governing period(1927-1949);the construction of the governing capacity of the Communist Party of China after fully governing period(1949-1978);the construction of the governing capacity of the Communist Party of China since Reform and Opening Up(1978-2012);the construction of governing capacity of the Communist Party of China since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party(2012-).From the failure of the Great Revolution to the founding of New China,it was the party's partial governing period.In the past 22 years of local governing practice,the party has accumulated rich local governing experience and Party construction experience,cultivated and reserved a group of rare governing talents for the party's governing,and made full preparations and laid a solid foundation for the party's governing.At the same time,in the party's more than 22 years of partial governing practice,due to the long-term armed revolutionary struggle based on the rural areas,it has partially shaped the party's particularity in ideology and governing beliefs.This particularity has had an important impact on the party's leadership style and governing style after it took power.From the early days of the founding of new China to the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China,under the leadership of the party,China's economy has rapidly recovered and developed,the social order became increasingly stable,the party's governing status became increasingly stable,and the party's governing has achieved remarkable historical results.The Eighth National Congress of the CPC summarized the experiences and shortcomings of the past seven years in power,and clarified the main contradictions in China's social development and the direction of socialist modernization.However,the subsequent development of the"Left" guiding ideology within the party and the serious misjudgment of the class struggle situation inside and outside the party led to the formation of the wrong line of"taking class struggle as the key link".Therefore,through frequent mass political movements and the elimination of "class enemies" inside and outside the party,it became an important task and main method for the party to run and manage the country at that time.Especially from the expansion of anti-rightism in 1957 to the end of the Cultural Revolution in 1976,in the context of the intensified class struggle and mass political movement,the power of the party and the state was over-concentrated,the power of the party as the governing party gradually alienated,and the party tended to be nationalized.The tendency of the party nationalization is becoming more and more obvious,and finally and eventually evolved into the party's behalf.After two years of hesitation,under the control of alienated class struggle thinking and movement thinking,the party's governing capacity and leadership level were seriously weakened,and the development of the party and the country suffered major setbacks and losses.The root reasons are that,firstly,the party was in the harsh environment of revolutionary struggle in the countryside for a long time.After the party took full charge of the state power,it was still accustomed to using the class struggle thinking and movement mode in the revolutionary war years to govern the country.Second,as the governing party,in order to consolidate the new people's political power and governing status,the party hopes to complete the task of social revolution simply by continuing to maintain its revolutionary nature,quality and spirit,and carrying forward the fine revolutionary tradition.However,as the governing party,the radical style of eliminating class enemies during the revolutionary war to solve the contradictions among the people during the period of socialist peaceful construction is not only the lack of governing experience,but also the lack of governing capacity.What it ultimately brings is not the reasonable and orderly development of socialist modernization,but the growth and spread of "Left" erroneous ideas inside and outside the party.Its direct manifestation is that the class struggle and the mass political movement are excessively strengthened and inappropriately used.In 1978,the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee held.It marks that China has entered a new period of construction socialism with Chinese characteristics,and it also that the party's governing and governing capacity construction has entered a new period of transformation and development.The great administrative setbacks experienced by the party before the reform and opening up strengthened the party's belief in advancing reform and opening up.Through the discussion that "practice is the only standard for testing truth",the party has restored the ideological line of "seeking truth from facts";through taking the chaos into consideration,the party resolutely ends "taking class struggle as the key link",and establishes the correct route of "taking economic construction as the core" and "carrying out socialist modernization".At the same time,it also makes the party fully aware that only by firmly grasping the main line of the construction of the party's governing capacity,can the party be built into a vigorous Marxist governing party with the courage to self-revolution,leading the trend of the times,being wholeheartedly supported by the people,resisting the risk and challenges.Since the reform and opening up,the party has been in consideration of the heavy price due to the trampling of democracy and the legal system during the period of socialist revolution and construction,and the experience and lessons of some foreign governing parties losing their governing status due to the decline in their governing capacity.Combined with the ever-changing governing environment and situation at home and abroad at that time,the party hopes to correctly handle and standardize the relationship between the party and the government by continuously promoting the deepening of reform,strengthening the governing consciousness,innovating the governing concept,improving the governing style,consolidating the governing foundation,and improving the governing capacity.And gradually promote the party from a party that is accustomed to using the radical thinking and methods of eradicating class enemies in the revolutionary war years to govern the country,to always maintain its own revolutionary,advanced,and pure nature,focus on the realization of the "four selves",and uphold the rule of law and system,what comprehensively lead the transformation of the party to promote the modernization of national governance.Therefore,at the beginning of reform and opening up,the party began to focus on restoring and reconstruction the party and state systems,and paid more attention to the construction of the socialist legal system.Its goal is to establish a sound socialist legal system and establish a strong national legal and institutional authority,and use a sound system and a scientific legal system to regulate the operation of power,reduce the rent-seeking space of power,and truly ensure that power is used by the people and realize the rule of law,science and democracy,while ensuring that socialist democracy is more institutionalized and legalized.Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China,socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era,and the world has undergone major changes unseen in a century.Facing the new governing environment and the test of administration,the new era has put forward new requirements for the party to maintain its advanced nature and purity under the long-term governing conditions.On the basis of rich governing experience and learning from the experience and lessons that some governing parties in the world have lost their governing status due to the decline of governing capacity.The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proceeded from the in-depth promotion of comprehensive and strict governance of the party,and put forward the important thesis of "strengthening the construction of the party's long-term governing ability" at an appropriate time.This is not only the party's positive response to the "four major tests" and "four dangers" in the new era,but also the best embodiment of actively promoting the modernization of national governance and the transformation of governance.Standing in the new historical position,the party is in combination with the major social contradictions in China which has undergone major changes and is still in the primary stage of socialism for a long time.Based on the basic national conditions,the party adheres to the principle of taking the people as the center and strengthening the party's long-term governing capacity in the new era.It comprehensively innovates the party's governing concept,builds a strong governing foundation and improves the party's governing style.What we should strengthen the party's governing ability and continue to promote the party's transformation to a modern governance type governing party.In the new era,the party lead to promotes the modernization of national governance.The ultimate goal is to completely eradicate the"Left" pan-politicization movement from arbitrarily trampling on the party and state systems,laws and regulations,and put more emphasis on upholding and improving the socialist rule of law and system.Focus on construction a country under the rule of law,a government under the rule of law,and a society under the rule of law,and jointly promote the rule of law,rule by law,and administer according to law,so as to realize the"the rule of system" through governing the party with system,governing the country by system,and restricting power with system.At the same time,from the perspective of the modernization of national governance,party science,law-based,and democratic governance is to change the past almost entirely dominated by the party and government,relying too much on party and government policies and bureaucratic departments from top to bottom.The vertical management and administrative order to govern the country.The emphasis is to emphasize the party's role as the governing party's core leadership in overall situation,coordinating all parties,the joint participation of multiple subjects,and the horizontal coordination and vertical linkage of network governance subjects.As the governing party,in advancing the modernization process of national governance,the party needs to pay more attention to uniting all forces to draw the largest concentric circle,satisfying multiple demands,and safeguarding the interests of all parties.It is more willing to take the initiative to adopt joint consultations,broaden participation channels,and listen to the voice of the people.Make policies scientifically,strengthen implementation supervision,etc.,to ensure and satisfy the people's sense of security,happiness,and sense of gain.By investigating the experience of the construction of the CPC's governing capacity,we can find that whether a party can achieve long-term governing and effective governing depends on whether it can continuously strengthen the construction of the governing capacity due to the changes of the times,and then promote its own adaptive reforms reasonably and effectively.For the Communist Party of China,because of its special role in the cause of China's socialist modernization,on the basis of fully learning the party's past governing experience and lessons,as well as the profound historical lessons of some foreign political parties,especially the Communist Party of the Soviet Union,who lost their governing status due to the degradation of governing capacity.In the new era,to strengthen the construction of the party's governing capacity,we must continue to do the following.First,we must always adhere to the people-centered approach and stick to the party's governing philosophy.Adhering to the people-centered principle is the background of the party's governance,the driving force for advancing the transformation of governance,and the essence of socialist democratic politics.Second,it is necessary to actively change the governance system and improve the party's governance style.Perfecting the restriction mechanism to supervise the operation of power is the guarantee,strengthening the party system that regulates the operation of power is the goal,and constructing the public opinion system to guide the operation of power is the direction.Third,it is necessary to accurately grasp the internal and external situations and consolidate the party's governing foundation.In the new era,the party must always adhere to the organic unity of governing the country according to law and governing the party according to regulations,must always adhere to the establishment of reform,innovation and self-revolution,and always adhere to the mission of scientific development as the first priority.Fourth,there is to construct a scientific evaluation system to forge the party's governing talents.The key to the success of China's affairs lies in the Party and its people."People"are leading cadres at all levels of the party and government.To strengthen the governing ability of party and government cadres at all levels and to forge the governing talent team of the party,we should always adhere to the good cadre standards in the new era,continuously improve the cadre capacity evaluation index system,improve the cadre capacity evaluation and evaluation methods,and scientifically use the cadre capacity evaluation results.In order to form a virtuous circle of talent selection and use of talents and political ecology,so that those who are truly capable of doing things will stand out.Fifth,it is necessary to strengthen the party's overall leadership and be firm in the correct direction of governance.To strengthen the party's overall leadership,we must firmly safeguard the authority of the Party Central Committee and centralized and unified leadership,comprehensively enhance the consciousness and steadfastness of political construction,and use the system to ensure that the party's leadership is maximized.Only in these style can the party continuously improve the comprehensive capacity and level of governance in the new era,better grasp the two overall situations,and then can smoothly advance China's socialist modernization and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
