This Party class was structured around three key themes: upholding the Party’s spirit, observing Party discipline and rules, and examining case studies. It underscored that the comprehensive and rigorous governance of the Party is an ongoing endeavor; that Party regulations—both internal and external—must be firmly memorized; and that certain painful lessons must serve as constant warnings. Secretary Zhou Na emphasized that, as newly appointed staff, it is essential to maintain unwavering integrity and self-discipline, to get off to a strong start in one’s career by “buttoning the first button” correctly, to exercise strict self-control, to steadfastly uphold ethical and legal red lines, and to nip problems in the bud.
Secretary Zhou Na emphasized that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the central authorities have consistently pursued a zero-tolerance policy, cracking down on both “tigers” and “flies.” As of December 2022, disciplinary inspection and supervision organs nationwide had filed more than 4.648 million cases, including investigations into 553 officials under central management, as well as disciplinary actions against over 25,000 department- and bureau-level officials and more than 182,000 county- and division-level officials. This clearly demonstrates the Party and the government’s unwavering commitment and formidable resolve in combating corruption.
Secretary Zhou Na concluded by emphasizing that, in their future work, everyone will inevitably encounter a wide array of temptations. It is imperative to steadfastly uphold ethical boundaries and practice integrity in one’s professional conduct; for once a blemish is sullied, it can never be fully washed away. The line between integrity and corruption is razor-thin—just one misplaced thought can tip the balance, separating black from white by a single thread. As newly appointed professionals with limited experience and insufficient social acumen, you are particularly susceptible to being misled by personal relationships and worldly conventions. Therefore, it is all the more important to exercise vigilance at the very beginning and in the smallest details, to diligently cultivate self-discipline and moral refinement, and to fasten the first button of your career and life with utmost care and precision. Regular self-reflection and constant effort to remove inner dust will help fortify your first line of defense and establish a positive professional image.
