China-Finland Ties - Li Qiang Warns: Discipline Work Will Only Become Stricter - Henan Party Chief on Advancing 'High-Efficiency Governance' - China-Russia Defense Ministers' Call
Here are the key reports and articles from the People’s Daily’s edition on Wednesday, January 28, 2026.
Page 1: Let’s begin with the report on Xi Jinping’s meeting with Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo. The official readout says:
“President Xi underlined the historical foundation of China-Finland friendship and trust. He said that, as China embarks on its 15th Five-Year Plan for economic and social development this year and continues to promote high-quality development and expand high-standard opening up, China and Finland should deepen mutually beneficial cooperation and nurture more fruits in areas such as energy transition, the circular economy, agriculture and forestry, and scientific and technological innovation. He encouraged Finnish businesses to dive into the vast ocean of China’s market to gain global competitiveness. Turning to winter sports, President Xi said Finland is a global leader and China has a huge number of participants, and the two countries should work more closely with each other to bolster ties in winter sports. He also welcomed more Finnish citizens to visit and experience China, a land of ancient heritage and modern vibes. Pointing to a world facing various risks and challenges, President Xi stated that a collective response from the international community is essential, and major countries, in particular, should take the lead in upholding equality, the rule of law, cooperation and integrity. He expressed China’s readiness to work with Finland to firmly uphold the U.N.-centered international system and the international order underpinned by international law, respond to global challenges together, and promote an equal and orderly multipolar world and a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization. President Xi shared his view that China and the EU are partners, not rivals, and their cooperation and common ground far outweigh their competition and differences. He expressed the hope for Finland to play its constructive role in promoting the healthy and steady development of China-Europe relations.”
As per the readout, among other things, Orpo said:
“Finland is committed to the one-China policy, commends China for its remarkable achievements in development, and appreciates China’s important and constructive role in international affairs. He said Finland is ready to strengthen communication and coordination with China to jointly uphold world peace and stability. He noted the importance of constructive EU-China relations and said that Finland advocates European strategic autonomy, supports free trade, and stands ready to play an active role in facilitating the proper settlement of trade frictions between the EU and China and the sound development of EU-China relations.”
During his visit to Beijing, Orpo also met with Li Qiang and Zhao Leji. It’s interesting that that report on Zhao’s meeting with Orpo is on the front page, but the report on the meeting with Li is on Page 2. This is despite the fact that the Li meeting was more substantive. I presume this is an editorial call since there’s already a much more important report featuring Li on the page.
Anyway, the report on the Li-Orpo meeting says:
Li said that last year, China and Finland jointly celebrated the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations. This morning, President Xi Jinping met with Prime Minister Orpo, profoundly summarising the valuable experience of the healthy and stable development of bilateral relations and providing strategic guidance for further deepening China-Finland relations and cooperation. China is willing to work with Finland to carry forward the traditional friendship between the two countries, adhere to mutual respect and equal treatment, and promote the continuous deepening and strengthening of the future-oriented, new-type cooperative partnership between China and Finland, bringing more benefits to the people of both countries. 李强表示,去年,中芬共同庆祝了建交75周年。今天上午,习近平主席同总理先生举行会晤,深刻总结了两国关系健康稳定发展的宝贵经验,为进一步深化中芬关系与合作作出战略指引。中方愿同芬方一道弘扬两国友好传统,坚持相互尊重、平等相待,推动中芬面向未来的新型合作伙伴关系不断走深走实,为两国人民带来更多福祉.
Li Qiang pointed out that this year marks the beginning of China’s 15th Five-Year Plan period. China is willing to further strengthen the alignment of development strategies with Finland, better leverage the complementary advantages of their economies, fully unleash the potential of bilateral trade, and make good use of platforms such as the China-Finland Joint Committee on Science and Technology and high-tech matchmaking meetings to deepen cooperation in areas such as communications, clean technologies, special shipbuilding, new urban construction, and life and health, achieving a higher level of mutual benefit and win-win results. China is willing to import more high-quality products from Finland and encourage more Chinese enterprises to invest in Finland, and hopes that Finland will continue to provide a fair, just, and non-discriminatory business environment for enterprises. The two sides should strengthen cooperation in tourism, language and vocational education, local affairs, youth, and other areas, and continuously enhance mutual understanding and friendship between the peoples of the two countries. At present, unilateralism and protectionism are on the rise around the world, and the global economy is being impacted. China and Finland should work together to safeguard an open and cooperative international economic and trade order, adhere to multilateralism and free trade, maintain the multilateral trading system with the WTO at its core, and better share opportunities and achieve win-win results through open cooperation. It is hoped that Finland will play a positive role in promoting the development of China-EU relations. 李强指出,今年是中国“十五五”开局之年,中方愿同芬方进一步加强发展战略对接,更好发挥经济互补优势,充分释放双边贸易潜力,用好两国科技联委会、高技术对接会等平台,深化通信、清洁技术、特种船舶建造、新型城市建设、生命健康等领域合作,实现更高水平的互利共赢。中方愿进口芬兰更多优质产品,鼓励更多中国企业到芬兰投资,希望芬方继续为企业提供公平、公正、非歧视的营商环境。双方要加强旅游、语言和职业教育、地方、青少年等合作,不断增进两国人民的相互了解和友谊。当前全球单边主义、保护主义抬头,世界经济受到冲击,中芬应当携手维护开放合作的国际经贸秩序,坚持多边主义和自由贸易,维护以世贸组织为核心的多边贸易体制,在开放合作中更好分享机遇、实现共赢。希望芬兰为推动中欧关系发展发挥积极作用.
Orpo is reported to have said:
“The Finnish government welcomes Chinese enterprises to invest and do business in Finland and is willing to create a favourable environment for them. Given the serious challenges facing the current international order, Finland is willing to strengthen communication and coordination with China on multilateral affairs such as climate change and sustainable development, and to safeguard free trade and the multilateral trading system. The sound development of EU-China relations is important to both sides, and Finland is willing to play a constructive role in promoting the development of EU-China relations.” 芬政府欢迎中国企业赴芬投资兴业,愿为此营造良好环境。当前国际秩序面临严峻挑战,芬方愿同中方加强应对气候变化、可持续发展等多边事务的沟通协调,维护自由贸易和多边贸易体制。欧中关系良好发展对双方都很重要,芬方愿为推动欧中关系发展发挥建设性作用.
In terms of deals, agreements were signed in areas such as science and technology, housing and urban-rural development, customs, culture and tourism, economy and trade, and energy.
Next, there’s a report on the State Council holding its fourth meeting on clean governance. Li Qiang was in attendance. Ding Xuexiang presided over the meeting. Vice Premiers He Lifeng, Zhang Guoqing, and Liu Guozhong, and State Councilors Wang Xiaohong, Wu Zhenglong, and Shen Yiqin attended the meeting. Also in attendance were Li Xi, who heads the CCDI, and Liu Jinguo, who heads the National Supervisory Commission.
Li Qiang said that:
It is necessary to adhere to Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as our guide, thoroughly study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 20th CCDI and the spirit of the session, resolutely implement the strategic deployment of comprehensively and strictly governing the Party with higher standards and more practical measures, and unswervingly advance efforts in building a clean government and combating corruption, so as to provide strong guarantees for achieving the goals and tasks of the 15th FYP period. 国务院召开第四次廉政工作会议,中共中央政治局常委、国务院总理李强在会上强调,要坚持以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导,深入学习贯彻习近平总书记在二十届中央纪委五次全会上的重要讲话和全会精神,坚决落实以更高标准、更实举措推进全面从严治党的战略部署,坚定不移推进政府党风廉政建设和反腐败斗争,为实现“十五五”时期目标任务提供坚强保障.
Li pointed out that General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 20th CCDI has provided guidance and fundamental principles for deeply advancing the building of a clean government and the fight against corruption. It is necessary to earnestly unify our thinking and actions with the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech, profoundly understand and grasp the significant judgment that the anti-corruption struggle remains severe and complex, and that the task of eradicating the soil and conditions that breed corruption remains arduous and challenging; profoundly understand and grasp the clear stance that Party discipline and governance will become stricter and stricter as time goes on, and will be strictly enforced to the very end; profoundly understand and grasp the mission requirements of providing a strong guarantee for the realisation of the 15th FYP period’s goals and tasks through comprehensive and strict Party governance; firmly uphold the two establishments and resolutely achieve the two safeguards, and implement the strategic principle of comprehensive and strict Party governance in all aspects and throughout the entire process of government work. 李强指出,习近平总书记在二十届中央纪委五次全会上的重要讲话,为深入推进党风廉政建设和反腐败斗争指明了前进方向、提供了根本遵循。我们要切实把思想和行动统一到习近平总书记重要讲话精神上来,深刻理解和把握反腐败斗争形势仍然严峻复杂、铲除腐败滋生土壤和条件任务仍然艰巨繁重的重大判断,深刻理解和把握管党治党越往后越严、一严到底的鲜明立场,深刻理解和把握以全面从严治党为实现“十五五”时期目标任务提供坚强保障的使命要求,坚定拥护“两个确立”、坚决做到“两个维护”,把全面从严治党战略方针贯彻到政府工作各方面全过程.
Li emphasised that it is necessary to more resolutely and effectively implement the decisions and deployments of the CPC Central Committee, establish and practice a correct view of political achievement, insist on creating achievements for the people and through solid, practical work, consciously act in accordance with objective laws, and do work in a down-to-earth and conscientious manner. It is necessary to focus on implementing the spirit of the Central Committee’s 8-point Regulations to advance the normalisation and long-term effectiveness of work-style construction, deepen the rectification of formalism to reduce grassroots-level burdens, and allow the broad ranks of cadres to free up more energy to focus on implementation and do practical and substantive work. It is necessary to strictly enforce financial discipline, strengthen audit and accounting supervision, and ensure the safe and efficient use of public funds and assets. It is necessary to focus on key areas to effectively curb the frequent occurrence of corruption, deepen the rectification of misconduct and corruption problems affecting the public, and increase efforts to integratively advance making corruption something officials do not dare to engage in, are unable to engage in, and do not want to engage in, and strive to achieve greater progress in addressing both symptoms and root causes. 李强强调,要更加坚决有力贯彻落实党中央决策部署,树立和践行正确政绩观,坚持为人民出政绩、以实干出政绩,自觉按规律办事,踏踏实实把工作做好。要聚焦落实中央八项规定精神推进作风建设常态化长效化,深化整治形式主义为基层减负,让广大干部腾出更多精力来抓落实、干实事。要严肃财经纪律,加强审计监督和财会监督,确保公共资金资产安全高效使用。要紧盯重点领域有力遏制腐败易发多发现象,深化整治群众身边的不正之风和腐败问题,加大一体推进不敢腐、不能腐、不想腐力度,努力在标本兼治上取得更大进展.
Li emphasised that Party leadership groups of governments at all levels and Party leadership groups (Party committees) of all departments must resolutely implement the political responsibility for comprehensively and strictly governing the Party, and truly achieve awareness of responsibility, assumption of responsibility, and fulfilment of responsibility. It is essential to build a dense and solid institutional cage for preventing corruption and promoting integrity, clearly define the boundaries of the exercise of power, and strengthen the rigid constraints of institutions. It is essential to create a favourable environment for entrepreneurship and innovation, vigorously promote a social ethos of integrity, diligence, and practical work, and create better conditions for those who are willing and able to work. We must uphold equal emphasis on diligence and integrity in governance, solidly advance all tasks, ensure a good start and solid first steps for the 15th FYP, and make new and greater contributions to the great cause of building a strong country and achieving national rejuvenation. 李强强调,各级政府党组和各部门党组(党委)要坚决落实全面从严治党政治责任,真正做到知责、担责、履责。要织密织牢防腐促廉的制度笼子,明确权力行使边界,强化制度刚性约束。要营造干事创业的良好环境,大力弘扬清正廉洁、务实重干的社会风尚,为想干事能干事的人创造更好条件。要坚持勤政廉政并重,扎实推进各项工作,确保“十五五”开好局、起好步,为强国建设、民族复兴伟业作出新的更大贡献.
Next, there’s a report on Cai Qi’s speech at the conference on Party work and discipline inspection work within central Party and state organs. The report says:
Cai “emphasised the need to adhere to Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as the guiding principle, thoroughly implement the spirit of the 20th Party Congress and its subsequent plenary sessions; conscientiously implement the deployments of the Fourth Plenary Session, and fully implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speeches and instructions on Party building in government organs; deeply understand the decisive significance of the two establishments, enhance the four consciousnesses, strengthen the four self-confidences, and achieve the two safeguards; take the implementation of the responsibility system for Party building in government organs as the leading driver, take the deepening of model-organ construction as the key lever, uphold the ‘four leading roles’, serve well as the ‘three exemplars’, march well in the first phalanx, promote high-quality development through high-quality Party building, and provide strong guarantees for achieving a good opening to the 15th FYP.” 他强调,要坚持以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导,深入贯彻党的二十大和二十届历次全会精神,认真落实四中全会部署,全面贯彻习近平总书记关于机关党建的重要讲话和重要指示精神,深刻领悟“两个确立”的决定性意义,增强“四个意识”、坚定“四个自信”、做到“两个维护”,以落实机关党建责任制为牵引,以深化模范机关建设为抓手,坚持“四个带头”,当好“三个表率”,走好第一方阵,以高质量党建促进高质量发展,为实现“十五五”良好开局提供坚强保障。
The meeting emphasised that this year marks the 105th anniversary of the founding of the CPC and the beginning of the 15th FYP period. All departments of the central and state organs must persistently strengthen the building of political organs, further highlight the political-organ attribute, continuously use Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to consolidate hearts and forge souls, strictly enforce political discipline and political rules, enhance political execution capacity, and more resolutely and forcefully implement the Party Central Committee’s decisions and deployments. It is necessary to establish and practice a correct view of political achievement, base oneself on departmental duties and missions, adhere to creating achievements for the people and through solid, practical work, improve effective mechanisms for preventing and correcting deviations in the view of political achievement, take the effectiveness of stabilizing growth, promoting development, benefiting the people, and preventing risks as important criteria for evaluation, and strive to create concrete achievements that can withstand the tests of practice, the people, and history. 会议强调,今年是中国共产党成立105周年,是“十五五”开局之年。中央和国家机关各部门要坚持不懈加强政治机关建设,进一步突出政治机关属性,持续用习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想凝心铸魂,严明政治纪律和政治规矩,提高政治执行力,更加坚决有力地贯彻落实党中央决策部署。要树立和践行正确政绩观,立足部门职责使命,坚持为人民出政绩、以实干出政绩,健全有效防范和纠治政绩观偏差工作机制,把稳增长、促发展、惠民生、防风险的实效作为重要检验标准,努力创造经得起实践、人民、历史检验的实绩.
It is necessary to continue to deepen and solidify efforts to address formalism and reduce burdens on grassroots levels, vigorously implement key tasks, promote the ‘six corrective measures’, improve mechanisms for regularly identifying and rectifying problems, and ensure coordinated efforts and integrated rectification from top to bottom. It is necessary to conscientiously study and implement the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 20th CCDI, continuously deepen the fight against corruption and misconduct, consolidate and expand the achievements of the study and education on thoroughly implementing the spirit of the Central Committee’s 8-point regulations, improve power operation mechanisms based on departmental characteristics, fully leverage the supervisory role of Party organizations at all levels within the organs, investigate every case and punish every instance of corruption, deepen the integrated investigation and treatment of misconduct and corruption, and persistently advance comprehensive and strict Party governance. It is necessary to focus on improving the quality of Party-building in subordinate units, comprehensively strengthen the Party’s leadership and Party-building in public institutions, and effectively strengthen Party-building in industry associations and chambers of commerce. It is necessary to conscientiously implement the responsibility system for ideological work and create a favourable public opinion environment. 要继续抓深抓实整治形式主义为基层减负,狠抓重点任务落实,推进“六个纠治”,健全经常性发现问题、整改问题机制,上下联动、一体整改。要认真学习贯彻二十届中央纪委五次全会精神,持续深化正风肃纪反腐,巩固拓展深入贯彻中央八项规定精神学习教育成果,针对部门特点完善权力运行机制,充分发挥机关各级党组织监督作用,有案必查、有腐必惩,深化风腐同查同治,持之以恒推进全面从严治党。要着力提高部门所属单位党建质量,全面加强事业单位党的领导和党的建设,切实加强行业协会商会党的建设。认真落实意识形态工作责任制,营造良好舆论环境.
Also on the page is a brief report on Han Zheng meeting with Malick Ndiaye, the president of the Senegalese National Assembly. Another report on the page informs that China created 12.67 million new urban jobs in 2025.
Page 2: There’s a report on Zhao Leji meeting Senegal’s Malick Ndiaye. Xinhua reports:
Zhao said that “Senegal has publicly reaffirmed its steadfast adherence to the one-China principle, and China highly appreciates this. ‘China will continue to support Senegal in pursuing an independent, autonomous development path,’ he added. Both countries should expand high-quality, mutually beneficial cooperation, and explore their cooperation potential in industrialization and agricultural modernization, trade and investment, new energy, and the digital economy, Zhao said. He called on the two countries to deepen exchange in such areas as culture, education, media, youth, health care, sports and local sectors to strengthen the bonds of friendship between China and Senegal, and between China and Africa. Zhao said that the NPC is willing to work with the Senegalese National Assembly to strengthen exchange and cooperation between high-level legislatures, specialized committees and bilateral friendship groups, as well as between NPC deputies and Senegalese parliamentarians, so as to create a favorable legal environment for practical cooperation between the two countries. He called for close coordination and cooperation within multilateral mechanisms such as the Inter-Parliamentary Union to enhance the voice and representation of countries in the Global South. Ndiaye said that Senegal adheres firmly to the one-China principle, holds the four major global initiatives put forward by China in high esteem, and is ready to continue promoting the development of the Belt and Road Initiative with China, and to strengthen cooperation in various fields.”
Page 3: Just one report to note. Defense Minister Dong Jun spoke to his Russian counterpart Andrei Belousov via video call. The report says:
“Noting that this year marks both the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the China-Russia strategic partnership of coordination and the 25th anniversary of the signing of the China-Russia Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation, Dong expressed China’s readiness to work with Russia to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, enhance strategic coordination, enrich the content of cooperation, improve exchange mechanisms, and jointly enhance the ability to cope with various risks and challenges to inject positive energy into global security and stability. Belousov said Russia is ready to strengthen strategic consultations between the two militaries, deepen practical cooperation in areas such as joint operations and personnel training, and push bilateral strategic cooperation to a higher level.”
Also worth noting that UK PM Keir Starmer and Azerbaijan’s foreign minister Jeyhun Bayramov will be visiting China.
Page 10: There’s an article by Liu Ning, the Party Secretary of Henan Province, on advancing high-efficiency governance as part of balancing high-quality development and high-level security. He writes that:
In advancing Chinese-style modernisation, high-quality development is the primary task, high-level security is an important safeguard, and high-efficiency governance is the key measure for coordinating development and security. From the perspective of high-quality development, whether it is fully stimulating the vitality of various market entities, promoting the efficient allocation of various factors and resources, accelerating high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-strengthening and developing new-quality productive forces, or building a strong domestic market and accelerating the construction of a new development paradigm, all require coordinating the relationship between an effective market and a capable government, and continuously improving the efficiency of economic governance. From the perspective of high-level security, at present and for a period to come, China’s economic and social development is in a phase of profound transformation; changes in the external environment, social structure, and social psychology are bringing new challenges to governance in many fields. In some fields, risk trigger points are numerous, ignition thresholds are low, interconnections are high, and transmission is rapid; in particular, the internet is increasingly becoming the source, transmitter, and amplifier of various types of risk. There is an urgent need to use advanced concepts, advanced technologies, and advanced methods to raise governance effectiveness, and better safeguard political security, social stability, and the peace and tranquility of the people. 推进中国式现代化,高质量发展是首要任务,高水平安全是重要保障,高效能治理是统筹发展和安全的关键之举。从高质量发展看,无论是充分激发各类经营主体活力,还是促进各类要素资源高效配置,无论是加快高水平科技自立自强、发展新质生产力,还是建设强大国内市场、加快构建新发展格局,都需要统筹好有效市场和有为政府的关系,不断提升经济治理效能。从高水平安全看,当前和今后一个时期,我国经济社会发展正处在深度转型期,外部环境、社会结构、社会心理变化给许多领域治理带来新挑战,一些领域风险触点多、燃点低、关联度高、传导快,特别是互联网日益成为各类风险的策源地、传导器、放大器,迫切需要以先进理念、先进技术、先进方法等提高治理效能,更好维护政治安全、社会安定、人民安宁。
What does this mean in a practical or day-to-day governance perspective? In the second section, he explains by focussing on grassroots governance. He says that Henan has drawn from Xi’s call and placed “high-efficiency grassroots governance in a prominent position”.
Some examples that he offers are that Henan has:
“established the Provincial Party Committee’s Leadership Group for Party Building-Led High-Efficiency Grassroots Governance, formulated implementation opinions and work task lists, and convened provincial work conferences, leadership group meetings, and two site meetings to deploy and promote these efforts. The Central Social Work Department convened a promotion meeting in Zhengzhou on deepening Party-building–led ‘responding to appeals and handling matters’ work and organized participating representatives to conduct on-site inspections, continuously deepened the application of the ‘Party building + grid + big data’ governance model, carried out 16 special action campaigns, focused on strengthening the building of grassroots Party organizations, grassroots governance teams, grassroots governance mechanisms, grassroots governance grids, and grassroots governance platforms, and raised the level of socialised, law-based, intelligent, and professional grassroots governance. Last year, the number of production safety accidents and fatalities in the province decreased by 18% and 18.7%, respectively, and the number of public security and criminal cases decreased by 13% and 18.1%, respectively. The number of petitions registered by the National Public Complaints and Proposals Administration from Henan decreased by 9.6%.” 欲筑室者,先治其基。基层是党的执政之基、力量之源,基层治理是实现高效能治理的“最后一公里”。我们深入学习贯彻习近平总书记在河南考察时重要讲话精神,把推进党建引领基层高效能治理摆在突出位置,成立省委党建引领基层高效能治理工作领导小组,制定实施意见和工作任务清单,召开全省党建引领基层高效能治理工作会议、领导小组会议、两次现场会等部署推进,中央社会工作部在郑州召开深化党建引领接诉即办工作推进会并组织与会代表实地考察,不断深化运用“党建+网格+大数据”治理模式,开展16个专项行动攻坚,着力加强基层党组织、基层治理队伍、基层治理机制、基层治理网格、基层治理平台建设,提升基层治理社会化、法治化、智能化、专业化水平。去年全省生产安全事故起数、死亡人数分别下降18%、18.7%,治安、刑事案件立案分别下降13%、18.1%,国家信访局登记河南信访量下降9.6%。
He then talks about work related to Party-building. He says that Henan has “improved the coordination mechanism for Party building-led grassroots governance, and formulated and promulgated the ‘Henan Provincial Social Governance Regulations’, accelerating the formation of a working pattern of joint efforts by all levels and sectors.”
He says that the province has been focussing on the selection of Party organisation secretaries, resolutely replacing those who are “politically unreliable, whose capabilities are not suited to the task, or who are not recognised by the masses.” “Last year, over 1,600 village Party branch secretaries were removed and replaced; 2,856 weak and disorganised village Party organizations were rectified through the ‘one village, one strategy’ approach; 33,000 first secretaries and work team members were newly-dispatched to villages; 5,100 village-level assistant coordinators for rural revitalisation were recruited; and Party organisational coverage and work coverage was achieved across 5,272 property service enterprises and 10,300 professionally managed residential communities.” 抓好党建引领这个根本。完善党建引领基层治理协调机制,制定出台《河南省社会治理条例》,各级各方面齐抓共管的工作格局加快形成。抓好农村、街道社区基层党组织两个“基本盘”,选优配强党组织书记队伍,对政治不过硬、能力不适应、群众不认可的坚决调换,去年撤换村党支部书记1600余人;“一村一策”整顿软弱涣散村党组织2856个,新选派3.3万名驻村第一书记和工作队员,招聘5100名乡村振兴村级协理员;推动5272家物业服务企业、1.03万个专业化物业服务小区实现党的组织覆盖和工作覆盖.
Henan has “optimised the setup of rural grids, community grids, dedicated grids, and micro-grids, achieving multi-purpose functionality across 339,000 grids throughout the province. Systematically integrated grassroots governance resources, promoted the downward shifting of focus by line departments, the sinking of forces, and the decentralization of resources, and guided more than 3.4 million community volunteers to go deep into grids to serve the masses. Improved the working mechanisms for grid visits and patrols, source identification, referral and assignment, collaborative handling, results feedback, and effectiveness evaluation, ensuring that public concerns are understood within the grids, conflicts are resolved within the grids, potential risks are identified within the grids, problems are solved within the grids, and services are provided within the grids. The focus has been on key areas such as production safety and maintaining social stability, enhancing the grid’s monitoring and early warning, rapid response, and effective handling capabilities. Categorised lists of grid matters and grid worker responsibilities have been established to guard against turning ‘a major push toward the grassroots’ into ‘major pressure on the grassroots’.” 强化网格建设这个支撑。优化设置农村网格、社区网格、专属网格、微网格,全省33.9万个网格实现“一格多用”。系统整合基层治理资源,推动条线部门重心下移、力量下沉、资源下放,引导340多万名社区志愿者深入网格服务群众。健全网格走访巡查、源头发现、分流交办、协同处置、结果反馈、效果评价工作机制,做到民情在网格掌握、矛盾在网格化解、隐患在网格排查、问题在网格解决、服务在网格开展。聚焦安全生产、信访维稳等重点领域,提升网格的监测预警、快速处置、有效应对能力。分类建立网格事项清单和网格员职责清单,防范把“大抓基层”变为“大压基层”.
Finally, he talks about how the province has made good use of digital means for improving governance. The examples include having a comprehensive smart platform, using data-based governance, using hotlines, etc.
So what will Henan do going forward? In this regard, he makes four points:
First, Henan will work to create a convenient and efficient business environment. Second, it will work to create a fair and law-based environment. Under this, he writes:
Henan will “strengthen legislation in key areas and emerging fields, and reinforce the implementation, supplementary, and exploratory functions of local legislation. We will deepen the reform of the administrative law enforcement system, strictly implement the administrative law enforcement responsibility system and accountability system, and promote the substantive resolution of administrative disputes. We will implement and improve the judicial responsibility system, strengthen the construction of enforcement coordination mechanisms, and effectively address the difficulty of enforcing judgments.” 加强重点领域、新兴领域立法,强化地方立法的实施性、补充性、探索性功能。深化行政执法体制改革,严格落实行政执法责任制和责任追究制度,推动行政争议实质性化解。落实和完善司法责任制,加强执行联动机制建设,有效解决“执行难”.
Third, create an honest and trustworthy credit environment. Accelerate the construction of the credit system, strengthen governance of prominent dishonesty issues in key fields, and improve and implement mechanisms for joint incentives for trustworthiness and joint punishment for untrustworthiness. Improve the institutional system for building a trustworthy government, strengthen the accountability mechanism for government dishonesty, reinforce inspection and audit supervision of government contract performance, and intensify efforts to resolve issues of overdue payments to enterprises. Deepen enterprise integrity construction, guide enterprises to strengthen awareness of the rule of law, contract spirit, and contract compliance, and investigate and handle malicious overdue payments and wage arrears in accordance with laws and regulations. Deepen social integrity construction, promote a culture of honesty, and create a good atmosphere in which those who keep trust are honoured, those who break trust are ashamed, and those who lack trust are worried. 营造诚实守信的信用环境。加快推进信用体系建设,加强重点领域突出失信问题治理,完善和落实守信联合激励和失信联合惩戒机制。完善诚信政府建设制度体系,健全政府失信责任追究机制,加强对政府合同履约情况的巡视和审计监督,加力解决拖欠企业账款问题。深化企业诚信建设,引导企业强化法治意识、契约精神、守约观念,依法依规查处恶意拖欠账款和工资问题。深化社会诚信建设,弘扬诚信文化,营造守信者荣、失信者耻、无信者忧的良好氛围.
Fourth, build a clear and healthy online environment. Improve governance capabilities in the cultural sector under informatisation, persistently use Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to gather hearts and forge souls, strictly implement the responsibility system for ideological work, and improve the long-term mechanism for online ecological governance. Improve the pattern of comprehensive internet governance, strengthen the political and leadership responsibilities for managing and governing the internet, and crack down on online chaos according to the law. Adhere to shaping cyberspace with positive voices, mainstream values, and contemporary trends, deepen online publicity of the Party’s innovative theory, promote the digital and intelligent empowerment and informatization transformation of cultural construction, and enrich new mass literature and art under internet conditions. 营造清朗健康的网络环境。提升信息化条件下文化领域治理能力,坚持不懈用习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想凝心铸魂,严格落实意识形态工作责任制,健全网络生态治理长效机制。健全网络综合治理格局,强化管网治网的政治责任和领导责任,依法打击网络乱象。坚持用正面声音、主流价值、时代新风塑造网络空间,深化党的创新理论网上宣传,推动文化建设数智化赋能、信息化转型,繁荣互联网条件下新大众文艺。
Fifth, build a stable and orderly social environment. Improve the social governance system and mechanisms under Party leadership, systematically build a social governance pattern in which the Party committee leads, the government is responsible, society coordinates, the public participates, the rule of law guarantees, and technology supports. Improve mechanisms for consolidating work serving the masses and enhance mechanisms for coordinating the interests of the people. Adhere to and develop the ‘Fengqiao Experience’ in the new era, strengthen localised management of conflicts and disputes, source prevention, and diversified resolution, and promote the legalisation of petition work.
