"The New Era Answer to the 'Yaodong Question'"

In 1945, Mao Zedong responded in Yan'an to Huang Yanpei's question about the historical cycle of rise and fall, giving the answer: “Let the people supervise the government.” In the new era, the Party Central Committee has further proposed “selfrevolution” as the answer in the practice of fully and rigorously governing the Party. This current affairs commentary outlines the main thread of advancing Party building in the new era, including starting with the EightPoint Decision of the Central Committee, promoting comprehensive strict Party governance through improving work style, strengthening the institutional framework for anticorruption, and confining power within the cage of institutions. The article also mentions that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Party conduct, clean government building, and the fight against corruption have continued to deepen, and the governance system and governance capacity have been continuously improved. The article emphasizes that, in the face of the tests under longterm governance, the Communist Party of China must always remain clearminded and resolute in its “final exam” spirit, advance selfrevolution with the tenacity of being always on the road, and keep answering well the “question of the cave dwellings” raised during the Yan'an period.
