General Secretary Xi Jinping's important exposition on civil affairs is the concrete embodiment of the party's innovative theory in the field of civil affairs and the civil affairs chapter of Xi Jinping's thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. Social organization work is an important part of civil affairs work. General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance to social organization work. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he has repeatedly strengthened the leadership of party building, assisted economic and social construction, played an active role, and prevented security risks. Important instructions and instructions for healthy and orderly development have been sent to many social organizations, fully affirming their responsibilities, and putting forward ardent expectations and directions for efforts. In the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward major judgments on high-quality development and made systematic arrangements, which pointed out the way forward and provided fundamental follow-up for the high-quality development of social organization work in the new era. The Central Economic Work Conference held at the end of last year emphasized that "adherence to high-quality development must be the last word in the new era". To do a good job in social organization in the new era, we must learn and understand Xi Jinping's thoughts on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, adhere to the unity of learning, thinking, knowledge, and practice, and effectively transform learning results into a strong driving force for the high-quality development of social organizations.

Strengthening source control to ensure high-quality development of social organization registration and management

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that only by focusing on improving the Party's governing ability, can we quickly enhance the ideological and political quality, scientific and cultural quality, and work ability of our cadres at all levels and managers in all aspects, and improve the work ability of Party and state organs, enterprises and institutions, people's organizations, social organizations, etc., can the national governance system operate more effectively. To learn well and make good use of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important discourse, we must follow the standards for political organ construction and coordinate the political functions and legal responsibilities of social organization registration and management.

We must keep a good political eye on it. Deeply understand the decisive significance of the "two consolidations", firmly adhere to the Party's leadership as the fundamental political guarantee, firmly grasp the highest political principle and fundamental political rules of the "two safeguards", cooperate with the rationalization of the management system of Party building work in industry associations, societies, and chambers of commerce, strengthen the Party building of new social organizations, tightly unite social organizations around the Party, obey and serve the Party's comprehensive leadership, consciously listen to the Party's words, feel the Party's favor, and follow the Party. Secondly, we need to ensure proper registration. Consciously establish the concept of 'what the Party committee and government focus on, social organizations serve; what the people lack, social organizations fill the gaps', and continuously optimize the development layout of social organizations. Focus on the local level, promote case registration around the overall development situation and urgent needs of reality; Guide the place well and continuously optimize the distribution of social organization levels, fields, and types; Adjust the total amount and achieve a healthy development of "both in and out". Thirdly, we must ensure strict supervision. Strengthen the institutional foundation, promote the legislation of industry associations and chambers of commerce, revise the management regulations of foundations, and introduce a number of practical and effective policy measures as supporting measures. Strengthen the management of social organization leaders, clarify the qualifications for national social organization leaders, implement management systems such as talks and interviews with leaders, and promote pre appointment public disclosure of social organization leaders and job reporting by legal representatives. We must strictly enforce the law. Placing risk prevention in a prominent position, implementing the authority of the rule of law, cracking down on illegal social organizations with "zero tolerance", increasing the punishment for illegal behavior of social organizations, and using a combination of strengthening "joint defense", strictly managing "legality", cracking down on "Li Gui", and eliminating "zombies" to build a solid defense line for the safe development of social organizations.

Persist in strengthening the foundation and continuously promote the high-quality development of social organizations

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that we should pay close attention to the characteristics of the development and changes of grassroots political organizations, economic organizations, autonomous organizations, mass organizations, and social organizations, strengthen guidance and management, and enable various grassroots organizations to be set up according to their needs, fulfill their responsibilities according to their duties, have personnel to handle affairs, and have board members with regulations. We should not only cultivate our own land and manage our responsibility fields well, but also sing the banner of collective intelligence and play the card of synergy. To learn well and make good use of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important discourse, we must implement the sense of responsibility for management and service, focus on the special action of "strengthening the standardized construction of social organizations and promoting the high-quality development of social organizations", take "strengthening the foundation, preventing diseases before they occur, and benefiting the long run" as the fundamental project to promote the high-quality development of social organizations themselves, and firmly grasp this front-end work, striving to reduce the risks and pressures of weakening and grasping the end and treating the already sick.

We must promote the clear direction of social organizations and adhere to the fundamental principle of the Party's leadership over social organizations. Promote the "six synchronizations" between the establishment and registration of social organizations, the approval of their articles of association, annual inspection reports, special spot checks, level evaluations, education and training, and the party building of social organizations. Promote the incorporation of party building and socialist core values into the articles of association of social organizations, and promote the "two-way entry and cross appointment" of party organization members and management to ensure effective coverage of party organizations and party work. Secondly, we must promote social organizations to adhere to their original intention and uphold the basic attribute of non-profit. Cooperate with relevant departments to improve the non-profit accounting system, promote the establishment and improvement of internal control management mechanisms for social organizations, promote local experience in building clean social organizations, strengthen non-profit supervision, enhance the registration and management of social organizations, and promote the popularization of business policies to ensure "non deformation" and "immutability". Thirdly, we must promote strong autonomy of social organizations and adhere to the important defense line of regulating internal governance. By combining annual inspections, elections, evaluations, and other work, we will strengthen standardized management, guide social organizations to improve the level of council construction, strengthen the management of branch (representative) institutions of social organizations, formulate and implement industry standards for the self construction of social organizations, and explore diverse mechanisms for resolving internal conflicts and disputes within social organizations. We must promote social organizations to uphold integrity and fulfill their original mission of fulfilling social responsibilities. Strengthen the supervision of social organization credit and information disclosure, promote social organizations to actively carry out integrity commitments, encourage social organizations to actively fulfill their social responsibilities, and ensure that honesty and trustworthiness become the foundation of social organizations' survival.

Actively guide and mobilize social organizations to serve high-quality economic and social development

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that high-quality development is the primary task of comprehensively building a socialist modernized country. To learn well and make good use of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important discourse, we must focus on guiding and mobilizing social organizations to serve high-quality development and carry out corresponding work, and stimulate the powerful force of nearly 900000 social organizations to participate in socialist modernization construction.

We must guide social organizations to find the right development positioning. Based on the new situation and new tasks, we will promote high-quality development of our industry and field through various levels and types of social organizations, actively cooperate with party committees and governments at all levels, widely link various resources, fully play a supportive and auxiliary role, and truly become an important force in providing services, reflecting demands, and promoting harmony. Secondly, we need to guide social organizations to focus on development areas. We will carefully benchmark the decisions and arrangements of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the national strategic layout, focusing on expanding domestic demand, rural revitalization, regional coordinated development, revitalizing the country through science and education, strengthening the country through talent, and actively responding to the aging population and other national strategies. We will strengthen policy integration, resource integration, and work cooperation, fully tap into social organizational resources, tap into the potential of social organizations, find entry points to serve high-quality economic and social development, and demonstrate new achievements in the new era, new journey, and new achievements. Thirdly, we must guide social organizations to explore development paths. In terms of innovative development, we will continue to promote the implementation of the "Ten Batch" key tasks of industry associations and chambers of commerce to serve high-quality development, and help promote high-quality economic development. In terms of coordinated development, promote regional social organizations to focus on regional development strategies such as Beijing Tianjin Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, and Yangtze River Economic Belt, and play a positive role in industrial complementarity, market recognition, and standard recognition. In terms of green development, guide environmental protection social organizations to actively participate in the comprehensive conservation strategy, promote the public to practice the concept of ecological civilization, and cultivate green and low-carbon lifestyles and production methods. In terms of open development, we support social organizations with strength and willingness to explore channels and participate in the formulation of global governance rules. In terms of shared development, we will promote the extensive participation of social organizations at all levels, especially those at the city level and below, in strengthening and innovating grassroots governance, and help ensure and provide services for people's livelihoods. Continuously promote pairing assistance between national social organizations, social organizations in eastern provinces (municipalities directly under the central government), and 160 key counties for rural revitalization, and do a good job in social organization assistance to Tibet, Xinjiang, and designated assistance, promoting the sharing of development achievements among all people. Identify the key points for social organizations to participate in civil affairs work, focusing on civil affairs services such as social assistance, elderly care, disability welfare, and child welfare, and effectively leveraging the positive role of social organizations in improving civil affairs skills and enriching civil affairs tools.
