  Clarify the great significance of comprehensively promoting the overall goal of governing the country according to law

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "To advance any work, as long as our party takes a clear-cut stand and the whole party takes action, the whole society will follow." Clarifying the overall goal of comprehensively promoting the rule of law is of great significance for comprehensively promoting the rule of law. The overall goal of comprehensively promoting the rule of law is put forward by our party with a clear understanding of the historical stage of China’s development, a profound analysis of the new changes in the situation at home and abroad, and a response to the new expectations of the broad masses of the people. It is of great strategic significance.

  Highlight our party’s firm determination to promote the construction of socialist rule of law. Building Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s legal system and building a socialist country ruled by law is an important choice made by profoundly summing up the successful experience and profound lessons of China’s socialist legal construction. Our party deeply understands that the rule of law is the basic way to govern the country. To achieve economic development, political clarity, cultural prosperity, social justice and good ecology, we must give full play to the leading and regulating role of the rule of law. Clearly and comprehensively promoting the overall goal of governing the country according to law fully embodies the party’s strong will and determination to unswervingly implement the basic strategy of governing the country according to law and unswervingly lead the people to build a socialist country ruled by law, which shows that the party’s ability to lead and govern the country by using the rule of law has been significantly enhanced.

  Clarify the nature and direction of comprehensively promoting the rule of law. Direction determines the road, and the road determines fate. Taking one’s own road is the whole theoretical and practical foothold of the party, and it is also the historical conclusion drawn by the party’s hundred years of struggle. To comprehensively promote the rule of law, we must take the right path. If you go the wrong way, it is meaningless to ask for any more requirements and measures. The road of rule of law in Socialism with Chinese characteristics embodies the achievements and experience of socialist rule of law construction, is the only correct way to build a socialist country ruled by law, and fundamentally ensures the correct direction of socialist rule of law construction in China. The rule of law in Socialism with Chinese characteristics is a general thing.

Taking building Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s legal system and building a socialist country ruled by law as the overall goal of comprehensively promoting the rule of law shows our party’s firm confidence in taking the road of rule of law in Socialism with Chinese characteristics and points out the correct direction of comprehensively promoting the rule of law.

  Highlight the work focus and overall grasp of comprehensively promoting the rule of law. Promoting the rule of law in an all-round way involves many aspects, and the work is complicated. In order to make the work of comprehensively promoting the rule of law efficiently organized and carried out in an orderly manner, there must be a general grasp of the overall situation and the traction of all parties. Focusing on this general grasp to plan and comprehensively promote the work of governing the country according to law will have the effect of "citing its outline and seeing everything". The general goal is to build the rule of law system in Socialism with Chinese characteristics. The construction of the rule of law system in Socialism with Chinese characteristics is an original and epochal concept put forward by our party. We must seize this general grasp, speed up the formation of a complete system of legal norms, an efficient implementation system of the rule of law, a strict supervision system of the rule of law, and a strong guarantee system of the rule of law, form a perfect system of inner-party laws and regulations, and constantly create a new situation of comprehensively governing the country according to law.

  Promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity on the track of rule of law. The rule of law is an important support for the national governance system and governance capacity. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Looking at the modern and contemporary history of the world, there is no country that has successfully realized modernization that has not solved the problems of rule of law and rule of man. On the contrary, although some countries once achieved rapid development, they did not successfully enter the threshold of modernization, but fell into one kind or another ‘ Trap ’ There has been a situation in which economic and social development has stagnated or even regressed. The latter situation is largely related to the lack of rule of law. " To realize the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, we must comprehensively promote the rule of law, effectively ensure the systematicness, standardization and coordination of the national governance system, and maximize social consensus. Defining the construction of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s rule of law system and a socialist country ruled by law as the overall goal of comprehensively promoting the rule of law reflects the inevitable requirements of the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, greatly enhances the effectiveness of the rule of law in promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, and constantly consolidates the rule of law foundation of "the rule of China".

Socialism with Chinese characteristics system is the fundamental institutional basis of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s legal system, and Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s legal system is an important part of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s system. We must firmly grasp the nature of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, unswervingly follow the road of rule of law in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, correctly handle the relationship between politics and rule of law, reform and rule of law, rule of law and rule of virtue, rule of law and rule of law, and be particularly clear-headed and firm on major issues such as upholding the party’s overall leadership and ensuring that the people are masters of the country.

We will improve the training system for talents under the rule of law, deepen the reform of the management system for law enforcement and judicial personnel, and rectify the education of political and legal personnel, so as to provide a strong organizational guarantee for building a socialist country ruled by law.

  Safeguard national interests by means of the rule of law. The rule of law is an important part of a country’s core competitiveness. As China approaches the center of the world stage, we must speed up the strategic layout of foreign-related rule of law work, coordinate and promote domestic governance and international governance, and better safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has promoted the domestic rule of law and foreign-related rule of law as a whole, and used the rule of law to carry out international struggles, effectively safeguarding the interests of the country and the people. It is necessary to strengthen legislation in foreign-related fields, further improve laws and regulations against sanctions, interference and "long-arm jurisdiction", and promote the construction of a legal system for extraterritorial application in China. Incorporate the expansion of law enforcement and judicial cooperation into an important issue in the construction of bilateral and multilateral relations, and enhance the judicial efficiency of foreign-related law enforcement. Strengthen the training of foreign-related legal talents. Actively participate in the formulation of international rules and promote the formation of a fair and reasonable international rules system.
