Grass roots is the forefront of serving the masses and the "last mile" of implementation.
On the afternoon of April 22, 2024, General Secretary Xi Jinping, who was on an inspection tour in Chongqing, came to the community of Democratic Village, Xiejiawan Street, Jiulongpo District, walked into the community party masses service center, asked community cadres what kind of convenient services are carried out here, how about community cadres' treatment, and how busy they are at work, and so on, to learn more about the effect of community burden reduction in recent years.
How to answer the big question of reducing the burden at the grass-roots level? Since the beginning of the year, Xi Jinping has made many in-depth investigations at the grass-roots level, repeatedly emphasizing and clarifying the direction from the countryside to the community.
From April 22 to 24, 2024, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the State and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, made an investigation in Chongqing. This afternoon on the 22nd, Xi Jinping inspected the community of Minzhu Village, Xiejiawan Street, Jiulongpo District. Photographed by Xie Huanchi, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency
"Solve problems" from the direction——
"To promote high-quality development and Chinese style modernization, we must strengthen and improve Party building."
This is a challenge that needs to be promoted from top to bottom.
From March 18 to 21, 2024, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the People's Republic of China and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, visited Hunan. This afternoon on the 19th, Xi Jinping learned about the local situation of reducing the burden on the grass-roots level and improving the efficiency of grass-roots governance at the Party Mass Service Center in Gangzhongping Village, Xiejiapu Town, Dingcheng District, Changde City.

In February, during a visit to Tianjin, Xi Jinping pointed out that leading groups and cadres at all levels should firmly establish a correct view of political achievements, continue to rectify formalism to reduce the burden on the grass-roots level, guide the majority of party members and cadres to really work hard and forge ahead, and fully promote the implementation of the decisions and arrangements of the Central Committee of the Party.
In March, during a survey in Hunan, Xi Jinping pointed out that the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clearly required to reduce the burden on the grass-roots level, resolutely tackle formalism and bureaucracy, and continue to focus on this work.
In April, during his trip to Chongqing, Xi Jinping stressed that we should clarify the rights and responsibilities of the grassroots to reduce their responsibilities. We should not burden the grassroots with everything. What should the grassroots do? We should clarify their responsibilities.
In the crucial year, Xi Jinping answered the "key questions" with a clear attitude, demonstrating his firm determination to persevere in the new journey and improve the style of work.
Rectification of Wenshan Huihai, overall planning and standardization of supervision, inspection and assessment, rectification of "finger tip formalism" and "simplification and one size fits all" …… Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, all regions and departments continued to make efforts to solve a number of prominent problems of formalism and bureaucracy.
At present, the party discipline learning and education carried out throughout the party is an important measure to strengthen the party's discipline construction and promote the comprehensive and strict governance of the party to develop in depth.
At the symposium on promoting the development of the western region in the new era, Xi Jinping once again made it clear that "consolidate and expand the achievements of theme education, pay attention to the learning and education of party discipline, and continue to rectify formalism to reduce the burden on the grass-roots level."
Today, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China combines solving prominent problems of formalism with reducing the burden on the grass-roots level. As an important part of the Party's style building, it plans and promotes as a whole, which has become a new practice of comprehensively and strictly governing the Party.
"Solve problems" from the mechanism——
To reduce the burden at the grass-roots level, we should not only have a global plan, but also improve the system and mechanism to form a joint force.
Five years ago, also in Chongqing, Xi Jinping pointed out during his inspection that "we should resolutely rectify formalism and bureaucracy, and free grass-roots cadres from red tape, cultural mountain meeting sea, welcoming and sending."
This year is exactly the "year of burden reduction at the grass-roots level" determined by the Party Central Committee. Since that year, it has become an important matter for the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee to listen to the annual work report on combating formalism to reduce the burden on the grass-roots level every year.
From the Notice on Solving the Prominent Problems of Formalism to Reduce the Burden at the Grassroots Level, which proposed a series of measures, to the establishment of a special working mechanism at the central level to rectify formalism for reducing the burden at the grass roots level, to the establishment of a mechanism to report and expose the negative typical cases of reducing the burden at the grass roots level, etc …… "Combination boxing" promotes the work of burden reduction at the grass-roots level to go deeper and more practical.
The newly revised Regulations on Disciplinary Measures of the Communist Party of China include such acts as "violating the relevant provisions of the Association for the Reduction of Fine Arts and Culture to engage in cultural exchanges", "increasing the weight of supervision, inspection and assessment, excessive marking, and increasing the burden of grass-roots work" into the scope of punishment; The Opinions on Strengthening the Construction of Community Workers clearly put forward in the section of "Deepening Load Reduction and Efficiency Increase" that we should establish and improve the access mechanism and dynamic adjustment mechanism for community work matters, and standardize the work affairs, mechanism brands and certification matters of community organizations.
Step by step every year. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has launched a "heavy fist" campaign to alleviate the burden on grassroots cadres and strengthen their confidence in work.
"Solving Problems" from Practical Work——
Xi Jinping's concern about reducing the burden on the grass-roots level is to let the grass-roots level spend more time on the implementation of work and better serve the people.
The residents living in the democratic village community of Xiejiawan Street have deeply felt the results of the local grassroots burden reduction work in recent years - focusing on the needs of key groups such as "one old and one young", the community has carried out grid management, provided refined services for residents, and achieved comprehensive burden reduction with the help of "one meter connected" intelligent reports.
From April 22 to 24, 2024, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the State and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, made an investigation in Chongqing. This is the afternoon of the 22nd, when Xi Jinping inspected the community of Minzhu Village, Xiejiawan Street, Jiulongpo District, he cordially communicated with the residents of the community.

In recent years, in order to further deepen the rectification of formalism and reduce the burden of grassroots cadres, provinces and cities have taken practical and comprehensive measures——
Shanghai issued Several Measures on Further Reducing the Burden of Residential Organizations, and carried out the "four reductions" action of reducing certification, system, assessment and listing; Focusing on promoting the in-depth integration of online and offline services, Shanxi promotes online government services to "only access one network, one network to do everything, one time without running"; Wuhan City, Hubei Province expanded the scope of data integration of the government affairs platform system, and promoted the integration of 33 systems with high daily use frequency on the platform in batches, so as to fill in information once, share multiple terminals, and share multiple times …… All localities have made innovative exploration and practical measures to reduce the burden at the grass-roots level, reducing it to "practical" and "effective", and promoting the formation of a stronger atmosphere of practical work.
A thousand threads on the top and a needle on the bottom.
In the new journey, only by strictly avoiding formalism, truly and effectively easing the burden on the grassroots, and supporting the doers, can a new style of being realistic and pragmatic be formed.
