From COVID ZERO Measures to ZERO COVID Measures: Brief Thoughts on 习近平 坚持人民至上 (Xi Jinping, "Uphold the Supremacy of the People"), 爱国卫生运 动作出重要指示 [Patriotic Health Campaign Issues Important Instructions], and the Manifestation of 群众路线 (Mass Line) Politics in the Chinese New Era

In all the practical work of our Party, all correct leadership is necessarily "from the masses, to the masses". This means: take the ideas of the masses (scattered and unsystematic ideas) and concentrate them (through study turn them into concentrated and systematic ideas), then go to the masses and propagate and explain these ideas until the masses embrace them as their own, hold fast to them and translate them into action, and test the correctness of these ideas in such action. Then once again concentrate ideas from the masses and once again go to the masses so that the ideas are persevered in and carried through. And so on, over and over again in an endless spiral, with the ideas becoming more correct, more vital and richer each time. Such is the Marxist theory of knowledge. (Mao Zedong, "Some Questions Concerning Methods of Leadership" (1 June 1943))

There will be much discussion both about the development of China's zero tolerance COVID policy, and then, after protests (or in concert with them) the equally swift adoption of the reform of the methods of that policy that effectively eliminated strict testing and quarantine regimes. Both the development of the zero tolerance and the zero testing policies might, at their foundation, provide quite fascinating expressions of the workings of the mass line in the formulation and reform of important policies in China under the leadership of the Communist Party bit within a cage of consultation tied to the New Era whole process democracy principles.

Much of that discussion will be useful, especially for those who delight in the  hothouse politics of a closed circuit of power relationships within the institutions of the leading social forces of China.  Perhaps more neglected than it ought to be, are more careful studies of the ways of thinking through issues and challenges and pathways to response--like COVID ZERO in the face of mounting economic pressures and geopolitical realities--that made it not just predictable but predictable stabilizing for the senior leadership  of the Communist Part to move swiftly to a ZERO COVID MEASURES policy. Given the basic orienting toward (for decision making) principles of New Era Leninism, it was inevitable that Party organs would move, precipitously but quite strategically. The real question was the choice of pathway from out of COVID ZERO; and that was effectively decided in the months after the end of the 20th Party Congress, and signaled by the response of authorities to protests at the end of 2022 (here; in quite dramatic contrast to state responses during the Shanghai lockdown, see童之伟对上海新冠防疫两措施的法律意见 [Tong Zhiwei, Legal Opinion on Two Measures of Shanghai's New COVID Epidemic Prevention and Control]). 

That pathway to response first required both a judgment about the measures undertaken (at its broadest level of generality) to date. To that end it was necessary to frame the pivot in terms of policy success.

The sense of official momentum towards a landmark shift built on Thursday as Vice Premier Sun Chunlan, who oversees COVID efforts, told a meeting of frontline experts that the Omicron variant was weakening in its ability to cause disease, allowing China to improve prevention efforts. "After nearly three years fighting against the epidemic, our country's medical and healthcare system has withstood the test," she said in remarks published by the official Xinhua news agency. (China set to loosen COVID curbs after week of protests)

Nonetheless, that more careful study might lead one back to a core principle of the mass line (群众路线), , at least with respect to policy choices and responses to popular sentiment in a context in which, after the 20th Party Congress, there was more flexibility in policy pivots aligned with an unchanging objective. The Mass Line has seen dramatic ideological development in the New Era, one discounted by foreigners but at least within policy circles one the rationalizing power of which ought not to be dismissed lightly in framing thinking and the politics around which change is actually produced. In that respect, the relationship between the masses, mass protest, the response of authorities on the ground, and the modification of policy, might be usefully considered against an essay authored by Xi Jinping and published in the leading theoretical organ of the Communist Party "Seeking Truth" 《求是》in October 2022 just ahead of the protests. That essay, 坚持人民至上 [Uphold the Supremacy of the People], describes the relationship between the reading social forces of society, whose leadership manifestation in the form of the Communist Party, formed a bilateral linkage with the patriotic masses (for the rest--dictatorship) that together drives the form of policy on the ground even as the vanguard drives its ideology and the direction of its movement. In the language of the essay: "The fundamental purpose of our party is to enable the people to live a better life. Adhering to the people-centered development concept is not an empty slogan, but must be implemented in various decision-making arrangements and practical work." (坚持人民至上 ).

In the essay, the main part of which is drawn from the General Secretary's 22 May 2020 speech, delivered to  the Inner Mongolia delegation at the Third Session of the Thirteenth National People's Congress, framed the analytic structures of the application of the mass line to the working style of the Communist Party and its operational policy.

 1. "First, uphold the supremacy of the people. . . In the face of a major epidemic, we made it clear from the very beginning that we put people's life safety and health first." This militates in favor of stricter disease prevention and mitigation measures even at a substantial cost to social and economic life.

2. "Second, rely on the people closely. . . The broad masses of the people understand the general situation, take into account the overall situation, and consciously cooperate with the overall situation of the epidemic prevention and control struggle, forming a basic force for epidemic prevention and control." That works until the masses decisively demonstrate a different understanding as conditions change. 

3. "Third, continue to benefit the people. In the final analysis, our promotion of economic and social development is to continuously meet the needs of the people for a better life." Popular demonstrations in this case suggest a shift in popular sentiment from the important objective of protecting health to the equally important objective of preserving economic health. There is no defeat in either policy, just a balancing for which popular manifestation of preference is important (especially since it does not threaten the core of Leninist ideology in theory or as policy). 

4. And this then provides the New Era Leninist basis for changing course: "The benefit of the people should be regarded as the most important political achievement. The Communist Party of China regards doing things for the people and benefiting the people as the most important achievements, and regards how many good deeds it has done for the people as an important criterion for evaluating its achievements." 

5. Popular manifestation in the context of covering course corrections may continue to provide a useful basis for making choices among equally authentic policy choices; though it is more likely that this will be manifested through the consultation channels of whole process democracy, the vanguard has signaled its toleration of more direct and potentially volatile communication, with the masses. 

6. Such direct manifestation, however, will not be cost free.Arrests and discipline will likely continue to follow, though on a muted scale.  The effort is likely meant to set the price on mass direct communication through protests--in effect the masses will have to feel strongly enough to face the possibility of arrest and discipline before they act. The echo of liberal democratic non violent civil disobedience can be heard in the distance.  On the other hand, violence will likely be crushed and punished swiftly. There also what ought to be something echoed in liberal democratic conversations between their apparatus of government and mass sentiment. 

7. This provides the necessary background for a deeper understanding of text and subtext in the critically important announcement of Xi Jinping on 爱国卫生运 [The Patriotic Health Campaign] of 26 December 2022--爱国卫生运 动作出重要指示 [Patriotic Health Campaign Issues Important Instructions].

Xi Jinping emphasized that at present, my country's COVID epidemic prevention and control is facing new situations and new tasks. It is necessary to carry out patriotic health campaigns in a more targeted manner, give full play to the advantages of patriotic health campaigns in organization and mass mobilization, and guide the broad masses of the people to actively learn health knowledge and master the knowledge of health .[习近平强调,当前,我国新冠疫情防控面临新形势新任务,要更加有针对性地开展爱国卫生运动,充分发挥爱国卫生运动的组织优势和群众动员优势,引导广大人民群众主动学习健康知识] (爱国卫生运, supra)

Embedded within this re-direction was the application of a working style principle not unknown in liberal democratic regulatory administration: "adhere to prevention first, innovate mechanisms and working methods" (爱国卫生运, supra). In the West this is more commonly adhered top under the principle: prevent, mitigate, and remedy.  The framing of this pivot, of course, was necessarily dependent on the conclusion that the first phase of epidemic response--focused almost entirely on health, had succeeded--as success is measured by the authorities. That predicate then made it possible to respond  in mass line fashion to changing circumstances, including popular sentiment.  

Both Brief Thoughts on 习近平 坚持人民至上 (Xi Jinping, "Uphold the Supremacy of the People"), and 爱国卫生运 动作出重要指示 [Patriotic Health Campaign Issues Important Instructions],  follow below in the original Chinese and in my crude English translation follow below.


 

Uphold the supremacy of the people

Adhere to the supremacy of the people※

Xi Jinping

The foundation of the Communist Party of China is in the people, and the blood is in the people. Adhering to the people-centered development idea embodies the party's ideals, beliefs, nature, purpose, and original mission, and is also a profound summary of the party's struggle and practical experience. Since its establishment, our party has united and led the people in revolution, construction, and reform. The fundamental purpose of our party is to enable the people to live a better life. Adhering to the people-centered development concept is not an empty slogan, but must be implemented in various decision-making arrangements and practical work.

First, uphold the supremacy of the people. The ancients said: "Those who share the same interests as the world, the world will hold them; those who are good at the benefits of the world, the world will seek them." The party constitution clearly stipulates that our party has no special interests of its own, and the party puts the interests of the masses first at all times . This is a remarkable sign that our party, as a Marxist political party, is different from other political parties. In the face of a major epidemic, we made it clear from the very beginning that we put people's life safety and health first. We mobilized the best doctors, the most advanced equipment, and the most urgently needed resources across the country, and went all out to treat the epidemic, all of which were borne by the state. People are supreme, life is supreme, protecting people's life safety and health can be done at all costs!


From February 10th to 13th, 2018, when the traditional festival of the Chinese nation, the Lunar New Year, came, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, came to Sichuan for investigation and investigation. Best New Year wishes. This is the morning of February 11. Xi Jinping visited the home of Jihao Yeqiu, a poor household in Sanhe Village, Sanchahe Township, Zhaojue County, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, and listened to a 10-year-old girl, Jihao Youguo, sing "The National Flag is Beautiful".

At present, China's foreign defense import pressure continues to increase, and the risk of domestic epidemic rebound always exists. It is necessary to tighten the string of epidemic prevention and control, improve the normalized prevention and control mechanism, and ensure that the epidemic does not rebound.

Second, rely on the people closely. The people are the greatest confidence for our party to govern. In this epidemic prevention and control struggle, under the unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, nationwide mobilization, participation of the whole people, joint defense, joint control, and group prevention and treatment have built the strictest prevention and control system and gathered an indestructible and powerful force. The broad masses of the people understand the general situation, take into account the overall situation, and consciously cooperate with the overall situation of the epidemic prevention and control struggle, forming a basic force for epidemic prevention and control. The ancients said: "If you can use all your strength, you will be invincible in the world; if you can use all your wisdom, you will have no fear of saints." my country's socialist democracy is the broadest, most authentic and most effective democracy that safeguards the fundamental interests of the people. We must uphold people's democracy and better integrate the wisdom and strength of the people into the cause of the party and the people. The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is the earliest ethnic autonomous region established in my country. I hope that you will uphold and improve the system of ethnic regional autonomy, strengthen the exchanges and integration of various ethnic groups, accelerate the pace of economic and social development in ethnic areas, and continue to be at the forefront in promoting the unity and progress of all ethnic groups.


On March 10, 2020, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, went to Wuhan, Hubei Province to inspect the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic.

To do a good job in coordinating epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, we must closely rely on the people. The epidemic has caused a great impact and impact on my country's economic and social development, but the fundamentals of my country's economic stability and long-term improvement have not changed. Everything in the world has its two sides. This epidemic is a crisis, but to some extent it also breeds new opportunities. It is necessary to take the initiative to take some effective measures in promoting the construction of major projects, supporting the development of market entities, accelerating industrial restructuring, and improving grassroots governance capabilities, and deploying targeted major projects that are tractive for high-quality development and efficient governance. Plans, major reforms, and major policies, grasp the initiative in responding to crises, and fight for development initiative.

Third, continue to benefit the people. In the final analysis, our promotion of economic and social development is to continuously meet the needs of the people for a better life. We must always keep the people's lives and work, safety and well-being in mind, and use our heart and soul to solve practical problems such as employment, education, social security, medical care, housing, elderly care, food safety, and social security that the masses care about, and implement them one by one. Then work for a year, trying to let the masses see the changes and get benefits.

Inner Mongolia announced in March this year that all impoverished counties would be removed from their hats. It is necessary to consolidate and expand the achievements of industrial employment poverty alleviation, do a good job in follow-up support for ex situ poverty alleviation and relocation, and promote the organic connection between poverty alleviation and rural revitalization. Affected by the epidemic, the task of stabilizing employment this year is very heavy. We must do a good job in the employment of key groups such as college graduates, migrant workers, and retired soldiers. This epidemic has revealed that we still have some shortcomings and deficiencies in the public health system. We must promptly improve the major epidemic prevention and treatment system and the public health system, strengthen the prevention and control capabilities of urban and rural communities and other grassroots communities, and extensively carry out patriotic health campaigns. Better protect people's life safety and health.

The benefit of the people should be regarded as the most important political achievement. The Communist Party of China regards doing things for the people and benefiting the people as the most important achievements, and regards how many good deeds it has done for the people as an important criterion for evaluating its achievements. Party members and cadres, especially leading cadres, must clearly realize that the power in their hands and the positions they occupy are endowed by the party and the people, and they are used to do things for the party and the people, and can only be used to benefit the people. Leading cadres at all levels should establish a correct view of power, political achievements, and career, not envy vanity, do not do meritorious service, do not seek false fame, and earnestly serve as an official and benefit one party.

For example, ecological environment protection is a century-old plan to benefit the people. The ecological status of Inner Mongolia is not only related to the survival and development of the people of all ethnic groups in the region, but also related to the ecological security of North China, Northeast China, Northwest China and even the whole country. In recent years, you have carried out in-depth implementation of key ecological projects, carried out in-depth battles against pollution, and made important strides in promoting the construction of a beautiful Inner Mongolia. The cadres and masses in Inner Mongolia have been unremittingly treating the Mu Us Sandy Land for more than 60 years. Now the treatment rate has reached 70%, and the ecology has shown an overall improvement trend. It is a remarkable achievement! It is necessary to maintain the strategic determination to strengthen the construction of ecological civilization, firmly establish the orientation of ecological priority and green development, focus on the comprehensive management of the ecological environment in key areas such as the Yellow River Basin, "one lake and two seas", Wuhai and surrounding areas, and continue to lay a good foundation The battle to defend the blue sky, clear water, and pure land has built a stronger green Great Wall in the northern Xinjiang of the motherland.

Fourth, firmly rooted in the people. If our party wants to be in power for a long time, it must always maintain the flesh-and-blood ties with the people, and always want to be with the people, work together, stand together through thick and thin, and share weal and woe. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have consistently comprehensively and strictly governed the party, unswervingly opposed and punished corruption, unswervingly rectified the "four winds", carried out the party's mass line education and practice activities, and the theme education of "never forget the original heart and keep in mind the mission" It is to educate and guide the broad masses of party members and cadres to always breathe with the masses of the people, share fate, and connect hearts. We must unswervingly oppose corruption, unswervingly oppose and overcome formalism and bureaucracy, and prevent the phenomenon of losing the masses because of alienation from the masses.

坚持人民至上※

习近平

  中国共产党根基在人民、血脉在人民。坚持以人民为中心的发展思想,体现了党的理想信念、性质宗旨、初心使命,也是对党的奋斗历程和实践经验的深刻总结。自成立以来,我们党团结带领人民进行革命、建设、改革,根本目的就是为了让人民过上好日子,无论面临多大挑战和压力,无论付出多大牺牲和代价,这一点都始终不渝、毫不动摇。坚持以人民为中心的发展思想,不是一句空洞口号,必须落实到各项决策部署和实际工作之中。

  第一,坚持人民至上。古人讲:“与天下同利者,天下持之;擅天下之利者,天下谋之。”党章明确规定,我们党没有自己特殊的利益,党在任何时候都把群众利益放在第一位。这是我们党作为马克思主义政党区别于其他政党的显著标志。在重大疫情面前,我们一开始就鲜明提出把人民生命安全和身体健康放在第一位。我们在全国范围调集最优秀的医生、最先进的设备、最急需的资源,全力以赴投入疫病救治,救治费用全部由国家承担。人民至上、生命至上,保护人民生命安全和身体健康可以不惜一切代价!


  2018年2月10日至13日,中华民族传统节日农历春节来临之际,中共中央总书记、国家主席、中央军委主席习近平来到四川考察调研,看望慰问各族干部群众,向全国各族人民致以美好的新春祝福。这是2月11日上午,习近平在凉山彝族自治州昭觉县三岔河乡三河村贫困户吉好也求家中看望,听10岁小女孩吉好有果唱《国旗国旗真美丽》。 新华社记者 鞠鹏/摄


  当前,我国外防输入压力持续加大,国内疫情反弹的风险始终存在。要绷紧疫情防控这根弦,完善常态化防控机制,确保疫情不出现反弹。

  第二,紧紧依靠人民。人民是我们党执政的最大底气。在这次疫情防控斗争中,在党中央统一领导下,全国动员、全民参与,联防联控、群防群治,构筑起最严密的防控体系,凝聚起坚不可摧的强大力量。广大人民群众识大体、顾大局,自觉配合疫情防控斗争大局,形成了疫情防控的基础性力量。古人说:“能用众力,则无敌于天下矣;能用众智,则无畏于圣人矣。”我国社会主义民主是维护人民根本利益的最广泛、最真实、最管用的民主。我们要坚持人民民主,更好把人民的智慧和力量凝聚到党和人民事业中来。内蒙古自治区是我国最早成立的民族自治区。希望你们坚持和完善民族区域自治制度,加强各民族交往交流交融,加快民族地区经济社会发展步伐,继续在促进各民族团结进步上走在前列。

  做好统筹疫情防控和经济社会发展工作,要紧紧依靠人民。这次疫情给我国经济社会发展造成了较大冲击和影响,但我国经济稳中向好、长期向好的基本面没有改变。世界上任何事物都有其两面性,这次疫情是一场危机,但某种程度上也孕育了新的契机。要积极主动作为,在推进重大项目建设、支持市场主体发展、加快产业结构调整、提升基层治理能力等方面推出一些管用举措,有针对性地部署对高质量发展、高效能治理具有牵引性的重大规划、重大改革、重大政策,在应对危机中掌握工作主动权、打好发展主动仗。

  第三,不断造福人民。我们推动经济社会发展,归根到底是为了不断满足人民群众对美好生活的需要。要始终把人民安居乐业、安危冷暖放在心上,用心用情用力解决群众关心的就业、教育、社保、医疗、住房、养老、食品安全、社会治安等实际问题,一件一件抓落实,一年接着一年干,努力让群众看到变化、得到实惠。

  内蒙古在今年3月已经宣布所有贫困县全部摘帽。要巩固和拓展产业就业扶贫成果,做好易地扶贫搬迁后续扶持,推动脱贫攻坚和乡村振兴有机衔接。受疫情影响,今年稳就业任务十分繁重,要做好高校毕业生、农民工、退役军人等重点群体就业工作。这次疫情暴露出我们在公共卫生体系等方面还存在一些短板和不足,要抓紧完善重大疫情防控救治体系和公共卫生体系,加强城乡社区等基层防控能力建设,广泛开展爱国卫生运动,更好保障人民生命安全和身体健康。

  要把为民造福作为最重要的政绩。中国共产党把为民办事、为民造福作为最重要的政绩,把为老百姓办了多少好事实事作为检验政绩的重要标准。党员、干部特别是领导干部要清醒认识到,自己手中的权力、所处的岗位,是党和人民赋予的,是为党和人民做事用的,只能用来为民谋利。各级领导干部要树立正确的权力观、政绩观、事业观,不慕虚荣,不务虚功,不图虚名,切实做到为官一任、造福一方。

  比如说,生态环境保护就是为民造福的百年大计。内蒙古生态状况如何,不仅关系全区各族群众生存和发展,而且关系华北、东北、西北乃至全国生态安全。这些年,你们深入实施重点生态工程,深入开展污染防治攻坚战,推动亮丽内蒙古建设迈出了重要步伐。内蒙古干部群众60多年来坚持不懈治理毛乌素沙地,现在治理率达到70%,生态呈现整体改善态势,是很了不起的成绩!要保持加强生态文明建设的战略定力,牢固树立生态优先、绿色发展的导向,着力抓好黄河流域、“一湖两海”、乌海及周边地区等重点区域生态环境综合治理,持续打好蓝天、碧水、净土保卫战,把祖国北疆这道万里绿色长城构筑得更加牢固。



  2022年8月16日至17日,中共中央总书记、国家主席、中央军委主席习近平在辽宁考察。这是17日下午,习近平在沈阳市皇姑区三台子街道牡丹社区群众活动中心,同幸福教育课堂的孩子们亲切交流。 新华社记者 申宏/摄


  第四,牢牢植根人民。我们党要做到长期执政,就必须永远保持同人民群众的血肉联系,始终同人民群众想在一起、干在一起、风雨同舟、同甘共苦。党的十八大以来,我们一以贯之全面从严治党,坚定不移反对和惩治腐败,坚持不懈整治“四风”,进行党的群众路线教育实践活动、“不忘初心、牢记使命”主题教育,就是要教育引导广大党员、干部始终同人民群众同呼吸、共命运、心连心。要坚定不移反对腐败,坚持不懈反对和克服形式主义、官僚主义,防止发生因脱离群众而最终失去群众的现象。

  ※这是习近平总书记2020年5月22日在参加十三届全国人大三次会议内蒙古代表团审议时讲话的主要部分。
