Serious inner-party political life is a major issue of comprehensively administering the party strictly. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader put forward a series of original and important expositions, which provided theoretical guidance and action guide for serious inner-party political life under the new situation.　　

　　Highlight the great significance of serious inner-party political life

　　Serious inner-party political life is the essential requirement of Marxist political parties and the fine tradition of our party. In September 2013, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out when attending the special democratic life meeting of the Standing Committee of Hebei Provincial Party Committee that serious political life within the party is an important magic weapon to ensure the creativity, cohesion and combat effectiveness of the party and the unity and unity of the party, and it is also a fine tradition that our party has long adhered to. On October 8, 2014, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out in his speech at the summary meeting of the Party’s mass line education practice activities that serious political life within the Party requires many efforts, of which the most important point is "to make the whole party deeply understand the essential characteristics of Marxist political parties different from other political parties". The Communist Party of China (CPC) is a Marxist political party and a political group organized on the basis of common ideals and programs. It has a strict organizational system and a high degree of organizational discipline. This essential attribute of Marxist political party determines that it must be serious about the political life within the party in order to maintain its combat effectiveness and cohesion. Our party has always attached great importance to strict inner-party life, made unremitting explorations in different historical periods of revolution, construction and reform, and formed a series of effective practices, which is an important reason why our party can overcome all kinds of difficulties and obstacles from small to large and from weak to strong, and from victory to victory.

　　Serious inner-party political life is the basic project of strictly administering the party in an all-round way and a powerful guarantee for winning the great struggle. On July 1, 2016, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized in his speech at the celebration of the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC): "Serious inner-party political life is the foundation for the comprehensive and strict administration of the Party. To manage the party, the party must first manage the political life within the party; To strictly manage the party, we must first start from the political life within the party. " The reason why serious inner-party political life has been raised to the height of strictly administering the Party in an all-round way is because the abnormal and serious inner-party political life has brought serious harm for a period of time, and it is also because serious inner-party political life is a melting pot to exercise party spirit and improve ideological education, a key to solving contradictions within the Party and an important magic weapon to strengthen the unity and unity of the Party. At present, our party is uniting and leading the people of the whole country in a great struggle with many new historical characteristics. The tasks it faces are extremely arduous and the challenges are very severe. Through serious inner-party political life, it will provide a strong political guarantee for strengthening the Party’s self-purification, self-perfection, self-innovation and self-improvement and ensuring that the Party will always be the strong leading core of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cause.　　

　　Systematically discuss the inner direction of serious inner-party political life.

　　Clearly put forward the basic norms of political life within the party. On June 28th, 2016, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader systematically expounded the basic norms of inner-party political life for the first time when he presided over the thirty-third collective study in the Political Bureau of the Central Committee. This is that our party has gradually formed the basic norms of inner-party political life with the main contents of seeking truth from facts, integrating theory with practice, keeping close contact with the masses, criticizing and self-criticizing, democratic centralism and strict party discipline in long-term practice. It contains the party’s ideological line, three major styles of work, fundamental organizational system, leadership system and discipline requirements, which provide guidance for further clarifying the specific institutional norms of the party’s political life.

　　Strengthen the political life within the party, the political times and the principle of fighting. Since September 2013, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly stressed on different occasions that it is necessary to "enhance the political, principled and combative nature of inner-party life" in order to solve problems and achieve practical results. To strengthen the political requirements, we must overcome the vulgarization tendency, adhere to party constitution’s party rules and the party’s political line, and grasp the correct political direction; To strengthen the principle requirements, we must overcome the tendency of randomness, establish the bottom line thinking and strengthen the awareness of discipline and rules; In order to enhance the combativeness, we must overcome the tendency of dullness, dare to expose shortcomings and expose ugliness, move the truth and encounter difficulties, and dare to confront each other. Strengthening the times of inner-party political life was put forward by General Secretary of the Supreme Leader in his "July 1st" speech this year. On the basis of persistence and strengthening, the focus is to keep up with the pace of the times, keep close to the reality of party member, stick to outstanding issues, innovate the content and form of inner-party political life, and enhance its attraction, appeal and effectiveness.

　　The organic combination of serious inner-party political life and purifying inner-party political ecology. Purifying the inner-party political ecology is a new major proposition put forward by the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader since the 18th National Congress. The general secretary stressed that strengthening party building must create a good political environment, that is, a good political ecology. On June 28th, 2016, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee took "Seriously inner-party political life and purifying inner-party political ecology" as the theme of the 33rd collective study. In the "July 1st" speech, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader put serious inner-party political life and comprehensive purification of inner-party political ecology together. The reason why they are linked together is that they interact and are inseparable. On the one hand, political life creates political ecology, and what kind of inner-party political life there is, good inner-party political ecology comes from serious inner-party political life; On the other hand, political ecology affects political life, and a good inner-party political ecology will also provide rich nourishment for the development of inner-party political life. It is an integrated innovation in the theory and practice of party building to bring serious inner-party political life and purify inner-party political ecology into the strategy of strictly administering the party in an all-round way.　　

　　Profoundly expound the key ideas of serious inner-party political life

　　Conscientiously implement democratic centralism. In June 2013, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out in his speech at the National Organizational Work Conference: "The most fundamental thing for serious inner-party life is to conscientiously implement the party’s democratic centralism." There are several points worth noting here: First, insufficient promotion of democracy and insufficient correct concentration exist at the same time, but relatively speaking, the former is more prominent. In the words of the General Secretary, it is "mainly because democracy is not enough, and the phenomenon of leading cadres going their own way and acting arbitrarily is more common". Therefore, it is particularly important to strengthen inner-party democracy and inner-party supervision, especially the supervision of the top leaders. The second is to strengthen the reporting system. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly emphasized the strengthening of the system of asking for instructions and reporting, because this is a major institutional advantage of the Communist Party of China (CPC), an effective working mechanism for implementing democratic centralism, and an important aspect of political life and organizational discipline within the Party. The third is to form a "six haves" political situation. In 1957, Comrade Mao Zedong put forward "a political situation with centralization and democracy, discipline and freedom, unity of will and personal ease and liveliness", which is the ideal state of earnestly implementing democratic centralism and still the pursuit goal of serious inner-party political life and purifying inner-party political ecology today.

　　Use the sharp weapon of criticism and self-criticism. Criticism and self-criticism are important contents of inner-party political life, and they are also powerful weapons for serious inner-party political life. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed the need to make full use of criticism and self-criticism, which is a sharp weapon to "solve contradictions within the party and remove all kinds of political dust and political microorganisms within the party". He pointed out that "some localities and departments have lost their tolerance and loose management of the party, and one of the important reasons is that there is not enough criticism and self-criticism in party life". To solve this problem, on the one hand, we should persistently strengthen party spirit education, and solve some party member cadres who are disturbed by selfishness, trapped by human feelings, tired by relationships and confused by interests. On the other hand, we should vigorously carry forward the ideological line of seeking truth from facts. "A thousand people’s Nuo Nuo is not as good as a scholar’s criticism", and we should persist in "not catching braids, not wearing hats, not hitting sticks and not bagging"

　　Strictly implement the system of organizational life within the party. Strict organizational life of the Party is the basic content and important guarantee for serious political life within the Party. It is necessary to promote the institutionalization, regularization and standardization of the organizational life of the Party, and earnestly implement the systems of "three meetings and one lesson", democratic life meeting and dual organizational life of leading cadres. On the one hand, adhere to the correct ideological struggle within the party. Classical Marxist writers and Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping and other revolutionaries of the older generation attach great importance to strengthening ideological struggle within the Party, which is an important ideological guarantee for Marxist political parties to maintain the advanced nature and purity of the Party. Today, when the social values are diverse and complex and the ideological field is facing fierce struggle, it is particularly urgent to carry out correct ideological struggle, dare to show swords, stir up turmoil and unify thoughts within the party. On the other hand, we must reaffirm unity — Criticism — The formula of unity. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out at the party’s work conference on mass line education and practice activities that to hold a good democratic life meeting, party organizations at all levels should educate party member cadres to adhere to "unity — Criticism — Unity "formula. This formula is our party’s basic policy to solve inner-party contradictions formed in the rectification movement, that is, from the desire of unity, through active inner-party ideological struggle and criticism and self-criticism, to achieve stronger unity on a new basis. To implement the system of organizational life within the party, we should reaffirm and adhere to this formula and strengthen the unity and unity of the party on the basis of correct ideological struggle within the party.

Improve efficiency, reduce costs, and strive for more space for reducing rates-
Social security transfer will not increase the overall burden of enterprises.

Since January 1, 2019, all social insurance premiums and non-tax income transferred in advance have been uniformly collected by the tax authorities. After the social insurance premium is uniformly collected by the tax authorities, the ability and efficiency of collection and management will be further improved, which will help to strive for more space for the overall reduction of social insurance rates and promote the reduction of social insurance rates. For enterprises that pay fees according to law, the burden of social security fees will gradually decrease reasonably after tax collection-

According to the central government’s decision on institutional reform, since January 1, 2019, the tax authorities have uniformly collected various social insurance premiums and non-tax income transferred first.

Why should social insurance premiums be uniformly collected by the tax authorities? After the reform of the collection system, will the burden of payment increase substantially? Will the next step be to reduce the social security rate? The reporter interviewed experts and scholars on related issues.

Lay the foundation for promoting national overall planning

At present, China’s social insurance premiums are subject to a dual collection system. According to the Provisional Regulations on the Collection and Payment of Social Insurance Fees issued by the State Council in 1999, social insurance fees can be collected by tax authorities or social insurance agencies. A variety of collection modes have been formed nationwide, such as full responsibility collection by social security institutions, full responsibility collection by tax authorities, and double-department collection.

According to statistics, by the end of 2017, the tax authorities of 24 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country had participated in the collection of social security fees to varying degrees, and the amount collected had accounted for 43.3% of the total income of social security fees in the country.

"With the goal of achieving full coverage of social insurance, China has implemented the national insurance plan in depth, and the coverage of various social insurances has been continuously expanded and outstanding achievements have been made. In the new era, we should gradually establish a national overall social security system on the basis of "expanding the scope", unify the subject of collection and improve the efficiency of collection. It can be said that the unified collection of social security fees by the tax authorities has opened a new stage of social security reform and laid the foundation for promoting national overall planning. " Feng Qiaobin, a professor at the Central Party School (National School of Administration), said.

"Based on the tax authorities’ full responsibility collection, it is the most cost-effective reform plan to improve the collection rate, reduce compliance costs and administrative costs, and ensure the safety of funds." Zhang Bin, a researcher at the Institute of Finance and Economics of China Academy of Social Sciences, said.

According to reports, in 2017, the State Council entrusted China Academy of Social Sciences to set up an expert group to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of China’s social security fee collection system. The main conclusion of the expert group is that the tax department can collect social security fees and non-tax income, and can implement coordinated management of taxes and fees, which has the professional advantages of higher efficiency, lower cost and more standardized law enforcement. At the same time, freeing the social security department and its agencies from the heavy collection task can focus more on the main business and concentrate on doing a better job in expanding coverage, registration, rights and interests recording and payment of benefits.

In February this year, the Plan for Deepening the Reform of Party and State Institutions, which was deliberated and adopted by the Third Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, clearly stated that "in order to improve the efficiency of the collection and management of social insurance funds, various social insurance premiums such as basic old-age insurance premiums, basic medical insurance premiums and unemployment insurance premiums will be uniformly collected by the tax authorities."

At the same time, the State Council made it clear that the provincial people’s governments bear the main responsibility for the transfer of social insurance fee collection and management responsibilities in the region. At present, 14 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities such as Hainan, Xizang, Shaanxi and Dalian have held mobilization and deployment meetings; Guangdong, Guangxi, Qingdao and other six provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have issued opinions on the implementation of the transfer of social insurance premiums and non-tax revenue collection and management responsibilities and the collection and management handover plan.

The standard burden level of collection remains unchanged.

After the social insurance premium is collected by the tax authorities, will the burden of payment increase significantly? In this regard, relevant experts said that the tax authorities manage the collection in accordance with national laws and regulations and social security policies formulated by governments at all levels according to law, and the levy of more and less must be implemented according to laws and regulations, and the collection standards cannot be adjusted by themselves. Under the premise that the policy remains unchanged, the collection standard and burden level will not change, and the burden of payment will not increase because of the collection by the tax authorities. The tax authorities mainly increase income by plugging the leakage according to law to realize the sustainable growth of social security fee income.

In fact, it can also be seen from the provinces that have collected social security fees to varying degrees by the tax authorities that the social security fee collection responsibilities have all increased reasonably after the transfer. Taking Henan as an example, in 2017, when it was transferred to the tax authorities for collection, the income of five social security premiums of enterprise employees increased by 13.27%, and the comparable caliber increased by about 14%. Among them, 8% is due to the natural increase of wages, and only about 6% is due to the increase brought about by the tax authorities’ plugging and increasing income according to law and cooperation with the social and social departments’ enrollment expansion.

In the areas where the tax authorities are fully responsible for the collection, such as Liaoning, Heilongjiang, Fujian, Xiamen and Guangdong, the average growth rates in the past five years are 7.47%, 6.23%, 12.90%, 12.60% and 12.48% respectively, and the collection work is generally stable, and there is no significant increase in the burden on enterprises. Generally speaking, in the areas where the tax authorities collect social security fees, the fee base has been implemented year by year, the rate has decreased steadily, and the income has increased steadily.

The executive meeting of the State Council held on September 6th emphasized that there are a lot of accumulated pensions in China, which can ensure that they are paid in full and on time. Before the reform of social security collection institutions is put in place, all localities should keep the existing collection policies unchanged, and at the same time, pay close attention to the study of appropriately reducing the social security premium rate to ensure that the overall burden on enterprises will not be increased, so as to stimulate market vitality and guide social expectations to improve.

The reporter was informed that local tax authorities are refining the implementation plan to ensure the effective connection of business work and the timely implementation of reform tasks. At the same time, by standardizing the management of payment, the collection work is ensured to be stable and orderly, and no surprise or sports arrears inventory is carried out.

"At present, the social security situation varies greatly from place to place, and the reform should be planned as a whole and promoted steadily, and space should be reserved for the next step of reform." Liu Changping, an expert in social security and a professor at beijing university of chemical technology College of Law, said.

Fan Ziying, a professor at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, suggested that a clear transition policy could be established for some irregular situations in the past to avoid bringing too much impact to enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises.

The nominal rate of social security is still high.

Since 2015, China has reduced the social security rate four times, and the overall social security rate has dropped from 41% to 37.25%, reducing the cost of enterprises by about 315 billion yuan. This year, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued the Notice on Continuing to Reduce Social Insurance Rates in Stages. Since May 1 this year, the social insurance rates will continue to be reduced in stages. However, at present, the nominal rate of social insurance is still high, and many enterprises feel that the burden is biased.

At the same time, due to the lack of compulsory social insurance payment system in China, some enterprises and employees have poor awareness of paying social insurance premiums, which leads to a low social insurance collection rate and a certain gap between the actual rate and the nominal rate.

"At present, China’s population aging situation is grim, and it is necessary to further promote the reform of the old-age insurance system, including standardizing the old-age insurance payment policy. One of the important reasons for the high nominal rate of social security in China is the low payment base and collection rate. " Liu Changping said.

After the social insurance premiums are collected by the tax authorities in a unified way, the ability and efficiency of collection and management will be improved, which will help to strive for more space for the overall reduction of social insurance rates and promote the reduction of social insurance rates. From this point of view, for enterprises that pay fees according to law, the burden of social security fees will gradually decrease reasonably after being collected by the tax authorities. "In the reform, the real fee base and the reduction of the rate should be considered simultaneously." Feng Qiaobin said.

Sun Jie, vice president of the School of Insurance of the University of International Business and Economics, also believes that the current social insurance, especially the old-age insurance, is the time to further reduce the rate. "In the past, there were some problems such as false payment base, missing payment and underpayment. Now, on the one hand, we should strengthen the collection and management, and on the other hand, we should lower the social security rate."

The joint meeting of five departments, including the State Administration of Taxation, held on August 20th pointed out that "through the reform, the establishment of a system and mechanism for collecting social insurance premiums and non-tax revenues with clear responsibilities, smooth processes, standardized collection and management, strong collaboration, convenience and efficiency will help lay a good foundation for improving the overall level of social insurance premiums, and for studying and promoting the timely improvement of the payment ratio and the legalization of non-tax revenues". On September 6th, the executive meeting of the State Council once again emphasized that "we should pay close attention to the study of appropriately reducing the social security premium rate", which explained the overall consideration and promotion of the country to reduce the social security premium rate.

The problem of reducing social security burden is highly valued everywhere. The Guangdong Provincial Government recently issued a document, clearly proposing "reducing the cost of enterprise social insurance", promoting the provincial-level overall planning of endowment insurance in the province, and implementing the unified contribution ratio of enterprise endowment insurance units in the province. If the unit contribution ratio is higher than 14%, 14% will be implemented; Reasonably determine the upper and lower limits of the payment base of enterprise endowment insurance, and gradually transition to the unified standard of the whole province.

Experts suggest that the relevant departments should start the calculation of social insurance premium income in time, find out the fee base, rate and income base, calculate the change of income, properly handle the relationship between the intensity of collection and management and the degree of social affordability in combination with the overall economic operation, and make overall consideration of optimizing collection and management and reducing taxes and fees.

"’cost reduction’ is one of the important tasks of supply-side structural reform, which requires reducing the tax burden of enterprises. Social security fund payment accounts for a large proportion of the tax burden of enterprises, and the social security rate still needs to be lowered in the future. Under the premise that the nominal rate will only drop, only by increasing the actual collection rate can we alleviate the financial pressure, reduce the payment burden of enterprises in the open and ensure fairness. " Zhang Bin said. (Reporter Zeng Jinhua)

　　BEIJING, Dec. 14 (Xinhua) According to Kyodo News, it has been three years since the U.S. military Futenma Airport in Okinawa, Japan, moved to the ancient border of Nago City in the county and reclaimed land. On the same day, people who opposed the airport’s moving in took a kayak and protested at sea near the landfill, demanding that the project be stopped.

　　According to the report, small boats and about 30 kayaks gathered in the sea near the landfill site, and the protesters held high placards or banners such as "Protect the beautiful sea" and "Don’t throw sand". Facing the passing sand carriers and dump trucks, they shouted slogans such as "Stop illegal projects" and "Don’t kill corals".

　　According to reports, in front of the Schwab military camp of the US army next to the project site, people who opposed it also gathered.

　　On the 13th, Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Hiroichi Matsuno emphasized the consistent position of the government at a press conference, saying that "moving to the border town is the only solution".

　　It was previously reported that the U.S. military Futenma base is located in Ginowan City, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, and has been criticized for its proximity to residential areas. The Japanese and American governments had previously agreed to relocate it to the ancient border area of Nago City, the prefecture. Okinawa people strongly oppose this and hope to completely move the base out of Okinawa. However, under the impetus of the American and Japanese governments, since December 2018, the region has started to reclaim land from the sea to promote the relocation plan.

　　According to reports, Okinawa Prefecture lost one after another in the lawsuit with the Japanese central government. Due to the discovery of soft foundation in the on-site sea area, in December 2019, the central government announced that in order to implement the foundation improvement project, the construction period will be extended from the original 5 years to about 9 years and 3 months. In April 2020, the central government applied to the county government for design changes. In November 2021, the governor of the county made a decision not to approve.
