Provincial Tobacco Companies Emphasize Implementation of Xi Jinping's Important Speech

Aug.02.2022
Tobacco regulatory bodies in several Chinese provinces hold meetings to study and implement Xi Jinping's important speech.

On July 29th, the Tobacco Monopoly Bureau of Qinghai Province held an expanded party meeting to study the important speech by General Secretary Xi Jinping. The bureau emphasized that the entire tobacco commercial system in the province must seriously implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi's important speech, deeply understand the decisive significance of "two solidifications," enhance "four consciousnesses," strengthen "four confidences," and achieve "two maintenances". They also stressed the importance of political loyalty and continuing to promote the deep development of comprehensive strict governance of the party. The focus should be on putting political development first, highlighting theoretical armed forces, continuing to strengthen the theoretical foundation, and ensuring that Qinghai's tobacco industry always develops in the correct political direction. Additionally, they emphasized the need to strengthen their sense of responsibility, fulfill their political, economic, and social responsibilities to stabilize the macroeconomic situation, consciously integrate into the overall development of the industry, focus on "maintaining economic operations within a reasonable range," coordinate pandemic prevention and control with production and operation, and ensure that they remain focused on achieving their annual economic operation target tasks. Finally, the bureau expressed the need to further concentrate their efforts, focusing on achieving effective results for key tasks, fully implementing the "five more emphasis" work requirements, maintaining strategic confidence, enhancing their confidence, and being vigilant in preventing and resolving risks. The bureau will also emphasize the importance of party construction, business refinement, strict team management, and solid compliance to achieve excellent results in preparation for the successful convening of the Party's 20th National Congress.


The Hainan Tobacco Monopoly Bureau recently issued a notice after holding a party meeting to learn from the important speech by General Secretary Xi Jinping, requiring all party members to consciously align their thoughts and actions with the decisions made by the Central Party Committee, and take practical actions to welcome the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The bureau emphasized the importance of improving ideological understanding, taking the learning of the important speech as a top priority in current ideological preparation. Focusing on the theme of the congress, the bureau will carefully arrange and deploy, effectively implement organizational efforts, and guide party members and cadres to deeply understand the rich connotations and practical requirements of the speech, to truly comprehend the significance of "two establishing" decisions, to enhance the "four consciousness", strengthen the "four self-confidences", and fulfill the "two maintenances". All levels of party organizations should convey and implement the speech as soon as possible, use various forms of study such as central group learning, "three meetings and one class", and thematic party day activities. They should use industry websites, the "Study Strong Nation" app, and other resources to promote thorough studying and comprehension of the new perspectives, judgments, and measures proposed in the speech, quickly ignite a learning trend, gather broad consensus, ensure in-depth study, and master the essentials. The learning of the important speech should be combined with the implementation of relevant conferences in the tobacco business system of the province and own tasks should be carried out solidly and efficiently, to resolutely accomplish the targets and tasks in the second half of the year, and to effectively coordinate the epidemic prevention and control and production operations. This ensures that the economy operates in a reasonable range, and that service and implementation of prioritized tasks reflect the learning results.


The party leadership of the Shenzhen Tobacco Monopoly Bureau recently held a meeting emphasizing the speech made by General Secretary Xi Jinping at a special seminar for provincial and ministerial-level leaders. The speech holds great political, theoretical, and practical significance in helping the whole party understand the decisive importance of the "two consolidations," further enhancing the "four consciousnesses," firming up the "four confidences," and achieving the goal of "two safeguards." In future work, officials will elevate their political standing, embracing the political commitment to wholeheartedly support the "two consolidations" and resolutely fulfill the goal of "two safeguards." Officials will immediately develop and implement plans to study, promote, and carry out the speech under the direction of their leaders; they will also emphasize integration and application of the study's findings. By actively applying innovative party theory to practice and working hard to transform learning into practical initiatives and effects, officials will welcome the 20th National Congress of the Party with real-world accomplishments.
