After carefully listening to the speeches of the representatives, Xi Jinping delivered an important speech. He pointed out that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has led the people's army with unprecedented determination and strength to deepen political education and promote political army building, achieving significant results. The army holds guns, and there can be no one with a dual heart towards the Party in the army, and no place for corrupt elements to hide. It is necessary to firmly advance the fight against corruption. At the beginning of the "14th Five-Year Plan," strict supervision and rules must be established, focusing closely on key aspects such as the flow of funds, exercise of power, and quality control, strengthening supervision of major projects, enhancing military-civilian integration oversight, ensuring construction under the premise of supervision. It is necessary to advance reform in military budget management, maintain dynamic balance between military expenditure supply and demand, strengthen full-chain control of fund use and performance evaluation, ensuring every penny is used effectively. Xi Jinping emphasized that to achieve the goals and tasks of national defense and military modernization in the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, overall leadership and promotion by Party organizations at all levels are essential. It is necessary to comprehensively strengthen the Party's leadership and party building in the military, select and strengthen high-level party committees, enhance the independent building capacity of grass-roots party organizations, and make party organizations at all levels more robust. It is necessary to adhere to the Party's control over the military, Party's control over cadres and industries, improve scientific decision-making abilities, take a key role in tackling major tasks, resolving prominent contradictions, and solving development difficulties, transforming the Party's leadership advantage into development advantage. Xi Jinping pointed out that it is necessary to strengthen the construction of a revolutionary and specialized talent team, persistently use the Party's innovative theories to nurture souls, lay a solid ideological foundation for soldiers to listen to the Party and follow the Party, ensuring that modern weapons and equipment are controlled by a revolutionized talent team. It is essential to improve systems and conditions to promote talent development, systematically promote the cultivation of "four types of talents" in joint combat command, new types of combat forces, high-level scientific innovation, and high-level strategic management, achieving coordinated development of human capabilities and strong military practice. Xi Jinping stressed that it is crucial to vigorously inherit and carry forward the fine traditions of our Party and military, promote the construction of a strong military culture in the new era, strengthen the cultivation and motivation of advanced models, pass on the red genes from generation to generation, and make positive energy more abundant. It is necessary to regard the grassroots as the fertile soil for continuing fine traditions, actively explore the laws and beneficial practices of grassroots construction under new circumstances, pay attention to fundamental, long-term, and sustainable work, and make the foundation of military construction and combat capability more solid.
