Xinhua Commentary: Preventing deviation in implementing strict regulations during tough times

The article published by Xinhua News Agency pointed out that since the implementation of the revised "Regulations on Thrift and Opposition to Waste in Party and Government Organs", it has further tightened the "screws" for party and government organs to lead a frugal life. At the same time, some voices of criticism have also appeared from time to time, juxtaposing party and government organs leading a frugal life with inspiring the work efficiency of cadres, leading the masses to a good life, and vigorously boosting consumption. Treating living a frugal life as an excuse for "lying flat" is contrary to work efficiency, forgetting the significance of "frugality"; treating living a frugal life as tightening the "belt" of the masses is contrary to leading the masses to a good life, misunderstanding the direction of "frugality"; treating living a frugal life as influencing industry economic factors is contrary to boosting consumption, overlooking the purpose of "frugality".
