On this day, 27 years ago, on October 6, 1998 (August 16, 1998 in the lunar calendar), a working meeting was held for the military, armed police, and political and legal organs to no longer engage in business activities. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the State Council, and the Central Military Commission held a working conference on the military, armed police, and political and legal organs to no longer engage in business activities in Beijing from October 6 to 7. Guided by Comrade Deng Xiaoping's series of important expositions on anti-corruption and the spirit of Comrade Jiang Zemin's recent important speeches, the meeting thoroughly implemented the central government's major decision that the military, armed police, and political and legal organs no longer engage in business activities, reviewed and summarized the previous stage. Work, study and discuss the implementation plan, focus on making arrangements for the next step of enterprise revocation and handover, and require all relevant parties to work together, cooperate closely, and work solidly. Ensure that the task of completely decoupling the military, armed police force, and political and legal organs from the commercial enterprises they run is completed on schedule. Hu Jintao, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau and Secretary of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, delivered an important speech at the meeting. Hu Jintao said in his speech that more than two months ago, while deploying joint anti-smuggling operations and special struggles, the central government made the decision that the military, armed police, and political and legal organs would no longer engage in business activities. After this major decision was announced, it immediately aroused strong repercussions at home and abroad and won the heartfelt support of the whole party, the entire army and the people of the country. Hu Jintao said that the Party Central Committee attaches great importance to this work. Comrade Jiang Zemin has repeatedly emphasized the great strategic significance of this decision in several important speeches in recent times, and clearly stated that the military, armed police force, and political and legal organs must stop all business activities and immediately disconnect from all operating companies run by affiliated units. The military and armed police forces must all "eat the royal food", and the political and legal organs must also all "eat the royal food." We must grasp this important and complex task very tightly, and we must work hard to achieve the expected goal. The spirit of Comrade Jiang Zemin's many important instructions is an important guiding ideology for doing this work well. We must study it in depth, comprehensively understand it, and conscientiously implement it. In his speech, Hu Jintao elaborated on issues such as the scope of enterprise handover and cancellation, the principles, methods and steps for enterprise handover, ensuring the funds needed for the military, armed police force, and political and legal organs to perform their functions, and properly resettling relevant personnel in the implementation plan. Hu Jintao emphasized that now, the central government's major policy on no longer engaging in business activities has been clarified. The key is to follow the central government's unified deployment and requirements, and make greater efforts to implement it in accordance with the central government's unified deployment and requirements, so as to achieve the established goals. He focused on putting forward six requirements on how to do the next step. First, we must further improve our ideological understanding. Second, we must act in accordance with policies to the letter. We must strictly implement policies and resolutely safeguard the seriousness and authority of policies. Enterprises that should be handed over must be handed over unequivocally and must not pay losses but not profits; enterprises that should be handed over must not hesitate to take over the business well and must not accept the business well; enterprises that should be withdrawn must be withdrawn without hesitation and must not be retained in disguise; enterprises that should be decoupled must be completely decoupled, and must not be connected in any way. Third, we must strengthen coordination and cooperation. We must advocate unity and unity, and not shirk the buck in work; advocate focusing on the big picture and not entangling some minor issues; advocate focusing on style and taking the overall situation into account, and not just considering the interests of local or small groups. As long as the military and civilians are united, the military and government are united, and the upper and lower levels are united and coordinate and cooperate, we will surely be able to do a good job. Fourth, we must maintain overall stability. Fifth, discipline must be strictly enforced. Currently, this work has entered the implementation stage. The central government has clearly stipulated five disciplines, which must be strictly observed and prohibited. For those who do not listen to orders and violate laws and disciplines, they must be investigated and punished one by one and dealt with severely in accordance with party, political and military disciplines. Those who violate the criminal law must be punished in accordance with the law, without mercy or tolerance. Sixth, we must effectively strengthen leadership. Leading agencies at all levels must take the lead in implementing the central government's decisions. First of all, they must decouple their agencies from their affiliated enterprises as soon as possible and hand them over as soon as possible to set an example for the grassroots. It is necessary to effectively give full play to the role of party organizations as a fighting fortress and the exemplary and leading role of party members and cadres. At the meeting, Zhang Wannian, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission, also spoke. He said that our army is a people's army under the leadership of the Party. It has always listened to the Party and consciously followed it. Whether in war years or peacetime, no matter how difficult the conditions are, how complex the situation is, or how great the sacrifices are, as long as the party and the people call for it, our army will move forward bravely without hesitation or delay. In this year's flood fighting and rescue struggle, at the critical moment when the motherland and the people needed it most, under President Jiang's order, more than 300,000 officers and soldiers of our army responded to the wind and fought bravely, building the indestructible Great Wall of Steel with their flesh and blood. Together with the people, they wrote a heroic song that swallowed mountains and rivers. This time, the Party Central Committee and Chairman Jiang decided that the military and armed police forces will no longer engage in business activities. We want to implement orders and prohibitions, act vigorously, do a good job, and hand over another qualified answer sheet to the Party and the people, just like we did in flood fighting and rescue operations. The entire army and the armed police force must carry forward our army's fine tradition of taking into account the overall situation, insist on putting the interests of the party and the people first, correctly handle the relationship between the local and the overall situation, the current and the long-term, and the individual and the collective, and consciously act under the overall situation.
