Abstract: To strengthen the Party discipline unswervingly in an all-round manner and to improve the Party’s governing capability and leadership continuously is an important assertion put forward by General Secretary Xi Jinping in the report of the Party’s Nineteenth Congress. Since the Party’s 18th National Congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping has put forward a series of new ideas for strengthening the Party discipline in a comprehensive manner with a focus on the major realistic problems in the Party’s construction under the new situation. These new ideas are produced on the basis of the inheritance and enrichment of the Chinese traditional culture of an honesty and clean government, the drawing of the lessons from the Marxist party building ideology, and the inheritance and development of the Marxist party building ideology with Chinese characteristics. Its intrinsic logic has four levels of content: the goal orientation, i.e., to forge a strong core leadership in the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics; the core issue, i.e., to maintain the flesh-and-blood relationship between the Party and the masses of the people; the important measure, i.e., to promote the construction of the Party conduct and of a clean and honest government and the struggle against corruption; and the basic strategy, i.e., to adhere to the close integration of building the Party ideologically and governing the Party institutionally.

Key words: Xi Jinping; new era; comprehensively strengthening the Party discipline
