党的十六大明确指出:“我们党的最大政治优势是密切联系群众,党执政后的最大危险是脱离群众。”脱离群众的突出表现是形式主义、官僚主义和腐败现象。这三股歪风相互影响,相互助长,严重损害了党的形象,损害了党和政府同人民群众的血肉联系,已成为影响我们事业发展的一大祸害,必 The 16th National Congress of the CPC made it clear that “the greatest political advantage of our party is its close liaison with the masses. The greatest danger after the party is in power is its graduation from the masses.” The outstanding manifestations of disengagement from the masses are the phenomena of formalism, bureaucratism and corruption. These three unhealthy tendencies have mutual influence and encourage each other, have seriously damaged the image of the party and undermined the flesh-blood ties between the party and the government and the people and have become a major scourge that has affected the development of our cause.
