The Core of Xi Jinping's View on Talents: Gathering the Talents of the world and Using them

General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance to the work of talents, puts the task of enhancing the talent awareness of the main leaders of the party and government at all levels in the first place, proposes to establish a strong awareness of talents, and also attaches great importance to the implementation of the strategy of strengthening the country with talents. At present, the key to the excavation and utilization of talents is to develop innovative talents, to build an institutional system, and the key is to improve the level of party management of talents.

The premise of talent mining and utilization is to enhance the awareness of talents, and the goal is to focus on talents to strengthen the country.

Consciousness is the forerunner of action. General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance to talent work and puts the task of enhancing the talent awareness of the main leaders of the party and government at all levels in the first place. In view of not being good at finding talents, General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: "it is necessary to establish a strong sense of talents, look for talents and be thirsty for talents, find that talents are like treasures, recommend talents without sticking to one pattern, and use talents to their best." for not being good at training talents, he pointed out that "talents are the most precious wealth for career development, and human resources are the fundamental resources for the party to govern and rejuvenate the country", "It is necessary to create a large-scale, high-quality, complete, and reasonable structure of talent team"; in view of the fact that he is not good at uniting talents, he demanded that for talents, "do a good job in uniting, leading, and serving, sincerely care for talents, cherish talents, and achieve talents, and encourage the broad masses of talents to contribute their wisdom and wisdom to the realization of the" two centenary "goals and the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation"; in view of not being good at making good use of talents, he pointed out that "material resources must be used less and less, while science and technology and talents will be used more and more"; in view of not being good at serving talents, he also proposed that "those who are still virtuous are the foundation of politics", "we should improve the working mechanism, enhance the sense of service, strengthen education and guidance, and build an innovation platform ...... to promote outstanding talents to stand out". These important expositions of General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward clear requirements for enhancing the talent awareness of the main leaders of the party and government, enriching and developing Marxist talent thinking, and are the forerunner and prerequisite for doing a good job in talent work under the new situation.

General Secretary Xi proposed to establish a strong awareness of talents, which is to require leaders at all levels to turn the corner, from the height of governing and rejuvenating the country, firmly establish the idea that talents are the first resource, the first capital, and the first driving force, and adhere to the two "Top leaders" grasp the first resource, raise the awareness of the importance of talents in the whole party and society, and build a brand-new talent development strategy system (five major changes): first, in the concept of talent development, it is necessary to speed up the transformation from priority accumulation of material capital to priority accumulation of talent capital; second, in the governance of talent development, it is necessary to speed up the transformation from policy norms to legal norms; third, in the mode of talent development, it is necessary to speed up the transformation from planned allocation to market allocation; fourth, in the focus of talent development, it is necessary to shift from giving priority to scale expansion to focusing on quality improvement and structural optimization; fifth, in the opening up of talent work, it is necessary to cooperate with the central "Belt and Road Initiative" initiative, implement a more open talent policy, regard the internationalization of talents as an important part of the strategy of strengthening the country with talents, actively participate in global competition for talents, and enhance the international competitiveness of China's talents.

General Secretary Xi Jinping has made important expositions on strengthening the country with talents many times, saying, "better implement the strategy of strengthening the country with talents and strive to build a team of high-quality talents who can stand at the forefront of world science and technology and have the courage to open up and innovate." encourage talents to devote their wisdom and strength to the great struggle to realize Chinese Dream, it is the major strategic decision made by the central government based on a deep understanding of the domestic and international situation and a sober estimation of the current situation of my country's talent development, which reflects our party and country to further exert the superiority of the socialist system in the field of talents and better realize the science of various undertakings. The determination and confidence of development ". In today's world, from an international point of view, the developed countries in the world are implementing the strategy of strengthening the country with talents. From a domestic perspective, my country's development has entered a new stage of accelerating the transformation from factor-driven, investment-driven to innovation-driven. The essence of innovation-driven is talent-driven. The key to economic transformation and structural adjustment depends on talent support. At present, the main problems facing the development of talents in our country are: the imbalance of talent structure, the lack of innovation ability, the lack of top talents, the unsatisfactory talent management system, and the imperfect talent mechanism. All these have caused the waste of human resources and inefficient allocation, and affected the exertion of talents' enthusiasm for innovation and entrepreneurship. We must take practical measures to solve them in the comprehensive deepening of reforms.

Marked by General Secretary Xi's speech, my country has accelerated the implementation of the strategy of strengthening the country with talents, and the vast number of talents have also contributed their wisdom and strength in the implementation of the country with talents. This is the fundamental task of my country's talent work in the new century. At present and in the future, vigorously implementing the strategy of strengthening the country with talents will highlight five key points: first, to build a large-scale talent team; second, to promote the strategic adjustment of talent structure; third, to strengthen the construction of high-level talent team; fourth, to promote the reform and innovation of talent development system and mechanism; fifth, to optimize the talent development environment.

Talent mining and utilization, the focus is on the development of innovative talents, the fundamental is to build a system.

In 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in his speech on an inspection tour in Dalian, "How can we achieve a well-off society in an all-round way? If we take the old road of extensive management, energy resources cannot support it. We must take a new road and rely on innovation drive". In his important speech at the 2014 Academician Conference of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Sciences, he also pointed out that "knowledge is power, and talent is the future. In order to lead the world in scientific and technological innovation, China must discover talents in innovation practice, cultivate talents in innovation activities and gather talents in innovation undertakings, and vigorously cultivate innovative scientific and technological talents with large scale, reasonable structure and excellent quality". After that, he stressed again at many important meetings that "innovation-driven is essentially talent-driven". Here, General Secretary Xi raised the role of scientific and technological talents in the innovation-driven development strategy to an unprecedented height, put forward new tasks for my country's scientific and technological work, and clarified the new direction of scientific and technological work, which is important for the in-depth implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy. Great practical significance and far-reaching historical significance.

"The root is at the grassroots level, and the emphasis is on implementation." To implement the spirit of General Secretary Jinping's speech, in response to the current problems of insufficient independent innovation capabilities, lack of high-end talents, and poor innovation environment facing scientific and technological innovation, all parts of the country have the courage to explore in practice and put forward many innovative measures: for example, accelerate the construction of innovation entities. It is to strengthen the dominant position and leading role of enterprise innovation, form a group of innovative leading enterprises with international competitiveness, and especially support the healthy development of small and medium-sized enterprises in science and technology. Shenzhen Huawei Group, with a research and development investment of nearly 60 billion in 2015, is at the forefront of the world. Another example is to vigorously enhance the dynamic mechanism of innovative talents. According to the experience of scientific and technological innovation and human resource management in developed countries, Guangdong has established three mechanisms: that is, to create a mechanism in which all labor and values that contribute to society are recognized and respected; to create a mechanism in which all kinds of investors at home and abroad are encouraged to start businesses in China; and to create an employment mechanism and distribution mechanism conducive to attracting and mobilizing the enthusiasm of all kinds of talents, so that everyone's creative rights and interests can be effectively protected, let innovative talents "gain fame and fortune" and "become rich once". Another example is to bring together innovative talents from around the world. Under the new situation, Shanghai has increased its efforts to introduce overseas innovative talents and paid attention to the implementation of the "three transformations". In recent years, it has successfully attracted more and more overseas talents. Also, create a good atmosphere for talent innovation and entrepreneurship. Deepen the reform of the talent development system and mechanism, gradually abolish the administrative levels of public institutions, accelerate the reform of "de-administration" and "official standard", and create a good environment for innovation and tolerance of failure. Although this reform is difficult, it must be tackled and broken through. As General Secretary Xi Jinping said, "Reform is a revolution, the reform is the system and mechanism, and the vested interests are moved. It is impossible to do it without real knives and guns".

The key to the competition of comprehensive national strength is the competition of talents, and the competition of talents is fundamentally the competition of systems. In May 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping gave important instructions for the construction of my country's talent system. He said: "The key to running China's affairs lies in the party, the key lies in people, and the key lies in talents. In the final analysis, the competition of comprehensive national strength is the competition of talents. It is necessary to intensify the implementation of reforms, implement the" Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the Talent Development System and Mechanism ", accelerate the construction of a globally competitive talent system, and gather talents from all over the world to use it. Efforts should be made to break down the obstacles of the system and mechanism, delegate power to the main body of employment, relax the binding of talents, let the innovation and creativity of talents fully burst out, and make all kinds of talents get their own place and do their best. It is necessary to establish a strong sense of talents, do a good job in unity, guidance, and service, sincerely care for talents, cherish talents, and achieve talents, and encourage the majority of talents to contribute to the realization of the" two centenary "goals and the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Wisdom." General Secretary Xi's important instructions have clarified the goals and directions for deepening the reform of the talent development system and mechanism, stimulating talent innovation and creativity, and further improving the ability and level of talent work governance. In the current reform of the talent system, we must first promote the reform of the talent management system. The current talent management system urgently needs to make great breakthroughs in four aspects: to make great breakthroughs in giving full play to the decisive role of the market in allocating talents; to make great breakthroughs in accelerating the transformation of government talent management functions; to make great breakthroughs in ensuring the implementation of the autonomy of employers; and to make great breakthroughs in strengthening the legal construction of talent management. second, it is necessary to reform the personnel work mechanism. We should grasp the key points of reform from six aspects: talent training, talent evaluation, talent flow, talent incentive, talent introduction and investment guarantee. Third, we should focus on solving three shortcomings: first, we should focus on solving the problems of administration and "official standard" in talent management. Second, efforts should be made to solve the problem of "three-only" (only academic qualifications, only professional titles and only papers) in talent evaluation. Third, efforts should be made to solve the problem of difficult transformation and income of scientific research achievements.

The key to the exploitation and utilization of talents is to improve the level of the party's management of talents.

One is to establish the party management is the positioning of strategic management. The focus of its work mainly includes the determination of strategic concepts, the formulation of strategic objectives, the construction of strategic systems, the selection of strategic tools and other aspects. However, in recent years, the action of the party in managing talents at the strategic level is not big enough, especially in the reform of the system and mechanism, which must be accelerated.

The second is to improve the leadership system of the Party's management of talent. The party's management of talents is the fundamental principle of talent work, and it is also the concentrated embodiment of the advantages of the talent system with Chinese characteristics. In reality, it is urgent to fully and accurately understand the principle of the party's management of talents, and further solve three misunderstandings: the party's management of talents restricts the development of talents; The party's management of talents is simply equivalent to the organization department's grasping of talents; the party committee's work of grasping talents is opposed to the government's grasping talents. We must always adhere to the correct political direction, strengthen the party's unified leadership over talent work, and implement the principle of the party's management of talents throughout the entire process and all links of reform. In addition, in the leadership system of the party's management of talents, there are still "three major problems" that need to be solved urgently: First, the positioning of the organization department and the human resources and social department. The organization department is mainly strategic management, and the human society department is mainly executive management; second, the division of functions between the organization department and each business department. In the "three decisions" plan, the functions of business departments should be clearly defined and coordination should be strengthened. Third, the relationship between the talent work department of the organization department and other departments of the organization department. The organization department itself should, under the leadership of the party committee, appropriately strengthen the strength of the talent work department, and work hard to be a good staff, innovate practice, integrate resources, and demonstrate and lead.

The third is to build a system of laws and regulations for talents with Chinese characteristics. According to our survey, the current talent legislation is a prominent problem in the party's management of talents. 36.6 percent of the people think that talent legislation is seriously lagging behind. Therefore, it is imperative to build a system of laws and regulations for talents with Chinese characteristics. From a global perspective, one of the important reasons why some economically developed countries have become global talent gathering places is that these countries have a complete system of talent laws and regulations. Talent legislation can be started from three aspects: first, we should comprehensively sort out the talent policies and regulations formulated in the past, timely clean up some outdated documents and regulations, and be in line with international rules in the formulation of talent policies; second, we should comprehensively plan and build a talent law and regulation system around the goal of better implementing the strategy of strengthening the country with talents, Form a sub-system and multi-level legal and regulatory framework, to maintain the openness, authority and continuity of the various policies and systems of talent work; third, we must earnestly take the construction of the talent legal environment as an important part of the "better implementation of the strategy of strengthening the country with talents.

Fourth, we should pay close attention to the establishment of an assessment mechanism for the first resources. At present, because the assessment mechanism of the party's management of talents has not been well established, to a considerable extent, the work of talents is still only verbal or documented, and has not been well implemented. To adhere to the principle of the party's management of talents, it is imperative to establish an assessment mechanism for the first leader to grasp the first resource, and implement it from the system level. At present, breakthroughs can be made in two aspects: on the one hand, reform the content of the performance evaluation of party and government organs, and take talent work as an important indicator for assessing the performance of top leaders. On the other hand, the establishment of accountability system, resulting in a large number of brain drain should be investigated for leadership responsibility. If a certain department or region engages in cronyism, wastes talents, buries talents, and causes a large number of brain drain and other serious mistakes, the leaders shall be held accountable.

Fifth, the principle of the Party's management of talents should adapt to the new trend of opening up. In recent years, General Secretary Xi Jinping has always emphasized that "the gathering and use of talents in today's world should include talents from both international and domestic aspects, that is, selecting talents from all over the world". This is worthy of our deep consideration. The party's management of talents should not only be based on China's national conditions and reality, but also have a broader international vision. The talent strategy is facing outward orientation, which is the performance of our party's world vision in talent. This is the need to establish the country's comparative advantage in talent competition and build a world talent power. It is also the need to learn and apply advanced world knowledge and technology, and then continuously raise the entire opening up to a new level.
