The plenary session stressed that the courage to carry out self-revolution is a conspicuous sign that distinguishes our party from other political parties, and it is the secret of the party's success in jumping out of the historical cycle rate of chaos and rising and falling, and becoming more vigorous after a hundred years of vicissitudes.

First, deeply study and implement the spirit of the Sixth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, focus on the "great power of the country" to promote the concretization and normalization of political supervision. With the greeting and opening of the 20th National Congress of the Party as the main line, in-depth study and implementation of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, deepen the use of the Party's historical experience in self-revolution, and consolidate and expand the achievements of Party history study and education.

Keep a close eye on the "key minority" and strengthen supervision over the implementation of the responsibility of the "number one" and the leading body in comprehensively and strictly administering the party, implementing the system of democratic centralism, and performing their duties and using power in accordance with laws and regulations. Strictly enforce the discipline atmosphere of the change of office, strictly control the political and honest customs, and investigate and deal with such acts as canvassing for votes and bribing voters, greeting people with affection, and sabotaging elections.

Second, we should maintain the strong force of opposing and punishing corruption and unswervingly push the anti-corruption struggle to the depth. We should take the initiative to deal with the new situation and new challenges in the anti-corruption struggle, resolutely guard against and investigate the "seven haves" problem, show no mercy to those who engage in political gangs, small circles, and interest groups within the party, and strictly educate, manage, and supervise young cadres.

Third, continue to strengthen the levees stipulated by the eight central regulations, and unremittingly rectify the corruption and unhealthy trends around the masses. We should pay close attention to the emerging, tendentious, and hidden problems of the "four winds," resolutely rectify and rectify formalism and bureaucracy that affect the implementation of the party Central Committee's decision-making and deployment, disregard the infringement of the interests of the masses, and increase the burden on the grass-roots units, thoroughly rectify the hedonism and extravagance that damage the party's image and arouse strong resentment among the masses, investigate and deal with the problems of disorderly behavior that does not respect the law, does not respect objective reality, and the needs of the masses, and the problems of inaction that prevaricate, neglect one's duties, and does not think of making progress. Strengthen supervision and inspection of the promotion of key rural revitalization projects, and promote the normalization of "breaking the umbrella and breaking the net".

Fourth, improve the pattern of linkage between the upper and lower levels of inspection and inspection, and achieve high-quality full coverage goals and tasks. Focus on the fundamental task of "two safeguards", closely follow the performance of the party's leadership functions and responsibilities, and focus on inspecting the implementation of the "14th Five-Year Plan", the implementation of the new development concept, and the implementation of the discipline of the change of term.

Comprehensively summarize the inspection work of the 19th Session and report to the Party Central Committee.

Fifth, promote the system integration, coordination and efficiency of the reform of the discipline inspection and supervision system, and promote the transformation of institutional advantages into governance efficiency. In accordance with the requirements of the party's unified leadership, comprehensive coverage, authority and high efficiency, persist in taking supervision within the party as the leading role, do a solid job of special supervision, and penetrate all kinds of supervision. Focusing on key links such as supervision, inspection, examination and investigation, we should further strengthen the leadership of the discipline inspection commissions at higher levels over the discipline inspection commissions at lower levels and the dispatched organs over the institutions stationed there, strengthen the supervision and guidance of the performance of the discipline inspection committees of the discipline inspection commissions stationed in the departments, comprehensively strengthen the discipline inspection and supervision work of the enterprises under central management and the colleges and universities under central management, and constantly improve the system of discipline inspection and supervision laws and regulations.

Sixth, implement the requirements of being politically competent and highly skilled, and strive to be loyal defenders of the party and the people. Strengthen the building of the Standing Committee of the Central Discipline Inspection Commission itself, and do a deep and solid job in the political construction of the party. Thoroughly implement the "Regulations on the Work of the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Communist Party of China", and implement training for all employees at different levels and in different categories. Improve the internal control mechanism for supervising the operation of discipline enforcement powers, resolutely investigate and deal with violations of discipline, law enforcement, and dereliction of duty, earnestly solve the problem of "black under the lights", and consciously be a benchmark for abiding by discipline and law.
