"It is necessary to strengthen the education, management, and supervision of young cadres, and educate and guide young cadres to become loyal and reliable cadres of the party and the people." General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed at the sixth plenary session of the 19th Central Discipline Inspection Commission. In this regard, the sixth plenary session made arrangements and proposed "strict education, management, and supervision of young cadres."
Young cadres are the successors of the cause of the party and the state and shoulder important historical responsibilities and responsibilities of the times. General Secretary Xi Jinping encouraged young cadres at the opening ceremony of the training class for young and middle-aged cadres at the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) in the autumn semester of 2021 to practice their internal skills, improve their self-cultivation, enhance their skills, do not deviate, do not fall behind, and strive to become a talent that can be of great use and can shoulder heavy responsibilities. How to buckle the first button of young cadres' honesty in government affairs urgently needs to be answered.
The youth era is the most positive and sunny and enterprising period, but individual young cadres cannot sustain themselves in the face of temptation and embark on the crooked road of using power for personal gain and satisfying selfish desires
Born in the great era, young cadres are the new force in the development of the cause of the party and the state. In recent years, a large number of young cadres have grown up rapidly through tempering and training, ensuring that there will be successors to the party's cause. However, a very small number of cadres embarked on a crooked road when their life and career were just beginning, which not only caused losses to the party and the country, but also ruined their own lives, which made people sigh.
Tian Qihao, a former staff member of the real estate trading window of the Yuhang Branch Center of the Yuhang District Civic Center in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, is a "95" post-personnel. Between January and December 2019, he used his position to facilitate the embezzlement of state property, while he had been working for just 11 months.
Li Xiaofei, a cadre of the financial unit of the Water Affairs Bureau of Nangong City, Hebei Province, embezzled and embezzled huge amounts of public funds in 8 months; Wang Xue, a former cashier at a retired cadre recuperation center in Dongcheng District, Beijing, embezzled and defrauded more than 7.2 million yuan of public funds in just over a year. These young cadres, who had a bright future, lost their way in the whirlpool of money and embezzled and embezzled public funds by means of fictitious expenditures and private deposits of public funds.
Judging from the amount of discipline and law violations, the corrupt behavior of young cadres shows the characteristics of being highly professional and closely related to information technology.
Young cadres who grew up in the information age are generally familiar with computer and Internet technology, and some young cadres take advantage of this advantage to find loopholes in the operation and management of information systems and seek private interests from them. With the advent and development of mobile payment methods, corruption has become more convenient and more hidden.
In addition to the corrupt ways, the flow of stolen money is equally thought-provoking.
A room of less than 10 square meters is full of all kinds of luxuries... The public funds embezzled by Wang Xue were used for personal luxury consumption.
In work, life and online games, Wang Xue has made a large number of friends who have "shot generously" and developed a deformed concept of consumption. Within a month of working, she began to find ways to embezzle and defraud public property to satisfy her desire to consume. After buying something, she will take photos and post them on social media, and everyone's "pursuit" makes her vanity greatly satisfied.
Loving vanity, keen on showing off wealth and comparison, coveting pleasure, and pursuing low-level fun, some young cadres lack the proper sense of self-discipline and self-control ability, and eventually fall into the abyss of illegal crimes because of their bad habits.
Many young cadres have fallen on the "gambling" hurdle. Xu Yong, a staff member of the Finance Office of Qintong Town, Jiangyan District, Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province, born in 1992, was addicted to online gambling and could not extricate himself, and in just three months, he frantically embezzled huge amounts of public funds to gamble.
According to data from the Discipline Inspection Commission of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province, since the 19th Party Congress, the prefecture has transferred a total of 19 young cadres to the judiciary, of which 9 people, or 47.4%, have become corrupt due to gambling problems, and 6 cases involving 6 people have been involved in online gambling.
The occurrence of corruption cases of young cadres has profoundly explained the complexity and harmfulness of the problem of corruption. "As more and more 'post-80s', 'post-90s', and 'post-95s' take up their posts, especially after assuming leadership positions, how to 'move the threshold forward' of supervision over young cadres has become an important issue that needs to be solved urgently." Song Wei, director of the Integrity Research Center of the University of Science and Technology Beijing, said.
Spiritual emptiness, depression of will, and serious misalignment of world outlook, outlook on life, and values are the fundamental reasons for some young cadres' refusal to corrupt and anti-degeneration of the
In real life, some party members and cadres are mentally empty, depressed, and have a material service, believing in the supremacy of money, fame and fortune, and pleasure, and a small number of people even use the power entrusted by the party and the people as a means to seek private interests and fall into the abyss of corruption.
Born in 1988, Lang Xiaolu, a former staff member of the Development and Reform Bureau of Fuyang District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, was sentenced to 1 year in prison with a suspended sentence of 1 year and 6 months for accepting bribes. He said: "Since college, I have been a senior fan of football and basketball, and at the beginning of my exposure to online gambling was just to increase the fun of watching the game, but then I thought I had found a way to make money, and I fell deeper and deeper, and I owed a million yuan debt..." From the beginning of betting 50 yuan, 100 yuan "Tu Yile", to betting 500 yuan, 1000 yuan, and then losing two or three hundred thousand yuan in the last morning, he became a naked gambler.
Most of the young cadres are from home to school, school to organ, in the initial stage of career and life, social experience and practical experience are relatively insufficient, in the face of all kinds of temptations and interference, values are easily affected, and even distorted and deteriorated. Some units are "not upright," and young cadres "follow the trend and follow the currents" and embark on a crooked road; some covet pleasures, blindly compare themselves, and regard money as the pursuit of life; some cannot correctly deal with the pressure of life, such as housing loans and child-rearing, and use their powers to seek private interests; some vainly try to take shortcuts in their career promotions, and once they take up leading posts, they can't wait to "realize" their powers.
Zhu Zuorong, the party secretary of Xionghe Town, Jiangling County, Hubei Province, who was "double-opened" in 2021, wrote in his confessional: In the past, they all smoked 4 yuan and 5 cents a pack of cigarettes, and after becoming the mayor and secretary of the town, non-brand-name cigarettes were not smoked; before buying clothes, they never entered the store, and later they were not worn in brand-name clothes. The swelling greed made him lose in the face of temptation.
If young cadres do not have the right views from the beginning, after entering the ranks of civil servants, they are prone to selfish and distracted thoughts, lack the public will to serve the party and the country and the people, and regard power as a bargaining chip for seeking private interests, thus embarking on the road of violating discipline and the law and even committing crimes.
Wang Wanli, who served as an assistant judge at the Jizhou District People's Court in Tianjin, was investigated and punished for embezzlement and embezzlement of public funds. He confessed that when he graduated and looked for a job, the first thing he ranked first was to be a civil servant, but in his heart, civil servants were not at all a profession that served the people, but a manifestation of social status, and the more direct idea was to obtain various social resources through power, and to "realize" their powers and use them for their own use.
The formation of firm ideals and convictions is neither achieved overnight nor once and for all, and it requires constant efforts and tests in practice. Compared with cadres who have experienced decades of party spirit training, young cadres have a short time to undergo political experience and organizational tests, lack party spirit training, and are prone to only pay attention to the study of professional knowledge after work, ignore the cultivation of political quality, and fail to achieve synchronous improvement.
"There are many reasons for the corruption of these young cadres, but the fundamental reason is that they have not established firm ideals and convictions, relaxed self-restraint in the initial stage of career development, and lost themselves in the process of just grasping power." In Song Wei's view, young cadres and public officials like Lang Xiaolu and Wang Wanli have bred such undesirable concepts as rushing for quick success and short-term profits and coveting pleasures, and their outlook on life, values, and interests are seriously misplaced, so that they have no resistance in the face of temptation.
Some localities and units have lax and soft supervision over the education and management of young cadres, and the implementation of the main responsibility is not in place, objectively leaving room for young cadres to take risks
At present, some localities and units only pay attention to the talents and abilities of young cadres, and only pay attention to their use, lack regular reminders and education, and do not pay enough attention to the problem of corruption among young cadres and lack vigilance. After young cadres enter government organs, they are often placed in departments and posts where power is concentrated and funds are concentrated, such as taxation, social security, and finance. Heavy use, light supervision, there are loopholes in education management, or there are many problems in itself, so that the yaw of young cadres cannot be corrected in time, laying hidden dangers for the healthy growth of young cadres.
Zhang Yujie is a staff member of the Real Estate Registration Center in Chuzhou City, Anhui Province, and in the more than three years from 2016 to 2019, he has embezzled more than 69 million yuan of public funds by not recording the receipts and forging the facts of the collections. Unfortunately, Chuzhou City, from the municipal real estate transaction department to the municipal real estate registration center and the transaction management section, has been derelict in its duties.
"The problem of dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty by the relevant personnel exposed by the case is shocking. If someone had pulled him along, or someone had found out and woke him up, it wouldn't have exacerbated the problem, but unfortunately none of this has happened. Fang Yangqing, a staff member of the Chuzhou Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission, said.
Some departments have imperfect internal control mechanisms, irregular work procedures, and greater discretion. A number of cases have reflected that some units have entrusted official seals to young cadres for safekeeping and allowed them to abuse them without anyone paying attention; in some units, the accountants and cashiers of some units are concurrently held by young cadres, and the leadership examination and approval is useless; and some units hang the system on the wall and write it on paper, which cannot play a regulatory role at all.
In Zhang Yujie's case, according to the relevant system introduced by Chuzhou City in 2011, the fund custody window must be set up separately, one person receives the document, one person reviews, one person handles the voucher, and supervises each other, but the real estate registration center has never been implemented according to the system, from the main leader to the section chief, and no one even knows that there is this system. Receiving, reviewing, and handling vouchers are all one-stop operations by Zhang Yujie, giving him the opportunity to take advantage of it.
Zhang Yujie's embezzlement method is actually extremely simple. However, whether it is a department accountant or a personnel with management responsibilities at all levels, they are all risk-free, paralyzed, and even the basic reconciliation has not been done seriously.
"To train young cadres, it is necessary to organize education, management, and supervision, that is, to help young cadres put the 'steering wheel' of good growth and tie a good 'seat belt' of honesty, so that young cadres will not deviate from the norms and not exceed the rules, and truly undertake the mission entrusted by history and the times." Zhuang Deshui, deputy director of the Research Center for Building a Clean and Honest Government at Peking University, said.
Promote the "three noes" as a whole, and comprehensively implement policies to urge young cadres to be clean and responsible, and to act steadily and far
Young cadres' wavering ideals and convictions and embarking on the road of violating discipline and law not only ruin their personal future, but also affect the continuous development of the cause of the party and the state and pass on the torch from generation to generation. We must attach great importance to the problems existing among young cadres, treat both the symptoms and the root causes, combine strict management with generous love, earnestly strengthen education, management, and supervision, and prevent and curb the occurrence of violations of discipline and law to the greatest extent possible.
The value orientation of youth is like the button of wearing clothes, if the first button is wrong, the remaining buttons will be wrong. Party organizations at all levels should carry out in-depth education on ideals and convictions in close connection with their ideological reality, guide them to establish a correct world outlook, outlook on life, and values, have great ambitions, be wise and virtuous, abide by public morality, and be strict with private morality, act innocently, do things cleanly, and buckle the first button.
In addition to strengthening education on the ideals and convictions of young cadres and on party discipline and laws and regulations, it is also necessary to strengthen daily supervision over young cadres, reduce the possibility of young cadres making mistakes, and enhance the awareness of young cadres to be honest and self-disciplined. This requires party organizations at all levels to earnestly implement the main responsibility, adhere to the combination of strict management and love, on the one hand, care for the growth of young cadres, give more opportunities, build more platforms, and put more pressure on them; on the other hand, they should conduct strict education, strict management, and strict supervision.
Sichuan Province recently issued the "Circular on Strengthening Supervision of the Problem of "Network-related" Corruption among Young Cadres," which requires that party committees (party groups) in all localities and departments should focus on the main causes, channels, performances, and frequent posts, industries, and regions of young cadres' "network-related" corruption problems, increase the intensity of supervision and investigation, build a comprehensive supervision system, and continuously enhance the timeliness and accuracy of supervision of young cadres, so as to eliminate hidden risks and hidden dangers in the bud.
Discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels should strengthen special supervision, move forward the supervision threshold, broaden the channels of supervision, and persist in cracking down on young cadres who violate discipline and the law, never tolerate them, and continue to strengthen the deterrence of "not daring to be corrupt."
Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the discipline inspection and supervision team of COSCO SHIPPING Group has filed a total of 56 cases to investigate and punish young cadres, of which 14 were given "double opening" treatment, and many people were given demotion, dismissal and other treatments.
While maintaining a high-pressure situation, it is also necessary to do the "second half of the article". Deeply analyze the deep-seated reasons behind typical cases of young cadres violating discipline and law, find problems in institutional mechanisms and loopholes in the system, weave a tight cage for the operation of power, compress the space for discretion, and let young cadres strictly follow the rules and use public power.
In view of the typical cases of embezzlement and embezzlement of public funds by Wang Hongmei, a "post-90s" cadre in the city's Weaving Gold Economic Development Zone, the Discipline Inspection Commission of Bijie City, Guizhou Province, organized and carried out the "one case and one rectification" activity, urged the Party Working Committee of the Economic Development Zone to preside over many special meetings, checked for deficiencies and filled in the gaps, formulated and issued 7 supervision and management systems such as the "Interim Measures for Financial Disclosure", and the Finance Bureau of the Economic Development Zone refined and implemented 17 systems such as the "Internal Control Management System" and focused on tightening the cage of the system.
As an important part of treating both the symptoms and the root causes, discipline inspection and supervision organs have carried out warning education in connection with typical cases, interpreting discipline by cases, explaining cases, and reasoning by cases, and promoting young cadres to form reverence for discipline and law.
The Discipline Inspection Commission of Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province, organized the filming of the special film "Buckle the First Button of Life", through selecting 4 typical cases of violations of discipline and law by young cadres investigated and handled in recent years, in the form of people appearing in the film, analyzing the case-handling personnel, and interpreting the law with cases, etc., to deeply reveal the transformation characteristics and degenerate trajectory of violations of discipline and law, and use the things around the people around them to "beat" young cadres, so as to take the case as a lesson and always be vigilant.
