General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Investigation and research is the basis for planning things and the way to achieve things. Without investigation, there is no voice, much less decision-making. The reform of state-owned enterprises has entered a deep-water area and a period of tackling tough problems, and the Nineteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China has further pointed out new ideas, new arguments, and new requirements for the reform and development of state-owned enterprises, and has written the "four forms" of supervision and discipline enforcement into the party constitution, and comprehensively and strictly administering the party has become the new normal. Supervision and discipline enforcement in the operation and management activities of state-owned enterprises is an important weapon for always maintaining their own advanced nature, and implementing supervision within the party well is the focus of improving the work of leading cadres at present and in the future; it is necessary to thoroughly explore effective ways, methods, and countermeasures for strengthening supervision within the party, grasp the basic laws of supervision, and conduct comprehensive thinking from the aspects of the effectiveness, mechanism, and system of supervision.
The "four forms" of supervision and discipline enforcement are the real propositions that are often learned and often new. Adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, effectively enhance the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four self-confidences", and resolutely achieve the "two safeguards". Give play to the main responsibility of the party committee, create a clean and healthy political ecology, fulfill the discipline inspection commission's responsibility for supervision and discipline enforcement, and rectify the good situation of the construction and entrepreneurship of the original source, focus on the main responsibility of the owner, constantly innovate the thinking of discipline inspection and supervision work, explore ways and methods of supervision and discipline enforcement, standardize work processes, integrate the supervision and discipline enforcement forces, and ensure the implementation of the "two responsibilities" for the construction of party style and clean government. Discipline inspection and supervision cadres are required to present "iron ideals and beliefs, iron responsibilities, iron skills, and iron discipline." "Always adhere to" erudition, interrogation, careful thinking, discernment, and perseverance. "Constantly refining the real strength of real grasping, the fierce strength of daring to grasp, the ingenuity of good grasping, and the tenacity of often grasping."
Sort out the "exit"
Discipline is the ruler, and the "four forms" are the scales. Clarifying the "four forms" of supervision and discipline enforcement is not to exalt and take corrupt elements lightly, but to prevent "good comrades" from becoming "prisoners of the lower ranks." The purpose of the "four forms" of supervision and discipline enforcement is to punish the former and the latter, cure the sick and save people, and change the situation of either "good comrades" or "prisoners under the ranks".
Standardize exit IDs. The scientific use of the "four forms" of scale management, good and not leaky, not biased, not indulgent, so as to achieve clear problems, accurate scale, and realistic. The use of the "four forms" is not to change the outcome of corrupt elements, but to prevent the trajectory of the degeneration of party members and cadres; through the daily education, management, and supervision of party members by party organizations, set up anti-slip valves for morality and discipline before the bottom line of the law, prevent small shortcomings from turning into big mistakes, prevent them from falling from violating discipline into breaking the law, give full play to the leadership core role of party organizations, implement the main responsibility of the party to manage the party and strictly administer the party, strictly enforce party discipline, and stand up, and embody the strict requirements and care of party organizations for party members and cadres. The "four forms" are interlinked, scientifically rigorous, layered, and the handling measures are clear and clear, which is a full coverage of all party members and cadres, and "zero tolerance" for violations of discipline and law. The "four forms" of supervision and discipline enforcement are ideological knobs that dare not be corrupted, cannot be corrupted, and do not want to be corrupt. Clarifying the "exit" can make the parties concerned satisfied and convinced, and at the same time convince the audience; clarifying the "exit" is to strengthen the daily education, supervision, and management of party members and cadres throughout the entire process of party style and clean government education.
Think carefully about export responsibilities. Organizations at all levels have made good use of the "four forms" to properly implement the "three distinctions" of supervision and discipline enforcement, and have played a health care role by regularly carrying out criticism and self-criticism, biting their ears and pulling their sleeves, and sweating with red faces, so as to normalize relations within the party; through light punishment of party discipline and organizational handling, punish those who have committed crimes before and after the fact, and treat the sick and save people; through the heavy punishment of a small number of serious violations of discipline, they have made major job adjustments, alerted and educated the contingent of party members and cadres; and severely cracked down on corrupt elements and formed a deterrent through the filing and examination of a very small number of serious violations of discipline and suspected violations of the law, and the punishment of the cases filed and punished. Sort out the "exports" so as to change the concept of supervision and discipline enforcement, pay attention to daily supervision, pay attention to prevention in advance, truly use discipline to control the majority, use the law to punish the very small minority, and educate and guide the broad masses of party members and cadres to be truly cautious about "power," "words," "beginnings," and "independence." At present, there are still a small number of leading cadres who do not have a high political position, have not put supervision within the party in their proper position, and individual leading cadres do not have enough education and management of themselves. The failure to correctly handle the relationship between economic development and party building in enterprise operation and management activities has led to the occurrence of unhealthy tendencies and corrupt phenomena, which is reflected in the lack of stress on healthy tendencies in work and the prevalence of "good man doctrine", because they are "acquaintances", "people around them", and "familiar affairs", and they have abandoned the principles of party spirit and work. In a certain period of time, the renewal of systems and regulations is not timely, forming a gap in time and space, resulting in problems such as unmatched, unsystematic, unscientific, and lack of operability, which is not suitable for putting power into the "cage" of the system. Some are too abstract and general, lack specific implementation rules, and it is more difficult to implement; some are qualitative and non-quantitative, and the flexibility in implementation is too large; some procedural regulations are too arbitrary in implementation.
Put a good "pass"
For some time now, the legal representative or general manager of state-owned enterprises has been responsible for the system, the manager is the full leader and manager of the enterprise, the party organization lacks the role of power radiation, emphasizes top-down supervision, ignores the supervision of balanced constraints and bottom-up supervision, and has created many "empty window" areas in the supervision links. For example, the supervision of party committees over administration at the same level, the supervision among members of leading bodies, the supervision of party committees by discipline inspection commissions over party committees at the same level, the supervision of party organizations by party members within the party, and the supervision of higher-level organizations by party organizations are often unbalanced.
Check the checkpoints and make sense. We should do a good job of "passing the pass," put discipline before the law, control discipline to avoid small mistakes brewing big disasters, strengthen the training and testing of cadres' knowledge of honest administration laws and regulations before they take office, establish a list of responsibilities for honest and honest entities, establish a good political ecology and a clean and honest working environment, and guide cadres to be people who understand politics. The first is to further standardize the code of conduct, moral character, and party spirit of party spirit and the concept of honesty and honesty among party members and cadres, carry forward the work style and healthy atmosphere, advocate the new trend of using power honestly and honestly, cultivating oneself honestly, and being honest with one's family, know reverence and reverence, know where to come from, get to the root of the matter, and curb the greed and bad motives of leading cadres with an iron fist. The second is to do a good job in "filing, managing, and applying" cadres' honest archives, identify their authenticity, manage cadres' credit well, always put discipline in the forefront, focus on key areas of defense, especially the "triple major" matters, use systems and detailed rules to lock power in "cages, and ensure openness and transparency, collective decision-making, standardization and rationality, and resistance to corruption and degeneration." In view of the reminder checks of important nodes, at the festival nodes where violations of laws and discipline occur frequently on New Year's Day, Spring Festival, Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day, etc., warn of a clean and honest festival, and investigate the psychology of people's feelings and the thinking of going along the water during the New Year's Festival.
Linkage supervision and management. The discounting of the effectiveness of supervision and implementation is mainly reflected in the following: Supervision by superiors and subordinates is the focus of work, but the distance is long, the flexibility is large, the timeliness and pertinence are not enough, supervision and management do not seek merit but no fault, the supervision function tends to weaken, no major problems occur, and the superiors often "go through the motions" and engage in "formalism" to the subordinates. In the supervision within the party between the same level, due to the overall arrangement of personnel appointment and dismissal, personnel establishment, funding, and even a series of problems, this kind of organizational adhesion relationship is prone to "black under the lights," and it is not possible to look up and look down, and the supervision between the same level, especially the effective supervision of the "number one", interferes too much, restricts too much, and affects the effectiveness of supervision. It is necessary to persist in promoting the construction of the "three noes" mechanism as a whole. Profoundly comprehend the important thinking of "clearly defining the strategic principle of administering the party in an all-round and strict manner"; profoundly comprehend the valuable historical experience of "persisting in self-revolution"; profoundly comprehend the basic positioning of "serving the overall situation of the work of the party and the state"; profoundly understand the goal orientation of "striving to achieve more institutional results and greater results in governance"; and profoundly understand the basic guarantee of "strengthening the standardization, rule of law, and regularization of discipline inspection and supervision organs". Give play to the main responsibility of the party committee, create a clean and healthy political ecology, fulfill the responsibility of the discipline inspection commission for supervision and discipline enforcement, focus on the main responsibility of the original source, constantly innovate the thinking of discipline inspection and supervision work, and innovate the methods and methods of supervision and discipline enforcement. It is necessary to more accurately focus on supervising the problems around the masses. The risk misunderstanding that discipline inspection and supervision work is most likely to fall into is that it has neither approached the masses nor entered the target of supervision; and that a good "pass" should accurately supervise the illegal issuance of subsidies or benefits, the illegal eating, drinking, or acceptance of banquets, the organization of public-funded tours, the private use of public buses, and so on; focusing on supervising the "circle culture" and "eight hours away," giving preferential treatment to relatives and friends in the selection and appointment of cadres, fixed posts, performance appraisals, bonus distribution, and income distribution; and effectively supervising the private lending and private use of public funds, and the embezzlement of collective capital assets or public property. Illegal expenditure or establishment of a "small treasury"; accurate supervision and use of authority to deal with affairs in the process of taking cards, in the bidding of engineering projects, bulk material procurement, etc., favoritism, bribery, etc.; focus on the supervisory officer's thinking, organ style, weak sense of responsibility, careless work, do not take responsibility, do not act, and violate the prescribed procedures. By rectifying the corruption and work style problems that exist around the masses, we should give full play to the spirit of ownership, collective wisdom and creativity of the broad masses, and condense the positive energy of enterprises to comprehensively deepen reform.
Polish the Window
Fairness and uprightness are the most core essence of discipline inspection and supervision work; discipline inspection and supervision organs are the places where justice is administered; discipline inspection and supervision cadres are the guardians of fairness and justice; if discipline inspection and supervision work fails to achieve fairness and justice, it will lose its foothold. Discipline inspection and supervision cadres should firmly establish the concept that "strengthening supervision is one's own duty, neglecting supervision is dereliction of duty, and being bad at supervision is incompetent," actively explore effective methods for routine supervision, set assessment targets in terms of work concepts, work ideas, work means, and work results, refine the content of assessments, and continuously improve the fairness and authority of routine supervision.
Hang the previous gear. At present, some unhealthy work styles still exist within a certain range like cutting leeks, cutting one stubble after another, and the crux of the problem lies in the insufficient estimation of the stubbornness and repetitiveness of the work style problem, the lack of tenacity and patience to grasp the work in supervision and discipline, and the lack of a system that manages the long term and is fundamental. Scientifically apply the methods and methods of supervising and enforcing discipline, hang up the first file, move from investigation and handling to investigation and handling, from investigation and handling to supervision, and from supervision to guidance, firmly establish the concept of honor and disgrace of being diligent and honest, and strengthen the building of systems so that the "heavy tumors" of mediocrity, laziness, scattering, floating, dragging, and fake will lose their soil, channels, and markets, thus demonstrating the deterrent power of discipline. The first is to grasp the task of strong assessment. Combined with the central work and core tasks of the main responsibility, the decomposition and implementation of the compaction target tasks and the performance of "one post and two responsibilities" are tightened, focusing on standardizing the operation of the "first-in-command" power, focusing on the "triple major" and integrity risk prevention and control, etc., effectively ensuring that the target tasks are promoted according to the node, and the rewards and punishments are clear to promote the implementation of the tasks. The second is to grasp democracy and strong innovation. Grasp the public sunshine to resist corruption, use the system to standardize the operation of power; grasp the special supervision and use data to disprove the plan; grasp the risk prevention and control with safety guarantee production; grasp the special governance, clear the warehouse to the bottom, break the umbrella and break the net, and cure the symptoms and cure the root causes; grasp the "prevention" and "heavy help" to exchange the public's happiness, sense of belonging, and sense of gain with sincerity and warmth. The third is to grasp supervision and strengthen implementation. Coordinate and manage feedback problems such as inspection and inspection, special audits, clearing and settlement of foreign exchange, compliance trials, and problem clues, and rectify and implement them, and achieve anti-micro-gradual results. The fourth is to grasp the strong performance of duties by the contingent. Always adhere to the principle of the party managing cadres, optimize the cadre structure, broaden the vision of selecting and employing people, and strengthen leadership under the above laws. At the same time, taking the building of the contingent of discipline inspection and supervision cadres as an opportunity, we should strengthen the exchange of cadres on rotation and inside and outside the system, so that cadres can experience in different posts, increase their ability and enrich their experience, enhance the party spirit, political accomplishment, and ability to supervise and enforce discipline of discipline inspection and supervision cadres, and give play to the effect of "supervision."
A reed to sail. "Whatever the heart desires, the past is as good as the past, born like a reverse brigade, and a reed sails." The CPC Central Committee issued the "Opinions on Strengthening the Party's Leadership in Improving Corporate Governance in Central Enterprises," emphasizing the transformation of institutional advantages into governance efficiency, and clarifying the direction for discipline inspection and supervision departments to focus on meticulous and solid daily work, supervise and enforce discipline and accountability, and protect the "roots" and "souls." First, it is necessary to further study and comprehend the profound connotation of the "two responsibilities." Discipline inspection and supervision cadres must not be willing to be "peacemakers" and happy to be "good old men."; they must resolutely abandon "good man doctrine," dare to speak out and shine their swords, dare to practice the spirit of struggle, and be good at fighting against erroneous words and deeds. Exercise the right to inspect, investigate, and suggest daily supervision, and ensure that supervision is online, full, strictly managed, and loving. The second is to establish and improve the inspection and assessment mechanism and the responsibility investigation mechanism, take the audit internal control and risk prevention and control system as the starting point, and focus on investigation, supervision, interview, special inspection, etc., and urge party members and cadres to perform their duties in accordance with laws and regulations. Through the daily education, management, and supervision of party members by party organizations, anti-slip valves for morality and discipline are set up before the bottom line of the law, so as to prevent small shortcomings from turning into big mistakes, prevent falling from violating discipline to breaking the law, and strictly enforce party discipline and stand up, reflecting the strict management and love of party organizations for party members and cadres. Third, after the reform of the discipline inspection and supervision system, supervision, discipline enforcement, accountability, and law enforcement should be unified and consistent. Although it is small, it is impossible not to do it. Do not be ashamed of others, and do not be ashamed of your heart. To this end, improving the handling of problem clues and case handling capabilities is the top priority of polishing the "window".
