Why did the Eight Provisions profoundly change China?

author:International Online

When the eight central regulations were first promulgated, some people were worried that it would be a "gust of wind".

Eleven years have passed. Today, the eight regulations of the Central Committee still have a strong deterrent effect, and have become an important means for the Communist Party of China to comprehensively and strictly govern the party and a "golden business card" for the construction of the party's work style.

"The Eight Provisions Change China!" This has become the voice of the broad masses of the people.

The opening is broken

"The eight regulations have been implemented, and the party building is full of life. ”

After the convening of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the baton of history was handed over to the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core.

At the time, China had just become the world's second-largest economy, and at the same time, the party was facing challenges from within.

General Secretary Xi Jinping has a clear understanding and judgment on this. He once said solemnly at a meeting: "If the party is not effectively managed, the party is not strictly administered, and the outstanding problems within the party that are strongly resented by the masses of the people are not resolved, then sooner or later our party will lose its qualification to govern and will inevitably be eliminated by history." This is by no means alarmist. ”

On December 4, 2012, less than 20 days after taking office as general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, Xi Jinping presided over a meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, which deliberated and adopted the "Eight Regulations of the Political Bureau of the 18th CPC Central Committee on Improving Work Style and Maintaining Close Ties with the Masses."

Improving investigation and study, streamlining meeting activities, streamlining documents and briefings, standardizing overseas visits, improving security work, improving news reporting, strictly publishing manuscripts, and practicing diligence and thrift -- these seemingly subtle "little things" have become the entry point for the building of a big party's work style.

Take action as a command, and teach by example. To improve the style of work, we should start with the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and the General Secretary.

In the memory of Jia Chunhong, the manager of the catering department of a budget hotel in Fuping County, Hebei Province, there is a menu that she will never forget.

On the menu, the "hot dishes" column reads: braised local chicken nuggets, Fuping stewed vegetables, fried garlic sprouts with pork belly, garlic chrysanthemum, and winter melon ball soup. The payment date is December 29, 2012.

On that day, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Fuping for inspection and dined at the economy hotel where Jia Chunhong worked in the evening.

At that time, the staff also specially explained not to serve alcohol, and these four dishes and one soup were also local home-cooked dishes, ten people at a table, and they ate very cleanly. Jia Chunhong said.

On November 10, 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected the construction site of housing reconstruction in Wanquanzhuang Village, Diaowo Town, Zhuozhou City, Baoding, Hebei Province.

Teach by example.

Over the past 11 years, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has conscientiously implemented the eight central regulations and their implementation rules, without discounting or making changes, setting a benchmark and setting a good example for the whole party with practical actions, and leading the construction of work style in the new era to form a vivid situation of transmission at all levels, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and extensive participation.

Some experts pointed out that through the eight regulations of the Central Committee, the Communist Party of China has declared to Chinese society that we have truly embodied the original aspiration of the Communist Party of China in the practice of governing the country.

Consistent

"The eight central regulations are not five-year or ten-year regulations, but long-term iron rules and rigid rules. ”

"Moving in earnest" is the impression that many people have of the eight central regulations.

In 2013, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) for the first time released a statistical table of mental problems in the national investigation and punishment of violations of the eight central regulations. Since then, it has become the norm to publish investigation data on a monthly basis.

On January 8, 2020, the staff of the Beilun District Commission for Discipline Inspection of Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, inspected the 2019 public fund consumption bills of the Beilun District Big Data Development Management Center to find out whether there were any violations.

According to the data, since the implementation of the eight central regulations, as of October 2022, a total of 769,000 cases of mental problems violating the eight central regulations have been investigated and dealt with across the country, and 1.097 million people have been criticized, educated, helped and dealt with. In the first half of 2023, a total of 43,193 cases of mental problems violating the eight central regulations were investigated and dealt with across the country, and 62,054 people were criticized, educated, helped, and dealt with. Powerful warnings and deterrence have effectively curbed the problem of work style that the masses of the people deeply hate.

To grasp the construction of work style, the emphasis is on the words "long" and "constant".

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, a series of practical and hard moves aimed at the malpractices of the style have been frequently attacked, constantly releasing new signals.

On October 27, 2017, only three days after the conclusion of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Political Bureau of the 19th Central Committee held its first meeting. The meeting deliberated and adopted the "Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Eight Provisions of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee," which further standardized, refined, and perfected the regulations on investigation, meetings, briefings, and overseas visits.

This implementation rule is regarded by many people as an "upgraded version" of the eight provisions, with a more resolute attitude and stricter measures, and resolutely responds to the doubts of "whether the strict management of the party will take a breath of relief and rest".

Five years later, only three days after the conclusion of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the first meeting of the Political Bureau of the 20th CPC Central Committee was held, and the review of the "Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Eight Provisions of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee" once again became one of the important agendas.

Every time, at a special time node, the eight central regulations are refined and redeployed, which releases a clear signal of consistently implementing the eight central regulations and carrying out the construction of work style to the end.

In addition, General Secretary Xi Jinping presides over the democratic life meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee every year to listen to reports on the implementation of the eight regulations and carry out criticism and self-criticism; at the plenary session of the CPC Central Committee and the plenary session of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and other important meetings held every year, General Secretary Xi Jinping has made special arrangements and put forward clear requirements for implementing the eight regulations of the CPC Central Committee and strengthening the building of work style; from the party's mass line education and practice activities, the special education of "three stricts and three realities", the study and Xi education of "two studies and one action", to the theme education of "not forgetting the original intention and keeping the mission firmly in mind". Party history Xi education, study Xi implement the theme education of Xi Jinping New Era Socialist Thought with Chinese Characteristics, and continue to carry out centralized education within the Party to improve the work style and keep close contact with the masses......

"We must continue to rectify the problems of corruption and work style around the masses. "We must always guard against the new trend of the 'four winds' stealth mutation. "The construction of work style is only in progress, not completed. ”...... A series of loud calls and resolute and powerful deployments have swept the land of China.

Turning customs into customs

"This is a clear political account and an account of people's hearts!"

The party's style of work is the image of the party, and it is a barometer for observing the relationship between the party and the masses and between the cadres and the masses and the people's support.

Eleven years of stepping on the stone to leave a mark, grasping the iron with traces, one by one style of construction of "small and micro themes" breakthroughs, writing a "grand narrative" of the change of the style of the Communists, changing the party style and political style, leading the social conditions and public opinion, changing China, but also shaping the new era.

As General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed at the Second Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, "formulating and implementing the eight central regulations is our party's move to establish faith in the new era, and we must always grasp it unremittingly and work hard for a long time until it truly becomes a custom and lead the social style and the people's style with a fine party style."

In the past 11 years, the people's feelings are the most real.

People say from the bottom of their hearts, "It's so much more convenient now." ”

It is not uncommon to see surveys that have been conducted in the past, but now more and more surveys can be carried out to understand the situation, grasp the problems accurately, make suggestions more pragmatic, and take more effective measures.
