Strengthen all-round management and regular supervision

In order to thoroughly study and implement the revised "Regulations on Disciplinary Actions of the Communist Party of China" (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations"), with the consent of the Party Central Committee, Party discipline study and education will be carried out throughout the Party from April to July 2024. Recently, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the "Notice on Carrying out Party Discipline Study and Education in the Whole Party", requiring party members, especially party member leading cadres, to conscientiously study the "Regulations", so as to learn discipline, know discipline, understand discipline, and abide by discipline, figure out what the party's discipline and rules are, figure out what can and cannot be done, and engrave compliance with rules and discipline in their hearts, internalize it into the code of words and deeds, and further strengthen the sense of discipline, strengthen self-restraint, and improve immunity.

In the report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "Strengthen all-round management and regular supervision of cadres". The "Regulations" focus on strengthening the full chain and full cycle coverage management of all party members, keep pace with the times, improve discipline and norms, and delineate an untouchable bottom line. We must take the study and implementation of the "Regulations" as an opportunity to promote party organizations and leading groups at all levels to strictly grasp the construction of party discipline, promote the majority of party members and cadres to strengthen the consciousness of abiding by discipline, and ensure that the whole party consciously maintains a high degree of consistency with the party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core with strict discipline, unified thinking and action, knows what to do, and orders and prohibitions, so as to form a strong driving force and joint force to promote Chinese-style modernization.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has incorporated the comprehensive and strict governance of the Party into the "four comprehensive" strategic layout, and has put strict standards and strict measures throughout the entire process and all aspects of Party governance

It is the principle and principle of party building that the party should manage the party and administer the party strictly.

The Party Program adopted at the First Party Congress clearly stipulates the management of Party members. The two party constitutions set up a special chapter on discipline, emphasizing political discipline and organizational discipline. Since the Jinggangshan Revolution, Comrade Mao Zedong has always emphasized that party discipline is an important guarantee for implementing the party's political line and strengthening the party's unity and unity. After our party became the ruling party, the party Central Committee clearly put forward the concept that "the party should manage the party" and set strict requirements, strict management, and strict supervision over party members and cadres. For the first time, the constitution of the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China included "strict governance of the party" in the general program. For the first time, the constitution of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) included "insisting that the party should manage the party and govern the party strictly" into the general outline.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has incorporated the comprehensive and strict governance of the Party into the "four comprehensive" strategic layout, and has put strict standards and strict measures throughout the entire process and all aspects of Party governance. General Secretary Xi Jinping made a series of important expositions on strengthening the all-round management and regular supervision of party members and cadres, and put forward a series of clear requirements.

In November 2012, just after the conclusion of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out when meeting with Chinese and foreign journalists: "Our responsibility is to work with all comrades in the party to insist that the party should manage the party and govern the party strictly." ”

In December 2014, when General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected Jiangsu, he proposed for the first time to comprehensively and strictly govern the party, and pointed out: "The key to strict governance of the party lies in the strict management of cadres, and it is necessary to achieve comprehensive management, strict standards, link cohesion, supporting measures, and clear responsibilities." ”

In November 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the 10th collective study of the Political Bureau of the 19th Central Committee: "Good cadres are selected, and they are managed. Strict management is love, and it is truly responsible for cadres. It is necessary to persist in strict education, strict management, and strict supervision, and implement strict management of cadres in the entire process of building the contingent of cadres. ”

In January 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the Third Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection: "It is necessary to adhere to the combination of ideological education, policy probation, and discipline and law deterrence, strengthen the regular supervision and all-round management of party members and cadres, and reflect love with strict management." ”

In October 2022, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized in the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China: "Comprehensively strengthen the construction of party discipline, and urge leading cadres, especially senior cadres, to be strict with themselves, strictly assume their responsibilities, and strictly manage their jurisdiction." ”

……

A series of important requirements and important deployments have clarified the ideas and measures for strictly managing the party and strengthening discipline construction in the new era and new journey, and pointed out the direction and provided compliance for the all-round management and regular supervision of party members and cadres.

Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core and under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, our Party has persistently strengthened discipline construction, focused on the "key minority" to grasp discipline, improved the daily behavior management norms of Party members and cadres, and achieved important practical and institutional achievements in discipline construction.

The three revisions to the "Regulations" have always adhered to the strict tone, comprehensively strengthened the party's discipline construction, and continued to work the full coverage of the whole chain and the whole cycle

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has revised the "Regulations" three times, always adhered to the strict tone, comprehensively strengthened the party's discipline construction, continued to work the full coverage of the whole chain and the whole cycle, and constantly enhanced the ability of self-purification, self-improvement, self-innovation and self-improvement.

In 2015, the "Regulations" were revised to integrate the discipline requirements of the Party Constitution, the Party Central Committee and other internal Party regulations into six disciplines: political discipline, organizational discipline, integrity discipline, mass discipline, work discipline and life discipline, and made a "negative list" for the majority of Party members.

In 2018, the "Regulations" were revised to improve the political, contemporary and pertinent nature of discipline construction. Some new types of discipline violations have been included in the "negative list" and provisions on the use of the "four forms" of supervision and discipline enforcement have been added...... A series of important revisions have further tightened the bolts of party discipline and tightened the fence of the system.

In December 2023, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the revised Regulations. The "Regulations" adhere to the strict word, implement the strict tone throughout, refine the disciplinary violations and punishment provisions in a targeted manner, promote the integration and linkage of the comprehensive and strict governance of the party system with the system, and promote continuous efforts in the full coverage of the whole chain and the whole cycle.

——Consolidate responsibilities, equal rights and responsibilities, and adhere to the whole chain of responsibility.

Judging from the practice of supervising and enforcing discipline, some leading cadres are irresponsible or negligent in their work, and they are ineffective in implementing, inspecting, and supervising the implementation of decisions and arrangements made by their superiors, causing relatively large losses to the interests of the party, the state, and the people, as well as to public property. Article 130 of the "Regulations" stipulates sanctions for Party members and cadres who fail to implement the decisions and deployments of their superiors, and urges Party members and cadres to take responsibility, perform their duties and responsibilities, and standardize the use of power.

In practice, some party members and cadres do not have a strong sense of responsibility, and the problem of "new officials ignoring old accounts" still occurs. Article 130 of the "Regulations" substantiates the relevant provisions, requiring party members and leading cadres to be effectively responsible for the problems that already exist before they take office and fall within the scope of their duties, and establish "new contributions" in solving "old accounts".

——Grasp the early grasp of the small, expand and extend, and implement the full cycle of management.

The "Regulations" insist on discovering problems and correcting deviations in a timely manner, implement the spirit of the amendment to the Party Constitution of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, clearly stipulate the deepening of the use of the "four forms" of supervision and discipline, and enrich the content of "timely conversation and reminder, criticism and education, order inspection, and admonishment" in the first form, and promote the early grasp of small problems, prevention of micro problems, and fortification at all levels, so that Party members and cadres do not make or make fewer mistakes, especially serious mistakes.

Judging from the practice of supervising and enforcing discipline, some party members continue to engage in corruption after retiring, or use the influence formed while in office to seek benefits for others. The "Regulations" not only enrich the punishment provisions for in-service Party members and cadres who violate the spirit of the eight provisions of the Central Committee and carry out relevant unclean behaviors, but also improve the punishment provisions for Party members and cadres who have left their posts or retired (left) from their posts to engage in illegal employment and use their original powers or the influence of their positions to seek benefits for their relatives and friends, and do not lower the requirements for Party members and cadres because they leave their posts.

In the Internet era, party members play a vanguard and exemplary role in the whole society, which is not only reflected offline, but also online, which itself is also a realistic requirement for insisting on the full-cycle management of party members. The "Regulations" keep up with the development of the times, respond to the needs of reality, and earnestly regulate and restrain the online words and deeds of Party members, adding provisions on punishment for violating public order and good customs and inappropriate words and deeds in cyberspace in Article 153, so as to promote Party members to be strict with themselves at all times.

——Grasp the key, leave no blanks, and promote full coverage of the object.

According to the report of the discipline inspection and supervision organs, the problems of illegal interference and meddling in market economic activities, judicial activities, and discipline enforcement activities are still quite prominent in some localities. Not only leading cadres, but also party members and cadres working at the grassroots level often have the above-mentioned problems. Articles 141 and 142 of the "Regulations" extend the scope of punishment for illegal interference and meddling in market economic activities, judicial activities, and discipline enforcement activities from "party-member leading cadres" to all party members.

The "Regulations" not only regulate the incorruptible behavior of Party member leading cadres themselves, but also strengthen the regulation of the relevant violations of the rules and regulations of the relatives of leading cadres, staff members and other persons with specific relationships, and enrich the punishment provisions on the use of power or influence in the position to provide assistance to relatives in the operation of special resources such as precious and special products for the benefit of using their power or influence in Article 104, and improve the punishment provisions on refusal to correct the behavior of spouses, children and their spouses in doing business and running enterprises in violation of regulations in Article 107, so as to promote the integrity of Party member leading cadres in performing official duties and using power honestly. Honest and self-cultivation, honest and family.

It is necessary to strengthen the regular management and supervision of cadres, insist on demanding cadres with strict standards, managing cadres with strict measures, and restraining cadres with strict discipline, so that cadres will be fearful, warned, and restrained in deeds

General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that we should insist on demanding cadres with strict standards, managing cadres with strict measures, and restraining cadres with strict discipline. We must always adhere to the tone of strictness, constantly improve discipline and rules, and send a strong signal that the party will be administered more and more strictly, and that discipline will become stricter in the future.

-- Implement the responsibility of strictly governing the party.

It is impossible to strictly administer the party without clarifying responsibilities, implementing responsibilities, and pursuing responsibilities. General Secretary Xi Jinping requires that the whole chain of responsibility be adhered to, the main responsibility of party committees (party groups) at all levels to govern the party in an all-round and strict manner, and the supervision responsibilities of discipline inspection commissions at all levels should be promoted, and the secretaries of party committees (party groups) at all levels should shoulder the responsibility of the first responsible person, and other members of the leadership team should effectively assume "one post and two responsibilities", so that each party member and cadre can exercise their due rights and fulfill their responsibilities, so that the rights and responsibilities are equal. Failure to take responsibility must be asked, pressure is transmitted layer by layer, responsibility is interlocking, and the sense of responsibility and mission of governing the party is effectively enhanced, and the good situation of the whole party working together is consolidated and developed.

It is necessary to establish a system that is conducive to cadres daring to grasp and manage, and to party committees shouldering the main responsibility. Party committees (Party groups) at all levels should strengthen the daily management of Party members and cadres, keep abreast of the ideological, work, and living conditions of Party members and cadres under their management, grasp small problems as early as possible, and urge Party members and cadres to behave according to their true colors and act according to their roles. Discipline inspection commissions at all levels must dare to be good at struggle and enforce discipline strictly and precisely. In order for every party member and cadre to deeply understand, party members and cadres must work harder and accept stricter constraints.

-- Persist in unifying the "key minority" with the "overwhelming majority."

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, a striking feature of comprehensively and strictly administering the party has been that it has not only set universal demands on the vast number of party members, but also set higher and stricter standards for the "key minority," especially senior cadres, and carried out stricter management and supervision.

It is necessary to persist in putting discipline in the forefront, to ensure that everyone is equal before discipline and that there are no exceptions in the enforcement of discipline, and to resolutely investigate and deal with all problems of violating party rules and party discipline when they are discovered, so as to earnestly safeguard the rigidity and seriousness of discipline. The "number one leader" is the "leading goose" in the development of the party's cause, and it is necessary to conscientiously implement the "Opinions of the CPC Central Committee on Strengthening Supervision over the 'Number One' and the Leading Group" and give prominence to strengthening supervision over the "key minority," especially the "number one" and the leading body. Young cadres are the new force in the development of the cause of the party and the state and the successors of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. It is necessary to promote the extension of the comprehensive and strict management of the party to the grassroots level, and restrain party members and cadres with strict standards and strict measures, so that the party can always maintain the political nature of the vanguard.

——Dare to be more serious, pay attention to daily life, grasp the early and small, and prevent the slightest.

Analyzing the typical cases investigated and dealt with in recent years, most of them have a process of quantitative change to qualitative change and small mistake to big mistake. If the organization pulls a hand in a timely manner when a problem is discovered, some party members and cadres will not slip further and further down the wrong road.

It is necessary to implement the requirements of the "Regulations" to deepen the use of the "four forms" of supervision and discipline, do a detailed and practical routine supervision of party members and cadres, understand more about the daily thinking, work, work style, and living conditions of party members and cadres, pay more attention to the feedback of the masses, grasp the small as soon as possible, and prevent the slightest problem. It is necessary to embody intra-party supervision in everything at all times.

-- Adhere to the unity of strict management and care and trust.

General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that it is necessary to adhere to the combination of strict management and love, and pay equal attention to incentives and constraints, so as to better stimulate the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the majority of party members and cadres. The "Regulations" adhere to seeking truth from facts, unify strict management and supervision with encouraging responsibility, make targeted discipline and norms, and promote the creation of a positive, healthy, and entrepreneurial political ecology and good environment.

It is necessary to implement the consistent principle of punishing the former and punishing the latter, treating the sick and saving the people, persist in maintaining the unity of the seriousness of the party's discipline and trusting and caring for cadres, strengthen the education, management, and supervision of party members and cadres, prevent problems among party members and cadres to the greatest extent, and stimulate the enthusiasm of party members and cadres to the greatest extent.
