Strengthening the building of discipline is a fundamental policy for comprehensively and strictly administering the party. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China incorporated discipline construction into the overall layout of Party building, and the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly proposed to comprehensively strengthen the Party's discipline construction. The Party Central Committee has persistently strengthened the construction of discipline, improved the norms for the daily behavior and management of Party members and cadres, and achieved important practical and institutional results in the construction of discipline.
The newly revised "Regulations on Disciplinary Actions of the Communist Party of China" (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations") on the basis of summarizing practical experience and advancing with the times to improve discipline norms is conducive to giving full play to the role of discipline construction as a sharp tool for treating both the symptoms and the root causes, and promoting the comprehensive and strict governance of the Party to develop in depth.
Adhere to systematic thinking, scientific regulations, and promote the integration of discipline and law enforcement
The revision of the "Regulations" adheres to scientific regulations, not only systematically combing the Party Constitution and other intra-Party laws and regulations, but also closely combining the study and implementation of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and extensively listening to the opinions and suggestions of provincial, municipal, and county-level discipline inspection commissions and supervision commissions and grass-roots Party members and cadres, understanding the experience and practices of implementing the "Regulations", finding key and difficult problems in discipline enforcement and supervision, and on the basis of maintaining the overall stability of the "Regulations", focusing on the connection with other intra-Party regulations and national laws and regulations, and promoting the integration of discipline enforcement and law enforcement. Maintain the continuity of the system and earnestly maintain the rigidity and seriousness of discipline.
For example, implement the requirements of "discipline and law enforcement", improve the provisions on the connection between discipline and law, and promote the matching of party discipline and government affairs. A new article 28 is added, which stipulates that Party members who violate the law and commit crimes shall be given Party discipline sanctions in accordance with regulations, so that the application of discipline and the application of law are organically integrated, and Party discipline and government affairs and other sanctions are matched. Article 35 clearly stipulates that where a Party member receives a sanction of removal from office or higher in accordance with law, he or she shall be given a sanction of removal from internal Party positions or higher in accordance with the provisions of these Regulations. Article 30 clearly stipulates that party discipline sanctions shall be imposed on those who undermine the order of the socialist market economy, violate the administration of public security, violate the state's financial and economic discipline, and other illegal acts, depending on the severity of the circumstances, and clearly stipulate that party members who have committed acts involving pornography and drugs that have lost the conditions for party membership and seriously tarnished the party's image shall be expelled from the party.
Summarize the experience of strictly managing the party and governing the party, and realize the advancement of discipline construction with the times
In order to adapt to the new situation, new tasks and new requirements of comprehensively and strictly governing the party, the "Regulations" summarize the experience of strictly managing the party and governing the party, make necessary revisions according to the deployment of the party central committee and the requirements of the development of the situation, and strive to keep pace with the times in the construction of discipline.
To implement the requirements of comprehensively promoting rural revitalization, Article 122 of the Regulations adjusts the behavior of infringing on the interests of the masses in the field of poverty alleviation to the behavior of infringing on the interests of the masses in the field of rural revitalization. Article 124 substantiates the provisions on punishment for favoring relatives and friends in social assistance and for clearly unfair conduct, so as to provide disciplinary safeguards for the effective protection and improvement of people's livelihood.
Formalism and bureaucracy seriously affect the implementation of the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee, and are the great enemies of realizing the Party's mission and tasks in the new era and new journey. After the strict rectification since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, formalism and bureaucracy have been curbed and governed to a certain extent, but phenomena such as prohibition and transformation still occur from time to time.
This is also fully reflected in this revision. In view of the stubborn disease of formalism and bureaucracy that party members and cadres have strongly reflected, Article 132 of the "Regulations" adds punishment provisions for arbitrary decision-making, mechanical execution, engaging in literature and meetings, increasing the number of layers of code, leaving excessive traces, and increasing the burden of grassroots work.
Strict management and supervision and encouragement of responsibility are unified
The "Regulations" are an important basic intra-Party regulation for the governance of the Party, and are also the code of conduct and guidance for Party organizations at all levels and all Party members. The effect of revising the "Regulations" is not only reflected in the punishment of inaction and disorderly acts, but also through clear direction, rules, positive atmosphere, and strong immunity, to educate and guide the majority of party members and cadres to "control their hands and feet" in honesty and "let go of their hands and feet" in their careers, and encourage party members and cadres to take responsibility and start a business.
Adhere to the combination of strict management and love, and pay equal attention to incentives and constraints, and the "Regulations" make some detailed provisions.
For example, implement the requirements of the "three distinctions", improve the rules for the use of disciplinary sanctions, and distinguish between different situations such as ordinary discipline violations, minor discipline violations, and failure to pursue party discipline responsibilities and give corresponding treatments. In response to the conspicuous problems discovered in the course of discipline enforcement and supervision, truly regulate and restrain the online words and deeds of Party members, and article 153 adds provisions on sanctions for violating social order and good customs and having inappropriate words and deeds in cyberspace, to promote Party members to be the same online and offline, and to tighten the string that the Internet is not a place outside the law.
In response to the problem of leading cadres "new officials ignoring old accounts", the "Regulations" add provisions on the punishment of leading cadres who are Party members who have existed before taking office and are within the scope of their duties, passively evade or shirk responsibility, and cause serious damage or serious adverse impact, so as to promote Party members and leading cadres to actively take responsibility and have the courage to take responsibility.
Discipline is the "precept" for governing the party and governing the party, and it is also the standard and compliance for party members and cadres to restrain their own behavior. The majority of party members and cadres should conscientiously study the "Regulations", earnestly put themselves in, put their work in, and put their responsibilities in, deeply understand the key content and direction of the revision of the "Regulations", strengthen self-restraint, promote responsibility, unify thinking, unified will, unified action on the new journey, and move forward in unison.
