Ideology gathers strong strength, and the banner leads the right direction. At the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly expounded the important idea of the party's self-revolution, scientifically answered major questions such as why our party should self-revolution, why it can self-revolution, and how to promote self-revolution, and made strategic arrangements for in-depth promotion of comprehensive and strict governance of the party, the construction of party style and clean government, and the fight against corruption. In his work report, Comrade Li Xi stressed the need to carry forward the spirit of thorough self-revolution, strengthen the self-building of discipline inspection and supervision organs, and forge a high-quality professional discipline inspection and supervision contingent. Discipline inspection and supervision cadre supervision departments must resolutely implement the arrangements of the plenum, consolidate and expand the achievements of education and rectification, and have the courage to make self-revolution in ideology, work style, honesty, and strict management, so as to provide a strong guarantee for forging a discipline inspection and supervision iron army that is loyal, clean, responsible, and daring to be good at fighting.
Deeply study and understand General Secretary Xi Jinping's important thoughts on the party's self-revolution, and always forge political loyalty
Strengthen theoretical armament. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that it is necessary to continuously deepen the understanding of the laws of the party's self-revolution, make the party's self-revolution ideas and measures more rigorous, and grasp the self-revolution on every front and every link in a concrete and in-depth manner. Adhere to the study and implementation of the party's important ideas of self-revolution as the primary political task, comprehensively and systematically study, strictly implement the "first topic" system and collective learning system, with deep feelings, firm beliefs, and strong missions, and constantly enhance the ideological consciousness of firmly supporting the "two establishments" and resolutely achieving the "two safeguards". Follow up the study in a timely manner, deeply study General Secretary Xi Jinping's important expositions on the construction of the discipline inspection and supervision team, deeply understand the essence, scientific connotation and practical requirements contained therein, and ensure that it always maintains a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core in terms of ideology, politics and action. In connection with practical learning, we will continue to work deepening, internalization, and transformation, find ideas, ideas, methods, and measures from the party's innovative theories, and transform the learning results into practical results in promoting the high-quality development of discipline inspection and supervision cadre supervision.
Deepen political supervision. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that political supervision is a powerful measure to urge the whole party to adhere to the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee. Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, discipline inspection and supervision cadre supervision departments at all levels have insisted on looking at politics, investigating and governing politically, and the political stance of discipline inspection and supervision cadres has become firmer, and their political awareness has been continuously enhanced, and the proportion of violations of political discipline has decreased year by year. We will persistently take the "two establishments" and "two safeguards" as the fundamental direction of political supervision, focus on the strict implementation of political responsibility, strengthen the supervision and inspection of the discipline inspection and supervision organs to implement the major policies of the Party Central Committee and the important instructions and instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping, and ensure that all work always moves in the right direction. Focus on strict political discipline and political rules of the Party, resolutely fight against words and deeds that endanger the authority of the Party Central Committee and centralized and unified leadership, resolutely rectify the "seven haves" problems within the discipline inspection and supervision system, resolutely eliminate two-faced people with improper intentions, political vacillation, and collapsed ideals and beliefs, and continue to purify the political ecology. Focus on serious political life within the party, and urge discipline inspection and supervision leading cadres, especially the "top leaders", to regularly carry out political physical examinations, clean up political dust, and purify the political soul, so as to be strict with themselves, strictly bear their responsibilities, and strictly manage their jurisdiction.
Pay close attention to party discipline education. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that it is necessary to take the opportunity of studying and implementing the newly revised disciplinary regulations to carry out a centralized discipline education in the whole party. We must resolutely implement the deployment of the Party Central Committee, do a good job in daily education, adhere to the combination of regular and centralized learning, study and comprehend General Secretary Xi Jinping's important expositions on the party's discipline construction in the original form, study the "Regulations" chapter by chapter, accurately grasp its main meaning and requirements, and promote the "Regulations" into the brain and heart. We should do a good job in the implementation of corrections, insist on using party rules and party discipline to correct thoughts and actions, take the lead in learning discipline, knowing discipline, knowing discipline, and abiding by discipline, so that iron discipline can "grow teeth" and exert authority, so that cadres can be vigilant and knowledgeable, and further strengthen the sense of discipline, strengthen self-restraint, and improve immunity. We should do a good job of consolidating and upgrading, closely combine the study and education of party discipline with the implementation of the decisions and arrangements of the plenary session of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the completion of key tasks of cadre supervision, and transform the results of learning and education into effective measures to promote work.
Normalize the inspection and rectification of outstanding problems in the cadre team, and promote the "three non-corruption" as a whole
Persist in turning the blade inward, and maintain the punishment and deterrence of "not daring to be corrupt". General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that it is necessary to strengthen the construction of the discipline inspection and supervision cadre team, normalize the elimination of black sheep, and resolutely prevent and control the "black under the lamp". In 2023, a total of 8,977 discipline inspection and supervision cadres will be investigated and punished across the country, and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission have successively investigated and dealt with serious violations of discipline and law by cadres such as Liu Ran, Hao Zongqiang, Liu Lixian, and Chen Yuxiang, forming a strong deterrent. We must highlight the unwavering high-pressure punishment, cut the rotten flesh inward, seriously and conscientiously clean up the door, dig deep and carefully investigate the problem of discipline and law violations by discipline inspection and supervision cadres, and have zero tolerance for the behavior of using the power of discipline inspection and supervision and the influence of their positions to seek personal gains. Highlight key points and do not relax in rectification, and increase the intensity of investigation and punishment of cadres in key positions where power is concentrated and the risk is relatively high, such as supervision and inspection, review and investigation, and inspection and inspection, and resolutely rectify stubborn diseases such as using cases for personal gain, collusion and cover-up, and leakage. It is important to highlight the comprehensive and strict non-stop, adhere to strict standards, strictly investigate and punish those who do not rein in and do not stop, and violate discipline in the face of the wind, and make timely adjustments to those who are not suitable for work in discipline inspection and supervision posts, and continue to prevent and control the "black under the lights" with the clearest attitude, the most effective measures, and the most decisive actions.
Promote reform and governance with cases, highlighting the institutional constraints of "no corruption". General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that it is necessary to deepen the treatment of both the symptoms and the root causes, systematically implement the treatment, and promote the normalization and long-term effect of preventing and controlling corruption. During the period of education and rectification, our office drafted and formulated the "Ten Prohibitions on the Online Behavior of Discipline Inspection and Supervision Cadres" and other system regulations in response to the outstanding problems and risks and hidden dangers in team building reflected in the case, and took the lead in carrying out special rectification such as online words and deeds, and non-investigation of pressure parts, improved the internal control mechanism for the operation of power, and formed a complete closed loop of case handling, supervision, rectification, and governance. We will adhere to the principle of "investigation, reform, and treatment", continue to do a good job in the "second half of the article", carry out in-depth analysis of individual cases and special analysis of similar cases, and thoroughly study and judge the characteristics and laws of the anti-corruption struggle within the discipline inspection and supervision system, so as to not only discover problems but also promote the resolution of them. Continue to make good use of methods such as discipline inspection and supervision recommendations, urge the units where the cases occurred to earnestly learn lessons, improve systems and mechanisms, and turn the process of solving problems into a process of plugging loopholes and making up for shortcomings. Continue to focus on the common and prominent problems in the construction of the cadre team, identify the deep-seated reasons behind the risks in the operation of discipline inspection and supervision powers, carry out special rectification on a regular basis, and grasp the end, make changes in place, and treat the root causes.
Strengthen warning education and enhance the ideological consciousness of "not wanting to be corrupt". General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that it is necessary to deeply analyze negative examples, clarify law and discipline with cases, promote rectification, and effectively play a warning role. Since the beginning of the education and rectification, our office has guided cadres to continuously improve their ideological consciousness and action consciousness of resisting corruption and preventing degeneration by issuing warning notices on case lessons, compiling and distributing the "Warning Record of Typical Cases of Discipline Inspection and Supervision Cadres Violating Discipline and Law", developing warning education courses, and carrying out warning lectures. Discipline inspection and supervision organs in all localities have established and improved mechanisms for using cases to explain morality, discipline, law, and responsibility, innovating forms of warning education, increasing coverage, and achieving good results in investigating and handling one case, warning one area, and governing one area. We will combine the study and education of party discipline carried out in the whole party, strengthen the reporting of cases, regularly report typical cases of discipline and law violations by discipline inspection and supervision cadres, and educate and guide discipline inspection and supervision cadres to look at themselves in the mirror and reflect on themselves. Strengthen hierarchical and categorical warning education, using media such as newspapers and periodicals, websites, and WeChat public accounts to carry out warning education, and use methods such as promptly releasing case information, organizing observer case trials, printing and distributing educational warning materials, and working with relevant departments to shoot warning education films, and use the things around them to educate people around them, and guide cadres to know and respect, be vigilant and fearful, and abide by the bottom line. Strengthen the construction of a culture of integrity in the new era, fully tap the rich content of the excellent traditional culture of integrity, actively publicize the concept of integrity and models of integrity, pay attention to the construction of family education and family style, and promote the formation of a good atmosphere of respecting honesty and rejecting corruption.
Normalize strict supervision and management, and constantly improve the long-term mechanism of strict management and strict governance
Do practical and detailed daily supervision. It is necessary to profoundly understand that strict management of the contingent of discipline inspection and supervision cadres is love, always adhere to the strict tone unswervingly, and normalize strict supervision and management. In 2023, a total of more than 43,700 clues involving discipline inspection and supervision cadres will be dealt with across the country, and 7,817 people will be punished, making the discipline inspection and supervision team more pure. We will carry out the entire process of cadre supervision with a strict tone, a strict atmosphere, and strict measures, pay close attention to grasping small problems as early as possible, persist in grasping them on a daily basis and strictly on a regular basis, and discover, warn, criticize, and correct problems that are symptomatic and tendentious as soon as possible, so that cadres will make fewer mistakes and no serious mistakes. Keep a close eye on the key minority, strengthen the supervision of the "number one" and members of the leadership group in the discipline inspection and supervision system, and control the "vast majority" by managing the "key minority"; Strengthen the education, management and supervision of young cadres, and guide cadres to buckle the "first button" of honest and honest politics. We should pay close attention to the stubborn diseases of the "four winds," seriously investigate and deal with the spiritual problems of violating the eight central regulations, "investigate corruption by the wind" and "rectify the trend by corruption," make efforts to rectify the formalism and bureaucracy that are strongly resented by the masses at the grassroots level, resolutely prevent the resurgence of hedonism and extravagance, especially the problem of eating and drinking in violation of regulations, and resolutely rectify the problems of mental slackness, lax self-demand, inaction, slow action, and disorderly action.
Improve and improve the supervision system. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that discipline inspection and supervision organs should clarify the boundaries of power, improve the internal control mechanism, and take the initiative to accept the supervision of all aspects of the party and society. In light of the actual situation of cadre supervision, we will further improve the system of supervision and restraint of power, carry out special research on the operation of discipline inspection and supervision powers such as supervision and discipline enforcement, strengthen data analysis, grasp characteristics and trends, find risk loopholes, improve supervision and restraint mechanisms in a targeted manner, and standardize the use of power. We should further improve the comprehensive and strict management mechanism, consolidate the management responsibility for managing ideology, work, work style, and discipline, tighten the cage of the system for managing people, affairs, and power, and continuously improve the level of standardization, legalization, and regularization of work. Further improve the cadre management and restraint mechanism, implement internal supervision and coordination opinions, strengthen communication and cooperation with departments such as organizations, letters and visits, inspections, case management, trials, and party committees of organs, and actively invite special supervisors to participate in relevant work, and promote the formation of a joint force for supervision.
Encourage and motivate to take responsibility. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that it is necessary to continue to explore and improve effective measures to comprehensively and strictly govern the party, and better stimulate the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the majority of party members and cadres. We will persist in punishing the former and punishing the latter, treating the sick and saving people, carry out ideological and political work throughout the work of supervising cadres, educate and help rescue cadres to the greatest extent, and follow up and pay follow-up visits to cadres who have been punished in a timely manner, so that cadres will have more confidence in the organization, rely on the organization, and feel the warmth of the organization. Adhere to the equal emphasis on incentives and constraints, unify strict management and supervision with encouragement and responsibility, align responsibility for the organization with responsibility for cadres, pay attention to distinguishing between intention and negligence, private and official duties, violations and trial and error, precise accountability, fault tolerance and exemption, and encourage cadres to be diligent, dedicated, honest and promising. Persist in being meticulous and practical, caring for and caring for cadres who have been falsely accused and wrongly accused, promptly clarifying the names and eliminating the impact of cadres who have been falsely accused, seriously investigating and dealing with the issue of threatening, intimidating, and framing discipline inspection and supervision cadres, promptly circulating and clarifying the correct names and investigating and handling typical cases of false accusations and frame-ups, and taking a clear stand to support and encourage cadres who dare to be good at fighting and are not afraid of offending people.
Dare to struggle, be good at fighting, and earnestly enhance the ability to perform duties loyally and conscientiously
Carry forward the style of daring to fight and be good at fighting. As the "guardians of the guards," the discipline inspection and supervision cadre supervision departments must uphold principles, have the courage to show their swords, and unswervingly promote the uprightness, discipline, and anti-corruption within the system. Carry forward the spirit of struggle, keep in mind the "three musts", practice the "three stricts and three realities", firmly shoulder the political responsibility of maintaining the advanced purity of the discipline inspection and supervision organs, and always charge ahead in the protracted battle of tackling tough problems. We should consciously struggle against unhealthy tendencies and corrupt phenomena in the ranks, and resolutely prevent cherishing feathers, being a "good gentleman," and being willing to be "the loneliest person." Strengthen the ability to struggle, strengthen ideological tempering, political experience, practical training, and professional training, firmly establish a strong awareness of the rule of law, procedures, and evidence, do a good job of "one case and one summary", and arrange cadres to practice courage, temper will, and develop talents on the front line of case handling, and train a hard backbone, iron shoulders, and real skills that are good at fighting.
Improve the ability to work hard. In the new era and new journey, the supervision of discipline inspection and supervision cadres is faced with many new situations and new problems, and we must study deeply, conduct practical investigations, grasp implementation, and do our work more scientifically, more rigorously, and more effectively. It is necessary to make efforts to investigate the actual situation, go down to the grassroots level and to the front line, carry out cadre supervision, investigation and study, comprehensively understand the situation of the construction of the discipline inspection and supervision contingent, promptly discover and correct problems in the exercise of power and in the exercise of clean and diligent administration, and carry out supervision in a targeted manner. We should make efforts to work hard, establish and practice a correct outlook on political achievements, persist in seeking truth from facts, being objective and fair, vigorously guard against formalism and bureaucracy, strictly abide by regulations, discipline and law, and do a thorough and meticulous job in all aspects of cadre supervision. Work seeking practical results, adapt measures to local conditions, combine with reality, grasp the implementation of the key points of the year's work item by item, reflect loyalty and honesty with selfless work, reflect responsibility with real problems, reflect the effectiveness of implementation with solving problems, and continuously improve the quality and efficiency of supervision work.
Strengthen the coordination between the upper and lower levels. Discipline inspection and supervision cadre supervision departments must strengthen systematic thinking, system concepts, linkage from top to bottom, through coordination, and promote the overall improvement of work effectiveness. Increase the force of guidance and supervision, conduct pressure at all levels, consolidate responsibilities, improve mechanisms such as assigning and supervising, escalating handling, and designating jurisdiction, promote the discipline inspection commissions and supervision commissions at the next level to increase the intensity of case handling, and strictly hold accountable the leading groups of discipline inspection and supervision organs and their principal responsible persons who do not handle cases or press cases into investigations. Intensify training and training, develop courses with the characteristics of cadre supervision, and continue to strengthen training for all staff and actual combat training through such forms as holding training courses, training on behalf of cases, and training on behalf of cadres, so as to continuously improve the level of ability to do a good job in ideological and political work, accurately supervise discipline enforcement and law enforcement, and scientifically apply policies and strategies. Intensify analysis and exchanges, continue to deepen statistical analysis of the supervision of cadres in discipline inspection and supervision organs across the country, and improve the standards for information reporting and situation reporting systems. Sort out and summarize the work experience and practices of cadres in various regions, departments and units, actively publicize and promote, and promote exchanges and mutual learning.
