  On December 4, 2020, the eighth anniversary of the promulgation of the eight central regulations.

  Eight years ago, it was hard to imagine that the formalism, bureaucracy, hedonism, and extravagance that existed in the ranks of party members and cadres could be fundamentally changed after the central government issued a short "eight regulations."

  Over the past 8 years, the Party’s strict governance has been continuously advanced, the "tiger fighting", "flying" and "fox hunting" have not been reduced. The righteousness and discipline are vigorous. The Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has made great political efforts. Courage and history are responsible for advancing style building and anti-corruption struggle, and sweeping away many chronic diseases that have accumulated over a long period of time.

  According to Xinhua News Agency, since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, as of the end of October 2020, a total of 375,000 cases of hedonism and extravagance have been investigated and dealt with, and 518,000 people have been criticized, educated, helped and dealt with, of which 326,000 have been punished by party discipline and government affairs.

  Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, as of the end of October 2020, 183,000 cases of formalism and bureaucracy have been investigated and dealt with nationwide, and 271,000 people have been criticized, educated, helped and dealt with, of which 157,000 have been punished by party discipline and government affairs.

  "The world is not in trouble, and there is no way to do it." The political wisdom and governance experience contained in the eight central regulations are worth summarizing, and how to consolidate and implement the results of the spirit of the eight central regulations in the next stage is worth exploring.

  Continuous improvement of eight regulations

  Excellent results in getting rid of chronic diseases

  On December 4, 2012, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee deliberated and approved eight regulations on improving work style and keeping close contact with the masses, namely the "Eight Central Regulations."

  Since then, a great change of turbidity and clearness has begun, and it has been consistent and endless.

  After the promulgation of the eight central regulations, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has always put the implementation of the eight central regulations and strengthening the work style construction in a prominent position, and made a series of major decision-making arrangements.

  Zhuang Deshui, deputy director of Peking University's Center for Integrity Construction Research, believes that the eight years can be divided into three stages:

  The first stage is to implement the eight central regulations and rectify the four winds.

Mainly to carry out rectification actions against superficial and obvious violations of the spirit of the central government's eight regulations, mainly in 2013 and 2014;

  In the second stage, the main focus is to rectify chronic diseases in the officialdom, political life, and bad styles that have been criticized by the common people. Work is carried out on issues that the common people have strongly reflected, mainly from 2015 to 2017;

  The third stage is to rectify formalism and bureaucracy.

The spirit of implementing the eight central regulations has dig deeper and moved a step forward. From emphasizing clean governance to continuously strengthening diligent governance, from fragmentation problem rectification to overall system reshaping, the main focus is on the 19th CPC National Congress. after that.

  According to Song Wei, director of the Center for Integrity Research of University of Science and Technology Beijing, in the past eight years, the process of implementing the spirit of the eight central regulations has shown two typical characteristics: one is to unremittingly consolidate the results of the eight central regulations, Lax; second, there are new tricks every year, constantly releasing new signals.

  "The past 8 years has been a process in which the eight regulations of the central government have been continuously scientific and precise, and they are constantly solving emerging problems." In Song Wei's view, the eight regulations of the central government have played an important role in the work style construction of the Chinese Communist Party. The significance of the milestone has changed some of the chronic diseases that have existed in style construction since the reform and opening up.

  "It has become an established fact that the eight central regulations have changed China, and this is also proven after 8 years of practice. The first is to change the way of thinking of party members and leading cadres, making the thinking mode and state of mind of party members and leading cadres and the requirements of the entire reform It is more consistent and truly puts executive entrepreneurship in the first place. The second is to change the behavior mode of party members and leading cadres, so that everyone advocates the value of integrity, and regards integrity and self-discipline as the bottom line of behavior. More importantly, it changes the officialdom ecology. Breaking the unspoken rules of officialdom, from individual behavior to overall ecology, from bit by bit to becoming commonplace, precisely reflects the effectiveness of the eight central regulations." Zhuang Deshui said.

  It is precisely because of this that the National Bureau of Statistics conducted a public opinion telephone survey in November 2019 that 98.3% of the respondents affirmed the overall effectiveness of the Party Central Committee’s leadership in implementing the eight central regulations and the spirit of their implementation rules, and 97.3% were very positive about the party’s conduct. , Satisfied with the improvement of political and social climate.

  Bad styles become more invisible

  The hidden dangers of rebound resurgence cannot be ignored

  Struggling against the current, support it hard, and retreat Qianhiro with ease.

  This year, on the eve of May Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and National Day, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission have exposed 20 typical problems that violated the eight central regulations.

  According to statistics, as of June 24, the website of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in the first half of this year reported and exposed 355 typical cases of the "Four Winds", including 295 cases involving hedonism and luxury.

  Judging from the 295 typical cases reported, the problems of hedonism and extravagance that occurred after the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China accounted for 68.9%. This shows that some cadres’ privilege ideas have not been eradicated, and they still violate discipline under high pressure.

The reported case shows that the problem of illegal eating and drinking is stubborn and repetitive, and we will not relax in the rigorous investigation of hedonic luxury and rectification of illegal eating and drinking.

  In order to evade supervision, some old problems were changed and refurbished.

Taking illegally equipped and used buses as an example, after the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, among the mental problems that violated the eight central regulations, the problem of illegally equipped and used buses dropped from 9087 in 2017 to 7,666 in 2019. "Unhealthy trends" have been effectively contained, but the problems of invisible mutations and facelifts have become prominent.

Judging from the notified cases, 21 of the 36 cases involving illegally equipped and used public vehicles are private vehicles.

Some private cars are charged with public fuel, some are privately billed to the public, and some are rented to the public.

  Peng Xinlin, director of the International Anti-Corruption Education and Research Center of Beijing Normal University, believes that, compared with traditional methods of corruption, "unhealthy trends in clubs," "waste on the tip of the tongue," and "corruption on wheels" cannibalize officials quietly. It seriously affects the party’s work style and political style, spoils the social ethos, and leads to the spread of bureaucracy, hedonism, and other bad habits. It runs counter to the anti-"four winds" regulations. It directly damages the prestige and image of the party and the government and corrupts the party. The ranks of political officials were again detested by the masses.

  "From the corruption cases investigated and dealt with in recent years, the corruption and degeneration of many corrupt elements has a process from quantitative change to qualitative change, often starting from the'four winds' problem or small corruption and small corruption, and gradually progressing to the state of corruption and degradation. It’s not uncommon to see such an example when he relaxed his vigilance in the face of Xiao En Xiaohui, and lost his personality in Qingge Manwu.” Peng Xinlin analyzed, therefore, for the "four winds" problem and slight corruption, it is necessary to insist on showing up. Fighting, fighting early, to prevent small corruption from turning into big corruption, and small corruption from turning into big corruption. We must never moderately tolerate the problem of small corruption or even "open the net". This is easy to nurture carbuncle problems and will inevitably lead to major problems. .

  Xin Ming, a professor at the Central Party School (National School of Administration), also said that in the eight years since the eight regulations of the Central Committee were promulgated, the issue of "dare" for party members and cadres has been fundamentally resolved and "do not want to". "Unwilling" has increasingly become the inner consciousness of the majority of party members and cadres.

However, the problem of invisible mutation of bad style still occurs from time to time, and the hidden danger and pressure of rebound resurgence also exist objectively.

  For example, judging from the violation of discipline and law by the leading cadres investigated and dealt with, some of them were ineffective in implementing the major decisions of the Party Central Committee at the time of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. Don’t act indiscriminately, but use this as an excuse to simply do nothing. It is better known as “obeying the rules”. This is not just a question of lazy behavior. I am afraid that the “four consciousnesses” must be used to counteract the situation; In the process, there was a slack mentality in a few places.

  Investigating the reason, Song Wei believes that this is closely related to the complexity and stubbornness of the "Four Winds" problem. "Many characteristics of the "Four Winds" problem have been different from the original. Formalism and bureaucracy have become prominent problems."

  "Hedonism and luxury have shifted from the surface to the underground. This is a very obvious change. Another is that the carrier is constantly changing. For example, the form of gift giving is becoming more and more virtual and concealed, and the form of eating and drinking is becoming more and more concealed. The same is true for formalism and bureaucracy, so there are some new challenges and difficulties in determining whether a problem is formalism or bureaucracy.” Song Wei said.

  "The problem of the'four winds' is still rooted, especially the problems of public funds, eating and drinking, etc., and there are frequent backlashes. The construction of style is to start with the problems that these cadres and masses hate, and focus on small things and do little things. Good, to make good style a new normal." Peng Xinlin said.

  To this end, Peng Xinlin put forward four suggestions:

  The first is to enforce strict disciplines. For typical issues, strengthen notifications and deterrence warnings to create an atmosphere of "dare".

  The second is that party members and cadres strengthen moral self-discipline and always tighten the string of party discipline and state laws, abandon the idea of ​​privilege, resist bureaucracy and other unhealthy trends, stick to the bottom line, build a strong line of defense, and ensure that they do not touch high-tension lines or step into minefields.

  The third is to improve the system.

For example, in the fight against the "Four Winds", many places have carried out useful explorations, and many effective practical measures have emerged. These useful explorations can be stipulated in the form of rules and regulations, making them an important content of party regulations and national laws.

  The fourth is to strengthen supervision.

The channels for mass supervision, public opinion supervision, and social supervision should be unblocked, and people’s satisfaction should be taken as the standard for the masses to test.

At the same time, we should combine internal party supervision with special agency supervision and other functional supervision, so that wherever the power of cadres is exercised, supervision will be tracked.

  Focus on managing privilege issues

  Constantly focus on strengthening the work style

  After 8 years of exploration, 8 years of persistence, and 8 years of accumulation, the achievements are hard-won and need to be consolidated and expanded.

The 8th anniversary is a re-mobilization to set sail and set sail.

  “The next stage is to consolidate and implement the results of the eight regulations of the central government. To promote the implementation of the eight regulations of the central government, we must focus on governance and elimination of privilege issues and style issues.” Zhuang Deshui said, “violating the eight regulations Behavior, in the final analysis, is a privileged behavior. The reason why some party members and leading cadres want to participate or want to eat and drink public funds, or want to use public funds for private use, is actually a kind of privileged thinking and style. In essence, individual party members and leading cadres do not Position yourself right, without facing up to the power you hold."

  In Zhuang Deshui's view, the challenge to implement the eight central regulations in the next stage is no longer a superficial violation of the eight central regulations, but formalism, bureaucracy and the privileges behind it.

  "Whether the spirit of the eight central regulations can be effectively implemented is not only a question related to our country’s political credibility, but also a matter of the effectiveness of governance. On the surface, the spirit of implementing the eight central regulations and resolute opposition to the four 'Wind', to refrain from formalism and bureaucracy is the proper meaning of the subject; but from a macro perspective, the eight central regulations are a touchstone for governing the country," said Zhuang Deshui.

  In Zhuang Deshui's view, the next stage is to focus on making new breakthroughs in not daring to be corrupt or not wanting to be corrupt. Not being corrupt involves system construction, and not wanting to corrupt involves the inner consciousness of party members and leading cadres.

From the perspective of the entire anti-corruption law, not wanting to be corrupt should be the highest state, not daring to corrupt is just the initial goal, and not being corrupt is an effective guarantee.

  "The key is to use perseverance, determination and perseverance to continue to deepen the construction of the style, and work hard on the word'chang' and long. The construction of the style is a long-term, arduous and complex task that requires frequent Grasping for a long time. The current situation in China’s anti-corruption struggle is still severe and complex. Some of the institutional malpractices, institutional barriers and system loopholes that breed corruption have not been effectively eliminated, and some deep-seated problems still need to be resolved. The existence of these phenomena and problems is fundamentally Decided to solve the problem of style construction, we must persevere and constantly grasp it." Peng Xinlin said.

  Peng Xinlin pointed out that the construction of work style should also highlight the key points, and the outstanding issues that the masses have strongly reflected should be the top priority.

At the grassroots level, we must pay particular attention to rectifying and investigating unhealthy practices and corruption that infringe on the interests of the masses, such as seizure and plunder, embezzlement and other prominent issues; such as false claims in the poverty alleviation field, withholding private points, and profligacy and waste; such as exceeding standards Scope raises funds from the masses, apportions expenses, deprives the masses of property, and defaults on the outstanding problems of the masses; serious problems such as land expropriation and pillage, embezzlement, embezzlement and misappropriation; And other serious problems.

  Song Wei gave three points of focus: first, further in-depth research and analysis, whether there are still some problems in the implementation of the eight central regulations, and where are the bottlenecks; second, further supplementing and improving the supporting system of the eight central regulations , So that every regulation can find sufficient support; the third is to form a more powerful pressure transmission, at the grassroots level, the "four winds" can also be fundamentally changed.
