China News Agency reporter Zhang Weiran and Zhang Su
The Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection was held in Beijing from January 22 to 24. The communiqué adopted at the meeting on the 24th "set the focus" for this year's anti-corruption work.
In an interview with a reporter from China News Agency, the integrity scholars here stated that this is a communiqué deploying party style and clean government construction and anti-corruption work from the perspective of “modernization”. It not only emphasizes the “multi-line advancement” of anti-corruption, but also “surges” on difficult problems. Pay attention to promote the standardization and legalization of anti-corruption and upholding integrity from the level of "establishing rules and regulations."
In the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", the communiqué mentioned "modernization" seven times before and after, and clearly required "to better adapt to the needs of modernization, and to better integrate the supervision system into the national governance system. Greater governance effectiveness".
Why does this plenary session highlight the "modernization" perspective?
Song Wei, director of the Center for Integrity Research of the University of Science and Technology Beijing, believes that the plenary session requires the standard of "modernization" to standardize the task of anti-corruption, and is intended to promote discipline inspection and supervision to better play a supervisory role for national development, strengthen discipline inspection and supervision, and promote the party And the construction of the national supervision system are both important components of the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities.
"The current discipline inspection and supervision system has some aspects that cannot be coordinated with the modernization goal. By better rationalizing the system and mechanism, the governance efficiency will be better released." Song Wei said.
When deploying this year’s work, the communiqué mentioned five "more"-more prominent political supervision, more prominent themes of high-quality development, more prominent rectification of corruption and work style issues around the masses, more prominent performance of supervision and governance efficiency, more emphasis on strict management and love Combination, incentives and constraints are equally important.
"The five'mores' embodies the CCP’s characteristics of starting from political construction and serious political discipline. It also captures the two key points of anti-corruption struggle and style building, and it also demonstrates the CCP’s commitment to comprehensively and strictly governing the party. Efforts to standardize and institutionalize." said Guo Yong, director of the Center for Integrity and Governance Research of Tsinghua University.
Specifically, when deploying this year’s anti-corruption tasks, from deepening the anti-corruption work in the financial sector to continuing to punish corruption in state-owned enterprises, from focusing on areas and links with strong policy support, investment-intensive, and resource-intensive resources, to resolutely investigating and punishing infrastructure construction and projects. Corruption issues in the areas of approval, reform of state-owned enterprises, public resource transactions, scientific research management, etc., were clarified in the communiqué.
Experts believe that anti-corruption deployment is not only "multi-line progress", but also "swords" to difficult problems.
For example, the communiqué proposed to focus on investigating corruption cases where political and economic issues are intertwined.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, many major cases investigated and handled by the CCP and important clues found during inspections indicate that the interweaving of political and economic issues is becoming one of the important trends of corruption.
"In a series of cases such as the case of illegally building villas in Qinling, it is not difficult to see that corruption issues not only involve economic issues, but also political issues behind it. Therefore, in the process of investigating corruption cases, we focus on investigating those who violate political discipline and political rules. In particular, cases that did not close or converge after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China are the focus of anti-corruption," said Guo Yong.
For another example, the communiqué emphasized intensifying the punishment of corruption in the political and legal system.
Since last year, there have been Sun Lijun, member of the Party Committee and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Public Security, Gong Daoan, Deputy Mayor of Shanghai and Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Wang Like, Member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and Deng Deng, former Vice Mayor of Chongqing and former Director of the Public Security Bureau. Many senior officials at the provincial and ministerial level including Hui Lin fell.
The plenary session has deployed additional political and legal systems to combat corruption, and the trend of uprightness and discipline is obvious.
Song Wei pointed out that compared with corruption in other fields, corruption cases in the political and legal system have caused particularly serious damage to social fairness and justice.
At present, it is possible that not only the stock in this field is unclear, but there are new increments.
"The corruption of the political and legal system is a good impetus for governance in other fields."
Guo Yong believes that while continuing the anti-corruption momentum, how to strengthen the construction of the political and legal system and change the work style of the political and legal system is also expected to become the focus of this year's work.
In addition, the construction of the anti-corruption system will "speed up again" this year.
Focusing on the reform of the discipline inspection and supervision system, the plenary session proposed to study and formulate the working regulations of the CPC Disciplinary Inspection Committee, and to investigate and deal with party members and public officials who are suspected of violating discipline and law.
Song Wei believes that the above-mentioned "regulations" and "methods" have been included in the party's rule-making schedule, which is intended to ensure that the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervisory Committee not only correctly performs its own powers in the process of overseeing discipline, accountability and review and investigation, but also ensures that power is effectively restricted. Do not exceed the boundary.
Chen Zhigang, a researcher at the Institute of Marxism of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, believes that “ironing requires one's own hard work” has always been a hard constraint on itself by discipline inspection and supervision agencies.
The "Regulations" and "Measures" are conducive to the proceduralization, institutionalization, and standardization of the work of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, indicating that the CCP will have stricter requirements and strict supervision on "iron strikers".
