China News Service, Beijing, September 8th (Reporter Zhang Su) As the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission and other six ministries and commissions issued the "Opinions on Further Promoting the Joint Inspection of Bribery and Bribery" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions"), Chinese officials have increased the deployment of bribery and bribery. Check together.
Adhering to the policy orientation of allowing bribes and bribers to pay the same price, the government once again clarified the clear stance of punishing corruption. In the opinion of the interviewed scholars, this will greatly deter corrupt elements and help promote the realization of both the symptoms and root causes of corruption.
"Further advancement of bribery and bribery investigations is a requirement to promote a comprehensive and strict governance of the party to in-depth development. It embodies the dialectical method of treating both symptoms and root causes and systematic governance. It is a manifestation of zero tolerance, full coverage, and no restricted areas in the anti-corruption struggle." China Chen Zhigang, a researcher at the Institute of Marxism of the Academy of Social Sciences, said in an interview with a reporter from China News Agency on the 8th.
Peng Xinlin, director of the International Anti-Corruption Education and Research Center of Beijing Normal University, also believes that compared with previous documents, the "Opinions" is issued with a higher standard and level, which releases unswervingly deepening the anti-corruption struggle, and attaches great importance to the governance of the source of bribery crimes and both the symptoms and root causes. Strong signal.
In fact, the insistence on investigating bribery and bribery has been included in the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
The Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has made arrangements for this on many occasions, and discipline inspection and supervision agencies at all levels have also increased their efforts to investigate and deal with bribery.
In August of this year, the Yunnan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision used a warning education film to expose the details of Kunming Kaier Technology Co., Ltd. through the "encirclement hunting" of party members, cadres and public officials for grabbing improper benefits and ultimately being punished.
In this case, 12 people were filed for review and investigation and lien measures were taken.
"The current fight against corrosion and anti-corrosion is still severe and complex. Bribery is the main source of bribery crimes. Bribery is not investigated and bribery is not stopped. Therefore, we must insist on taking bribes and bribery together to investigate." "Opinions" said when answering a question.
In recent years, a number of "lost horses" officials have also been revealed to be suspected of bribery crimes, including Lu Enguang, former member of the Party Leadership Group and Director of the Political Department of the Ministry of Justice, Fang Fenghui, former member of the Central Military Commission and former Chief of Staff of the Joint Staff of the Military Commission, and former member of the Standing Committee of the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee. , Su Hongzhang, former secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and others.
The "Opinions" issued this time clarified the five key points for investigating and punishing bribery. In addition to "party members and state officials who bribes", there are also "focus on investigating and punishing multiple bribes, huge bribes, and bribery to many people, especially the tenth party's bribery. After the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, those who did not converge and did not stop” “bribery in the fields of organization of personnel, discipline, law enforcement, ecological and environmental protection, finance, safety production, food and medicine, disaster relief, pension and social security, education and medical care, etc.” etc.
The person in charge of the Case Supervision and Management Office of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection also pointed out that the investigation of bribery and bribery together does not mean the same treatment.
Disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies should consider not only the amount, frequency, and field of bribery, but also the subjective viciousness of the briber, the harmful consequences, the attitude of acknowledging mistakes and regrets, refunding compensation, and other factors, and making accurate proposals for handling. opinion.
Peng Xinlin said that highlighting the focus of bribery investigation and handling and achieving precise force will inevitably greatly improve the accuracy and effectiveness of bribery governance.
He noted that the "Opinions" emphasized that "we must not only severely punish bribery, but also fully protect the legal personal and property rights of the persons involved and the enterprise, and ensure the legal operation of the enterprise."
"It is necessary to get rid of the'rats' that give bribes, but also to protect the'yupan' of the enterprises." He said that this will prevent discipline and law enforcement from having a negative impact on the production and operation of private enterprises and escort economic and social development.
In Chen Zhigang's view, insisting on taking bribes and bribery investigations together is an effective way to cut off the chain of interests between "encircling hunting" and being willing to be "encircled hunting". After the "Opinions" is issued, the key is to pay close attention to implementation, carefulness and strict implementation.
One of the measures specified in the "Opinions" is to organize research on issues such as market access and qualification restrictions for bribers, and to explore the implementation of a "blacklist" system for bribers.
Some places have taken the lead in establishing a "blacklist" of bribers.
According to public reports, relevant departments in Xi’an have established a database of bribers, and included the “hunting” leading cadres and 76 people who committed bribery into the “blacklist”; the relevant departments in Hunan also included those who “obtained engineering projects by bribery” as “blacklists”. "Blacklist" will increase the punishment for untrustworthy and illegal acts.
It is reported that the National Supervisory Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is establishing a "blacklist" system for bribers, and is exploring and practicing joint punishment of bribers by discipline inspection and supervision agencies, people's congress agencies, CPPCC agencies, organizational personnel departments, united front departments, and law enforcement agencies.
Peng Xinlin said that a clear exploration of the implementation of a "blacklist" system for bribers is expected to increase the cost and price of bribery, and will increase the joint force in the management of bribery.
The interviewed scholars stated that while vigorously promoting the integration of the "blacklist" with market access, loans, credit rating and other systems, it is also necessary to guide companies to establish a compliance system and set up a "firewall" for corporate bribery on the "blacklist". In addition, big data should be used to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the characteristics of key industries and links of bribery to provide decision-making support for corruption prevention.
