Rectify invisible variation problems such as express delivery, eating and drinking in hidden places, and traveling with public funds in disguise

  Reveal the "invisibility cloak" of luxury and pleasure

  The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made arrangements for adhering to a strict tone and strengthening positive conduct and discipline.

The General Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection recently issued the "Opinions on Implementing the Deployment Requirements of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Perseveringly Implementing the Spirit of the Eight Central Regulations and Deepening the Work of Correcting the "Four Styles", emphasizing the continuous correction of hedonism and extravagance. Early detection and early correction of invisible variation problems such as gift giving, eating and drinking in hidden places, and traveling with public funds under the name of training and investigation.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has promoted the construction of style with the spirit of nailing nails, and continued to strengthen the embankment of the eight regulations of the Central Committee, providing a strong style guarantee for the great changes in the new era.

But we must also be soberly aware that the "four winds" problem remains, and under the high-pressure situation, there is a new trend of invisible mutations that change their appearance and sneak into the ground.

How to accurately discover, effectively investigate and deal with, and in-depth rectify the hedonic and extravagant problems of wearing "invisibility cloaks"?

The reporter conducted an interview.

  "Receive gifts in the air", "Secret a table meal", "Backdoor tour", under the high-pressure situation, some stubborn styles are refurbished, from bright to dark

  Recently, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission announced the summary of the national investigation and punishment of mental problems in violation of the eight central regulations in September 2022.

Statistics show that from January to September this year, 34,921 cases of hedonism and extravagance were investigated and dealt with nationwide. Among them, the top two cases were 13,380 and 7,197 cases of illegal collection and delivery of expensive specialties and gifts, and illegal eating and drinking.

This reflects that the discipline inspection and supervision agencies are unremittingly cracking down on the problem of luxury and pleasure, and it also reflects that the phenomenon of not restraining, not stopping, and not knowing how to stop is still relatively prominent.

  It is worth noting that under high-pressure punishment, the invisible variation of the problem of luxury and pleasure is highlighted.

It can be seen from the mental problems of violating the eight regulations of the central government notified by various places that some violations of regulations and disciplines have been refurbished and covered with invisible cloaks, moving from the "bright side" to the "hidden line".

  In terms of illegal collection and delivery of valuable specialty products and gift money, some of them use express logistics to "separately" receive and send gifts (electronic gift cards, delivery coupons).

For example, a cadre of the Management Committee of the former Miyun Economic Development Zone in Beijing received gifts such as liquor and fruit from the person in charge of a private real estate company within his jurisdiction during the festival.

  Others use the Internet financial platform "electronic red envelopes" to receive and send gifts.

For example, a cadre of the Anze County Medical Security Bureau in Linfen City, Shanxi Province provided assistance to others in handling the procedures for medical transfer and resettlement in other places, and received a total of 6,850 yuan in gift money through WeChat transfers several times.

  In terms of eating and drinking in violation of regulations, some manifest themselves as not eating public funds, eating and drinking from the boss, hiding in hidden places to eat and drink, etc.

For example, a city-level cadre in Hunan Province has repeatedly accepted banquets from private business owners in the place where he works in violation of regulations, and went to a private club located in a high-end residential area to eat high-end dishes and drink high-end red wine.

The clubhouse is luxuriously decorated, with only one dining table dedicated to internal reception, and the per capita consumption ranges from 2,000 to 4,000 yuan each time.

  The problem of "eating official letters" is also more prominent, mainly manifested in the use of blank official letters, false official letters, eating and drinking with public funds, etc.

For example, a hospital in Dingnan County, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province violated the official reception letter system. There were 6 official receptions with "reception with 2 meals", involving 7,300 yuan in expenses, and 4,400 yuan in reimbursement of reception meals with blank official letters 3 times.

  In addition, in terms of public-funded tourism, there have been "backdoor tours" under clever names, "detour tours" by changing itineraries, and "ride-hiking tours" by increasing the number of people; As well as the distribution through the "curve" of enterprises, social organizations, etc...

  What is "changed" is the method, and what is "hidden" is the purpose.

Looking at the above-mentioned invisible variation phenomenon, whether it is making a fuss about the object, the object of paying the bill is shifting from public funds to private business owners, from the current level to subordinates and interested parties, or playing tricks on the means, by using logistics and express delivery, changing the physical object to pick up the goods Coupons or electronic codes to receive and give gifts, or transfer in places, and hide in private clubs, internal canteens, farmhouses and other hidden places to eat, drink and have fun, will not change the nature of violations of regulations and disciplines.

This not only reflects that there is less and less room for unhealthy trends to occur, but also shows that the problem of work style is repetitive and stubborn. If there is a slight slack, it may rebound and make a comeback.

  "Wearing invisibility cloaks" and "playing around the edges" induce luck, and "boiling frogs in warm water" leads to the wind and rot, sliding into the abyss

  "At that time, I felt that I was a 'porter' in a supermarket, receiving cigarettes and alcohol and then asking someone to deal with cash." "I am used to receiving small favors from clients. There is no problem if you offer it, but if you don’t accept it, you will not give the boss face.”

  Not long ago, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervision Commission published a case of serious violations of discipline and law by Yin, a former member of the party group of the Standing Committee of the People's Congress of Huaiyin District, Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province, and former director of the Environmental Resources Urban and Rural Construction Working Committee.

In Yin's confession, he showed his mental journey from "breaking the heart" to "breaking the discipline" and then "breaking the law".

  A number of disciplinary inspection and supervision cadres interviewed said that compared with the blatant luxury of pleasure under the noses of the masses, the problems related to stealth mutation are more likely to be induced because of the secrecy of the behavior and even the seemingly legal deception. The fluke mentality of the parties concerned, thus losing the line of defense of integrity and self-discipline.

  Some believe that the means are concealed and the "skills" are brilliant, so they will not be discovered and investigated.

As mentioned above, a cadre of the former Miyun Economic Development Zone Management Committee in Beijing has reached a tacit agreement with the related boss over the years, "Whatever you need, communicate in advance, and then send it." The gift is often delivered by express delivery.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Sixth Supervision and Inspection Office of the Beijing Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, the fruit express received by the cadre did not show any problems from the appearance. The delivery address was a fruit market, and the sender was also a fruit vendor. It's hard to think of it as a gift from someone else.

  Some have played a "side-by-side ball" because of related issues, resulting in blurring the boundaries of discipline and law and losing their defensive mentality.

For example, individual party members and cadres of the Xunliao Management Committee in Huidong County, Huizhou City, Guangdong Province were invited by a real estate company to participate in a party held by the real estate company. During the event, they exchanged cash "red envelopes" ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 yuan with the coupons they received on the spot.

"Some cadres do not have a strong sense of discipline and law. They think that they are invited to the past. As an audience, it is normal to draw a prize to cash in. They did not expect that they would be 'recruited' and lead to violations of regulations and discipline." The relevant person in charge of the Huidong County Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision said. .

  "Behind some invisible mutation problems, there is actually a 'hunting' in the style of boiled frogs in warm water." Yang Danxuan, a cadre of the Disciplinary Inspection Department of Yunnan Normal University, told reporters. Even more, they were sent to the collection point without saying hello, resulting in a fait accompli.

If party members and cadres are not vigilant enough, or "reluctantly" accept, or "half push and half" accept, over time, small problems will become big problems, and "small pipes" will become "big landslides."

  The solicitation and corruption are gradual, the collection of money and gifts is from small to large, and the appetite of corruption is hard to satisfy... A large number of cases show that unhealthy trends and corruption are mutually external and have the same root, and the deterioration of leading cadres often begins with eating, drinking and having fun. Extravagance and pleasure are easy Give birth to power-for-money transactions and benefit transfers.

We must insist on strengthening positive conduct and eliminating discipline with a strict tone, focus on and continue to grasp the invisible mutation problem, and take effective measures to resolutely curb it.

  Integrate online and offline supervision methods, promote the coordination of various supervisions, and strive to eliminate the "difficult to find" problem of invisible mutations

  Recently, the Disciplinary Commission of Yuan'an County, Yichang City, Hubei Province sent Wang Yuan, the leader of the first discipline inspection and supervision team, to lead a team to a local specialty store in the urban area to learn about the situation from the person in charge of the store.

  "Before and after 'Double Eleven', we put the hidden variation issues such as 'receiving gifts from the air' through express logistics as the focus of supervision, and sent targeted screening to party and government agencies through open and unannounced visits, face-to-face verification, and big data comparison. , Suspicious express logistics information of state-owned enterprises.” Wang Yuan said.

  The "four winds" issue has changed its face and sneaked into the ground, testing the ability of discipline inspection and supervision agencies to detect problems in a timely manner and the level of precise discipline and law enforcement.

In the face of the "blindfold method" of concealed subjects, methods, places, and sources of funds, it is difficult to find problems only by relying on traditional supervision and inspection methods.

  To deal with the problem of invisible variation, the supervision method should be optimized and upgraded.

The reporter noticed that compared with the past, there have been new changes in the supervision and inspection of the "four winds" issues in many places: forming a joint force with industry authorities, using big data, informatization and other means, extending from the "front desk" such as supermarkets and hotels Go to "Background" and "Cloud".

  Wang Yuan introduced that since the beginning of this year, Yuan'an County Commission for Disciplinary Inspection has joined forces with the county's transportation, market supervision, development and reform, science and technology, economic and information departments to establish a joint prevention and joint investigation mechanism to screen "multiple people mailing express mail to a certain party member and cadre" and "one person" Sending express mail to many party members and cadres” and other suspicious situations, compared more than 18,000 pieces of data information.

At the same time, more than 5,000 "QR codes" for supervision and reporting have been widely posted in the express delivery and receiving points of the county, and the communication rooms of government agencies, enterprises and institutions, to build an all-round, full-time supervision and reporting system.

  In the field of rectifying illegal eating and drinking, the Xinyu Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of Jiangxi Province insists on accurately discovering problems to break the unhealthy situation of drinking and dining, making good use of the early warning information of the "three public" funding network supervision platform, and monitoring the city's "three public" consumption trends in real time. Since this year, it has sorted out official affairs There were 16 clues to problems such as excessive reception expenses and food waste, all of which have been transferred to supervision according to the process.

At present, the city's official reception amount has decreased by 33.6% compared with the same period last year.

  In order to standardize the management of official vehicles, the Commission for Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision of Wucheng District, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, and the District Office Affairs Service Center formed a supervision team to use the public vehicle management platform and traffic police monitoring system to carry out special supervision on the use of official vehicles in the district. Carry out analysis and judgment on suspected problems such as "running empty cars" and "dispatch cars indiscriminately" that have been screened out, and check them one by one in combination with on-site visits and checking of transaction vouchers.

At present, a total of 37 clues to the problem have been found, 2 units have the problem of "private car public maintenance", and 5 supervision proposals have been issued.

  "'Big data + big feet', 'online' and 'offline' supervision methods are integrated and exerted force." The interviewed disciplinary inspection and supervision cadres said that they will work hard to eliminate the "difficult to find" problems. On the one hand, they must strengthen cooperation with functional departments. Promote the coordination of various types of supervision, weave a dense and full-coverage supervision network, and at the same time combine the characteristics of invisible variation laws, make good use of big data informatization methods, carry out data comparison, intensive research and judgment, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of problem discovery.

  Investigate, deal with, rectify and manage in the same direction, and integrate the concept of "three non-corruption" into the whole process of rectifying "four winds"

  In the third batch of guiding cases on discipline enforcement and law enforcement released by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Committee, there is a reimbursement case using a "blank official letter".

The facts of the case show that Yao, the secretary of the General Party Branch of the Comprehensive Law Enforcement Detachment of the Cultural Market in City B, Province A, and others participated in the super-standard official reception organized by the detachment five times. "Blank official letter", fictitious reception items, and will reimburse 25,590 yuan in excess of the standard in the unit.

  "Eating official letters" is a new manifestation of the invisible variation of illegal eating and drinking.

In fact, many party discipline laws and regulations have drawn clear "hard levers" for the official letter system and the official reception management system.

For example, the "Regulations of Party and Government Organs on Enforcing Economy and Opposing Waste" clearly stipulates that official activities without official letters will not be accepted.

The "Regulations on the Management of Domestic Official Reception of Party and Government Organs" clearly requires that the reception unit can arrange a working meal once due to work needs, and strictly control the number of accompanying meals; the receipt of reimbursement for reception expenses should include financial bills, official letters from sending units, and reception lists.

  According to the person in charge of the Party Style and Political Style Supervision Office and the Case Trial Office of the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, from the perspective of practice, some units and party members and cadres have not strictly implemented the system of official letters, and some have not provided official letters when they work in other units but require Reception by the other party; some use the same official letter of the same visiting unit to receive multiple meals, or transfer the same reception object to a unit that has no relevant official activities for reception in turn; some use blank official letters, false official letters, etc. to cover up illegal reception and no real official activities The problem of eating and drinking with public funds.

  "'Eating official letters' revealed that there are still blind spots in supervision and management loopholes in the official reception work. The relevant supporting systems are not refined enough, and the system implementation is not strict enough, leaving an opportunity for invisible variation reception." Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Research on Integrity in China Sun Dawei, deputy secretary-general of the center, said.

  After sorting out relevant cases, it is found that the lack of main body responsibility and weak implementation of the system are the important reasons for the frequent occurrence of the invisible variation "four winds".

Disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies in various places have integrated the concept, thinking and method of promoting the "three non-corruption" throughout the entire process of rectifying the "four winds", insisting on investigation and punishment, system constraints, and ideological education. .

  In response to the hidden variation of official car rentals such as over-numbered and over-standard rentals and illegal rental of private cars, the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of Xuyi County, Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province promptly issued disciplinary inspection and supervision recommendations to urge the units involved to strictly implement the main responsibility and strengthen the management of official vehicles; The competent departments and related units, towns and streets have introduced 12 systems to prevent "unhealthy trends on the wheels" from the source.

After the special rectification, the mileage of official vehicles in the county decreased by 10% year-on-year, and the expenditure on vehicle operation decreased by 12% year-on-year.

  The Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of Xinchang County, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, combined with the cadres of the "two committees" of a village to investigate the issue of public-funded tourism in the name of new rural construction, carried out special supervision and inspection in the county, formulated regulations on the study and inspection activities of rural party members and cadres, and clarified Baocun Leaders, village cadres, secretary of the village party organization, director of the village supervision committee and other four parties are responsible for improving the schematic diagram of the reimbursement process and related supporting forms, and promoting the further standardization and transparency of village-level expenditures.

  Mass supervision is also a sharp weapon to correct the "four winds".

Many places have established and improved the party style and government style observer system to ensure that invisible mutation problems are discovered in a timely manner and effectively dealt with.

The Commission for Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision of Wuding County, Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province selected 357 observers from the three levels of county, township, and village to monitor the signs, tendencies, and concealment of the "four winds" at each level and point.

Since the beginning of this year, a total of 26 clues to the "four winds" have been investigated and dealt with, and 12 people have been given party discipline and government sanctions.
