(Year-end special article) "Strictness" takes the lead and pushes it deeper, looking at China's anti-corruption work in 2022

　　China News Agency, Beijing, December 27th (Zhang Su, Xie Yanbing) Near the end of the year, China's high-pressure anti-corruption situation continues unabated.

Shen Deyong, former member of the Standing Committee of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and former director of the Social and Legal Affairs Committee, was prosecuted for allegedly accepting bribes. Xiao Yaqing, former secretary of the party group and minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, was "handled off a cliff." Officials have disclosed the corruption of many fallen officials in recent days The details... A series of initiatives have attracted attention.

　　Heavy blows against corruption and non-stop actions are also the epitome of China's anti-corruption work throughout the year.

Looking at the anti-corruption work in 2022, experts believe that there are two characteristics: on the one hand, adhere to the main tone of strictness and "do not let up and stop" to push the anti-corruption struggle in depth; on the other hand, anchor key areas and highlight The key point is to continue to strengthen the system to combat corruption.

Combating corruption with a zero-tolerance attitude

　　“The strong force to oppose and punish corruption is always there,” the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China made this statement when deploying this year’s work.

According to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervision Commission, as of now, 32 central management cadres have been investigated and investigated this year.

Among them, Zhang Yongze, former member of the party group and vice chairman of the Tibet Autonomous Region Government, is the first provincial and ministerial-level official to be investigated this year, and he is also the "Tiger" in Tibet since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

　　"This year's anti-corruption work is the same as before. There are no restricted areas, full coverage, and zero tolerance. Where there is corruption, there must be anti-corruption. Where there is corruption, there must be punishment. When it is discovered, it is investigated and dealt with together. It has repeatedly released the determination to be strict and strict to the end." The Central Party School ( National School of Administration) Professor Zhu Lijia said.

　　In 2022, 35 central management cadres have been punished by the party discipline and government affairs, including Fu Zhenghua, former deputy director of the Social and Legal Affairs Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and Liu Yanping, former head of the Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Committee at the Ministry of State Security.

Both were accused of joining Sun Lijun's political group, and several members of this political group have been tried successively.

　　"The Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection proposed 'to show no mercy to those who engage in political gangs, cliques, and interest groups within the party. The investigation and handling of a number of cases in areas where corruption is prone to occur can be said to be focused, and promote overall development from point to area." said Zhuang Deshui, deputy director of the Research Center for Clean Government Construction at Peking University.

　　Looking back on the whole year, from notifying four "tigers" that they were "double-opened" in one day, to the "intensive anti-corruption week" of "fighting tigers", "swatting flies" and "hunting foxes"; Until the "political and legal storm" does not stop, the government insists on heavy containment, strong pressure, and long-term deterrence, and continuously deepens anti-corruption work in key areas, key groups, and key links. More effective stock removal."

Tighten the "cage" of the system

　　The "Regulations for the Implementation of the Supervision Law of the People's Republic of China" for the first time stipulated in the form of laws and regulations that "one must not, cannot, and does not want to be corrupted." This year, this expression was included in the Constitution of the Communist Party of China.

Some commentators said that this is to use the authority and seriousness of the party's fundamental law to provide a fundamental basis for resolutely winning the protracted battle against corruption.

　　The construction of anti-corruption laws and regulations is systematically integrated, coordinated and efficient, which is also reflected in the continuous reinforcement of the embankment of the eight central regulations.

Shortly after the end of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, high-level officials of the Communist Party of China reviewed the "Detailed Implementation Rules for the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to Implement the Eight Central Regulations", sending out a signal to strengthen the construction of work style.

　　"From the official implementation of the Ombudsman Law to the promulgation of the "Working Rules for Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Organs Stationed Institutions", etc., the institutional 'cage' of power exercise restriction and supervision has been continuously tightened, which has also promoted the transformation of institutional advantages into governance effectiveness." Zhuang Deshui said.

　　Peng Xinlin, a professor at the Law School of Beijing Normal University, said that by continuously deepening the reform of the discipline inspection and supervision system and continuously improving the party and state supervision system, a comprehensive coverage, normal and long-term supervision force will be formed.

Resolutely promote international cooperation in anti-corruption

　　Corruption is a common problem faced by all countries in the world. China has continued to strengthen international cooperation in anti-corruption and the pursuit of fugitives and stolen goods, with remarkable results.

This year, Qu Jianling, a "red notice officer" who had fled abroad for 27 years, was arrested and repatriated to China. Xiao Xiudi, a suspect in a job crime who had been absconded for 29 years, returned to China and surrendered.

　　At the same time, as the rotating chair of the BRICS Anti-Corruption Working Group, China hosts activities such as the BRICS Seminar on "Anti-Corruption and Promoting Economic Development", contributing to global anti-corruption governance.

　　"We also actively set up anti-corruption topics at international or regional meetings." The China-Saudi Arabia Joint Statement released on Corruption Day included "combating all forms of transnational corruption crimes" and other content, which demonstrates China's firm will and determination to further promote anti-corruption cooperation with the international community.

　　According to the deployment of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China for the anti-corruption work in 2023, "the top priority will be given to those who have not restrained themselves and acted recklessly since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. "Focus on investigating and dealing with corruption cases where political and economic issues are intertwined", "deepen the rectification of corruption in power-centralized, capital-intensive, and resource-rich areas", etc.

　　According to the forecast of the interviewed scholars, the anti-corruption struggle is still severe and complicated, but as long as we remain sober and firm on the road, and always call out the anti-corruption charge, China will surely win this tough and protracted battle against corruption.
