The discipline inspection and supervision team stationed in the National Development and Reform Commission, together with the party group of the National Bureau of Statistics, has improved the management system for official business trips
The source corrects the chronic diseases of eating and drinking
The report of the 20th CPC National Congress stressed the need to persist in strengthening healthy practices and discipline with a strict keynote. The Second Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection pointed out that it is necessary to continue to deepen the implementation of the spirit of the eight central regulations and rectify the "four winds", "we must grasp the characteristics of regions, industries and stages, strengthen guidance and supervision from below, and grasp common and recurring problems to deepen rectification." Sum up the experience of the results of the construction of work style in the new era, transform the practical achievements of correcting the 'four winds' into system norms, and promote the improvement and implementation of the spirit of the eight central regulations. ”
The discipline inspection and supervision group of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission stationed in the National Development and Reform Commission, together with the party group of the National Bureau of Statistics, continued to strengthen the and dams stipulated by the eight central regulations, persevered in correcting the "four winds", promptly analyzed and judged the new situation and new manifestations of the "four winds" problem, and seriously investigated and dealt with spiritual problems that violated the eight central regulations. In view of the fact that the problem of illegal official reception and eating and drinking of public funds in the investigation team of the National Bureau of Statistics is prone to occur frequently, urge and promote the Party Group of the National Bureau of Statistics to formulate and issue the "Measures for the Management of Official Business Meals of the National Bureau of Statistics (Trial)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures for the Management of Business Meals"), to rectify the stubborn and stubborn diseases of illegal public funds eating and drinking in the investigation team system, and resolutely prevent rebound, invisible mutation, fatigue and war weariness.
Focus on the actual improvement of the system of illegal official reception and the problem of eating and drinking at public funds
At present, the investigation corps of the National Bureau of Statistics has set up investigation corps in 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, and about 1200,18000 city and county investigation teams have been set up in prefecture-level cities and some counties, forming a vertical management team with a scale of more than <>,<> people who independently perform statistical investigation and statistical supervision functions and independently report statistical survey data. In its work, the survey team system has frequent exchanges with the organs of the National Bureau of Statistics, the investigation teams at higher and lower levels, and the cross-regional fraternal investigation teams, and the official reception within the system accounts for the vast majority of the official reception of the investigation team at all levels.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has inspected the party group of the National Bureau of Statistics in two rounds, and both pointed out that problems such as illegal official reception and eating and drinking at public funds in the vertical management investigation team system are more prominent.
"We insist on taking the rectification of the 'four winds' problem as a key task. In response to prominent problems such as illegal official reception, illegal issuance of subsidies and subsidies by the investigation team of the National Bureau of Statistics, and unapproved statistical survey projects, since 2019, together with the Party Group of the National Bureau of Statistics, the special governance action of 'three clean-ups' has been carried out for four consecutive years, and a number of cases of violations of rules and disciplines have been seriously investigated and dealt with, and obvious results have been achieved in the construction of the systematic style of the investigation team, and problems such as over-standard reception and over-number of people accompanying meals have been effectively curbed. Relevant responsible comrades of the discipline inspection and supervision group stationed in the National Development and Reform Commission told reporters. However, at the same time, it has also been found that the hidden mutation problems such as using funds for illegal official receptions and eating and drinking of public funds through false expenditures have not been eradicated, and effective measures need to be taken urgently.
It is understood that judging from the situation of carrying out the "three clean-ups" for four consecutive years, the problems of illegal official receptions and the stock of eating and drinking of public funds have not yet been cleared. In the first three rounds of special governance, a total of tens of thousands of irregularities in official reception in the investigation team system since 2013 were identified, and all of them were dealt with in strict accordance with rules and disciplines and laws. During the fourth round of special governance in June 2022, each investigation team carried out a full-coverage inspection of the investigation team of its city and county, and more than 6,2900 irregularities were identified. "These situations reflect that the stock problem of the 'three clean-ups' has not yet been cleared to the bottom, and incremental problems still occur from time to time, and it is necessary to continue to exert efforts to consolidate and deepen the effect of special governance, so as to achieve that the warehouse is not cleared and not let go, and the troops are not collected without bottoming." Relevant responsible comrades of the discipline inspection and supervision group stationed in the National Development and Reform Commission said.
Judging from the investigation and handling of cases, the problem of criminals while treating them has occurred frequently. According to statistics, since 2019, 46 of the 25 Party members and cadres of the National Bureau of Statistics system investigated and dealt with by the discipline inspection and supervision team of the National Development and Reform Commission have problems with illegal official reception and eating and drinking of public funds, accounting for 54.3%. In particular, the six cases of false expenditure used for official reception and eating and drinking of public funds in the past two years were all investigated and dealt with, all of which occurred during the special management period, indicating that there are still cadres who act boldly and violate discipline.
Judging from the recipients of illegal official reception, there are mostly leading cadres of organs at higher levels. The investigation corps received more cadres from state bureau organs and fraternal units, and the city and county investigation teams received more cadres from the investigation corps. It involves not only business work, but also special work such as personnel and inspection.
"Some city-level investigation teams frequently receive cadres of the corps, and they can complete the annual reception expenses in one quarter. In order to solve the problem of insufficient funds, the captains of individual city-level investigation teams acquiesced in or even instructed the heads of departments to arbitrage funds by falsely listing meetings or training expenses, and set up 'small treasuries' in violation of laws and regulations for eating and drinking at public funds. The relevant responsible comrade of the discipline inspection and supervision group stationed in the National Development and Reform Commission said.
In order to resolutely stop this unhealthy trend and fundamentally prevent and control the problem of illegal official reception and eating and drinking of public funds in the National Bureau of Statistics system, the discipline inspection and supervision team stationed in the National Development and Reform Commission and the Party Group of the National Bureau of Statistics held a special meeting in May 2022, suggesting that we start by strengthening the system, standardize official business travel activities, and eradicate the soil that breeds illegal public funds.
The strict tone runs through the whole process, and comprehensively standardizes the dining on official business trips
In the process of formulating the Measures for the Administration of Business Trips and Meals, the discipline inspection and supervision team stationed in the National Development and Reform Commission clearly supported the Party Group of the National Bureau of Statistics to fully implement the spirit of the eight central regulations and their implementation rules, implement the requirements of "tight days", and adhere to the strict tone and strict standards in accordance with important provisions such as the Regulations on the Administration of Domestic Official Reception by Party and Government Organs, and the Measures for the Management of Travel Expenses of Central and State Organs.
The Party Group of the National Bureau of Statistics has organized and held special meetings on many occasions to study and deliberate on specific provisions. Previously, the Party Group of the National Bureau of Statistics revised and promulgated the Implementation Measures for the Management of Official Outings, which clearly put forward "eight musts", many of which included strict requirements on the reception of official outings. The promulgation of the "Measures for the Administration of Business Trip Meals" has been further improved on the basis of the original regulations, and the management loopholes of illegal reception such as exceeding the standard and exceeding the scope have been plugged. The "Measures for the Administration of Business Travel Meals" consists of 11 measures, which are targeted and comprehensively regulate official business trip meals, providing an important institutional guarantee for preventing and controlling the problem of illegal eating and drinking of public funds in the system of the National Bureau of Statistics from the source.
Relevant responsible comrades of the discipline inspection and supervision group stationed in the National Development and Reform Commission told reporters that the "Measures for the Management of Business Trip Meals" clearly put forward the mandatory requirement for the abolition of official reception meals in the system of the National Bureau of Statistics, and stipulated that during official business trips by all administrative units of the National Bureau of Statistics, enterprises and institutions directly under the State Bureau of Statistics, and staff of national investigation teams at all levels, the State Bureau organs and national investigation teams at all levels will no longer arrange work reception meals. At the same time, it also clearly puts forward the normative requirements for official business travel reception units in the system of the National Bureau of Statistics to assist in arranging meals. The "Measures for the Administration of Business Trip Meals" stipulates that during official business trips, if the reception unit assists in arranging meals, it shall inform the reception unit of the control standards in advance and pay the meal fee; The reception unit assists in arranging meals, and if the unit has an internal canteen, it should arrange to eat in the internal canteen and pay the meal fee according to the standard; If there is no in-house canteen, the dining staff shall pay for the meal according to the actual expenses incurred.
In view of the possible invisible mutation of the "four winds" problem, the Measures for the Administration of Business Travel and Dining also put forward the prohibitive requirements of "three strict prohibitions", emphasizing that during official business trips, it is strictly forbidden to conduct official reception in the name of private banquets; It is strictly forbidden to reimburse public funds or pay for meals that should be borne by individuals; It is strictly forbidden to take funds to offset illegal meal expenses through meetings, training, inflated expenses, etc.
Supervise strict implementation to ensure that the system is implemented and effective
The vitality of the system lies in its implementation. The discipline inspection and supervision team stationed in the National Development and Reform Commission takes assisting the Party Group of the National Bureau of Statistics to grasp the implementation of the "Measures for the Management of Business Meals" as the focus of supervision, strengthens the implementation of the system, and focuses on "helping, promoting and guaranteeing" to promote the implementation of the "Measures for the Management of Business Meals".
To strengthen publicity and interpretation to help implementation. The discipline inspection and supervision team stationed in the National Development and Reform Commission took advantage of the opportunity of the National Bureau of Statistics to hold a video conference on government affairs training in the statistical system and a special training course on comprehensively administering the party strictly, and the Office of the National Bureau of Statistics interpreted the core content of the "Measures for the Management of Business Trips", further increased publicity, and enhanced the political awareness and discipline awareness of leading cadres at all levels, so that every party member and cadre can deeply understand the harm of the "four winds", know shame, know stop, know awe, abide by rules, discipline and the bottom line.
Promote implementation by supervising and enforcing discipline. Continue to maintain a high-pressure situation of investigating and dealing with illegal official receptions and eating and drinking of public funds, and crack down on those who violate discipline when they show up if they do not strictly enforce the system, leaving no room for it. It is understood that the discipline inspection and supervision team stationed in the National Development and Reform Commission has recently seriously investigated and dealt with two typical cases of falsely listing conference expenses for official receptions and eating and drinking at public funds (violations of discipline occurred before the issuance of the "Measures for the Management of Business Trips"), and imposed party discipline and government sanctions on six cadres, of which one cadre at the department and bureau level was given a "cliff-like" heavy punishment, and four party-member cadres were dismissed from their posts. While maintaining a high-pressure situation, we should pay attention to strengthening warning education, report cases to the whole system, strictly enforce discipline, urge the vast number of cadres and workers in the statistical system to strictly implement the requirements of the "Measures for the Management of Business Trips," and root out the "four winds" in ideology and action such as illegal official reception and illegal eating and drinking of public funds.
Ensure implementation with a long-term mechanism. Promote the Party organizations at all levels of the National Bureau of Statistics to include the implementation of the "Measures for the Management of Business Trips" into the annual list of main responsibilities, and urge members of leadership groups at all levels to take the lead in implementation. In particular, the issue of inflated expenditures for official reception and eating and drinking of public funds is included in key audit matters, official reception is regarded as the key content of annual budget performance and internal control supervision and inspection, and the work method of strengthening the financial supervision of the investigation team system is studied and promulgated, and a working mechanism for financial supervision and audit supervision to jointly ensure implementation is formed.
The discipline inspection and supervision team stationed in the National Development and Reform Commission regards urging the Party organizations at all levels of the National Bureau of Statistics to implement the "Measures for the Management of Business Trips" as an important starting point for implementing the spirit of the eight central regulations, and promotes the in-depth rectification of the "four winds" throughout the system, and the results of governance have initially appeared.
"One obvious change is the significant reduction in the budget for official reception. At the beginning of this year, the budget for official reception of the survey team system set by the National Bureau of Statistics fell by 22% compared with previous years. Relevant responsible comrades of the discipline inspection and supervision group stationed in the National Development and Reform Commission told reporters that since the issuance of the "Measures for the Management of Business Trip Meals", members of the leading group of the Party Group of the National Bureau of Statistics and leading cadres at the bureau and bureau level have taken the lead in implementing it.
At the same time, the burden on grassroots investigation teams has also been greatly reduced. Some grassroots investigation team party members and cadres said that the introduction of the "Measures for the Management of Business Trip Meals" is a fundamental move, reducing the burden on the grassroots from the institutional level, allowing grassroots cadres to be "freed" from reception, and protecting cadres from making fewer mistakes. Some party-member cadres of the investigation team who were punished by the party for illegal official reception also used their own lessons as a warning for systematic cadres, gave a lecture on the "Measures for the Management of Business Trips," and warned everyone to conscientiously abide by and strictly implement it, which is not only responsible for the organization, the cause, but also for themselves.
It is understood that since the promulgation of the "Measures for the Administration of Business Trips", the discipline inspection and supervision team stationed in the National Development and Reform Commission has not involved the problem of new illegal official reception problems among the clues and violations of rules and disciplines investigated and handled. At the end of 2022, the discipline inspection and supervision team stationed in the National Development and Reform Commission supervised and inspected the implementation of the investigation corps system in four provinces, and did not find any new illegal official reception problems.
"We will thoroughly implement the spirit of the 20th Party Congress and the Second Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, persist in correcting the 'four winds' and creating new winds at the same time, grasp the widespread and recurring problem of eating and drinking of illegal public funds to deepen rectification, continue to promote members of the leading groups of the National Bureau of Statistics at all levels to take the lead in implementing the "Measures for the Management of Business Trips", educate and guide party members and cadres to keep in mind the 'three imperatives', and promote the normalization and long-term effectiveness of work style construction." At the same time, we will increase the intensity of investigation and accountability, investigate and deal with those who violate discipline at the top of the wind, and report and expose them all together, so as to promote the National Bureau of Statistics to systematically implement the spirit of the eight central regulations with strong supervision and achieve new results. The relevant responsible comrade of the discipline inspection and supervision group stationed in the National Development and Reform Commission said.

Eating and drinking have a long history of chronic diseases, which promote the bad atmosphere of extravagance and waste and even extravagant pleasure, seriously violate the spirit of the eight central regulations, and damage the credibility of the party and the country. How to cure the persistent diseases of eating and drinking has a bearing on the party's image and prestige among the masses. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has attached great importance to the "four winds" issue, opening a new chapter in the history of style construction. The discipline inspection and supervision team stationed in the National Development and Reform Commission focused on the fact that the problems of illegal official reception and eating and drinking of public funds in the investigation team of the National Bureau of Statistics are prone to occur frequently, gave full play to the role of supervision and discipline accountability, supervision and investigation and disposal functions, carried out investigation and handling work with the "three clean-up" special governance action, unwaveringly adhered to the strict tone of the "three strict prohibitions", and ensured the implementation of the system with the combined fist of "helping, promoting and guaranteeing". These measures are conducive to controlling the "four winds" problems such as illegal official reception and eating and drinking at public funds in ideology and action, and are conducive to maintaining a clean political ecology, and are effective measures to build a solid foundation for the party's long-term ruling power.
