Why is there no anti-corruption law? … … At the press conference held by the State Council Information Office on the 9th, the responsible person of the Supervision Department of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection answered questions from Chinese and foreign journalists around the above hot issues.
Q: How to evaluate the view that "anti-corruption can end at the end of the session"? Answer: Do everything except evil.
A reporter asked, the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China will be held this year, and there is public concern that the anti-corruption pace will be slowed down for the sake of stability. What’s your comment?
Luo Dongchuan, director of the case trial room of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, said that we should overcome the idea that "anti-corruption can end at the end of the session", and we should never weaken the intensity of punishing corruption and never change our zero tolerance attitude. We will continue to maintain the high-pressure situation of punishing corruption, resolutely eradicate corruption as the most deadly "pollution source", eliminate all evils in accordance with the requirements of the CPC Central Committee, and resolutely win the struggle against corruption, which has a bearing on the life and death of the ruling party.
Q: What is the basis for saying that the overwhelming situation has formed? A: There are facts and data.
When answering a reporter’s question about "What is the basis of the overwhelming situation", Xiao Pei, Vice Minister of Supervision, answered with facts and data.
Xiao Pei pointed out that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has put 240 middle-ranking cadres on file for examination, which is 3.6 times of the number of middle-ranking cadres examined during the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and severely investigated and dealt with serious cases of Zhou Yongkang, Bo Xilai, Guo Boxiong, Xu Caihou, Ling Jihua and others, and severely investigated and dealt with political corruption and economic corruption intertwined through interest transfer, thus eliminating major political hidden dangers of the party and the country.
He also pointed out that speaking with numbers is "one drop and one liter". At present, the complaint letters and visits received by the discipline inspection organs are on the decline. The number of such reports received in 2016 decreased by 17.5% compared with that in 2015, which was the first decline since the 18th CPC National Congress. "One liter" means that the number of party member people who have been put on file for examination and punishment by the discipline inspection organs has been rising continuously. Against the background of party member’s growing base, party member’s punishment rate rose from 1.8 per thousand to 4.3 per thousand.
"Last year, under the strong anti-corruption high-pressure situation, 57,000 party member took the initiative to explain their problems to the organization. This is an overwhelming situation." Xiao Pei said.
Q: Why is there no anti-corruption law? A: The State Supervision Law will be promulgated.
A reporter asked why China has not enacted an anti-corruption law.
Wu Yuliang, deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, said that any legislation has a process, and legislation is a summary and promotion of practical experience. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the unswerving anti-corruption practices and achievements of the CPC Central Committee have laid an important foundation for anti-corruption national legislation. Now, under the unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee, we are promoting the reform of the national supervision system and have carried out pilot work in Beijing, Shanxi and Zhejiang provinces and cities. The National Supervisory Commission (NSC) is the national anti-corruption agency, and the essence of enacting the national supervision law is to promote the anti-corruption national legislation. Next, the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) will complete the first and second trials of the State Supervision Law, and finally the State Supervision Law will be promulgated.
Q: Will the confessions of corrupt senior officials be made public? A: It was gradually made public before the 19th National Congress.
Zhu Guoxian, director of the Propaganda Department of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, said at the press conference that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has compiled confessions of cadres in charge of serious violations of discipline and law, reflecting the achievements made in learning from the past and saving lives.
"The confessions of the cadres in charge of discipline violations were issued to the original crime unit as ‘ Two studies and one doing ’ The negative teaching material of the democratic life meeting of the leading group of learning and education is to educate people around us with the things around them, and to urge leading cadres in party member to put themselves in, check the problems, find the crux, plug the loopholes, draw inferences, and effectively rectify and improve. " Zhu Guoxian said, "Next, we will open a special column in the media of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and we will gradually make it public before the 19 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China."
Q: Can the inner-party supervision regulations solve the problem of "doctors operating on themselves"? A: Various kinds of supervision are organically combined.
At the press conference, a reporter said that inner-party supervision is like a doctor operating on himself, which is very difficult. Can the inner-party supervision regulations solve this problem?
Xiao Pei pointed out that the biggest challenge that our party faces in its long-term governance is how to strictly restrict and not abuse power. The history of our Party proves that our Party has a strong ability of self-repair. It has experienced many mistakes, and each time it corrected its own mistakes by relying on the Party rather than leaving it. The fundamental reason is that the Communist Party of China (CPC) did not make mistakes, but that we never avoided medical treatment and were able to find and correct mistakes in time. The Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee adopted "Several Guidelines on Political Life within the Party under the New Situation" and "Regulations on Inner-Party Supervision in the Communist Party of China (CPC)", which took another big step forward in our Party’s self-supervision, and relied on system, education, education with ideals and beliefs, management and supervision to find problems and correct deviations in time.
Xiao Pei said that in the whole supervision system of the party and the state, inner-party supervision is the first. Once inner-party supervision fails, other supervision will inevitably fail. At the same time, we should organically combine inner-party supervision with democratic supervision and social supervision, including mass supervision and public opinion supervision, and constantly enhance our party’s ability of self-purification, self-improvement, self-innovation and self-improvement.
Q: How will the central inspection work be deployed this year? A: In the first half of this year, we will conduct a tour of the middle management colleges and universities.
When answering a reporter’s question about how to deploy the central inspection work this year, Wu Yuliang said that at present, the 18th Central Inspection has been carried out for 11 rounds, and the party organizations of 247 localities, departments and units have been inspected, which has completed the full coverage of key local and state-owned enterprises, central financial institutions and central and state organs. At the same time, 12 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities were reviewed. In the first half of this year, we will carry out inspections of colleges and universities in China, and continue to "look back" on provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities to achieve full coverage of inspections during a term of office. After the full coverage is completed, the Central Leading Group for Inspection Work will comprehensively summarize the experience of the 18th inspection work, further improve relevant systems, and put forward opinions and suggestions for future work.
Q: Are Li Liguo and Dou Yupei, former leaders of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, under review? A: The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is reviewing.
In response to a reporter’s question, Luo Dongchuan said that according to the "Regulations on Accountability in the Communist Party of China (CPC)", leading cadres who have neglected their duties in managing the Party should be held accountable. According to the inspections and reports from the masses, the relevant leaders of the Ministry of Civil Affairs have some reflections in this regard. Now the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is reviewing them. Once the facts and the situation are clearly checked, according to their disciplinary facts and nature, they will be punished according to the regulations on disciplinary actions. At the end of the treatment, relevant news will be announced to the public.
