300 rules abolished in Party鈥檚 overhaul
Print Edition
China’s Communist Party, which relies on Party rules to organize its 80 million members, said yesterday that the first overhaul of these rules took place in June.
More than 40 percent of rules issued since 1978, when China launched its reform and opening up, have either been abolished or declared invalid in the cleanup campaign, according to a statement by the Party’s Central Committee.
Of the 300 abolished and nullified rules, many were deemed old-fashioned or out of date, with 54 percent inconsistent with the current Party Constitution and policies or the Chinese Constitution and laws. Many others were incompatible with the reality of today’s society.
In October, the Party will start cleaning up rules issued from 1949 to 1978.
In the nearly 64 years of Party rule since 1949, China has gone through drastic changes, from being an isolated and poverty-stricken country to becoming the world’s second largest economy, deeply engaged in globalization.
Obviously old rules will contradict new ones and new rules repudiate old ones, the Party said.
The legal system has taken a new shape in the past three decades so a number of rules have had to be abolished or amended to be in line with the rule of law.
A chaotic system does not help implementation, but causes confusion, reduces efficiency and harms credibility, the Party statement said.
That is why the Party leadership is very keen on the cleanup campaign, which is considered a first step as the Party plans to regularly clean up its numerous regulations.
Effective systems must assess every rule, the statement said, supervise its implementation and discipline those who violate it.
It is a chance for the Party to review how to issue the right rule at the right time, improve internal management and sharpen Party supervision.
The Party’s Central Committee published two documents on supervision and formation of Party rules in May.
One specified which parts of the Party machine can draft, approve, publish, amend and abolish regulations and the procedures they should follow. The other detailed how regulations should be reviewed, amended or abolished.
Together, they constitute the first codification of rule-making since the founding of the Party in 1921.
