Party takes tough stance on graft
Print Edition
CHINA’S top anti-graft authority has pledged to maintain a tough stance on corruption in 2017 and promote “comprehensively and strictly governing the Party” to go deeper.
Efforts are needed to maintain a sound intra-Party political environment and prepare for the 19th Communist Party of China National Congress to be held this year, according to a communique released after the seventh plenary session of the 18th CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection that ended yesterday.
The communique called for strengthened intra-Party supervision and strict procedures for official selection and promotion, so as to guarantee selection of clean officials for central and local governments.
It advocated strengthening the selection and promotion of clean officials.
China will establish a national supervisory commission and push the stipulation of a law on national supervision, as part of efforts to reform the state supervisory system, according to the communique.
China has begun to pilot supervisory system reform in Beijing and the provinces of Shanxi and Zhejiang.
The pilot work will see the establishment of local supervisory commissions at three levels — provincial, municipal and county — in order to form an integrated supervision system that will be “unified, authoritative and efficient,” the communique said.
The new supervisory system will integrate the functions of current supervision authorities and corruption prevention agencies, as well as departments for handling bribery and dereliction of duty cases or the prevention of duty-related crimes under procuratorates at various levels, it said.
The communique stressed adherence to centralized and unified leadership of the Party’s Central Committee. “It is a must to conform with the CPC Central Committee with Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Party, as the core, and maintain solidarity and unity of the Party,” it said.
To uphold the authority of the Party’s Central Committee with Xi as the core is the basic guarantee for adhering to and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics, it said.
To strictly govern the Party, the communique emphasized strengthening disciplines in intra-Party political life and reinforcing supervision within the Party.
The Party’s leadership will be weakened if it isolates itself from the people, and the greatest political achievement of the Party comes from increasing confidence and trust from the public, it said.
“Trust cannot take the place of supervision,” the communique said, adding that discipline inspection agencies should integrate self-discipline with other forms of supervision, including supervision in the Party and by society.
