New CPC rule on demotion introduced to motivate cadres
Print Edition
The latest regulation on the promotion and demotion of Party cadres is an important measure to more strictly govern officials.
The Communist Party of China (CPC) issued a regulation on the promotion and demotion of officials last Monday. The regulation aims to fix a longtime problem in China鈥檚 political system that allows officials to be promoted or stay at the same level, but does not let them be demoted unless they commit violations of CPC rules or the law.
Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC in 2012, the Party鈥檚 central authority has made a series of rules about selection and appointment of cadres, training, reports of personal issues, accountability, and 鈥渘aked officials鈥 whose family members have moved abroad.
Lingering problem
鈥淚n China鈥檚 official personnel system, there鈥檚 a lingering problem in which convention seems to allow officials to be promoted or stay at the same level, and they can only be demoted if they make mistakes,鈥 said Yao Wenzhi, vice minister of the Organization Department of east China鈥檚 Zhejiang Province. Yao added that the CPC, since its rule began in 1949, has been fully aware of the problem and has been trying to fix it.
In 1978, the Party abolished de facto lifelong tenure for leading posts and established and improved retirement, tenure and accountability systems. However, it lacks a system for demoting officials.
The new rule is the first the CPC has made for demotion, according to experts. The regulation stipulates concrete rules for the demotion of officials based on lessons taken from CPC cadre team-building, especially in recent years, said Dai Yanjun, professor with the Party School of the CPC Central Committee.
The regulation lists six scenarios in which officials should be demoted, such as reaching retirement age, expiration of the term of office, accountability for problems, health reasons, legal and disciplinary offenses, and reassigning officials who are not suited for their current posts.
Yao said the regulation provides a great opportunity to set regular checks on incompetent officials with poor work conduct such as political idleness, malpractice, and neglect of duty. Experts said the goal of the regulation is not demotion of officials, but rather to motivate officials to act more effectively in their posts.
