The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized the need to "comprehensively strengthen the party's discipline construction", and the second plenary session of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection clearly demanded: "Put the discipline construction in a more prominent position, and implement strict requirements in the whole process of party rule formulation, party discipline education, and discipline enforcement supervision, so that the iron discipline 'grows teeth' and exerts authority, and also allows cadres to pay attention, be vigilant, and know how to stop, so that the whole party can form a high degree of consciousness of abiding by rules and disciplines." "Discipline is the "precept ruler" for governing the party, comprehensively strengthen the party's discipline construction, use strict discipline to govern the party, and make it a standard and compliance for party members and cadres to restrain themselves, which can enhance the party's cohesion, appeal and combat effectiveness, and maintain the party's advanced nature and purity, which is of great significance for exploring effective ways to achieve the party's self-purification and promoting the comprehensive and strict governance of the party to develop in depth.
1. Improve the system of laws and regulations within the Party, and build a strong line of defense against the risk of violating discipline.
Improving the construction of the party's internal laws and regulations and insisting on governing the party in accordance with rules and regulations is an inevitable choice to build a strong line of defense against the risk of violating discipline, and it is also a strong guarantee for promoting the comprehensive and strict governance of the party to develop in depth. At present, the system of laws and regulations within the party provides basic institutional support for the management of the party and the governance of the party. However, the establishment of the institutional system is not once and for all, and the construction of the party's internal legal system must be synchronized with the development of the party's building and the party's cause. At present, China has entered a new stage of high-quality development, and the construction of intra-party laws and regulations has also entered a new stage of high-quality development. Based on the new stage, governing the party in accordance with rules and regulations is facing new tasks. It is necessary to adhere to the guidance of the socialist thought with Chinese characteristics in the new era and the party constitution, take the principle of democratic centralism as the basic observance, combine the general requirements of party building in the new era, and combine the actual needs of the party's career development, and further improve the party's internal laws and regulations with scientific content, rigorous procedures, complete supporting facilities, and efficient operation, make up for the shortcomings of the system, broaden the "face" of the party's internal regulations, and promote the comprehensive and strict governance of the party to develop in depth. First, it is necessary to carry out in depth the work of "purifying, reforming, abolishing, and establishing" party rules and party discipline, formulate new laws and regulations, improve existing laws and regulations, and abolish laws and regulations that are not suitable in line with the principle of extending the law and being effective in doing things, and strive to form a systematic and complete system of laws and regulations within the party. The second is to thoroughly implement the new ideas, new ideas and new strategies of governance with comrades as the core since the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, focus on reflecting the new experience and new measures to promote the comprehensive and strict governance of the party, realize institutional innovation on the basis of theoretical innovation and practical innovation, and form a new institutional arrangement for comprehensive and strict governance of the party. At the same time, we will vigorously promote the innovation of work concepts, ideas and methods, grasp the regularity, reflect the nature of the times and innovation, and implement the new development concept into the work of the party's laws and regulations. The third is to promote the implementation of the party's laws and regulations. Party organizations and Party members and cadres at all levels should strengthen the political awareness of implementing the party's internal laws and regulations, firmly establish the idea that "enforcing rules is a duty, and failing to enforce rules is a dereliction of duty", maintain the authoritative position of the party's rules and regulations, respect and abide by laws and regulations, and implement the party's laws and regulations. Party committees at all levels bear the primary responsibility for the implementation of intra-party laws and regulations in their respective regions, and relevant units and relevant functional departments should also perform their respective duties, play a set of coordinated and coordinated combination punches, and form an implementation mechanism that runs through the top and bottom and links vertically and horizontally.
2. Strengthen regular discipline education and continue to water the water of discipline.
Strengthening regular discipline education is a basic and long-term work to strengthen discipline education, and it is necessary to continuously strengthen discipline education, guide party members and cadres to learn to abide by rules and discipline, and do what they are wary of and stop doing. The first is to do regular discipline education. To carry out regular discipline education, it is necessary to build a general database of the Party Constitution, Party rules and Party discipline Xi, classify the content of discipline education, collect outstanding problems and classic cases in the process of Party discipline construction in various places, and enrich the resources of discipline education Xi. Party committees (Party groups) at all levels should include discipline education as a compulsory course and the first course in the Party committee (Party group) theoretical Xi central group, and carry out study Xi in a regular and institutionalized mannerUsing the theme party day activities of the branch, "three meetings and one lesson" and other activities, through Xi seminars, keynote speeches, party class education, field visits, etc., guide party members and cadres to actively take responsibility and consciously abide by rules and disciplinesGive full play to the training of party schools at all levels on the party constitution and party rules and discipline, and promote the study and Xi of party members and cadres by incorporating discipline education into the training plans of party schools, compiling high-quality teaching materials, and creating high-quality courses and online classes. The second is to strengthen the grading and classification of regular education. According to different job categories and the nature of the post, the party's discipline education should be carried out in a targeted and differentiated manner, and regular education should be carried out at different levels and times one by one, and frequent problems and hidden dangers should be summarized, and the content of regular education should be customized to achieve "precise drip irrigation" in regular discipline education. For example, focusing on important festivals and time nodes where problems are prone to occur, hold a pre-holiday clean government talk meeting to remind clean government;Pay attention to the growth and training of young cadres, help young cadres buckle the "first button" of honesty and self-discipline, and take the road of "starting from shifting gears". The third is to innovate the form of regular discipline education. The use of modern educational technology, such as the Internet, mobile learning Xi platform, etc., to provide rich and convenient learning Xi channels and resources, to provide party members and cadres with a platform for systematic learning Xi, self-testing and communication and interaction, to promote party members and cadres to better learn Xi theoretical knowledge and participate in social practice. Give full play to the advantages of the new network, produce the party's discipline education shorts, cartoons, electronic brochures, etc., through vivid and interesting expressions, expand the scope and effect of dissemination, and enhance the effectiveness and appeal of regular discipline education.
3. Strictly implement the party's discipline regulations and rules and regulations, and insist on strict discipline and discipline violations.
It is necessary to strictly use the ruler of party rules and party discipline to measure the behavior of party members and cadres, strictly implement the party's discipline regulations and rules and regulations, increase the intensity of implementation, and implement iron discipline in all aspects of discipline enforcement and supervision. The discipline inspection and supervision departments have resolutely investigated and dealt with the problems of violating party discipline when they find them, and have truly let the iron discipline "grow teeth" and exert its authority, and resolutely ensure that discipline must be strictly enforced and violations of discipline must be investigated. The first is to strengthen daily supervision. Pay attention to and strengthen daily supervision, adhere to the problem-oriented, and discover problems as early as possible. It is necessary to take the discovery of problems and the formation of deterrence as the main task, make full use of supervision methods such as patrols and inspections, stationed supervision, etc., take the initiative to attack, and extend the tentacles to the grassroots level and to every party member and cadre. In the process of supervision, it is especially necessary to keep an eye on key departments, key people and key matters, and comprehensively use various methods such as regular reporting, conversation and communication, and document collection to obtain more real information, so as to form a normalized supervision mechanism. In particular, it is necessary to conscientiously sort out the problems in work style and discipline that may arise in the objects of supervision, and strengthen research and judgment, so as to discover clues to problems for discipline enforcement and accountability. The second is to implement special supervision. Focus on education, medical care, employment, pension, finance, environmental protection and other fields where the masses have strong reactions and relatively prominent problems to strengthen special supervision, focus on strengthening the supervision of the "top leader" and his leadership team, and personnel in important positions, focus on investigating links that are prone to discipline violations, corruption, and integrity risks, and conduct risk assessment and early warning. Violations of Party discipline will not be tolerated, and clues on violations of discipline and law discovered will be promptly transferred to relevant departments for handling. The third is to enforce discipline strictly. It is necessary to focus on maintaining the seriousness and compulsion of party discipline, with the more serious strength of "not rubbing sand in the eyes", strictly supervise and enforce discipline, so that there is no trivial matter and no forbidden area in discipline enforcement, always maintain a high-pressure situation of dealing with problems, seriously deal with all kinds of disciplinary cases, continue to improve and consolidate the strong deterrent and binding force of party rules and party discipline, and make party discipline truly an untouchable bottom line, so as to enhance the consciousness of party members and cadres to abide by discipline and rules.
Fourth, the precise use of the "four forms", highlighting the "early grasp of the small".
The "four forms" take the party's discipline and rules as the internal yardstick, organically integrate the requirements of "comprehensive" and "strict" in specific practice, and outline the gradient evolution trajectory from "violation of discipline" to "violation" according to the commonality and law of party members and cadres' disciplinary violations, and formulate countermeasures for symptomatic treatment, which is a "protective line" of discipline set before the bottom line of the law. It is necessary to conscientiously implement and fully implement the "four forms", especially in the application of the first form, make greater efforts to "grasp the early and small" in a timely manner, prevent and control violations of discipline and law from the source, provide strong support for the majority of party members and cadres to hold the first line of defense, and reflect the strict requirements and care for party members and cadres. The first is to change the concept and method of discipline enforcement. Put the investigation and punishment of "violation of discipline" in front of the investigation and punishment of "violation of law." It is necessary to exert full efforts on the word "strict," have zero tolerance for violations of discipline, strictly enforce the law, and punish those who are liable at every turn, and absolutely cannot wait until party members and cadres have seriously violated discipline and violated the law before conducting examinations. It is necessary to make a fuss about the details and reality, and do not let go of the small things. We must resolutely abandon the habitual thinking that violations of discipline are only trivial matters and that violations of the law should be dealt with, carry forward the spirit of "woodpeckers", and deal with the problems of violations of discipline by party members and cadres, even if the circumstances are minor, and catch out the "bugs" in a timely manner. At the same time, according to the situation, the disciplinary punishment and the timely punishment or handling of the organization can also pull the sleeves and bite the ears, so as to truly achieve a red face and sweating. The second is to implement the "three distinctions". The precise use of the "four forms" should not only persist in seeking truth from facts to find out the objective facts of cases of violations of law and discipline, but also find out the objective causes, subjective will, degree of harm, consistent performance, etc.;It is necessary not only to maintain unabated accountability, but also to scientifically and reasonably tolerate faults, correct errors, and exempt from responsibilityIt is necessary not only to see the bottom of the problem and the facts to be clear, but also to encourage party members and cadres to have the courage to take responsibility. Adhere to the close combination of incentives and constraints, strict management and the organic unity of love, and constantly stimulate the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of party members and cadres to start a business, do things in a down-to-earth manner, and selfless dedication, and actively create a good atmosphere that encourages party members and cadres to take responsibility. The third is to improve the quality of case handling. **The Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission continue to release guiding cases on discipline enforcement in response to issues such as "eating official letters" in official receptions, "indiscriminate apportionment" that harms the interests of the masses, resisting the determination of the nature of organizational review, and doing a good job of tolerating faults, reducing responsibilities and exempting responsibilities, etc., to provide clear guidance and reference for discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels to accurately and standardize supervision and discipline enforcement work. Discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels should correct their thinking and attitude, grasp facts and evidence, adhere to discipline and law standards, and make overall plans for the use of discipline education, warnings and admonitions, and discipline and law deterrence, so as to improve the overall quality of supervision and discipline enforcement.
