(Original title: Promote the party's self-revolution with strict discipline - study and interpretation of the "Regulations on Disciplinary Actions of the Communist Party of China", temper and take responsibility, perform duties and responsibilities bravely).
The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) drew a grand blueprint for building China into a great modern socialist country in an all-round way and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in an all-round way with Chinese-style modernization, and clarified the goals and tasks for the development of the cause of the Party and the country in the new era and new journey. To turn this grand blueprint into a beautiful reality, party members and cadres need to perform their duties and responsibilities for the party and the people with a sense of responsibility that can never be assured at all times, and the spirit of actively taking responsibility. However, in the face of the arduous mission and heavy tasks of the new era and new journey, some party members and cadres still have some problems that cannot be ignored in starting a business, such as the lack of the spirit of responsibility, the lack of practical spirit, and the phenomenon of formalism and bureaucracy is still more prominent, which must be solved with great efforts. The newly revised "Regulations" adhere to the combination of goal-oriented and problem-oriented, closely focus on promoting party members and cadres to take responsibility and shoulder heavy burdens, and constantly improve the system, so as to promote the normal development of the party's work and realize the party's mission and tasks in the new era and new journey.
First, it is necessary to resolutely rectify formalism and bureaucracy. Formalism and bureaucracy are incompatible with the nature, purpose, and fine style of our party, and are the great enemies of our party and the people. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have persevered in upright conduct and discipline, and taken the prevention of formalism and bureaucracy as an important task to strengthen the construction of work style. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China further emphasized that we should continue to deepen the rectification of the "four winds", focusing on correcting formalism and bureaucracy. Some situations seem to be new manifestations, but in fact they are old problems, which fully shows that the "four winds" problem is stubborn and repetitive, and the rectification of the "four winds" must not stop. The "Regulations" focus on the prominent issues such as "patting the head" decision-making, "one-size-fits-all" implementation, engaging in literature and mountains and seas, and treating "traces" as "political achievements", and make targeted punishment provisions, with perseverance and tenacity always on the road, promote the solution of the old problems of the "four winds" from the system, and promote the creation of new great causes with a good style and good image.
The second is to urge cadres to have the courage to take responsibility and act actively. In the new era and new journey, cadres need to take responsibility and carry forward the spirit of struggle to promote the overall layout of the "five-in-one" and the "four comprehensive" strategic layout. The "Regulations" implement the requirements of the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on "increasing the spirit of struggle and the cultivation of fighting skills", and in view of the outstanding problems such as some cadres who are satisfied with being peace officials, detours when encountering contradictions, and turning in difficult problems, etc., increase the punishment provisions for those who dare not fight, are unwilling to take responsibility, and retreat in the face of major contradictions and conflicts, crises and difficulties, which is conducive to guiding the majority of party members and cadres to use the practical actions of knowing the heavy burden and overcoming difficulties, and interpreting the loyalty to the party, sharing worries for the party, fulfilling responsibilities for the party, and benefiting the people. At the same time, a new stipulation has been added that "new officials ignore old accounts" to prevent leading cadres from turning a blind eye to and procrastinating for a long time on the pretext of changing leadership groups and post adjustments, and urging leading cadres to be "bell-solvers" of contradictions.
The third is to promote party members to perform their duties and responsibilities and standardize the use of power. Statistics, institutional establishment, letters and visits are related to the national economy and people's livelihood, serve economic and social development, play an important role in the national governance system, and are important tasks to strengthen the party's long-term governing ability and the building of state power, and our party has always attached great importance to it. The "Regulations" implement the spirit of the relevant important instructions and instructions of the General Secretary, and are in line with the "Regulations on the Establishment of Institutions of the Communist Party of China", "Regulations on the Work of Letters and Visits", "Recommended Measures for the Punishment of Persons Responsible for Statistical Violations of Discipline and Law" and other provisions, and increase the punishment provisions for statistical fraud, violation of the regulations on the establishment and management of institutions, and failure to perform the duties of letters and visits, so as to promote the majority of Party members and cadres to have the "great man of the country" in their hearts, and focus on the central task of the Party in the new era and new journey, correctly exercise power, and actively promote development.
Fourth, promote precise accountability. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that it is necessary to implement the political responsibility of comprehensively and strictly governing the party and make good use of the weapon of accountability. Effective accountability is conducive to promoting Party organizations at all levels and Party leading cadres to be responsible, responsible, and honestLack of accountability and simplification will reduce the warning effect of accountability and affect the enthusiasm of cadres and officials to start a business. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance the political, precise and effective nature of accountability work, and enhance the comprehensive effect of accountability. The Regulations on the Accountability of the Communist Party of China require serious accountability for conduct that abuses accountability or is seriously irresponsible in accountability work, causing adverse impacts. The "Regulations" are connected with the Accountability Regulations, and add provisions on the punishment of abuse of accountability and serious irresponsibility in accountability work, which is conducive to promoting the standardization and precision of accountability work, effectively giving play to the political function of accountability within the Party, and promoting Party organizations and leading cadres with Party members to better shoulder the responsibility of comprehensively and strictly governing the Party.
Fifth, intensify the regulation of relevant interference and meddling. The "Several Guidelines on Intra-Party Political Life in the New Situation" stipulates that leading cadres must not interfere in the selection and appointment of cadres in the places where they have worked and lived, in the units where they have worked, or in areas that do not belong to their own areas of responsibility, and must never interfere in the administration of justice in violation of regulations, and are not allowed to interfere or meddle in organizational investigations. The "Opinions of the Communist Party of China on Strengthening the Supervision of the "Number One" and the Leading Group put forward clear requirements for the strict implementation of the system of recording leading cadres' interference in major matters, and stipulates that the relevant trustees should report to the party organizations of their departments and units in a timely manner. The "Regulations" are in line with the above-mentioned provisions, adding provisions on the punishment of trustees who have the obligation to report and register in accordance with the relevant provisions for not reporting or registering acts in accordance with the regulations, clarifying the basis for sanctions, making the governance chain of illegal interference more complete, and promoting the systematic correction of illegal interference.
