Corruption is the greatest cancer that endangers the party's vitality and combat effectiveness, and the fight against corruption is the most thorough self-revolution. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has taken winning the anti-corruption struggle as a major political task of the whole party, insisted on fighting corruption and cracking down on corruption, grasped the evolutionary characteristics and development trend of corruption, gave full play to the advantages of the system and the rule of law, insisted on the integrated promotion of not daring to be corrupt, not being able to be corrupt, and not wanting to be corrupt. Broadly speaking, there are five main experiences in deepening the anti-corruption and clean government construction in the new era.
First, the rule of law and anti-corruption are the regulatory guarantee for improving the scientific level of corruption governance.
The system is the norm and constraint of social and political life, and has the governance functions of value guidance, people's cohesion, action management, group integration, and order maintenance. The awareness of the rule of law is the conceptual and cognitive basis of the party's anti-corruption and clean government construction, good laws and good systems are the basis and premise for the anti-corruption and clean government work to be carried out, and the effective implementation of the system is the means and goal of the anti-corruption and clean government construction. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the first to take anti-corruption and clean government as a "major political task", to govern corruption with the rule of law thinking and rule of law, "put power in the cage of the system", vigorously promote the rule of law, and promote the integration of discipline and law enforcement. ** Successively revised the Party Constitution, formulated and improved the Regulations on Intra-Party Supervision, the Guidelines for Integrity and Self-discipline, the Guidelines for Political Life within the Party, the Regulations on Inspection Work, the Regulations on Disciplinary Punishment, the Regulations on Accountability and other intra-Party regulations. The National People's Congress has revised and adopted the Constitution (Amendment), the Supervision Law, the Criminal Procedure Law, and the Criminal Law Amendment. We have deepened the reform of the national supervision system and achieved full coverage of public employees. ** The Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission established after the reform are co-located, realizing the reshaping of the anti-corruption leadership system, the reshaping of the organizational structure, the reshaping of the work force, the reshaping of the responsibility system, and the reshaping of the discipline and law enforcement mechanism. We have improved anti-corruption laws and regulations, deepened the intensity of anti-corruption in the system, and improved the level of anti-corruption in a legal and scientific manner, significantly releasing and enhancing the effectiveness of the anti-corruption system.
Second, advocating honesty in culture is a fundamental policy for building a strong ideological and moral defense line against corruption and degeneration.
The goal of advocating honesty is to advocate the value attitude and behavioral orientation of honest and honest government, and through various forms of integrity education, promote the publicity, education and practice activities of cultivating political ethics, professional ethics and public morality and self-discipline, and promote the values of integrity. The content of education includes political awareness, identity and responsibility, situation and policy, and discipline and law rules. Educational methods include warning and deterrence, demonstration and probation, self-learning, family cultivation, school guidance, and the supply and dissemination of honest cultural products. The education methods mainly include: first, inheriting, transforming and innovating the cultural resources of integrity in traditional Chinese culture, such as "talented, virtuous assets; Virtuous, talented and handsome", "for politics and morality", "straight and gentle, simple and incorruptible", "public life is bright, incorruptible and powerful" and so on. The second is to cultivate a positive and healthy political culture within the party. Supervise and urge party members and cadres to "show great morality, abide by public morality, and strict private morality", cultivate the noble character of forgetting public and selfishness, and the spiritual realm of honesty and self-discipline, and create a party style and government style of abiding by discipline and law, being honest in politics, and self-denial. Combine "emphasizing the rule of law and controlling chaos" with "self-cultivation with a righteous heart", take a multi-pronged approach, implement comprehensive policies, make good use of the four forms of supervision and discipline, and realize the unity of the rule of law and the rule of virtue, and other discipline and self-discipline. The third is to carry out the party's mass line education and practice activities, the theme education of "not forgetting the original intention and remembering the mission", and the study and education of party history, so as to inherit the red gene and establish correct values. Fourth, it is necessary to attach importance to propaganda and education, promote the unity of promoting a clean party style and government style, and the family style and people's style of respecting honesty and rejecting corruption, cultivate a clean and healthy atmosphere in society, and dispel the soil for the breeding and spread of corruption. Through the influence and education of the culture of integrity, we will enhance the initiative of "not wanting to be corrupt" and the consciousness of "not wanting to be corrupt", so as to realize the integrity of cadres, the highest level of integrity, political clarity and social cleanliness.
Third, insisting on the integrated promotion of the "three noes" is a work layout that realizes both the symptoms and the root causes with systematic thinking.
The first is to build a strong ideological defense line of "not wanting to be corrupt": discipline, grasp education, keep the bottom line, sound the alarm bell, and be in awe; resolutely oppose the phenomenon of privileged ideology and privilege; Strengthen the building of a culture of anti-corruption and clean government. The second is to strengthen the punishment mechanism of "dare not be corrupt": adhere to no forbidden areas, full coverage, zero tolerance, adhere to heavy containment, strong pressure, and long-term deterrence; Under fierce medicine, use heavy codes, and maintain the strong anti-corruption force to "fight tigers", "swatting flies" and "hunting foxes"; Rectify the problem of corruption around the masses and severely punish the "protective umbrella" of underworld forces. The third is to improve the guarantee mechanism of "no corruption": firmly establish the "system cage" and give full play to the joint efforts of supervision to control the operation of power. advancing national anti-corruption legislation; Strictly implement the responsibility system for fighting corruption and advocating clean government, leaving no gray areas; keep an eye on the "critical minority"; prevent the formation of interest groups within the party; Promote the joint investigation of bribery, and build a new type of political and business relationship of "pro" and "clean". Through the integrated efforts to promote punishment and deterrence, institutional constraints, and raising awareness, we have deepened the comprehensive policy of taking cases as examples, promoting reform and treatment through cases, and taking both punishment and prevention to achieve anti-corruption results.
Fourth, a scientific and effective mechanism for supervising and restraining power is the basic requirement for fighting corruption and promoting clean government, improving quality and efficiency.
First, it is necessary to strengthen the restraint and supervision of the exercise of power and put power in the cage of the system. Second, it is necessary to strengthen top-down organizational supervision, improve bottom-up democratic supervision, give play to the role of mutual supervision at the same level, and strengthen daily supervision over party-member leading cadres. The third is to deepen political inspections and establish a supervision network that links inspections and inspections. Fourth, the establishment of national, provincial, municipal, and county supervision commissions to achieve full coverage of the supervision of public employees. Fifth, a national supervision law has been enacted, giving the Supervision Commission its duties and powers and investigative methods in accordance with law. Sixth, reform the audit management system and improve the statistical system. Seventh, build a unified command, comprehensive coverage, authoritative and efficient supervision system of the party, with intra-party discipline inspection and supervision and inspection supervision as the leading, and integrate intra-party supervision with the supervision of state organs, democratic supervision, judicial supervision, mass supervision, and supervision, and enhance the joint force of supervision. Improving the comprehensive power supervision mechanism and giving full play to the coordination and supervision of the party's leadership are the basic requirements for power supervision and the transformation of the effectiveness of supervision.
Fifth, the courage to struggle is a powerful means to curb all corruption and play a warning and deterrent role.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, with the mission of "offending thousands of people and living up to 1.4 billion", it has taken on the task of eliminating chaos and disorder, and has carried out an unprecedented anti-corruption struggle with a clear banner, advancing step by step and making unremitting efforts. We should comprehensively use the methods of politics, discipline, and the rule of law to resolutely investigate and deal with corruption cases in which political and economic problems are intertwined, resolutely eliminate corrupt elements who do not rein in and do not stop, and investigate and deal with a number of cases of serious violations of discipline and law by the children and relatives of leading cadres that have accumulated over the years. Carry out special rectification campaigns in the fields of finance, politics and law, discipline inspection, and state-owned enterprises, and punish "micro-corruption" in the fields of poverty alleviation and people's livelihood, as well as corruption related to organized crime and vice, and their "protective umbrellas". The deterrent effect of not daring to be corrupt has been fully revealed, the cage of the system that cannot be corrupted is finely woven, the idea of not wanting to be corrupt is consciously internalized in the heart, and the obsession of not reining in and not stopping is increasingly abandoned, the implementation of reducing stocks and curbing increments has been effective and remarkable, and the momentum of the spread of corruption has been resolutely curbed.
