The Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of communist party, China will be held in Beijing from October 24th to 27th. At that time, the plenary session will review the draft document of the Regulations on Inner-Party Supervision in the Communist Party of China (CPC). Inner-party supervision is one of the key measures to keep the party healthy and purify the political ecology. Only by strengthening inner-party supervision, bearing in mind that the right must be responsible and the right to use it is supervised, can we move forward, treat both the symptoms and the root causes, and promote the comprehensive and strict administration of the party. The micro-platform of the Party Construction Network has sorted out some important expositions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on strengthening inner-party supervision, and studied together!
Why emphasize supervision?
The party must be strict.
If the party is not well managed and lax, and the outstanding problems within the party that are strongly reflected by the people are not solved, then our party will lose its ruling qualification sooner or later and will inevitably be eliminated by history. To manage the party, we must be strict with the word, implement strict requirements in the whole process, and be really strict, dare to be strict, and be long-term and strict.
— — On July 1, 2016, the Supreme Leader’s speech at the celebration of the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC).
The more powerful party member cadres are, the more they should be managed and supervised.
The more powerful cadres in party member are, the more they are subject to strict management and supervision. It is not enough to touch the tiger’s ass. We should not neglect the selection, employment and management of people. One of the big problems now is that the people who choose people don’t care about people, don’t supervise people, and some party committees don’t care about supervision. When cadres have an accident, they will be handed over to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. This is not acceptable. Party committees should shoulder the main responsibility of building a clean and honest party style, choose and use cadres well, and manage cadres well.

Accountability for supervision and discipline is the fundamental responsibility given to the discipline inspection organs by party constitution.
Accountability for supervision and discipline is the fundamental duty entrusted to the discipline inspection organs by party constitution. Disciplinary committees at all levels should identify the functional orientation in the comprehensive and strict administration of the party, strengthen supervision and discipline, and increase accountability. It is necessary to take the opportunity of implementing the Code of Integrity and Self-discipline in the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Regulations on Disciplinary Actions in the Communist Party of China (CPC), explore and establish an effective mechanism that does not dare to corrupt, cannot corrupt and does not want to corrupt, and provide a strong discipline guarantee for promoting the comprehensive and strict administration of the party and coordinating the promotion of the "four comprehensive" strategic layout.

The power without supervision will inevitably lead to corruption.
It is necessary to strengthen the regular management and supervision of cadres and form strict constraints on cadres. It is an iron law that power without supervision will inevitably lead to corruption. It is not easy to train cadres organizationally. It is necessary to manage and supervise them well, so that they will always be alert to walking on thin ice.

How to strengthen supervision

To strengthen inner-party supervision, we must adhere to, improve and implement democratic centralism, organically combine centralism on the basis of democracy with democracy under centralized guidance, fully mobilize the supervision of superiors to subordinates, among peers and subordinates to superiors, and ensure that inner-party supervision is implemented and effective.

Strengthen inner-party supervision and do a good job in the top-level design of the supervision system.
It is necessary to combine inner-party supervision with state supervision and mass supervision, and coordinate with legal supervision, democratic supervision, audit supervision, judicial supervision and public opinion supervision to form a joint force of supervision and promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity.
— — Speech by the Supreme Leader at the Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on January 12, 2016
Party organizations at all levels should conscientiously act according to party constitution, strictly regulate the management and supervision of party organizations, party member cadres, especially leading cadres, and inner-party political life, systematize the content, improve the measures, and link up the links so as not to miss people, lack items, or lose links, so that existing problems can be discovered in time, problems found can be solved in time, and a problem can be solved by analogy.
— — November 1, 2014 — On the 2 nd, the supreme leader stressed during the investigation in Fujian.
Strengthen inner-party supervision and seize the "key minority"
Party organizations at all levels should set up more supervision "probes" so that the top leaders can be under the supervision of Party organizations, party member and the masses. The supervision of superiors to subordinates, especially the supervision of superiors to subordinates, is the most useful and effective. Party organizations at higher levels should know more about the daily thinking, work and living conditions of the top leaders at lower levels, pay more attention to the reflection of cadres and the masses on the problems of the top leaders at lower levels, and listen to the opinions of the members of the leading bodies at lower levels on the top leaders. Party member and cadres can supervise the top leaders at party meetings, promotion of cadres, debriefing of leading cadres and other links.

Strengthen inner-party supervision and implement the "two responsibility"
Implement the main responsibility of the party Committee and the supervision responsibility of the discipline inspection commission, and strengthen accountability. A very important aspect of the reform of anti-corruption system and mechanism is to clarify and implement responsibilities. Without accountability, even the best system will become a paper tiger and a scarecrow. The Third Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee proposed that the Party Committee should take the main responsibility and the Commission for Discipline Inspection should take the supervisory responsibility to implement the responsibility system for building a clean and honest party style.

Strengthen inner-party supervision and play the role of patrolling the sword
The greater the power, the more likely it is to appear "black under the lamp." To strengthen inner-party supervision, we must first manage the central and state organs well. The supervision of accredited institutions is an important part of the supervision system of the party and the state. We implement the combination of separate accreditation and comprehensive accreditation to realize the comprehensive accreditation of party and state organs at the central level. The accredited institutions have strengthened supervision and accountability, and the authority of the "faction" and the advantages of "resident" have been significantly enhanced.
— — Speech by the Supreme Leader at the Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on January 12, 2016
The universality and tendentiousness problems found in inspections should be promptly fed back to the party committees of localities, departments, enterprises and institutions, and the main responsibility should be urged to be implemented, and the system loopholes should be plugged. The main responsible comrades should plant their own fields of responsibility, and it is a serious dereliction of duty not to pay attention to the construction of party style and clean government. The localities, departments and units that are not in place for inspection and rectification should seize the typical examples and be seriously accountable. The rectification situation should be supervised by the party and society in an appropriate way, so as to enhance the confidence of the masses and improve the effectiveness of inspections.
— — On January 23, 2014, the Supreme Leader listened to the report of the Central Leading Group for Inspection Work in the second half of 2013 in The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC).
Strengthen inner-party supervision and improve the accountability mechanism
Adhere to the responsibility to ask, accountability must be strict, and organically combine supervision and inspection, target assessment and accountability to form a strong driving force for the implementation of laws and regulations. The contents, objects, matters, subjects, procedures and methods of accountability should be institutionalized and programmed. Accountability should not only be for things, but also for people, and should be asked about specific people.
— — On June 26, 2015, the Supreme Leader’s speech at the 24th collective study in the 18th the Political Bureau of the Central Committee.
Strengthening inner-party supervision, discipline inspection and supervision organs should prevent "darkness under the lamp"
It is necessary to educate and guide the broad masses of discipline inspection and supervision cadres to dare to take responsibility, dare to supervise and dare to be responsible, firmly establish political beliefs loyal to the party and the cause of discipline inspection and supervision, and strive to become a loyal, clean and responsible discipline inspection and supervision team. Discipline inspection and supervision organs should prevent "black under the lamp", seriously deal with outstanding problems such as seeking personal gains by cases, colluding with others, and leaking air, and clean up the portal so as to strike while the iron is hot.
— — Speech by the Supreme Leader at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on January 13th, 2015
Strengthen inner-party supervision and make good use of criticism and self-criticism.
We demand that we open the door to engage in activities, carry out criticism and self-criticism, do not beat around the bush, go straight to the point, give advice with real swords and spears, and help comrades with enthusiasm, so as to have the effect of blushing, sweating, touching the mind and touching the soul.
