  According to public reports, nearly 20 middle-ranking cadres were put on file for review, more than 30 provincial and ministerial cadres were tried, and more than half of the "100 Hongtong" personnel were brought to justice … … 2017 is a crucial year for strictly administering the Party and punishing corruption in an all-round way. A series of historical changes are taking place behind a string of data.

  Aspect 1: Nearly 20 middle-ranking cadres were put on file for review — — The goal of winning an overwhelming victory is firm

  According to the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, at present, the situation of the anti-corruption struggle is still severe and complicated, and the determination to consolidate the overwhelming situation and win the overwhelming victory must be rock-solid.

  In the first nine months of this year, the national discipline inspection and supervision organs filed 383,000 cases and punished 338,000 people, including 56 cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels, more than 2,300 cadres at the bureau level, 14,000 cadres at the county level, 51,000 cadres at the township level, 63,000 ordinary cadres and 208,000 others in rural areas and enterprises. After the 19th National Congress, Lu Wei, Liu Qiang, Zhang Yang and other high-ranking officials were dismissed, showing that strictly administering the party in an all-round way will not relax and rest. Since the beginning of this year, nearly 20 middle-ranking cadres, including Sun Zhengcai, Wang Sanyun and Xiang Junbo, have been put on file for review by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

  Gao Bo, deputy head of the Discipline Inspection Team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that with a new journey and a new mission, the CPC Central Committee has used practical actions to release a strong signal to the whole society that the anti-corruption efforts are undiminished and the pace remains unchanged.

  He said that the person in charge of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection at the 19 th National Congress revealed that the focus of punishment in the future is clearly those leading cadres who have not converged or stopped since the 18 th National Congress, whose problems and clues have been concentrated and strongly reflected by the masses, and who are now in important positions and may be promoted and used.

  Aspect 2: Investigate and deal with 37,824 violations of the eight regulations — — Perseverance in improving work style in the new era

  Recently, the website of the Supervision Department of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection produced and launched a short video of "You don’t have to, you can", which triggered a heated discussion among the public on the great changes in the party style and political style brought about by the eight regulations.

  Persevere in improving the style of work in the new era. This is a clear signal released at the 19th the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee Conference at the end of October when it deliberated the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Eight Central Provisions in the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee.

  In the first 10 months of 2017, 37,824 cases of mental problems violating the eight central regulations were investigated and dealt with nationwide, with 53,195 people being dealt with and 37,289 people being given disciplinary sanctions.

  According to the revised implementation rules, we will focus on the new situations and problems encountered in the implementation of the eight central regulations in recent years, focusing on further standardizing, refining and perfecting the aspects of improving investigation and research, streamlining meeting activities, streamlining document briefings, standardizing overseas visits, improving news reports, and practicing thrift.

  Wang Xu, a professor at the Law School of Renmin University of China, believes that the construction of work style is always on the road. We should carry forward the spirit of nailing, pay close attention to new trends, focus on solving the problems strongly reflected by the people, and never let the "four winds" rebound.

  Aspect 3: More than half of the "100 Red Cross" were brought to justice — — Overseas pursuit and recovery has achieved remarkable results.

  On December 7, with Li Wenge, a former staff member of the State Taxation Bureau of Panlong District, Kunming, Yunnan, brought to justice, more than half of the "100 Hongtong" personnel were brought to justice. This is the 14th "100 Red Cross" personnel brought to justice this year, and the third after the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. As of October 2017, China has recovered 3,587 fugitives from more than 90 countries and regions, and recovered 9.541 billion yuan of illicit money.

  At present, the pursuit of "spreading the net" has been further expanded with the international cooperation against corruption. By setting up anti-escape procedures, regularly cleaning up "naked officials", checking personal reports on related matters, strictly implementing the system of entry and exit documents management and approval and filing, and launching special actions to crack down on the use of underground banks and offshore companies to transfer stolen money, the number of new fugitives has dropped sharply.

  According to the work report of the 18th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the number of new fugitives dropped from 101 in 2014 to 31 in 2015, 19 in 2016 and 4 from January to September 2017.

  Huang Feng, director of the Institute of International Criminal Law of Beijing Normal University, believes that the next step should continue to play the role of persuasion, strengthen international cooperation to form effective pressure, and at the same time strengthen memorial service.

  Aspect 4: Complete the 12th Central Patrol — — The inspection system has become more perfect.

  The newly revised party constitution has clearly defined the requirements for achieving full coverage of inspections within a term of office, and written inspections by central and state organs and departments, and inspections by cities and counties into party constitution, providing institutional guarantee for conducting inspections according to discipline and regulations and promoting the in-depth development of inspections.

  In August this year, with the announcement of the rectification of the twelfth round of inspections, the 18th Central Inspection came to a successful conclusion. Twelve rounds of central inspections conducted a "political physical examination" of 277 local and unit party organizations, and the full coverage of central inspections during a term of office was realized for the first time in the history of the party. Driven by the central inspection, the party committees of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have also completed the comprehensive inspection tasks of Party organizations of 8,362 localities, departments, enterprises and institutions.

  Wang Yukai, a professor at the National School of Administration, said that statistics from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection showed that since the 18th CPC National Congress, more than 60% of the middle-ranking cadres who were examined by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection came from inspections. In the future, while further strengthening the institutionalization of inspections, it is necessary to strengthen the seamless docking of inspections and inspections, and form a supervision network that is linked up and down.

  Aspect 5: 3 provinces and cities will be promoted to the whole country on the basis of pilot projects — — Deepen the reform of the national supervision system

  The report of the 19th National Congress proposed to deepen the reform of the national supervision system and push the pilot work across the country. Formulate the national supervision law, endow the supervision committee with responsibilities, authority and investigation means according to law, and replace the "two regulations" measures with lien.

  On November 7, the draft of the supervision law, which attracted much attention, was first published and solicited opinions from the society. The draft stipulates a series of major issues in state supervision, including making it clear that the supervisory commission of the People’s Republic of China is the highest state supervision organ, which is produced by the National People’s Congress and is responsible for it. It will supervise six categories of public officials and make it clear that the supervisory commission can take 12 measures such as lien.

  On the basis of the pilot projects in Beijing, Shanxi and Zhejiang provinces, the pilot reform of the national supervision system is being carried out all over the country. With the change of local people’s congresses at the end of this year and early next year, three levels of supervisory committees in provinces, cities and counties will be established one after another. According to the plan, during the National People’s Congress and the National People’s Congress next March, the State Supervision Law will be passed and the the National Supervisory Commission (NSC) will be established.

  Ma Huaide, vice-president of China University of Political Science and Law, said that as an anti-corruption working body under the unified leadership of the Party, the establishment of the supervisory committee is to learn from the experience of ancient and modern China and foreign countries, and make new adjustments to the allocation of state power according to the actual institutional innovation of keeping pace with the times in China, which will achieve full coverage of all public officials exercising public power and form an effective anti-corruption system and mechanism.
