新时代中国特色社会主义思想 (Socialism With Chinese Characteristics in the New Era): Briefing on Party Self Supervision Reform



Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the NewEra--新时代中国特色社会主义思想--that is the central theme of the Report delivered by Xi Jinpin during the 19th Chinese Communist Party Congress in Beijing. This Report will prove especially important for the development of key concepts of Chinese Communist Party principles and the forward organization of the state apparatus and the principles under which policy decisions will be made.

Over the next week or so I will be posting about portions of the Report and then providing some reflections.  We are organizing a Rountable on the 19th CCP Congress as well for the the first week of November.

This post includes some of the key provisions of the Report. The Briefing of Xi’s Report to the 19th CPC National Congress focused on supervision systems (Miaoqiang Dai translating) includes the key provisions for Communist Party supervision, that is for the development of new mechanisms for Communist Party discipline in the New Era.  There is much here to unpack. The ENGLISH and Chinese versions follow.

新时代中国特色社会主义思想

Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in New Era



【市县党委建立巡察制度】

Establishing visitatorial supervision system in Party Committees at municipal and county level

当前,反腐败斗争形势依然严峻复杂,巩固压倒性态势、夺取压倒性胜利的决心必须坚如磐石。要坚持无禁区、全覆盖、零容忍,坚持重遏制、强高压、长震慑,坚持受贿行贿一起查,坚决防止党内形成利益集团。在市县党委建立巡察制度,加大整治群众身边腐败问题力度。不管腐败分子逃到哪里,都要缉拿归案、绳之以法。

At the present state, the anti-corruption campaign is still facing significant complexity and difficulty, we need to be firmly determined in consolidating the overwhelming stance and secure overwhelming victory. We need to stick to the anti-corruption campaign with full coverage and no exclusion zone neither tolerance. We need to stick to the anti-corruption campaign with emphasizing on containment, the exertion of high pressure, and long last frightening. We need to stick to an investigation that covers both the giving and the taking sides of bribery, making sure that there is no interest group emerge within the party. We need to establish visitatorial supervision system in Party Committees at municipal and county level, strengthen the punishment for corruption around our people. We are going to bring those corrupt officials to justice wherever they fled to.



On Party and National Supervision System

【国家监察法】

National Supervision Law

健全党和国家监督体系。增强党自我净化能力,根本靠强化党的自我监督和群众监督。要加强对权力运行的制约和监督,让人民监督权力,让权力在阳光下运行,把权力关进制度的笼子。强化自上而下的组织监督,改进自下而上的民主监督,发挥同级相互监督作用,加强对党员领导干部的日常管理监督。深化政治巡视,坚持发现问题、形成震慑不动摇,建立巡视巡察上下联动的监督网。深化国家监察体制改革,将试点工作在全国推开,组建国家、省、市、县监察委员会,同党的纪律检查机关合署办公,实现对所有行使公权力的公职人员监察全覆盖。制定国家监察法,依法赋予监察委员会职责权限和调查手段,用留置取代“两规”措施。改革审计管理体制,完善统计体制。构建党统一指挥、全面覆盖、权威高效的监督体系,把党内监督同国家机关监督、民主监督、司法监督、群众监督、舆论监督贯通起来,增强监督合力。

We should complete the party and the national supervision system. To enhance the party’s self-purifying capability, we need to enhance the party’s self-supervision and supervision from the people. We should enhance restriction and supervision on power, let the people supervise power and let the power operates under the sunshine and within the cage of regulations. We should strengthen the organizational supervision which comes from top to bottom, improve democratic supervision which comes from bottom to top, give play to mutual supervision among peers, and enhance daily supervision over leading cadres of party members. We should deepen political visitatorial supervision, stick to the aim of finding problems and frightening, establish supervision network in which visitatorial supervision on different levels could be linked and interact with each other. We should deepen national supervision system reform. (To put it precisely) we should spread the pilot projects to the whole nation, establish supervision committee at national, provincial, municipal, and county level. Those supervision committees should merge office and work with the party’s discipline inspection organs, covering supervision over all public servants who exercise public power. We should make the National Supervision Law, empower the Supervision Committee with duties and inspection means according to the law, employ Detention to replace ShuangguiI. We should reform the management system for audit and complete statistics system. We should establish a supervision system that is under the centralized instruction of the party, has a well-rounded coverage, authority and efficiency. We should connect supervision within the party with state’s organ’s supervision, democratic supervision, judicial supervision, the people’s supervision and the public opinion’s supervision so that we can enhance the joint power of supervision.





【风险防控机制】

Risk prevention and control mechanism

增强驾驭风险本领,健全各方面风险防控机制,善于处理各种复杂矛盾,勇于战胜前进道路上的各种艰难险阻,牢牢把握工作主动权。

We should enhance our capability to control risk, complete risk prevention and control mechanism at each aspect. We should deal effectively with each kind of complex conflicts, be brave to conquer difficulties on our way to success and hold firm to the initiative right to take action in our work.
