Q: The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward new and higher requirements for inspection work. How can the first round of inspection work of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China be guided by Xi Jinping's thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era and the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, continue to deepen political inspection, and better play the role of a sword?
Deepening the political inspection tour under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is to unswervingly maintain the core position of General Secretary Xi Jinping, maintain the authority of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and centralized and unified leadership. These "two maintenance" are the fundamental political tasks of the political inspection tour.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has attached great importance to the inspection work. General Secretary Xi Jinping has made a profound and systematic discussion on the orientation, basic principles, working principles, key tasks, methods, team building, etc. of the inspection work, which has pointed out the direction of progress and provided fundamental guidance for us to do a good job of political inspection work in the new era.
In particular, at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core made a new major deployment to comprehensively and strictly govern the Party in the new era from the perspective of the historical mission of the Party. It proposed that "we should deepen political patrols, persist in finding problems, form an unshakeable deterrent, and establish a supervision network that links up patrols up and down.", The patrol sword fully demonstrates its function.
At the beginning of this year, the CPC Central Committee formulated the Central Inspection Work Plan (2018-2022), which systematically planned the "roadmap" and "mission statement" of the inspection work in the next five years. At the meeting held in May this year to promote the implementation of the Central Inspection Work Plan, Comrade Zhao Leji, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and leader of the Central Inspection Work Leading Group, stressed that it is necessary to resolutely maintain the core position of General Secretary Xi Jinping, safeguard the authority of the Party Central Committee and the unified leadership of the Central Committee, highlighting that this is the fundamental political task of the inspection work. It is required to thoroughly study and implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, firmly establish the "Four Consciousness", adhere to the positioning of political inspection functions, and consciously assume the major political responsibility of "Two Safeguards".
From February to May 2018, the 19th CPC Central Committee organized the first round of inspections, and the CPC Central Committee fully affirmed the first round of inspections. The first round of inspection tour of the 19th Central Committee fully confirmed that comprehensive and strict governance of the Party is always on the way, and the overwhelming trend of the anti-corruption struggle has been formed and consolidated. However, the situation is still serious and complex. There are a lot of corruption problems in stock, and the increase is still taking place. The phenomenon of no stop and no convergence has not been completely curbed. Problems in different fields, at different times, and at different levels show different characteristics.
In the first round of inspection of the 19th Central Committee, the Central Inspection Leading Group authorized me to serve as the leader of the second inspection group of the Central Committee. I deeply feel the glorious mission and great responsibility. I understand that the process of deepening the political inspection tour is a complete process of strengthening the Party's leadership, building the Party, and comprehensively and strictly governing the Party. Completing the central inspection work is the common political responsibility of the central inspection team and the inspected party organization. Only by improving their political positions and taking Xi Jinping's thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era as the guide, can both sides work together to do a comprehensive "political inspection" and a comprehensive "sweeping" of the political ecology of the inspected units.
Q: Patrol inspection is a strategic institutional arrangement for inner-party supervision. The mission of the Central Inspection Group is sacred and glorious, and the vast number of party members, cadres and the people place high hopes on it. How does the Central Inspection Group improve its political position and political awareness, so that the inspection team can effectively play the role of political "microscope" and political "searchlight"?
As the ruling party, it is crucial for our party to solve the problem of self supervision and self revolution and ensure long-term governance. The practice and exploration in recent years have shown that patrol inspection has become a strategic institutional arrangement for inner-party supervision. General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed that the inspection tour should highlight the overall leadership of the Party at the political height, grasp the Party's construction at the political requirements, and focus on comprehensively and strictly governing the Party at the political orientation. Only by taking the political construction of the Party as the guide and taking the maintenance of the core position of General Secretary Xi Jinping, the authority of the Central Committee of the Party and centralized and unified leadership as the fundamental political task, can we solve the problem of political position and political awareness.
In our inspection work, the "four consciousnesses" are political benchmarks, to find out the political deviation of the inspected party organizations, to promote the party organizations at all levels to strengthen the political responsibility of managing the party, and to play the role of political "microscope" and political "searchlight" of inspection.
To constantly improve the political position of the inspection team, we must put constant learning and understanding of Xi Jinping's thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era and the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in the first place. It means "forging iron must be hard".
During the three months of inspection, we carefully learned about all aspects of the inspected party organization as soon as possible, and planned a series of learning and discussion activities for the party branch of the inspection team in combination with the actual situation. The group leaders and members of the group affairs committee, starting from the fundamental political task of "two maintenance", in terms of the political height, political requirements, and political positioning of the inspection tour, guided by the political construction of the party, designed five special topics and a series of professional training exchanges to accurately understand the spirit of the Central Committee, combined with the reality of each stage of the inspection tour, The style of leading the team runs through the whole process of inspection, which improves the political position and political awareness of the whole team, enhances the ability to view, catch and analyze problems politically, and improves the quality of inspection talks and the judgment to grasp problems. The political standards were used to test the political loyalty, political discrimination and political consciousness of party members and leading cadres at all levels, effectively playing the role of political physical examination, and at the same time exercising the patrol team.
We deeply realize that it is our concrete action to implement Xi Jinping's thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era and the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to go all out and do a good job of inspection work conscientiously and responsibly. Through practical work, we should continue to promote the implementation of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, continue to strengthen the political responsibility of managing the party, continue to maintain the high-pressure situation of punishing corruption, continue to correct the "four styles" problem, continue to purify the political ecology within the party, and strive to complete the task assigned to the inspection team by the CPC Central Committee.
We understand that the most fundamental reason why the inspection work can achieve remarkable results is that the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has a strong will and strong leadership, and that it has the guidance of the general requirements for party building in the new era proposed by Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, It is the important statement of General Secretary Xi Jinping on patrol work that provides fundamental guidance for the patrol work in the new era.
Q: Politically, such issues as "two faced people", "seven haves" and "mountain stronghold doctrine" seriously jeopardize the Party's unity and undermine its centralization and unity. In the inspection work, how to adhere to the leadership of the party's political construction and deepen the fundamental political task of "two maintenance"?
Since ancient times, one of the common reasons for the collapse or decline of major countries in the world is the loss of central authority and the inability to unify the country. If our Party is to remain a strong core of leadership in the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics and lead the people to realize the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we must ensure the unity of the Party. In essence, patrol inspection is a kind of political supervision, organizational supervision and discipline supervision. It has unique political advantages, political authority and political requirements, and is fundamentally responsible for "two maintenance".
During the inspection, we focused on the key minority, focused on the "double faced" in politics, resolutely looked for problems that were not clear, conscious, and loyal in maintaining the core position of General Secretary Xi Jinping, the authority of the CPC Central Committee, and centralized and unified leadership, and resolutely looked for problems that were conditional, discounted, selective, and flexible in implementing the decisions and arrangements of the Central Committee; Pay close attention to the political position and political ecology of the inspected party organization, strengthen the supervision and inspection of the implementation of the Party Constitution and other intra party laws and regulations, maintain a good political ecology, and urge the inspected party organization to implement the Party's line, principles and policies, the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Party, and major decisions and arrangements; We should highlight the Party's political discipline and rules, strictly investigate the "seven haves", "mountain stronghold doctrine" and other issues that endanger the Party's unity and undermine the Party's centralization and unity, and ensure that the inspected Party organizations always maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core in political stance, political direction, political principles, and political path.
Q: How can the Central Inspection Group adhere to the goal of strengthening the overall leadership of the Party, focus on prominent issues such as weak leadership of the Party, indifference of the Party's concept, and loose and soft management of the Party, and promote the Party organizations of the units under inspection to effectively play a leading role?
The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China stressed that the Party is the leader of the whole country in the study of the Party, the government, the army and the people. The most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the leadership of the Party, and the greatest advantage is also the leadership of the Party. Adhering to and strengthening the overall leadership of the Party is a major issue of orientation and concerns the future and destiny of the Party and the country. Adherence to the Party's overall leadership must be reflected in all work. This means that no matter which industry, field or region, we must adhere to the leadership of the Party, obey the command of the Party, and implement the Party's line, principles and policies. No work can be divorced from the leadership of the Party for any reason. Party committees (leading Party groups) at all levels should firmly obey the centralized and unified leadership of the Central Committee of the Party, and actively play the role of taking overall responsibility and coordinating all parties in their own departments and units in their own regions.
During the inspection, we took "adhering to and strengthening the overall leadership of the Party" as an important supervision content, focused on political position, political loyalty, political responsibility, and political ecology, and thoroughly checked whether the leading group of the inspected party organization is strong and powerful, whether it is in charge of the overall situation, coordinates all parties, and effectively plays the core role of the Party's leadership, Whether there is a vague and wrong understanding of the Party's overall leadership, whether the responsibility of keeping the direction, managing the overall situation and ensuring the implementation has been earnestly fulfilled, and whether efforts have been made to find prominent problems such as weak leadership of the Party, indifference of the Party's concept, and loose and soft management of the Party, urge the implementation of the responsibility of managing the Party, and improve and improve the Party's overall leadership system and mechanism. Through the inspection, the political position and political consciousness of the inspected party organizations have been significantly improved, and they can better play a political leading role in their work.
