BEIJING: The Communist Party of China believes that its commitment to continuously improve conduct and enforce discipline is a major reason it has won the full support of the people.
In a report to the 20th National Congress of the CPC, the Party said that it will take steps to improve conduct and enforce discipline, reflecting its firm determination to ensure full, rigorous Party governance. According to Xiao Pei, deputy head of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and vice-chairman of the National Commission of Supervision, this is the Party’s strategic plan.
Full, rigorous self-governance began with the formulation and implementation of the central leadership’s Eight-Point Decision on improving conduct, shortly after the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012.
It tasks officials with practicing frugality and eradicating undesirable work styles, including doing better research and analysis and understanding actual conditions when doing grassroots-level studies, streamlining meetings and improving the way they are conducted, making documents and briefing papers more concise and improving writing style.
Over the past decade, disciplinary inspection authorities have investigated over 761,000 cases in violation of the eight-point frugality code, including cases related to 265 officials under the management of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee.
