BEIJING: The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China recently released revised regulations on Party disciplinary inspections that attached greater importance to supervising Party chiefs at different levels and in different sectors.
An official from the Central Leading Group for Inspection Work said in a statement released on Thursday that the revised regulations “sharpened the sword” to fight corruption.
“They have intensified the efforts to see if the Party chiefs have followed the Party disciplines and executed their power in accordance with the law,” the official said. “Also, thorough investigations are required to be carried out if problems are found.”
The regulations hold significant importance in promoting the high-quality development of the inspections, further improving the institutions, mechanisms and responsibility system to constantly deter officials from being corrupted, the official added.
A circular issued by the CPC Central Committee on Thursday said the regulations urge efforts to conduct concrete, targeted and regular discipline inspections. They also clarify the leadership system, working mechanism and primary responsibilities of discipline inspection work.
They say responsibilities for the rectification of any issues discovered in the course of inspection work should be clearly defined, and the rectification mechanism should be improved. –The Daily Mail-China Daily news exchange item
