The first round of central inspection after the 19th National Congress, these new highlights are worthy of attention.

On February 2nd, The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) of the Communist Party of China and Zhao Leji, leader of the Central Inspection Work Leading Group, attended the mobilization and deployment meeting of the first round of inspection work of the 19th Central Committee in Beijing and delivered a speech.

A few days ago, the first round of inspections by the 19th Central Committee announced the news that 30 party organizations had been inspected. Compared with the past, what are the new highlights of the new patrol? Below, we will analyze the relevant information revealed through the mobilization deployment meeting.

◎ The intensity is not reduced, and the pace is unchanged. The main leaders of four teams in sub-provincial cities are included in the scope of central inspections for the first time.

As you may remember, the first round of inspections of the 18th Central Committee was launched in May 2013. In that year, only two rounds of central inspections were conducted, and only 10 party organizations were inspected in each round, and only 20 party organizations were inspected throughout the year. The patrol was deployed and mobilized before the Spring Festival, which was less than three months after the closing of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and less than one month after the second plenary session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, which fully reflected the efforts of the central patrol and the same pace.

Then, why is this round of inspections all routine inspections, without special inspections, "looking back" and motorized inspections? According to Article 2 of the Regulations on Inspection Work in the Communist Party of China (CPC) (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations) revised on July 1, 2017, the inspection agencies at the central and provincial levels should "conduct a comprehensive inspection of the local, departmental, enterprise and institution party organizations under their management within one term". Therefore, this round is the "starting from the beginning" of the new central inspection work after the 19 th National Congress, and naturally it cannot be "looking back". Conventional patrol takes longer than special patrol and motorized patrol, and the patrol content is more comprehensive.Not just focusing on a certain key area, it is equivalent to a comprehensive CT scan of the inspected party organizations. It is very necessary to "take the lead" with routine inspections for the start of the new inspection work.

Careful people also found that this round of inspections specifically emphasized that the party committees of 10 sub-provincial cities, including Shenyang, and the main leaders of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, the government, and the CPPCC party group involved in the first round of inspections were included in the scope of inspections. This is in accordance with the provisions of Article 13 of the Regulations. Since the "Regulations" were revised in July 2017, the twelfth round of the 18 th Central Committee has been stationed. This round of inspections is the first round of inspections after the latest version of the "Regulations" came into effect, so there will be this new change.

◎ Strengthen the positioning of political inspections, and unhealthy trends around the masses have become the new content of inspections.

At the mobilization meeting, The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) of the Communist Party of China and Zhao Leji, leader of the Central Inspection Work Leading Group, stressed that to do a good job in the inspection work in the new era, we should firmly grasp the orientation of political inspection, consciously adhere to the guidance of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, resolutely safeguard the core position of the CPC Central Committee and the whole party, and resolutely safeguard the authority and centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee. It is necessary to thoroughly supervise and inspect the implementation of the "Four Consciousnesses" by party organizations at all levels and leading cadres in party member, and the implementation of the spirit of party constitution and the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, so as to ensure the unity of will, actions and pace of progress of the whole Party.

Yang Xiaochao, a member of the Central Leading Group for Inspection Work, also pointed out that it is necessary to resolutely implement the requirements of political inspection, highlight the overall leadership of the Party from a political perspective, grasp the Party’s construction from a political perspective, focus on the comprehensive and strict administration of the Party from a political perspective, take the "four consciousnesses" as the political benchmark, adhere to the problem orientation, keep an eye on the "key minority", find out political deviations, and urge party organizations at all levels to strengthen their political responsibility of managing the Party and give full play to the role of political "searchlight" and "microscope".

Political patrol is one of the major theoretical and practical innovations of the 18th Central Committee’s patrol work, which makes it clear that "patrol is a patrol of party organizations and leading cadres in party member, a political patrol rather than a business patrol". The newly revised "Regulations" also explicitly includes political patrol. It is certain that the patrol work in the future will further adhere to the orientation of political patrol, and focus on finding the deep-seated problems in political loyalty, political responsibility and political ecology of the party organizations and leading cadres in party member in comparison with the "seven haves" and "five musts".

It is worth noting that Zhao Leji stressed that efforts should be made to discover outstanding problems such as violation of political discipline and rules, corruption of leading cadres, unhealthy practices around the masses, violation of the spirit of the eight central regulations, cadres’ inaction, and illegal selection and employment.Among them, "unhealthy trends around the masses" has become the focus of the central inspection, which is the first time in recent years.

Some people may wonder, isn’t the object of the central inspection mainly the middle-ranking cadres, especially the leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels? It seems a little far away from fighting "tigers" and "flies" and rectifying corruption and unhealthy practices around the masses! At the second plenary session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader delivered an important speech, pointing out that it is necessary to promote the comprehensive and strict administration of the Party to the grassroots level and severely rectify the corruption problems that occur around the masses.It is necessary to combine the elimination of evil with anti-corruption, not only to grasp the triad-related organizations, but also to grasp the "umbrella" behind them.Although the central inspection targets senior leading cadres, their work is also closely related to the unhealthy trend of the masses and corruption: their own integrity and style of work directly affect the political ecology and social atmosphere of their own units in the region. Therefore, the inspection team should sink to the next level or even go deep into the people’s side, understand what the people are most dissatisfied with and reflect the most strongly, understand the political ecology of the inspected area or unit, fundamentally discover the essence of the problem, and effectively enhance the people’s sense of gain.

◎ "Finding problems is the lifeline, and promoting problem solving is the foothold", and strengthening the implementation of rectification and the application of results.

Zhao Leji also made a meaningful remark at the deployment meeting: "Finding problems is the lifeline, and promoting problem solving is the foothold".

Indeed, the key reason why the 18th Central Committee’s patrol attracted great attention from the society was that it found a series of clues about "tigers" and pointed out a large number of problems in the inspected areas and units. According to statistics, since the 18th National Congress, more than 60% of the cases examined by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection have come from inspections, especially a group of "tigers" such as Su Rong, Wang Min and Huang Xingguo have been dug up, exposing the cases of corruption in Shanxi, election sabotage in Hengyang, Hunan, canvassing and bribery in Nanchong, Sichuan, and bribery in Liaoning, which have generated strong social repercussions. In order to continue to highlight the role of the new patrol sword, we must constantly innovate ways and means to dig out valuable clues.

Therefore, this round of patrols broke the routine and adopted a "mixed play"No longer in accordance with the last "plate rotation" mode, the 30 local and unit party organizations inspected include 14 provinces (regions), 8 central state organs and 8 central enterprises.It is unexpected that the patrol object is not based on the "time distance" of the last patrol.For example, Henan, which will be patrolled this round, has been patrolled by the central government for the third time in four years. The most recent time was in July 2016, which became the object of the tenth round of the 18 th Central Committee.This fully shows that the patrol is not a "one-stop patrol". It is necessary to constantly introduce the new and let the inspected units have no rules to follow to ensure that the shock is always there.

On the other hand, finding problems is to solve problems. Patrol is not only to find out "tigers", but also to find out the most urgent problems in the political ecology of the inspected areas and units, and to urge the inspected party organizations to effectively assume the main responsibility and rectify in time, fundamentally reverse the political ecology, curb the breeding and spread of corruption, and build the party’s ruling foundation. Therefore,It is particularly important to strengthen the implementation of rectification and the application of results and do a good job in patrolling the "second half of the article".

People who pay attention to the 18th Central Inspection Work should note that after each round of inspection, the rectification of the inspected areas and units should be made public to the public through the website of the Supervision Department of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection within a limited time, and contact numbers and email addresses should be left for public supervision. However, another phenomenon worthy of attention is that the format of rectification materials published by each region and unit is not uniform and detailed, and some directly report figures, list and give specific rectification results for problems found during inspections; Others are vague and vague about the questions raised by the inspection team, and even some of them summarize their recent work and praise themselves in disguise. It is difficult to see what substantive rectification they have made to the problems found. In addition, during the "looking back" of 16 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), the patrol feedback found that the inspected party organizations failed to rectify the problems found in the last round of inspections. Therefore, the re-supervision of the implementation of the rectification and the application of the rectification results need to be further improved in this patrol.

Starting from a new starting point, we have reason to believe that the 19th Central Inspection will continue to polish the sword hanging high, bring more surprises to everyone, and play a better role in promoting the political ecology of the inspected party organizations.
