Interpretation of ＂Regulations on Inner-Party Supervision in the Communist Party of China (CPC)＂ (I)

　　1. What is the background of the revision of the regulations? Why should we revise this internal party regulation?

　　Strengthening inner-party supervision is an important task put forward by our party from its historical position, internal and external situation and mission, focusing on upholding party leadership, strengthening party building, strictly administering the party in an all-round way and maintaining its advanced nature and purity. The Regulations on Inner-Party Supervision in the Communist Party of China (CPC) stipulates the guiding ideology, basic principles, supervision subjects, supervision contents, supervision objects and supervision methods of inner-party supervision, which provides a fundamental basis for strengthening inner-party supervision under the new situation.

　　Amending the regulations is an urgent need to uphold and strengthen the party’s leadership and realize the party’s historical mission in the new period. The leadership of the Party is the most essential feature of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. Our party is carrying out a great struggle with many new historical characteristics and shouldering the historical mission of realizing the goal of "two hundred years" and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese dream by the Chinese nation. At the same time, our party faces "four major tests" and "four dangers". The more arduous the task, the more severe the challenge, the more we must uphold the party’s leadership, strengthen party building, and strictly manage the party in an all-round way. Amending the regulations and improving the inner-party supervision system are conducive to solving the self-supervision problem under the long-term ruling condition of the Party, enhancing the Party’s ability of self-purification, self-perfection, self-innovation and self-improvement, consolidating the people’s confidence, trust and trust in the Party, laying a solid political foundation for the Party’s ruling, ensuring that the Party’s basic theory, basic line, basic program, basic experience and basic requirements are implemented, and ensuring that the Party will always become the strong leadership core of the cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

　　 Give full play to the party organization’s cohesion and combat effectiveness, and promote the management of the party from loose to hard.

　　Amending the regulations is an urgent need to adhere to the rule of the party and summarize and refine the new practice and experience of inner-party supervision. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has unswervingly promoted the comprehensive and strict administration of the Party, made active explorations in strengthening inner-party supervision, and accumulated rich and valuable experience. Eight regulations on improving work style and keeping close contact with the masses were formulated and promulgated. the Political Bureau of the Central Committee always set an example and strictly implemented them, and held special meetings to check the implementation, leading the whole party to implement the spirit of the eight central regulations. It is pointed out that managing the party is the most fundamental political responsibility, promoting party organizations at all levels to strengthen daily management and supervision, and earnestly shouldering the main responsibility of strictly administering the party. Adhere to the discipline ahead, strictly observe the party’s discipline, especially political discipline and rules, and practice the "four forms" of supervision and discipline. It is clear that the patrol is a political patrol, not a business patrol, and it plays the role of a patrol sword to find problems and form a shock. Realize the full coverage of stationed supervision, fully station the discipline inspection team to the party and state organs at the central level, and give full play to the authority of the "faction" and the advantages of "stationing". These innovative practices have deepened the connotation of inner-party supervision, enriched the forms of inner-party supervision, and played an important role in party building and comprehensive and strict management of the party. Revising the regulations and solidifying these achievements into a system in time is not only an important content to strengthen the construction of laws and regulations within the party, but also an inevitable requirement to ensure that the party is governed by rules and regulations.

　　2. The main process of revision.

　　At the Fifth and Sixth Plenary Sessions of the 18th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader put forward requirements for improving the inner-party supervision system, clarified the nature, status, role and institutional measures of inner-party supervision, and pointed out the direction for amending the regulations. According to the request of the General Secretary, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection held seven special meetings. Comrade Wang Qishan led relevant comrades to seriously study the important expositions of party constitution and the Supreme Leader General Secretary on inner-party supervision, and conducted research on more than 20 topics such as Marxist classic writers’ opinions on inner-party supervision, historical evolution of inner-party supervision, existing main problems and countermeasures, summed up the innovative practice of inner-party supervision in the history of the party, especially since the 18th Party Congress, sorted out the profound reflections in Confessions of Cadres in Serious Violations of Discipline and Law, and refined effective practical measures. Later, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made overall consideration of the work of strictly administering the Party in an all-round way and decided to include the revised regulations in the important agenda of the Sixth Plenary Session of the Eighteenth Central Committee of the Party. Since March this year, under the leadership of The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC), the revision of regulations and the formulation of standards have been carried out simultaneously.

　　On March 1st this year, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued "the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China’s Notice for Soliciting Opinions on the Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee to study and standardize the political life within the Party and revise the Regulations on Inner-Party Supervision in the Communist Party of China (CPC) (for Trial Implementation)". The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader presided over the first plenary meeting of the document drafting group and delivered an important speech on the significance, major issues and requirements of document drafting, which pointed out the direction for document drafting. In eight months, the document drafting group conducted special investigations, solicited opinions and suggestions extensively, and discussed and revised them repeatedly. Before the Sixth Plenary Session, The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) held three meetings and the Political Bureau of the Central Committee held two meetings to review the draft documents respectively. At the beginning of August, the draft document was distributed to a certain extent within the party for comments, including some old comrades in the party, and specially listened to the opinions of the leaders of the democratic party Central Committee, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce and non-party members. The document drafting group carefully combed and studied these opinions and suggestions and made important amendments. It can be said that the drafting process of the two documents is a process of fully developing democracy, mobilizing the strength of the whole party, rallying the wisdom of all parties and reflecting the consensus of all walks of life, and is a model of scientific decision-making, democratic decision-making and decision-making according to law.
