Inspection is an internal self-supervision model implemented by the Communist Party of China in order to implement superior and subordinate supervision. Since the central inspection team started operating in June 2003, various localities and departments have successively established their own inspection teams based on this organizational structure and operating methods. On July 12, 2009, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the "Regulations on Inspection Work of the Communist Party of China (Trial)", formally establishing this intra-party supervision system.
The Hubei Provincial Party Committee *** has eight inspection teams. According to the work arrangement, the Sixth Inspection Team will inspect Zigui County from April 11 to May 9 in 2011.
Zigui, the hometown of Qu Yuan and the birthplace of Wang Zhaojun, is located in the west of Hubei Province, on the bank of the Xiling Gorge of the Yangtze River in the throat of Sichuan and Hubei. It is the head of the reservoir on the Three Gorges Project dam. For a long time, the economic development here has lagged behind, and due to the impact of the Three Gorges Project resettlement, it is still a national-level poverty-stricken county, and the county's finance department is "food finance".
In order to get rid of poverty and become rich, Zigui County Party Committee Secretary Luo Pingxang went to Beijing three times for three consecutive years since 2008 to sell Zigui navel oranges. Another thing that attracted the attention of Hubei officials and even the Chinese people was that on April 6 this year, he personally wrote the "Ten Commandments of Loving the People" and printed it in Zigui County for the study and reference of all party members and cadres in the county.
The "Ten Commandments of Loving the People" says: "Servants of the people need to be cautious, governing for the people is the soul. The first commandment is disrespectful to the people, and it is difficult to convince others by being superior to others; the second commandment is to be close to the people and like to show off, and to flatter and scold endlessly; third commandment The warning is to observe that the people are too frivolous, and people's livelihood is difficult in all aspects; the fourth commandment is to benefit the people improperly, and the people are wasted and money is wasted, causing deep resentment; the fifth commandment is to benefit the people subjectively, and things are difficult to do based on wishful thinking; the sixth commandment is to help the people like charity, and the food they receive creates barriers; the seventh commandment is to help the people guard Dogma and insensitivity are difficult to eradicate; the eight precepts regard the people as stubborn and complain about people's hearts; the nine precepts ask the people for their merits, but the best tools are at the grassroots level; the ten precepts are for the people's impatience, and they should be praised for their requests. Harmony among cadres and masses brings peace to the world."
On the day when the "Ten Commandments of Loving the People" was released, Zigui County Party Committee Secretary Luo Pingxang and County Magistrate Luo Lianfeng presided over a meeting of the "Four Majors" (i.e., the County Party Committee, County People's Congress, County Government, The County CPPCC - Editor's Note) leadership joint meeting will arrange and deploy the county's economic and social development work in April.
The meeting also emphasized that we must do our best to carry out the inspection and inspection work of the Sixth Inspection Team of the Provincial Party Committee in Zigui.
On April 8, the Hubei Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government held an office meeting in Yichang. Li Hongzhong, Secretary of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee, recommended the "Ten Commandments of Loving the People" to the leading cadres attending the meeting: "I admire the "Ten Commandments of Loving the People" written by Comrade Luo Pingxang of Zigui and recommend it to the whole province!"
In Zigui County and even in the While the political circles in Hubei Province were discussing Luo Pingxang's "Ten Commandments of Loving the People", the Sixth Inspection Team of the Provincial Party Committee arrived in Zigui as scheduled. In accordance with the principle of counterpart reception in the past, the Zigui Party Committee Office is responsible for arranging matters related to the inspection team stationed in Zigui. Zheng Zhibiao, member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and Director of the County Party Committee Office, is fully responsible for cooperating and coordinating the relevant work arrangements of the inspection team.
The sixth inspection team was arranged at the "Haoting Hotel" in the county seat, which is a quasi-four-star hotel that integrates accommodation, catering, entertainment and conferences. Nine formal members of the inspection team and four accompanying leaders from Yichang City reserved the eighth and ninth floors of the hotel.
"Inspection is a very good system. From the perspective of some ordinary people, the inspectors are like the imperial envoys in ancient times." Zheng Zhiwen, member of the Standing Committee of the Zigui County Party Committee and Minister of Propaganda, said that in order to work, he was free from Excuse me, the inspection team members need to live on one floor.
“After announcing the location and contact information, we don’t know the specific work content of the inspection team.” A politician in Zigui County said that the inspection team will only be interviewed when they need to be interviewed There is contact. Zheng Zhiwen said, "Almost all personnel above the department level in the county have been interviewed by the inspection team. Even some people who petitioned took this as an opportunity to petition."
It is true that petitions are accepted. It is part of the inspection work. According to Liu Anmin, deputy leader of the Sixth Inspection Team, the way the inspection team carries out its work mainly includes listening to work reports, participating in relevant meetings and activities, accepting letters and calls, holding symposiums, conducting individual conversations, reviewing documents and materials, democratic assessment, and visits Research and gain in-depth understanding of important issues, etc.
Zheng Zhiwen said that in addition to interviewing cadres, Zigui has seven towns and five townships under its jurisdiction, and "the inspection team also went to investigate." Luo Pingxang, secretary of the Zigui County Party Committee, said that before leaving Zigui, "the inspection team verbally reported the inspection opinions to me and the county magistrate, but did not provide us with written materials on the specific content."
May 9 After that day, the Sixth Inspection Team of the Provincial Party Committee left Zigui and continued to inspect other counties and cities in Yichang. Professor Ren Jianming, director of the Institute of Integrity Construction at Tsinghua University, said that the inspection system is an important system for top-down supervision within my country's party and government agencies. The members of the inspection team are mainly composed of cadres transferred from the superior government.
Ren Jianming said that due to the conflicts of interest that exist during inspections, the funds and expenses incurred by inspections should be guaranteed by the higher-level government. However, in the Hubei incident, the lower level was responsible for the reception expenses, which was a problem that arose during the implementation of the inspection system.
“As the saying goes: Those who take advantage of others are short-handed and soft-spoken.” In Ren Jianmin’s view, if the relevant funds and logistical support for inspections are provided by the inspection targets, it is very likely that the inspection team will “ "Reporting good news but not bad news", it is difficult for the problems existing at lower levels of government to be truly reflected.
“Due to the current situation of centralized administrative power in our country, there is basically no way to realize supervision at the same level. The inspection system that relies on vertical supervision from top to bottom should be able to play a certain role in the construction of a clean government and the supervision system, so that subordinates can The department has been effectively supervised. "Ren Jianming said, "If the situation of 'extremely expensive entertainment' is allowed to exist, then the inspection system may be ineffective."
