The third round of inspections conducted by the 20th Central Committee has recently concluded, as mandated by the party’s central leadership. This round involved a combination of centralized feedback and one-on-one discussions between the inspection teams and the inspected organizations.
On October 17, the Leadership Group for Central Inspection Work convened a meeting to provide centralized feedback on the third round of inspections. During the meeting, they conveyed important remarks made by General Secretary Xi Jinping regarding the situation reports from the inspections. The session also highlighted common issues identified during the inspections and outlined steps for addressing these concerns. Liu Jin Guo, a member of the Central Secretariat and deputy leader of the inspection leadership group, attended the meeting and delivered a speech.
Recently, 15 central inspection teams have conducted one-on-one feedback sessions with 22 central and national agencies and 12 financial enterprises directly under the central government. Following the established protocols of the Central Inspection Work, these teams reported prominent issues discovered during the inspections to the main leaders of the inspected party organizations and provided feedback to the leadership teams.
The feedback pointedly addressed several issues within the inspected organizations. Some organizations showed gaps in fulfilling their functional responsibilities, with insufficient implementation of the central government’s decisions and reform initiatives. Additionally, there were shortcomings in balancing development and security, a lack of risk awareness, and inadequate preventive measures. The feedback also revealed insufficient progress in promoting strict governance of the party, with notable integrity risks in key areas and ongoing violations of the central government’s eight-point regulations. Moreover, some leadership teams and personnel development practices were found lacking, leading to weaker grassroots organizational structures.
The feedback demands that the inspected organizations deeply study and implement Xi Jinping’s Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. Leaders are urged to firmly uphold the “two establishments” and decisively ensure the “two safeguards” by taking concrete actions in their duties. There needs to be a heightened sense of urgency regarding risks, with comprehensive assessments and measures in place to uphold the safety and quality of development. A clear understanding of the anti-corruption struggle is fundamental; organizations must adhere to a strict tone in their efforts to eliminate the conditions that foster corruption and create a political ecosystem that encourages clean governance and entrepreneurial spirit.
Furthermore, organizations should view inspection rectification as a serious political task, emphasizing party integrity, accountability, and responsibility. The top leaders must take overall responsibility, while team members should embrace dual roles related to their positions to demonstrate their political judgment, comprehension, and execution through effective corrective actions. Rectification efforts should be seized as opportunities for reform and development, ensuring that issues are thoroughly addressed and corrected. Inspections should reinforce party leadership and strict governance, calling for an earnest spirit of self-revolution to tackle root causes.
The feedback also calls for discipline inspection and organizational departments to enhance regular oversight of rectification efforts, applying serious accountability measures against any superficial or false responses to inspections. There should be a careful planning of leadership team building to tackle prominent issues within cadre teams and grassroots organizations. Relevant functional departments are encouraged to leverage inspection findings to address common and deeper-rooted problems effectively. Lastly, inspection agencies must strengthen coordination and follow-up on rectification efforts, ensuring timely reports of significant developments to the central leadership.
It has also been noted that central inspection teams received information regarding various issues involving leadership personnel, which have been referred to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission, the Central Organization Department, and other relevant entities for further action.
