Admonishing conversation is aimed at party member cadres who have slight disciplinary violations or problems with signs and tendencies, aiming at greeting in advance, reminding them in time and educating them to save them. According to Article 19 of the Detailed Rules for Organizing Personnel Departments to Remind, Inquire and Admonish Leading Cadres, leading cadres who have been admonished shall not be promoted and reused within six months, and there is no restriction on criticism and education.

The content of admonishing conversation will be recorded and archived, and personal influence may last for six months, which shows that the consequences of admonishing conversation are more long-term and concrete than criticism and education.
