China * * * Production Party is the ruling party, with Marxism–Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and Theory of Three Represents as the guiding ideology. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 16th CPC Central Committee pointed out: "The longer the Party is in power, the more arduous the task of combating corruption and promoting honesty, and the more we must unswervingly oppose corruption and improve our ability to resist corruption and change." The construction of ruling ability is a fundamental construction after the party is in power. It is of great significance to comprehensively improve the ability and level of discipline inspection and supervision, strengthen the building of a clean and honest party style and the struggle against corruption, improve the party's ruling ability and consolidate its ruling position.
China * * * production party is the vanguard of China working class armed with Marxism, and also the vanguard of China people and the Chinese nation. Serving the people wholeheartedly is the fundamental purpose of our party. The nature and purpose of our party determine that we must persist in building the party for the public and governing for the people, and we must resolutely oppose corruption. Only by serving the public wholeheartedly can the party be established well; Only by serving the people wholeheartedly can we be firmly in power; Only by resolutely opposing corruption can we maintain the advanced nature and purity of the party. Adhering to the party's nature, practicing the party's purpose and maintaining the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the people is not only the core issue of strengthening the party's ruling ability, but also the fundamental starting point and foothold of our party's work style and clean government building and anti-corruption work.
The construction of a clean and honest party style and the struggle against corruption are the inevitable requirements for strengthening the construction of the party's ruling ability. The construction of party style and clean government and the struggle against corruption are related to the life and death of the party and the country. Corruption is the enemy of the party, the country and the people. The quality of the party style is related to the people's heart, which is the fundamental factor that determines the rise and fall of a political party and a political power. The party's ruling position not only provides conditions for our party to serve the people wholeheartedly, but also increases the danger of being divorced from the masses. Therefore, to strengthen the party's ruling ability, a very important aspect is to strengthen the party's work style and clean government building and the anti-corruption struggle, truly serve the people, be pragmatic and clean, and always maintain the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the people. At present, China has entered a new development stage of building a well-off society in an all-round way and accelerating socialist modernization, and the party's ruling ability is generally compatible with the important tasks and missions shouldered by the party. However, in the face of profound changes at home and abroad, in the process of perfecting the socialist market economic system, the soil and conditions of corruption still exist, and some corruption phenomena are still outstanding, which seriously damages the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the people and seriously affects the party's ruling foundation. Therefore, to strengthen the party's ruling ability and consolidate its ruling position, we must take anti-corruption as an important content, take a clear-cut stand against corruption, and unremittingly strengthen the building of a clean and honest party style, so that our party can withstand the test of long-term ruling under the conditions of reform, opening up and developing a market economy.
Effectively strengthen the construction of party style and political style, and promote the honesty and self-discipline of leading cadres. Party style and political style are related to the image of the party and the government, the opposition of the people and the consolidation of the party's ruling position. At the same time, it is necessary to consolidate the achievements of the special governance of honesty and self-discipline, and take effective measures to deal with the problems existing in some localities and departments, such as micro-economic activities such as leading cadres sending money, running officials and officials, leading cadres intervening in bidding for project construction, and transferring the right to use operating land. Spouses, children and staff around leading cadres seek personal gain by taking advantage of their authority and position, and a few party member cadres participate in gambling. Conscientiously implement the inner-party supervision regulations, formulate relevant regulations and supporting measures around the key links and key contents of supervision, and strengthen the supervision of leading cadres in party member, especially leading cadres. Further strengthen the inspection work, attach importance to the use of inspection results, and enhance the inspection effect.
Seriously investigate and deal with cases of violation of discipline and law, and resolutely punish corrupt elements. Investigating and handling cases of violation of discipline and law is an important embodiment of implementing the principle of strictly administering the party and an effective means to maintain the party's advanced nature and purity. At present, the situation of anti-corruption struggle is still grim, and major cases of violation of discipline and law occur frequently. It is necessary to enhance the sense of responsibility and urgency in investigating and handling cases, continue to intensify the investigation and handling of cases, and severely punish corrupt elements. Focus on investigating and dealing with leading cadres who abuse power for personal gain, especially cases of serious violations of discipline and law by using the power of examination and approval, personnel and judicial power, and cases in which party and government organs and public officials seriously harm the interests of the masses. Those who commit crimes against the wind must be severely punished according to discipline and law, and will never be tolerated.
We will continue to intensify the work of rectifying the wind and conscientiously solve outstanding problems that harm the interests of the masses. Maintaining the flesh-and-blood ties between the Party and the people is the core issue in the construction of ruling ability. Those unhealthy practices that occur around the masses, such as abusing power for personal gain, competing with the people and infringing on the interests of the masses, not only directly affect the production and life of the masses, but also cause public anger and resentment, seriously damaging the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the masses. It is necessary to go deep into the grassroots and the masses, strengthen supervision and inspection, and resolutely correct the outstanding problems reflected by the masses. We must seriously investigate and deal with vicious incidents that harm the interests of the masses, and investigate the leadership responsibility for places where measures are ineffective and bad atmosphere is not cured for a long time. Insist on correcting while building, combine correcting unhealthy practices that harm the interests of the masses with system construction, and strive to form an effective system to solve outstanding problems that harm the vital interests of the masses from the source.
Strengthen and improve administrative supervision, and promote administration according to law and honesty and diligence. Strengthening and improving administrative supervision, promoting administration according to law and honesty and diligence are the inherent requirements for developing socialist democratic politics. It is necessary to strengthen administrative supervision, enhance the overall effectiveness of party and government supervision, and promote the implementation of major decisions. Focusing on the work priorities of the Party Committee and government, combined with the reality of Chongqing, strengthen law enforcement supervision, especially the supervision of resettlement funds and the quality management of resettlement projects, and increase the supervision of safety law enforcement and the investigation of accident responsibility; Further strengthen efficiency supervision, promote administrative organs to change their work style, improve work efficiency, and accelerate the pace of building a service-oriented government.
Development is the top priority of our party in governing and rejuvenating the country. To improve the party's ruling ability, the first thing is to improve the party's ability to lead development. To ensure and promote the construction of the party's ruling ability, the discipline inspection and supervision organs must improve their ability to serve the reform and development and improve their ability to adapt to and improve the requirements of the socialist market economic system. Discipline inspection and supervision organs should establish a people-oriented, comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable Scientific Outlook on Development, closely follow economic construction and reform and opening-up, closely follow the work of party committees and governments, go deep into the front line of reform and opening-up and new areas of market economy, consciously adapt to the requirements of improving the socialist market economic system, adapt anti-corruption measures to the laws of the socialist market economy, and ensure the implementation of national macro-control policies. Through strict discipline and law enforcement, strengthen supervision and inspection, timely solve the problems that seriously affect construction and reform in the party style and political style, constantly optimize the environment for all-round economic and social development, and ensure the smooth progress of economic system reform with strict discipline. Give full play to the basic role of the market in resource allocation, strive to prevent corruption from the source, and promote the perfection of the market system and the standardization of the market order. Always take mobilizing and protecting the enthusiasm of cadres in party member as an important duty, respect the initiative of the masses, fully mobilize all positive factors by protecting reformers, supporting innovators, and investigating offenders and educational mistakes, so as to support and protect party member cadres in the great practice of reform and development.
Improve the ability of party member, especially leading cadres, to effectively supervise leading cadres. Strengthening supervision is an important content of strengthening the construction of the party's ruling ability, and it is also an important duty of the discipline inspection and supervision organs. Discipline inspection and supervision organs should further improve the effective supervision ability of party organizations at all levels and leading cadres in party member, especially leading cadres. We should not only strengthen the courage to dare to supervise, but also pay attention to the methods of good supervision, further broaden the ideas and channels of supervision, increase the intensity of supervision, and earnestly perform the duties of inner-party supervision. Focus on strengthening the supervision of leading organs and leading cadres, especially the main leaders of leading bodies. Effectively strengthen supervision and inspection of the implementation of the party and state line, principles, policies and resolutions to ensure the smooth implementation of government decrees; Effectively strengthen the supervision and inspection of the implementation of democratic centralism and safeguard the unity and unity of the party; We will earnestly strengthen supervision and inspection of the implementation of the party's mass line and further strengthen the relationship between the party and the masses. Strict implementation of debriefing, democratic appraisal, admonishing conversation, democratic life meeting, patrol and stationing, report on major issues of leading cadres and economic responsibility audit system, establish and improve the mechanism to correct mistakes in time when problems are found, and prevent small mistakes from causing big mistakes. Improve the inquiry system, accountability system and recall system, and strictly implement the resignation system of party and government leading cadres. Combine inner-party supervision with non-party supervision, discipline supervision with legal supervision, specialized agency supervision with mass supervision, give full play to the supervisory role of democratic parties, social organizations and news media, and form a joint force of supervision. It is necessary to rely on the support and participation of the people, safeguard the people's rights of criticism, suggestion, accusation and accusation, establish an incentive mechanism for reporting, and encourage real-name reporting. Improve the ability to handle cases according to law and discipline. Insisting on handling cases according to discipline and law is an inevitable requirement for implementing the basic strategy of governing the country according to law and improving the party's ruling ability and level. Discipline inspection and supervision organs should seriously study the Constitution and laws, learn from party constitution and other party disciplines, firmly establish the concept of the rule of law and discipline awareness, and implement the requirements of discipline and law in all aspects of discipline inspection and supervision. It is necessary to implement the principle of strictly administering the party, be strict in discipline, and resolutely investigate and deal with cases that violate discipline and law. In-depth study and grasp the law of handling cases, correctly use policies and strategies, correctly use discipline and legal means, innovate handling methods, and constantly improve the ability to break through major cases. Insist on seeking truth from facts, protect the legitimate rights and interests of the people under review, correctly handle two kinds of contradictions of different nature, and comprehensively consider the political, economic and social effects of handling cases. Strengthen the cooperation between discipline inspection and supervision organs and other law enforcement organs, strengthen the cooperation between discipline inspection and supervision organs of vertical management departments and local discipline inspection and supervision organs, improve the investigation mechanism of major cases, and perform their respective duties in strict accordance with legal procedures. Establish and improve the internal control and supervision mechanism for investigating cases, strictly handle the procedures and requirements, establish a responsibility system for handling cases according to discipline, strengthen supervision and inspection of discipline, and ensure that duties are performed strictly according to discipline and law.
Strengthening the construction of the Party's ruling ability and deepening the fight against corruption and promoting honesty require discipline inspection organs at all levels to further improve their ability to assist Party committees in strengthening party style construction and organizing and coordinating the fight against corruption and promoting honesty. It is necessary to adhere to and improve the anti-corruption leadership system and working mechanism with unified leadership of the Party committee, unified management of the Party and government, organization and coordination of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, respective responsibilities of all departments and support and participation of the masses, so as to provide organizational guarantee for in-depth anti-corruption. In view of the overall situation and trend of anti-corruption, in-depth study, overall planning, put forward countermeasures and suggestions, and assist the party Committee to do a good job in the implementation of anti-corruption work. Conscientiously implement the responsibility system for building a clean and honest party style, earnestly grasp the three key links of responsibility decomposition, responsibility assessment and responsibility investigation, and strictly investigate the dereliction of duty in building a clean and honest party style according to relevant regulations. Further standardize the contents and procedures of organization and coordination, and promote the institutionalization of organization and coordination. Strengthen contact with various functional departments, properly handle the relationship with various functional departments, give full play to the functional role of various departments, and further form a good situation for the whole party and society to grasp the building of a clean and honest party style.

The Communist Party of China (CPC)'s historical experience in fighting corruption and promoting honesty.
China * * * Production Party is the vanguard of China workers' stage. Its nature and purpose determine that anti-corruption is its consistent proposition and unshirkable responsibility. In the glorious course of more than 70 years, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has persistently and resolutely fought against corruption within the Party, and has stood the test in the practice of long-term anti-corruption struggle. Review the party's anti-corruption history. It is of great practical significance to summarize the experience and lessons of the party's anti-corruption struggle.
( 1)
Since its establishment in July, 192 1, the China * * production party has been on high alert to the erosion of various decadent ideas and has persisted in fighting various corruption phenomena in practice. Throughout the course of the party's anti-corruption struggle, it can be roughly divided into the following stages:
1, the anti-corruption struggle before our party came to power
1949 before the founding of new China, although our party established political power in base areas and liberated areas and gained experience in local governance, it was still in a state of oppression and siege on the whole, and did not have the objective conditions for large-scale power and money transactions. In addition, our party subjectively pays attention to the strict administration of the party and insists on opposing corruption, so corruption is not serious, the task of building a clean government is relatively light, and the effect of combating corruption and promoting honesty is very remarkable. Greatly won the hearts of the people and became one of the important conditions for China's * * * production party to win the national victory. The main measures to fight corruption and promote honesty in this period are: (1) paying attention to ideological education. By strengthening the construction of the party's ideological style. Overcome the influence of non-proletarian ideology within the Party, establish proletarian world outlook, and enhance the immunity of party member cadres to corruption. The famous Yan 'an rectification movement is an example in this regard. (2) Pay attention to the construction of laws and regulations. 1922 in April, the earliest disciplinary inspection organ, the Central Supervision Commission, was established. 1On August 4th, 926, our party's earliest anti-corruption document, the notice on resolutely cleaning up corrupt elements, was issued. 1933 15 February 15, the Chinese Soviet * * and the central government of People's Republic of China (PRC) issued the 26th instruction on punishing corruption and waste. From 65438 to 0939, the Government of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region promulgated the Regulations on Punishing Corruption, stipulating that anyone who embezzles more than 500 yuan shall be sentenced to death or fixed-term imprisonment of more than five years. (3) Leadership is honest and self-disciplined. During the democratic revolution, the broad masses of party member cadres, represented by Comrade Mao Zedong, worked hard and lived simply, which played an exemplary role in keeping the government clean.
2. Anti-corruption in the early days of the People's Republic of China
1949 the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC) marks that our party has become the ruling party of the whole country, its status as a ruling party and an environment for peaceful construction. On the one hand, it provides conditions for our party to better serve the people, and at the same time, it is convenient for our party to face the danger of being divorced from the masses and even corruption. In order to withstand the ruling test and maintain the nature of the vanguard of the proletariat, our party has implemented a series of anti-corruption measures: (1) strengthening the construction of anti-corruption laws and regulations. 1952 In March, the Central Economic Inspection Commission formulated several decisions on dealing with corruption, waste and overcoming bureaucratic mistakes, and provisions on recovering the stolen goods of corrupt people. In April of the same year, the Central People's Government formulated and promulgated the Regulations on Punishing Corruption, which played an important role in the anti-corruption struggle for many years. (2) Rectification and Party consolidation. 1950 the whole party rectification movement launched in the second half of the year focused on solving the problem of cadres' style of work at all levels. The party consolidation from the second half of 195 1 to the spring of 1954 solved various problems of grass-roots party organizations, including corruption. (3) to carry out the "three evils" movement. From June 195 10 to February 1952, the "three evils" campaign against corruption, waste and bureaucracy was launched in the party and state organs, and more than 200,000 corrupt cadres, including corruption, were investigated and punished. More than 40,000 corrupt elements were criminally punished. Liu Qingshan, Zhang Zishan and other corrupt elements were executed. The above measures effectively curbed the growing momentum of corruption in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and basically realized political integrity, thus making the party style and social atmosphere in the 1950s one of the best periods in the history of the Party.
3, began to build anti-corruption in the socialist period.
The decade before the Cultural Revolution from 1956 to 1966 was the period when our party began to build socialism in an all-round way. During this period, our party's ruling position was further consolidated, and a highly centralized political system and a highly centralized planned economic system adapted to this political system were gradually formed, and the phenomenon of some cadres abusing power for personal gain and bureaucratic style of work in party member grew. In order to strengthen the party's style construction. Overcome negative corruption. The Party Central Committee has taken the following measures: (1) Rectification within the Party. During this period, in order to overcome bureaucracy and unhealthy tendencies, four major inner-party rectification movements were launched, including 1957, 1958, 196 1 rural rectification movement. (2) Carry out a special struggle against corruption. From 65438 to 0960, a new struggle against corruption, waste and bureaucracy was launched in rural areas, and some rural cadres' corruption and other violations of law and discipline were solved. However, cadres found to have "corrupt behavior" accounted for 20% of the total number of cadres. There is a tendency to expand. 1963 in February, the central government decided to carry out anti-corruption and theft in organs, enterprises and institutions at or above the county level and crack down on speculation. The "New five evils" movement against extravagance, decentralism and bureaucracy. 1September, 963, on the basis of the "new three evils", the central government decided to carry out the "four clean-ups" in rural areas, initially clearing the household registration, warehouse, property and work points; Later, it developed into a political, economic, ideological and organizational purge, which in essence became a class struggle in all aspects, injuring many cadres by mistake. In the "four clean-ups" movement, Mao Zedong came to the conclusion that one third of the leadership in rural areas is no longer in the hands of healthy people.
(3) Establish a system in which cadres regularly participate in productive labor. 1In February, 958, the Central Committee issued the "Instructions on Decentralizing Cadres for Labor Exercise", which led to the upsurge of decentralization of cadres' labor and strengthened the relationship between cadres and the masses, but formalism and extremism also began to appear. From the above measures, we can see that our party attaches importance to the anti-corruption struggle and regards it as a major event, so it can curb the breeding of corruption to a certain extent. However, due to lack of experience, we still simply follow the old methods of ideological education and mass movement during the democratic revolution and socialist transformation, and understand and deal with the negative corruption within the party from the perspective of class struggle, so there is a tendency to expand anti-corruption
4. Anti-corruption in the Cultural Revolution
From 1966 to 1976, the "cultural revolution", as far as Mao Zedong's subjective idea is concerned, is to oppose revision and prevent revision. It contains an obvious desire to overcome negative corruption within the party. Mao Zedong hopes that through open and comprehensive; The form of the "Cultural Revolution" completely exposed the dark side of the Party from bottom to top. However, because the guiding ideology of the Cultural Revolution was a "Left" wrong theory with class struggle as the key link, it exaggerated the dark side too much and adopted a mass movement of "great democracy", so the construction of a clean government during the Cultural Revolution had to fall into a misunderstanding. Its basic mistake is that (1) overestimates the negative corruption within the party. At the beginning of the "Cultural Revolution", Mao Zedong thought that one-third of the political power in rural areas was not in our hands, and a considerable part of the leadership of factories and enterprises was not in the hands of workers, and a bourgeois headquarters had been formed within the party. This serious assessment of the situation within the party will inevitably expand the anti-corruption struggle. (2) Oppose negative corruption in a "great democracy" way. During the "Cultural Revolution", Mao Zedong thought that the mass movement led by the previous Party committee could not solve the problem. It is necessary to carry out a bottom-up mass movement without the leadership of the party Committee. This "great democracy" way of fighting corruption, which does not require the leadership of the Party Committee, will only encourage the mistake of expanding class struggle and fail to achieve the purpose of fighting corruption and promoting honesty. (3) Anti-corrosion does not cure the problem, and the "poor and cheap method" is adopted. There are many reasons for corruption, such as ideology, politics, economy, history and so on. To oppose corruption, we should not only strengthen ideological education, but also handle the relationship between building a clean government and economic construction, vigorously develop productive forces and eradicate the material soil where corruption breeds. However, the "Cultural Revolution" only cured corruption, but not poverty. It is believed that wealth is the foundation of corruption, which makes anti-corruption have a serious abstinence color. (4) Some anti-corruption practices go to extremes. The most typical thing is to extreme the practice of cadres participating in productive labor and turn it into an important means for the rebels to crowd out and crack down on dissidents, losing the original meaning of clean government. In short, the "Cultural Revolution" was not only an internal chaos, but also a failed anti-corruption practice. Although corruption, bribery and abuse of power for personal gain were suppressed due to the high temperature and high pressure of the expanded class struggle, unhealthy trends characterized by "going through the back door" and unhealthy trends in organization and personnel generally spread in the later period of the Cultural Revolution.
5. Fighting corruption and promoting honesty in the new period of socialist modernization.
After the downfall of the Gang of Four, especially after the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, our party's anti-corruption struggle entered a new stage. At this stage, China implemented the policy of reform and opening up, which greatly developed social productive forces and laid a solid material foundation for curbing corruption. At the same time, the reform of economic system and political system will also plug the loopholes that breed corruption from the system. Therefore, in general, reform and opening up is conducive to anti-corruption, not the other way around. However, in the process of reform and opening up and developing market economy, there will inevitably be some loopholes and gaps in policies and regulations. Coupled with the influence of decadent western bourgeois ideas, the situation and tasks facing anti-corruption are more arduous and complicated than before. In the new era, our party adapts to the requirements of the development of the situation, while inheriting and developing the effective anti-corruption practices in the past, it abandons the practices of mass movements in the past and strives to explore new ways to build a clean government under the conditions of reform and opening up. The main measures are: (1) strengthening discipline inspection. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the central and all levels of discipline inspection committees were restored, and administrative supervision institutions at all levels were established, which promoted the building of a clean government. (2) Improve anti-corruption legislation. 1982 In March, the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) adopted the Decision on Severe Punishment of Crimes that Seriously Destroy the Economy, which is a special law to punish corruption. 1987, 1 In June, the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) passed the Supplementary Provisions on Punishing Corruption and Bribery Crimes, which marked the perfection of China's anti-corruption laws. (3) To implement the policy of "strictly administering the Party", the CPC Central Committee has formulated a series of rules and regulations to strengthen self-construction, such as Several Guidelines on Political Life within the Party, Several Provisions on Living and Treatment of Senior Cadres, and Provisions on Prohibiting Party and Government Organs and Party and Government Cadres from Running Enterprises through Business. (4) Carry out a special struggle against corruption. From April 65438 to April 0982, after the State Council made a decision to crack down on serious criminal activities in the economic field, it launched a large-scale anti-corruption struggle, focusing on cracking down on and solving the problems of corruption and bribery of cadres, speculation and smuggling of foreign exchange, and achieved great results. 1In August, 1989, the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the Supreme People's Court jointly issued a notice that criminals such as corruption, bribery, speculation and profiteering must surrender themselves within a time limit, and the Ministry of Supervision also issued a notice that the staff of state administrative organs involved in corruption and bribery voluntarily confessed the problem within a time limit. After these two notices were issued, a special anti-corruption struggle was also launched.
(2)
Summing up our party's historical experience in fighting corruption and advocating honesty, our party has mainly followed such a set of methods, namely, ideological education, mass movement and legal system construction. In fact, these are the three major ideas of combating corruption and promoting honesty. It should be said that these three thoughts are still what we should follow and learn from today's anti-corruption campaign. But when we follow and learn from it, we should use it according to historical experience and lessons.
First, no more sports, but to mobilize the masses and create momentum. Our Party and Comrade Mao Zedong have a prominent feature in the theory and practice of anti-corruption struggle, that is, they emphasize the need to trust, mobilize and rely on the masses and implement the Party's mass line. However, on the issue of mobilizing the masses, Mao Zedong simply followed the very effective way of mobilizing the masses to engage in political movements during the revolutionary war. Facts have proved that this method can really mobilize the masses quickly to a certain extent and form a strong momentum, thus having an obvious deterrent effect on corrupt elements and behaviors, and receiving the effect of fighting corruption and promoting honesty. However, in the socialist period, frequent and large-scale political games have brought a series of negative consequences, such as encouraging anarchism, weakening the leadership of the party, confusing policy boundaries, dampening the enthusiasm of the masses, and leading to deviation in motivation and effect. Historical experience has proved that relying on mass movements to fight corruption is not the right choice. Therefore, when summing up historical experience, Comrade Deng Xiaoping clearly pointed out that when economic construction is disturbed by the trend of liberalization and corruption, "we can't take the old road and engage in any political movement to deal with these problems", but opposing corruption and not engaging in mass movements does not mean that people are not mobilized to participate. As a working method, we should mobilize the masses, mobilize the masses and create a certain momentum. Only in this way can we thoroughly expose and crack down on all corruption and educate all party member people. This requires the use of publicity and education, strict law enforcement and other means to stimulate the people's consciousness, mobilize the people, and create a general climate and environment for the whole society to fight corruption, so that corruption has nowhere to hide and be punished as it should.
Second, we must not only strictly manage the party, but also have institutional guarantees. Our party has always attached importance to party building. Attach importance to the exemplary leading role of party member cadres, especially senior cadres. During the period of democratic revolution, it was precisely because our party strictly governed the party that senior cadres set an example in honesty and self-discipline, which greatly promoted the party's clean government construction. Now and in the future, the anti-corruption struggle still needs to strengthen party building, strictly manage the party, and senior cadres set an example. However, historical experience shows that strictly administering the party and strictly demanding senior cadres by means of punishment can play an essential exemplary role, but it cannot fundamentally solve the problem of anti-corruption and anti-change of the party and the government, nor can it maintain an honest and clean image for a long time. We must fundamentally curb and eliminate corruption. The key is to strengthen the legal system and system construction. Many cases show that with relatively perfect rules and regulations, the anti-corruption struggle can have rules to follow; It is easy for leaders to lead by example and easy for people to supervise. Therefore, the anti-corruption struggle must gradually move towards the track of legalization: treating both the symptoms and the root causes. This requires that while deepening the reform of the economic system, we should actively promote the reform of the political system, establish and improve an effective power restriction and supervision mechanism, so that the constitutional supervision, judicial supervision, party discipline supervision and administrative supervision have sufficient authority and effectiveness, always play their roles, and impartially investigate and deal with all kinds of corruption.
Third, we should not only attach importance to ideological education, but also vigorously develop productive forces. Combine the anti-corruption struggle with the anti-poverty struggle. Strengthening the ideological education of party member cadres through the rectification movement and party consolidation, firmly establishing the purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, and firmly establishing a Marxist outlook on life are not only a solid line of defense against the erosion of decadent ideas, but also a spiritual pillar to keep officials clean and honest. Therefore, at any time, we must not lose the fine tradition of strengthening ideological education and anti-corrosion. However, in order to make the anti-corruption struggle effective, we must also eliminate the economic conditions of material shortage that breed corruption. To achieve this, we must vigorously develop the productive forces. At the same time, the fundamental task of socialism is to develop productive forces, and all other work must be subordinate to and serve this center, and it is impossible to interfere with and impact this center. Therefore, to carry out the anti-corruption struggle in the new period, we must make the anti-corruption struggle subordinate to and serve the economic construction center, and combine the two to make the anti-corruption struggle develop continuously.
Fourth, we should attach importance to both special struggles and regular work, and strive to combine staged battles with long-term struggles. Looking at the anti-corruption struggle in history, we can see that the anti-corruption struggle has the characteristics of stages, that is, after a period of time, after corruption develops and grows, we will launch a staged campaign to combat it, and then launch it after a period of time. This shows that corruption has stubborn characteristics and cannot be eliminated in one or two staged battles. But a long-term strategic task, which can not be completed in one battle. Therefore, the anti-corruption struggle should not only have a sense of urgency, but also be gradual and achieve phased results. We should also have the idea of fighting for a long time, pay attention to regular anti-corruption work, and continue to grasp it without stopping. We should not wait until corruption is serious before launching the anti-corruption struggle. Especially in the transitional period between the old and new economic systems, some disorder in economic life will lead to frequent corruption. In order to effectively curb the spread of corruption, we must combine staged campaigns with long-term struggles and grasp the initiative in the anti-corruption struggle.
Fifth, combine anti-corruption with major reform measures, and strive for the dual effects of reform and building a clean government. The anti-corruption practice since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee shows that in the transition period between the old and new systems, the planned power still plays a certain role in resource allocation because the basic role of the market has not yet formed administrative power. In addition, the new reform measures are imperfect from the beginning, and there are many loopholes, which gives corrupt elements who engage in power and money transactions in the name of developing market economy an opportunity. After a new reform measure comes out, it may induce some new corruption phenomena and unhealthy trends, such as "officials falling off the horse" under the price dual-track system, a large number of problems in the land examination and approval department after the reform of the land use system, and some economic crimes in the financial, real estate and futures markets, indicating that the hot spots and manifestations of corruption will change constantly with the reform process. This requires that when we introduce new reform measures, we should formulate countermeasures according to the dynamic characteristics of corruption and possible problems in building a clean government, put an end to the phenomenon of trading power and money under the banner of reform, and achieve the dual effects of reform and building a clean government.
At present, our party is carrying out an in-depth and lasting anti-corruption struggle. We believe that as long as we earnestly learn from the historical experience of the anti-corruption struggle, explore and put forward anti-corruption and anti-corruption countermeasures according to the historical conditions in the new period, and persevere, we will certainly reduce negative corruption to a minimum and win the anti-corruption struggle continuously.
