Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China's anti-corruption efforts have been unprecedented and have achieved very good results. Not only have a large number of corrupt elements been punished, but the work style of government departments has been greatly improved. It can be said that the results of anti-corruption work are very significant. At present, in order to consolidate the results of anti-corruption, further promote the in-depth development of anti-corruption, and gradually transform anti-corruption from a temporary solution to a fundamental solution, we must w88 online live casino the construction of the anti-corruption system.

First, we must w88 online live casino the construction of systems that regulate the operation of power. Power and corruption are two sides of the same coin, with a close relationship that is difficult to clarify. If power is used well, it can benefit the people and promote economic and social development; if power is used improperly, it will not only harm the people in power themselves, but also have a very bad impact on the country and society. How can we make power operate on a benign track to benefit the country and the people, instead of running wild like a wild horse that has escaped from its rigidity? This requires taming power, regulating power by law, restraining power by morality, checking power by power, and restricting power by society, so that each kind of power can only operate in a limited space in a standardized and transparent manner.

At present, it is necessary to w88 online live casino the construction of systems that regulate the operation of power, and make it clear that the use of power must be limited within the framework of laws, systems, and ethics, so that power can be constrained and regulated, rather than doing whatever one wants without restriction. Simply put, it is to enable those in power to know what can and cannot be done, and to consciously follow various systems and norms in the process of exercising power.2month2311229_11387

Second, we must w88 online live casino the system construction of supervision power. At present, China should give full play to the role of various supervisory forces, focus on strengthening the institutional construction of intra-party supervision, legal supervision and social supervision, and form a three-dimensional supervision network in which various supervisory forces coordinate and complement each other.

First, we must w88 online live casino intra-party supervision. As the ruling party, the CCP controls a large amount of state power and assumes important responsibilities for national development. The CCP’s internal supervision system has been relatively complete during the long-term construction process and plays a core role in the entire power supervision system. At present, it is necessary to w88 online live casino top-down supervision and bottom-up supervision within the party. Special attention must be paid to strengthening the authority and power of disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies through certain institutional means, giving full play to the supervisory role of disciplinary inspection and supervision departments, strengthening supervision of key departments, important industries and leading cadres, promoting the standardization and scientificization of intra-party supervision, and strengthening the organizational foundation and institutional guarantee for anti-corruption.

The second is to w88 online live casino legal supervision. Judging from the relevant provisions of Chinese law, the methods of legal supervision include: supervising state workers to strictly abide by the law when performing their statutory duties through the filing and investigation of official crimes; upholding legal justice through the prosecution of criminal activities such as corruption; and maintaining judicial fairness through protests against erroneous criminal, civil and administrative judgments and rulings. Legal supervision can effectively urge public officials to respect and abide by the law, thereby playing an anti-corruption role.

The third is to w88 online live casino social supervision. Strengthening social supervision will help ensure the public exercise of power and allow power to operate in the sun. At present, it is necessary to w88 online live casino the system construction of citizens' direct participation in supervising the work of the party and government departments, so that citizens' democratic supervision rights can be fully implemented. At the same time, we must focus on giving full play to the supervisory role of public opinion and the news media, and create a good institutional environment for public opinion supervision.

Third, we must establish a reasonable salary system for civil servants. At present, the overall salary level of Chinese civil servants is low, and the salary level of civil servants holding leadership positions is even lower and unreasonable.2013Year7In March, Cui He, a specially appointed member of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and president of the Guangdong Provincial Chamber of Commerce of Distribution Industry, found that the monthly salary of county party committee secretaries and county magistrates in poor counties in Guangdong Province was only1500yuan renminbi (roughly equivalent to300SGD), "Many cadres said that this is a life without dignity." According to the current salary standards in China, the monthly salary of most county secretaries and county magistrates is approximately4000Around 14518_14571|yuan. Of course, this may only be the income on the salary card. If other incomes of the secretary and county magistrate are also added, the actual income may be much higher than this amount.

The low salary of the secretary and county magistrate is just a microcosm of the low salary income of China's leading cadres. This situation has caused many leading cadres to seek some hidden income, including gray income, black income, and income derived from privileges and benefits. These unreasonable incomes are actually corruption, and corruption has become a common phenomenon.

The author believes that those leading cadres who bear important social management responsibilities should be given reasonable salary income, and on the basis of increasing their actual salary income, all hidden income and privileged treatment should be cancelled, and the property and income of leading cadres should be transparently managed. Singapore has good experience in this area, and China can definitely learn from it. To put it harshly, the salaries of China's leading cadres are very low on the surface, but in fact the state finance spends a lot of money on them. And the losses caused to the country by corrupt officials, corruption, waste and poor decision-making are even more astronomical.

Give those leading cadres a reasonable salary and income. If they work hard and stay honest, it will be a good deal. Implementing transparent management of the finances and income of leading cadres will not only help to fundamentally eliminate the possibility of leading cadres using their power to seek rent, but it is also a basic institutional measure for China's anti-corruption and a step that must be taken sooner or later in the construction of a management system for leading cadres.
