No.46 itemsWhat is “wandering the central government’s policies and destroying the party’s centralization and unity”? What are the specific standards? What is considered a correct discussion and what is considered a “wandering argument”?

Legal Affairs Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection: "Wilfully discussing the central government's major policies and undermining the party's centralization and unity" are newly added disciplinary violations in this revision. The most important basis for this provision is the Party Constitution. The Party Constitution stipulates in the General Program that adhering to democratic centralism is one of the four basic principles that must be adhered to in party building. On the one hand, it requires that intra-party democracy be fully developed, party members' dominant status be respected, party members' democratic rights be protected, and the enthusiasm and creativity of party organizations at all levels and party members be fully unleashed. At the same time, correct centralization must be implemented to ensure the unity and unity of the entire party and consistent actions, and to ensure that the party's decisions are quickly and effectively implemented. When formulating major principles and policies, the Party Central Committee fully listens to the opinions and suggestions of relevant party organizations and party members through different channels and methods. However, some people "don't speak in person but speak nonsense behind their backs", "don't speak in meetings but speak nonsense after the meeting" and "don't speak on stage but speak nonsense off the stage" actually not only disrupt people's thinking, but also undermine the party's centralization and unity, hinder the implementation of the central government's principles and policies, and have caused serious consequences. This type of behavior should be punished accordingly in accordance with Article 46 of the "Regulations on Disciplinary Punishments of the Communist Party of China". For minor cases, criticism and education can be given or organized treatment can be given.
