Discipline and rules in the Party Constitution
Since the founding of the Communist Party of China, it has held 19 National Congresses and adopted 19 Party Constitutions (Party Program and Party Constitution Amendments). There is 1 party platform, 8 party constitutions, and 10 party constitution amendments. This article will sort out the different requirements and characteristics of disciplines in the Party Constitution starting from the first year of the Party and going through three periods of foundation laying, tortuous exploration, and maturity and deepening.
1. Foundational Period
1, 1921 First Party Platform
Lay the cornerstone of "discipline-building". Ten of the 15 articles involve basic requirements such as organizational discipline, confidentiality discipline and financial discipline, which played an important role in ensuring the survival and development of the party organization in the early days of the founding of the party.
2, 1922 Second Party Constitution
For the first time, a special "Discipline" chapter was established. Chapter 4, with 9 articles in total, is dedicated to "discipline" and stipulates organizational discipline, publicity discipline, and party member professional discipline. Chapter 5, "Funds," strengthens financial discipline and makes the party's discipline construction have substantial content and progress.
3, 1923, 1925 Party Constitutions of the Three and Four National Congresses
Provide discipline support for organization building. The party constitutions of the three major and four major parties are generally inherited. The revision of the three major party constitutions focuses on strengthening organizational discipline and improving party membership procedures. The changes in the four major party constitutions reflect the central government's emphasis on the party's organizational construction and daily supervision of party members.
4, 1927 Five Major Party Constitution
The institutional source of the disciplinary inspection agency. For the first time, two chapters are devoted to "Supervisory Committee" and "Discipline", making many new provisions on organizational discipline and organizational systems, establishing supervisory organs and giving them a high status, and detailing disciplinary provisions and review procedures. For the first time, it is clearly stated that the "guiding principle of the party organization is democratic centralism"
5, 1928 Sixth Party Constitution
Strictly observing party discipline is the "highest responsibility". Article 44 stipulates that “strict compliance with party discipline is the highest responsibility of all party members and party departments at all levels.” The operational rules for the implementation of democratic centralism were clarified, the party's disciplinary sanctions were comprehensively revised, the constraints on party members and party organizations' compliance with discipline were further strengthened, and the responsibilities of grassroots organizations and financial review and supervision were strengthened, but the newly established supervisory committee was abolished.
6, 1945 Seventh Party Constitution
The policy of “learning from past mistakes to avoid future ones, treating illnesses and saving lives” has been established. On the eve of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Party Constitution independently formulated by the Communist Party of China after the dissolution of the Comintern particularly emphasized the extreme importance of party discipline. For the first time in the history of the Party Constitution, the "General Program" appears, and discipline is written into the General Program as the organizational basis of the party. It establishes the correct policy of "taking advantage of past mistakes to learn from future mistakes, and treating illnesses to save the patient" for discipline construction, and re-establishes the establishment of supervisory agencies.
2. Period of tortuous exploration
1, 1956 Eighth Party Congress Constitution
A new starting point for the discipline construction of the ruling party. In response to the new environment and new tasks of the building of the ruling party, the discipline requirements for party members have been strengthened, democratic centralism has been highlighted in organizational discipline and intra-party political life, the party's disciplinary sanctions have been divided into five categories and continue to this day, and new requirements have been put forward for the party's discipline enforcement agencies to establish new norms.
2, 1969, 1973 Ninth and Tenth Party Congress
Cancel the "Discipline" chapter and the Supervisory Committee. The Ninth National Congress Party Constitution abolished many correct provisions on party discipline in the Eighth National Congress Party Constitution, destroyed the system of the party and the state and the norms of intra-party political life. There is no special chapter on "discipline" and the supervisory committee has been cancelled. The Constitution of the Ten National Congress basically continues the wrong line of the Constitution of the Nine National Congress.
3, 1977 Eleventh Party Congress
Discipline construction is advancing in hesitation. The end of the "Cultural Revolution" and the restoration of the party's organizational principles, disciplinary requirements and disciplinary enforcement agencies are a party constitution for the transitional period when our party has emerged from mistakes and chaos and moved towards the right path.
3. Maturity and deepening period
1, 1982 Constitution of the Twelfth National Congress
Get back on track to strengthen discipline building. It marks that the construction of the Communist Party of China has entered the correct track of building the ruling party in the new era in a true sense. The ideological, political and organizational requirements for party members and party cadres are stricter than those stipulated in previous party constitutions. Two chapters are used to make detailed provisions on the Party's discipline and discipline inspection organs, clarifying eight obligations of Party members, emphasizing that Party organizations at all levels must strictly abide by the principles of democratic centralism and collective leadership, improving the status of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and clarifying the types and procedures of disciplinary sanctions.
2, 1987 Party Constitution of the Thirteenth National Congress
Focus on system construction and intra-party democracy. The authority of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has been enhanced, and more attention has been paid to system construction and the development of intra-party democracy. For the first time, it has been clearly stipulated that party organizations must vote on important issues when discussing and deciding, and this provision has been regarded as an important part of the party's organizational discipline.
3, 1992 Party Constitution of the Fourteenth National Congress
The requirement of "strictly governing the party" is the first to be included in the general program. The policy of strict party governance has been written into the "General Program" and officially regarded as the general guideline and fundamental principle for governing the party and strictly enforcing party discipline. It clearly proposes the major task of unremittingly combating corruption, clearly distinguishes party discipline and national law, and confirms the ratification system for disciplinary sanctions. After the 14th National Congress, the relevant provisions and discussions on party discipline in the Party Constitution have basically stabilized.
4, 1997 15th Party Congress Constitution
Maintain the inherent stability of party discipline and rules. Continue the provisions of the Party's 14th National Congress on Party discipline and the Party's disciplinary inspection agencies.
5, 2002 Party Constitution of the 16th National Congress
Expand the discipline inspection “to-do list”. It highlights the emphasis on "ruling the country according to law" and strengthening the awareness of the rule of law, and proposes to improve the intra-party supervision system. At the same time, it enriches the connotation of discipline inspection work, expands the "statutory powers and responsibilities" of discipline inspection agencies, and is conducive to improving the subject awareness and responsibility awareness of discipline construction.
6, 2007 Party Constitution of the 17th National Congress
For the first time, "adhere to the policy and build a system" was proposed. The "Sixteen-Character Guideline" for building party style and clean government has been written into the party constitution, and the content of "establishing and improving a system for punishing and preventing corruption" has been added to the general outline, and supervision systems such as inspections have been added to ensure that discipline is effectively implemented.
7, 2012 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China
Highlight the party’s advanced nature and purity. The general outline emphasizes the need to strengthen the party's governance capabilities, advanced nature, and purity, and adds content such as the supervision of cadre selection and the basic conditions that leading cadres must possess, which is conducive to promoting the entire party, especially the party's leading cadres at all levels, to play an exemplary role in strictly abiding by the party's discipline.
8, 2017 Party Constitution of the Nineteenth National Congress
Load "Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era". Many major adjustments and enrichments have been made to the two chapters of Party discipline and Party discipline inspection organs, adding the content of the Party's six disciplines and the four forms of supervision and discipline enforcement, improving the dual leadership system and comprehensive dispatch mechanism of discipline inspection organs, clarifying the responsibilities and positioning of discipline inspection organs, improving the procedures for discipline inspection of Party committee members at the same level by disciplinary inspection commissions at all levels, and establishing a separate inspection system and inspection system, which has opened a new stage of in-depth advancement of governing the Party in accordance with regulations and comprehensively and strictly governing the Party.
Looking back at the history of party constitution and discipline construction, we can deeply feel that strict discipline and rules are the basic characteristics and valuable qualities of our party. Standing at the new starting point of comprehensively building socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era, looking back at the Communist Party of China's founding, party building, party governance and rejuvenation over the past century, it is a glorious journey that takes the Party Constitution as the fundamental guide and continuously promotes the party's self-revolution. We must respect the Party Constitution, insist on keeping discipline at the forefront, promote comprehensive and strict governance of the party, the construction of party style and clean government, and the in-depth development of the anti-corruption struggle, and make greater contributions to the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the party, the decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, and the new victory in building a modern socialist country in an all-round way!
