On February 21, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued a new version of the “Regulations on Inspection Work of the Communist Party of China” (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations) and issued a notice requiring party committees (party groups) at all levels to “adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era” and “implement “Two safeguards” are the fundamental tasks to promote the concreteness, precision and normalization of political supervision.”
The full text of the regulations shows that the new version of the regulations was adopted at the Politburo meeting of the Communist Party of China on January 31, issued on February 8, and the full text was released on February 21.
Comparing the new version of the regulations with the 2017 version, the description of intra-party issues has been significantly revised, and many contents related to corruption, abuse of power and other issues have been deleted, as well as the maintenance of Xi Jinping’s authority.
The new version of the Regulations separately states in Article 2 that “inspection work is the political supervision of higher-level party organizations over lower-level party organizations’ performance of the party’s leadership functions and responsibilities. The fundamental task is to resolutely safeguard General Secretary Xi Jinping’s core status of the Party Central Committee and the entire party, and resolutely safeguard Maintain the authority and centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core.”
Epoch Times columnist Zhong Yuan pointed out: The first version of the regulations in 2015 emphasized “strengthening intra-party supervision” and did not emphasize the supervision of superiors to subordinates; because supervision should be top-down, bottom-up, and There should be mutual supervision at the same level. Although this is impossible within the CCP, it was still vague before, but now it is completely open.
Wang He, an expert on China issues, believes that Xi Jinping made such changes after his third re-election at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China because the CCP’s political situation is bad, the economic situation is not good, there are political differences among the top leaders, Xi Jinping’s core status is not guaranteed, and there are internal conflicts within the CCP The new problem of “disengagement from morality”.
Gong Lindong, a researcher on the CCP in Taiwan, pointed out: The introduction of the new regulations once again highlights the extreme concerns of the CCP’s top leaders about power. This shows the CCP’s top brass’ incompetence on internal issues and their fear of losing authority.
Zhong Yuan said: The purpose of the CCP’s announcement of the new regulations before the Third Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee is to silence officials at all levels and not allow them to criticize the “Party Central Committee”, otherwise they will become the target of a “struggle.” With this new regulation, even if the current chaos remains unresolved, the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China can probably be held, and the “Zunyi Conference” will not be held as another major review, and the “Party Central Committee” and party leaders will not be held accountable.
Zhong Yuan said: Being held accountable is what Xi Jinping is most worried about right now. The new version of the regulations allows the “Party Central Committee” to raise a new “sword” to see who dares to make mistakes?
Changes in the functions of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection
The new version of the regulations has deleted the original anti-corruption content, leaving only loyalty to Xi Jinping.
Article 3 of the 2015 version reads: “Focus on the construction of party style and clean government and the fight against corruption, identify problems, create deterrents, and promote the construction of the party’s advanced nature and purity.” The revised new version of the regulations directly changes Article 3 to read: “Implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important thoughts on the party’s self-revolution, and deeply understand the decisive significance of the ‘two establishments’.”
The new version of the regulations changes the main content of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection’s inspection work from anti-corruption to checking whether officials at all levels are loyal to Xi Jinping. In the past, issues that had to be focused on inspections, including “acting against the law, forming cliques for personal gain, forming gangs, forming cliques,” etc., have basically been deleted.
Gong Lindong said: This shows that the functions of the CCP’s Discipline Inspection Commission have completely changed, from anti-corruption to safeguarding Xi Jinping’s personal authority. This shift also demonstrates the CCP’s top leadership’s grip on power and zero tolerance for dissent. It also reflects Xi Jinping’s extreme vigilance and anxiety about the further concentration of power and dissent.
Zhong Yuan believes that this change shows that as long as officials can take the lead in showing their loyalty to Xi Jinping, even “subverting the rule in disguise” seems to be acceptable. After all members of the Xi camp come to power, internal “party formation, cliques, and cliques” will soon reappear. However, as long as everyone is loyal to Xi Jinping, it seems that this will not be a problem.
Gong Lindong pointed out: This will lead to the further deterioration of the CCP’s officialdom and the further concentration of power. The comprehensive ascendancy of Xi Jiajun and the Fujian Gang has made any questioning of Xi Jinping taboo, and members of the Politburo dare not raise objections.
This concentration of power under political supervision cannot solve the problems within the CCP. On the contrary, it may exacerbate official corruption and dissatisfaction with power. As the current situation changes, Xi Jinping will surely face more challenges.
Zhong Yuan said: The “Party Central Committee” is afraid of losing power, so it has to constantly seize power; the “Party Central Committee” is afraid of being questioned and afraid of losing authority, so it has to supervise officials at all levels and not allow anyone to speak nonsense; even in the new version of the regulations Deleted descriptions of a range of intra-party issues. The “Party Central Committee” is already frightened, but this approach will not prevent more chaos from coming in 2024, and the Red Dynasty will no longer be able to survive.
