Integrate integrity, discipline, and anti-corruption throughout the entire process of power operation
2025-11-25
We must integrate the principles of upholding integrity, discipline, and anti-corruption throughout the entire process of power operation, and comprehensively promote the prevention, prohibition, and avoidance of corruption. With the guidance of a clean and upright political ecology, a favorable development environment should be formed. Recently, General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward new important requirements for promoting comprehensive and strict governance of the Party during his inspection in Guangdong, which has pointed out the direction and provided important guidance for deepening the Party's self revolution and anti-corruption struggle at a new starting point. The essence of corruption is the abuse of power. From the corruption cases investigated, it can be seen that power, regardless of its size, can be abused as long as it is not constrained or supervised. General Secretary Xi Jinping deeply understands the essential connection between corruption and the exercise of power, pointing out that 'power leads to corruption, and absolute power leads to absolute corruption.' If power is not constrained, the result will inevitably be like this. He emphasizes that 'the essence of corruption is power derailment and deviation, and many corruption problems are related to the unscientific allocation, non-standard use, and inadequate supervision of power.' He specifically demands that 'anti-corruption must regulate the exercise of power,' 'strengthen constraints and supervision on the exercise of power,' and 'improve the mechanism for constraining the allocation and exercise of power.' This time, he puts forward the important requirement of 'integrating integrity, discipline, and anti-corruption throughout the entire process of power exercise.'. General Secretary Xi Jinping's series of important statements have profoundly revealed the inherent logic of power governance and corruption prevention and control, further enriched and developed Marxist ideas on power operation and supervision, provided solid support for regulating power operation and effectively preventing and controlling corruption from the source, effectively guided the whole party to continuously deepen its understanding of the regularity of party conduct and clean governance construction and anti-corruption struggle, and promoted the continuous achievement of new results in the comprehensive strict governance of the party and anti-corruption struggle in the new era. Upholding integrity, discipline, and anti-corruption is an effective way to regulate the exercise of power. Punishing the abuse of power to ensure the correct operation of power is an important function of promoting integrity, discipline, and anti-corruption. The process of upholding integrity, discipline, and anti-corruption is also a process of regulating power behavior, correcting and rectifying errors. Since the beginning of the new era, our party has been upholding discipline and anti-corruption for more than ten years. While continuously strengthening supervision and discipline, timely discovering and investigating problems related to party conduct and discipline, we have also continuously strengthened supervision and law enforcement, timely discovering and investigating problems related to performing duties in accordance with the law, exercising power impartially, practicing clean governance and ethics, and promoting the whole party to establish rules for the exercise of power, speak up and abide by them. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has made arrangements to "strengthen the standardization and supervision of power allocation and operation". We must seize the opportunity and continue to make efforts to closely monitor all aspects of power operation, grasp key powers such as policy making, decision-making, approval and supervision, further strictly supervise and enforce discipline and law enforcement, promote the full process of power operation through positive conduct, discipline and anti-corruption, resolutely eliminate arbitrary and improper use of power, and adhere to a strict tone, measures and atmosphere in the long run. Emphasizing the integration of positive conduct, discipline, and anti-corruption throughout the entire process of power operation is not to restrict power operation or control party members and cadres, but to prevent power deviation and deviation through the entire process of positive conduct, discipline, and anti-corruption, effectively regulate power operation, and promote it to better serve economic and social development. We must soberly recognize that corruption pollutes the political ecology, damages fairness and justice, destroys the business environment, and disrupts economic order. Only by resolutely cutting off this tumor can the vast number of party members and cadres work cleanly and boldly, and all types of business entities start their businesses with peace of mind. We must deeply understand the practical requirements of "integrating integrity, discipline, and anti-corruption throughout the entire process of power operation", adhere to the integrated promotion of "dare not be corrupt, cannot be corrupt, and do not want to be corrupt", continue to deepen the treatment of both symptoms and root causes, systematically implement measures, focus on eradicating the soil and conditions that breed corruption, and strive to create a clean and upright political ecology. We need to accurately apply the "four forms", seek truth from facts, and avoid unnecessary actions. We should unify strict management, supervision, and encouragement of responsibility, and guide and promote Party members and cadres to work diligently, work freely, forge ahead, and take active actions while complying with rules and regulations. Leading cadres are at a critical juncture in the exercise of power, and must firmly establish a correct view of power when exercising various powers granted by the Party and the people. They must strictly fulfill their duties and exercise their powers in accordance with legal authority and procedures. The standard of upholding discipline and anti-corruption is the Party discipline and national laws, and abiding by laws and regulations is the basic prerequisite for Party members and cadres to perform their duties and exercise their powers. On the new journey, the vast number of Party members and leading cadres should always respect the people, the organization, and the law and discipline, take the lead in abiding by the regulations of integrity and self-discipline, and be accustomed to working and living in a supervised and constrained environment. They should always exercise their power fairly, in accordance with the law, for the people, and with integrity, ensuring that power always operates on the correct track. (New Society)
