Recently, the 2020 annual report on supervision, inspection and investigation released by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission showed that last year, the national discipline inspection and supervision agencies filed a total of 618,000 cases and punished 604,000 people. The reporter learned from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission that in 2020, a total of 16,000 people across the country voluntarily surrendered to the discipline inspection and supervision agencies, and 66,000 people voluntarily explained the problems to the discipline inspection and supervision agencies. Behind the data of
"Actively surrender" and "Actively explaining problems" is a powerful deterrence formed by the continuous high-pressure anti-corruption situation, and the correct way out pointed out by the policy of "punishing past mistakes to prevent future ones, curing diseases and saving lives". Under the superposition effect of promoting the integrated promotion of not daring to be corrupt, not being able to be corrupt, and not wanting to be corrupt, for the "problem cadres" who have gone astray, throwing away their mentality, putting aside their mentality of luck, believing in the organization, relying on the organization, knowing to return to the loss and actively surrendering is the only right way.
"Active surrender" has become a high-frequency word in case notifications, and the chain reaction has been continuously amplified.
At the end of 2020, the News and Communication Center of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission jointly with the National Language Resource Monitoring and Research Center launched the top ten anti-corruption hot words in 2020, and "Active surrender" ranked among them.
From the work report of the Third Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, "Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, more than 5,000 party members and cadres have voluntarily surrendered", by 10,357 people voluntarily surrendered nationwide in 2019, and 16,000 people voluntarily surrendered in 2020, this is a powerful proof of the overwhelming victory in the anti-corruption struggle.
View the "Review and Investigation" column of the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission. In 2020, "voluntary surrender" became a high-frequency word for case reporting.
On September 6, 2020, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission announced that Wen Guodong, Vice Governor of Qinghai Province, Secretary of the Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture Committee, and Secretary of the Party Working Committee of the Qaidam Circular Economy Experimental Zone, was suspected of serious violations of discipline and law and voluntarily surrendered.
htmlOn September 9, the Qinghai Provincial Party Committee held a meeting of the Standing Committee (expanded) to believe that Wen Guodong's voluntary surrender was a deterrent of the sword of comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, a inspiration of the policy of punishing past mistakes and preventing futures to cure diseases and save people, a soul questioning of his guilt for the grace of raising his parents, a reflection and repentance that he failed the organization's careful training for many years, a inner proof of his fear, anxiety and anxiety, and an extreme desire to fight for leniency and reincarnation. More than a month after Wen Guodong voluntarily surrendered, on October 24, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission released a message that Wang Like, member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, voluntarily surrendered. Wang Like is the first provincial-level political and legal committee secretary to voluntarily surrender since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and is also the second provincial and ministerial-level leading cadre in the political and legal system to be dismissed since the deployment of the education and rectification of the national political and legal team.not only central-level cadres, but also "voluntarily surrendered" includes all levels, from general cadres to provincial and ministerial-level leading cadres, from leading cadres of party and government organs to employees of enterprises, institutions and villages, from young cadres to retired leading cadres.
Last year, a total of 307 people in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region voluntarily surrendered, and 1,546 people took the initiative to explain the problem; in Shandong Province, these two numbers were 633 and 1,041 respectively; from August 13 to August 21, 2020, within a week, Yang Gang, member of the Daxinganling Prefectural Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee of Heilongjiang Province, and Jiang Yingbo, Vice Chairman of the Mudanjiang Municipal CPPCC, voluntarily surrendered one after another.
Zhuang Deshui, deputy director of the Research Center for Integrity Construction at Peking University, believes that the voluntary surrender of "problematic cadres" is a highlight of the anti-corruption work in 2020, indicating that the overwhelming victory in the anti-corruption struggle has continuously consolidated and developed a containment effect on corruption.
At the same time, in 2020, 66,000 people across the country took the initiative to explain the problems to the discipline inspection and supervision agencies. According to the "Regulations on Disciplinary Punishment of the Communist Party of China", proactive confession refers to a party member suspected of violating discipline explaining his or her problems to the relevant organization before the organization's initial review, or explaining issues that the organization has not mastered during the preliminary review and filing of the case for review. This data reflects the policy inspiration of combining leniency and severity, which is conducive to better playing the political effect of "punishing past mistakes and preventing future ones, curing diseases and saving lives".
has always maintained a high-pressure situation in punishing corruption and has formed a strong deterrence for "problem cadres"
According to the annual reports on supervision, inspection and investigation since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the number of cases filed by the national discipline inspection and supervision agencies each year exceeds 500,000, and the number of people punished each year exceeds 500,000.
Discipline inspection and supervision agencies at all levels thoroughly implement the Party Central Committee's policy of comprehensively governing the Party with strict discipline, adhere to no forbidden zones, full coverage, and zero tolerance, adhere to heavy curbs, strong high pressure, and long-term deterrence, adhere to investigations on bribery and bribery, adhere to "fighting tigers", "swatting flies" and "hunting foxes", and always maintain the high-pressure situation of punishing corruption and the pace remains unchanged.
's continuous high-pressure anti-corruption situation has a strong deterrent to a group of "problem cadres", causing a great impact on their psychological defense line, and realizing that voluntary surrender is the only correct way out.
Early in the morning of September 2, 2020, Ying Tierong, deputy director of the Wangjiajing Branch of Jinan Street Office of Zhuji City, Zhejiang Province, came to the Third Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision to surrender. Ying Tierong once served as director of the New Rural Construction Office in Yingdian Street Town, , and accepted property from management and service objects several times, with a large amount. In recent years, Zhuji has been continuously investigated and punished for key positions in the field of land and urban construction, creating a strong deterrent effect.
"I came today because I was afraid." Ying Tierong in front of the case handlers looked haggard and panicked. "Before, Wang Quan, deputy mayor of Urban Construction in Wuxie Town, and then Yang Lifeng, deputy director of Urban Construction in Huandong Street, was in charge of Urban Construction. In less than two months, Wang Hui, deputy mayor of Urban Construction in Huangshan Town, was also investigated... Their problems lies in the fields of land and urban construction, and I and Yang Lifeng have worked with me, I feel that I can't escape..."
On September 11, 2020, the Zhuji Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision expelled Ying Tierong from the Party and removed from public office. "The 'problematic cadres' voluntarily surrendered is a powerful annotation for abandoning the mentality of taking chances under the comprehensive effect of treating both the symptoms and the root causes, and choosing to believe in the organization and rely on the organization." A relevant person in charge of the Zhuji Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision said.
After the case was investigated and handled, it has organized a warning education conference and a special democratic life meeting to slap the "problematic cadres" and point out the way out, and urge them to seize opportunities and explain the problems. This has now become a common practice.
In September 2020, after Hua Xiaoguang, head of the Transportation Key Engineering Service Center of the Transportation Bureau of Shuyang County, Jiangsu Province, was investigated, the investigation team went to the Transportation Bureau to hold a special warning education meeting on "Learning from the case and promoting reform through the case" to inform Hua Xiaoguang of being under review and investigation. Immediately afterwards, he summoned the main person in charge of the county transportation bureau to urge the convening of a transportation system meeting to mobilize relevant personnel to put down their ideological burdens. Soon, 12 staff members of the bureau voluntarily surrendered and handed over more than 400,000 yuan of funds involved in the case.
In the field of international pursuit of fugitives and stolen assets, it insists on chasing them and chasing them to the end, laying a net of heaven and earth, putting "problematic cadres" in a situation where there is no way out.
Former researcher of the Operations Department of the Transportation Bureau of the Ministry of Railways (at the level of the department) Haitao fled in January 2013 and was a suspect in the official crime who fled after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The Haidian District Supervisory Commission of Beijing conducted an anti-money laundering investigation on Haitao and his important related parties, and seized and frozen his assets in the case in accordance with the law, thus "cutting off his blood" economically. In the end, Haitao chose to return to China to surrender, and sent a round-trip surrender letter to the Beijing Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision in January 2020.
Strengthen policy guidance and inspire "problem cadres" to actively explain problems to the organization
On the one hand, it is high-pressure deterrent, and on the other hand, it is inspiring policies. The two work in the same direction to form a superposition effect, pointing out the way for party members and cadres who violate discipline and laws, and prompt them to voluntarily surrender and explain problems. Article 17 of the Regulations on Disciplinary Punishment points out that "if you actively explain the problem that you should be punished by the Party discipline" can be given a lighter or reduced punishment; the rules for supervision and discipline enforcement work stipulate in Article 3, paragraph 3 of the General Provisions, "the leniency of voluntary surrender and proactive explanation of problems, and strict handling of refusal and deceiving the organization."Article 31 of the Supervision Law stipulates that if a person suspected of committing a duty crime voluntarily surrenders and sincerely repents, the supervisory authority may make suggestions for lenient punishment; Article 11 of the Administrative Punishment Law stipulates that if a public official proactively confesses to the illegal acts that he should be subject to administrative sanctions, he may be given lighter or lesser administrative sanctions. These provisions of party regulations and national laws are declarations of the policy of "punishing past mistakes and preventing future ones, curing diseases and saving lives", guiding and urging "problematic cadres" to believe in the organization, rely on the organization, and actively surrender.
In practice, in response to the situation where there are many units and personnel involved in systemic corruption cases, the discipline inspection and supervision agencies conduct policy interpretations within a specific scope, guide relevant personnel to put down their ideological burdens and take the initiative to explain problems.
At the end of July 2020, the Tibet Autonomous Region Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision filed a case for investigation on Wang Yunting, Secretary of the Party Group and Deputy Director of the Autonomous Region Health Commission, suspected of serious violations of discipline and law, and simultaneously conducted policy publicity and heart-to-heart talks in his former unit, and explained it with reason and emotion, guided cadres in their problems to give up their luck and actively sought organizational help. In less than two months, Li Bin, Secretary of the Party Committee and Vice President of the Second People's Hospital of the Autonomous Region, voluntarily surrendered to the Autonomous Region Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision under the inspiration of policies.
Taking the opportunity of carrying out special actions, by announcing specific policies to voluntarily surrender and urge "problem cadres" who are lucky and waiting to wait and see to voluntarily surrender, and strive for leniency, which is also an effective way to strengthen the policy inspiration effect.
In 2020, the Haidong City Discipline Inspection and Supervision Agency of Qinghai Province deployed a special action to "actively explain" corruption and work style issues in the field of people's livelihood in recent years and to report on the masses.
As of the end of December last year, 535 party members and cadres and public officials in Haidong City have taken the initiative to explain the problems to the discipline inspection and supervision agencies, and the city refunded 5.27 million yuan.
"Thank you for your trust, I will cherish the opportunity." "Only by believing in the organization and proactively explaining, there will be a way out." "If you explain the problem clearly, your whole person will be relaxed."... After actively surrendering, the mental journey of these "problem cadres" shows that under the high-pressure deterrence and policy inspiration, they feel aware of "self-salvation" deep in their hearts, actively moving closer to the organization, and proactively explaining their own problems.
"For party members and cadres, the organization is the most solid backer. We must be loyal to the party and always be respectful of the party's discipline and national laws. If we make mistakes, we must take the initiative to explain the situation to the organization, explain the problems clearly, believe in the organization, and rely on the organization. Only in this way can we return to the correct track of life." Zhuang Deshui believes.
During the special inspection of the "two violations" (illegal occupation of land and illegal construction) in the whole district, the Jimei District Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of Xiamen City, Fujian Province carried out a special action to urge voluntarily surrender.

Seek truth from facts, combine leniency and strictness, and handle precisely, standardize and safely, voluntarily surrender voluntarily
On September 30, 2020, former deputy minister of the United Front Work Department of Hainan Provincial Party Committee, Guo Quanmao 4 was expelled from the Party and public office. In the "double opening" notice, there is a statement - "In view of Guo Quanmao's voluntary surrender, truthfully confessing his violations of discipline and laws, actively submitting his proceeds of violations of discipline and laws, admitting his mistakes and regretting his mistakes, and following the principle of "punishing the past and preventing the future, curing the disease and saving the patient", it can be mitigated." Similar examples of
have been reported many times. On March 2 last year, in the notice that Pan Yanzhao, former member of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Director of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, was expelled from the Party, there was also a statement that "Pan Yanzhao voluntarily surrendered, truthfully confessed the facts of violations of discipline and law, actively handed over the proceeds of violations of discipline and law, actively cooperated with the review and investigation work, admitted his mistakes and regrets him, and could be given a lighter or reduced punishment."
highlights the "active surrender" plot and the "leniency treatment" results in the notice, with the purpose of expanding the demonstration and driving effect of voluntary surrender.
The principle of "combining punishment with education to achieve leniency and severity" is reflected in the Disciplinary Punishment Regulations, the Rules for Supervision and Disciplinary Enforcement, as well as the Supervision Law and the Administrative Punishment Law.
adheres to the policy of "punishing past mistakes and preventing future ones, curing diseases and saving lives". Discipline inspection and supervision agencies at all levels use the "four forms" in a realistic manner, grasp policies and strategies, strictly based on the two quantities of discipline and law and facts, and fully consider the variable of attitude, accurately use each form, and do a prudent and steadily and well-transform the form.
During the special inspection of the "two violations" (illegal occupation of land and illegal construction) in the whole district, the Jimei District Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of Xiamen City, Fujian Province carried out a special action to urge voluntarily surrender. Shortly after the special operation of
was launched, Huang Moumou, a first-level clerk of the district urban management administrative law enforcement brigade, took the initiative to explain to the inspection team that his violation of discipline was conducted. During the organization of the review and investigation, Huang Moumou actively cooperated with the review and investigation, truthfully confessed his problems, admitted his mistakes, and submitted his own illegal income at the market price.
Jimei District Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision comprehensively considers Huang Moumou's facts of violations, the characterization of the case and attitude awareness, and decided to exempt Huang Moumou from party discipline and give him a warning and treat him. The handling of Huang Moumou's violations has been transformed from the second form to the first form.
Discipline inspection and supervision agencies promptly discovered and investigated and dealt with very small numbers of "fake surrenders" who voluntarily surrendered the case after voluntarily surrendered the case and even fabricated facts, trying to "lost the pawns and protect the car" and "difference the sight".
On July 18, 2020, Li Binghui, former deputy director of the Forestry and Grassland Bureau of Huize County, Yunnan Province, was "double-opened". The notice mentioned that "Li Binghui violated political discipline, was disloyal and honest to the Party, and voluntarily surrendered to the organization for review and investigation, but did not truthfully explain the problem to the organization, and attempted to escape." In fact, Li Binghui committed "fake surrender" and "talking small but not big", and the discipline inspection and supervision organs finally expelled him from the Party and removed him from public office, and transferred his suspected criminal issues to the procuratorate for review and prosecution in accordance with the law.
Strengthening institutional construction and improving the standardization and rule of law of handling voluntary surrender
Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the significant increase in the number of voluntary surrenders has not only reflected the unstoppable fight against corruption, but also put forward new requirements for improving the standardization and rule of law of handling voluntary surrender work.
In July 2019, the General Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection issued the "Regulations on Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Organs to Handle the Problem of Active Subjugation (Trial)", further standardizing the identification and handling of voluntary surrender by discipline inspection and supervision agencies in supervision, inspection and investigation, so that the disposal of voluntary surrender has rules to follow.
Local discipline inspection and supervision commissions have also issued relevant systems in light of the actual situation to standardize the handling of voluntary surrender. The Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of Tibet Autonomous Region issued the "Notice on Standardizing the Reception of the Autonomous Region Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision", which clearly regulated the functions, responsibilities, procedures, confidentiality discipline, and connection mechanisms of various departments of the Commission; the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region formulated the "Interim Measures for the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of the Autonomous Region to Encourage the voluntary explanation of problems and surrender", insisting on the combination of punishment and education, and using the "four forms" to accurately deal with voluntary surrenders.
"The handling of voluntary surrender cases involves the integration of discipline and law, the connection between laws and laws, and the social attention is high." Song Wei, director of the Center for Integrity Research of Beijing University of Science and Technology, said that we must adhere to the unity of principle and flexibility, which not only demonstrates the spirit of "punishing past mistakes and preventing future, curing diseases and saving people", and maximizes the release of political effects; but also based on facts and discipline and law as the criterion to ensure that "the net of law is vast and unblocking without missing out."
