Book on Reform

The People’s Publishing House has brought out a new book, Whatmakes Reformandopeningupsuccessful? The book, on the reason and experience behind the success of China’s 40-year reform and opening up, is compiled by the Chinese Academy of Governance.

It describes the course and achievements of the initiative under the leadership of the Communist

Party of China, and summarizes the Chinese experience, wisdom and approach obtained in the process.

The book is available at Xinhua Bookstore outlets. Central Committee has issued a trial regulation on how leading Party member groups should discuss and decide disciplining Party members.

Discipline inspection groups, sent by the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission, have the responsibility of supervision.

A discipline inspection group stationed at a department is responsible for filing and investigating cases of discipline violations committed by city-level officials of the department, the regulation said.

The discipline inspection group will make a preliminary suggestion for punishment and discuss it with the department’s leading Party member group. The case will then be transferred to central discipline inspection and supervision authorities for trial after the two groups reach a consensus.

Cases of discipline violations by county-level officials of a department can be investigated and tried by the Party committee and the departmental discipline inspection commission.

The penalty should be discussed and decided by the department’s leading Party member group, and advised by the discipline inspection group stationed at the department.

The regulation will go into effect on January 1, 2019.
