Drawing Lessons from Cases, Clarifying Discipline Through Them, Strengthening the Foundation of Faith, and Keeping Disciplinary Standards Firmly in Mind—The Group (Bureau) Commission for Discipline Inspection Held a Warning‑Education Meeting.

To further strengthen efforts to build a clean and honest Party conduct and ensure strict governance, the Group (Bureau) Commission for Discipline Inspection convened on September 7 a meeting to oversee the implementation of the spirit of the CPC Central Committee’s Eight-point Decision on Improving Party and Government Conduct during the Mid-Autumn and National Day holidays, while also conducting cautionary education. The meeting aimed to guide leading cadres to learn from cases, clarify disciplinary requirements through case studies, and drive corrective action, thereby reinforcing their ideological convictions, tightening adherence to discipline, fulfilling their due responsibilities, and continuously fostering a political environment characterized by integrity and uprightness. This initiative represents an important step in advancing the development of a culture of integrity within the enterprise. Liu Xingwang, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Deputy Director-General, and General Manager of the Group (Bureau), attended the meeting. Wang Yong, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, set forth disciplinary requirements for the attending Party members and leading cadres, while Miao Bo, Deputy Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Director of the Comprehensive Supervision Office (Inspection Office), presided over the session.

Huang He, Director of the Discipline Inspection Office of the Group (Bureau), first announced the “Ten Typical Cases of Violations of the Spirit of the CPC Central Committee’s Eight‑Point Decision on Improving Party and Government Conduct,” publicly disclosed by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission. Among the cases reported, some took advantage of holidays to lavishly accept gifts and cash under the guise of social exchanges; others, harboring a lucky mindset, secretly accepted banquets and travel arrangements in violation of regulations; still others failed to exercise restraint and misappropriated public funds; and yet others distorted their view of political achievements and abused their power arbitrarily. These problems undermine the Party’s image, damage relations between the Party and the people, and carry profoundly sobering lessons. They serve as a stark warning to all Party members and leading cadres to learn from these cases, guard against falling into the trap of “reciprocal exchanges,” and consciously draw clear red lines between personal relationships and disciplinary and legal boundaries.

Subsequently, the meeting convened all participants to watch the cautionary documentary “The Path of Power and Money,” which highlights typical cases of central enterprises engaging in practices of “relying on and exploiting the enterprise.” The film examines three emblematic instances of disciplinary violations among senior officials in central enterprises uncovered since 2021, exposing how these leaders have lost their ideals and convictions, abandoned their original aspirations and missions, violated the spirit of the CPC Central Committee’s Eight‑Point Decision on Improving Party and Government Conduct, sought personal gain through “relying on and exploiting the enterprise,” and resisted organizational investigations. It dissects the ideological roots that led them astray and plunged them into moral decay. The cases are deeply disturbing, and their outcomes serve as a stark warning. By viewing this cautionary film, the participating leading cadres experienced profound emotional shock, underwent a powerful intellectual awakening, and once again had their Party consciousness purified.

In his concluding remarks, Wang Yong, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Group (Bureau), emphasized that the fundamental purpose of cautionary education is to ensure that all Party members and leading cadres remain mindful of their responsibilities, exercise due caution, uphold bottom lines, and constantly remind themselves to cultivate strong Party spirit, strengthen political resolve, maintain clear-headedness, and exercise their authority with integrity. As Party members and cadres in state‑owned enterprises and central SOEs, they must take this as a warning, draw profound lessons, keep vigilance at all times, strictly implement the spirit of the CPC Central Committee’s Eight‑Point Decision on Improving Party and Government Conduct, consciously resist practices of “profiting from one’s position,” and resolutely serve as guardians of the preservation and appreciation of state assets.

Drawing on the theme of this cautionary education meeting and his reflections from watching the警示教育 film, Wang Yong set forth disciplinary requirements in three key areas. First, he called for heightened awareness and a firm grasp of the “master switch” of one’s thinking, urging adherence to “two thorough realizations”: namely, that rigorously enforcing all disciplinary measures during holiday periods is a crucial step in upholding the “Two Upholds,” and that practicing thrift and curbing food waste are concrete manifestations of the spirit of hard work and perseverance. Second, he emphasized leading by example and setting a high standard for the cadre team. In today’s context, where Party conduct and anti-corruption efforts remain challenging and complex, Party members and leading cadres must consistently maintain ideological purity, comprehensively strengthen their Party spirit, cultivate a sense of gratitude toward their posts, a reverent attitude toward power, a contented mindset regarding fame and fortune, and a diligent commitment to their cause—while also reinforcing routine education and management. Third, he underscored the need to govern the Party with strict discipline and to safeguard the “red line” of disciplinary requirements, calling on discipline inspection officials to dare to shoulder responsibility, take the lead in observing discipline, and enforce it rigorously.

In light of the critical juncture marking the approaching Mid-Autumn and National Day holidays, Wang Yong once again reiterated the disciplinary requirements that Party organizations at all levels and leading Party members must observe during this period. He urged and reminded Party members and cadres to strengthen their awareness of discipline and the law, fortify their ideological defenses, earnestly implement the spirit of the CPC Central Committee’s Eight-point Decision on Improving Party and Government Conduct, and conscientiously act as model practitioners of compliance with discipline and the law.

Other members of the Group’s (Bureau’s) leadership team, heads of all departments at headquarters, and personnel at or above the level of deputy director‑administrator at headquarters, together with the principal officials of all directly affiliated units based in Beijing, attended the meeting.
