Interpretation of Comics of the International Liaison Department： How the CPC selects leading cadres of the Party and government (Figure)

　　Recently, official website, the International Liaison Department of the CPC Central Committee, published a cartoon atlas to explain how the CPC selects and appoints leading party and government cadres. The intuitive and simple form and relaxed and humorous tone have impressed Chinese and foreign people deeply.

　　"China’s connection with the world is getting closer and closer, and relevant systems including the selection of party and government leading cadres have also become foreign concerns." The relevant person in charge of the International Liaison Department said, "The adoption of comic atlas interpretation is an innovation in form and discourse system, in order to make Chinese and foreign people understand and understand."

　　What are these cartoons about? How to choose the leading cadres of the CPC party and government? In this regard, this newspaper has sorted out.

　　How to choose the highest leadership of the CPC?

　　The leading cadres of the party and government of the Communist Party of China cover a wide range, among which public officials in leading positions in party and government organs at all levels are the main body. How did the top leaders and leading bodies of the CPC come into being? Let’s take the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China as an example to find out.

　　The first is the election of the Central Committee and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. From July 2011 to June 2012, the Central Committee sent 59 inspection teams to inspect, identified 727 inspection objects, and formally elected 506 members of the "two committees" through nomination, voting and election.

　　Then there are elections in the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC). Nominated by the last session of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, the newly elected plenary session of the Central Committee drew up a list of official candidates, and voted by secret ballot to elect 25 members and 7 members of the Standing Committee.

　　Finally, the emergence of the General Secretary of the Central Committee. The general secretary is the person in charge of The CPC Central Committee. He is elected by the plenary session of the Central Committee and must be elected from the members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee.

　　In fact, the characteristics of the selection and appointment of leading cadres of the Party and government of the Communist Party of China are as follows: first, there are both "election" and "promotion", public opinion polls and voting, as well as organizational recommendation and inspection, so as to select talented cadres; Second, having both ability and political integrity, especially in the aspect of "morality", has strict requirements for cadres; Third, pay attention to actual performance, and strive to select leading cadres who have the ability and hard work spirit and are recognized by the masses.

　　What are the procedures for selection and appointment?

　　Xu Hongwu, former director of the Political Science Teaching and Research Department of the National School of Administration, said: "Unlike the western free competition election method, the CCP selects and appoints leading cadres by combining deliberative democracy with voting democracy. After layers of inspections, full brewing, and consultations between all parties, it reflects the Chinese cultural tradition of harmony. "

　　In China, becoming a leading cadre of the Party and government, especially a high-level leading cadre, is by no means easy. The chance of standing out from the ranks of ordinary civil servants and becoming a ministerial-level cadre is only one in 140,000, and the average time required is at least 20 years.

　　The basic procedures of selection and appointment are mainly divided into two situations: leadership change and individual adjustment.

　　There are five steps in the process of selecting and appointing leaders: step one, the Party Committee and its organizational departments move to form a work plan; The second step, after democratic recommendation, determine the object of investigation; The third step is to investigate the object of investigation from five aspects: morality, ability, diligence, achievement and honesty; The fourth step, the party Committee will discuss collectively and vote on the basis of full discussion to decide the appointment and dismissal; The fifth step, post execution, follows the pre-post publicity system, post talk system and post probation system.

　　Under normal circumstances, leading cadres are gradually promoted according to procedures, but in order to find more talented and practical cadres, there are also some flexible employment methods, such as open selection for the society and competition for posts within the unit or system. In addition, outstanding cadres can be promoted without exception or because of special needs of their work.

　　How to supervise and evaluate after the appointment?

　　"Unrestricted power will inevitably lead to corruption", and supervision and assessment are important links to ensure that power is not abused in the process of selecting and appointing party and government leading cadres.

　　The supervision of party and government leading cadres is mainly divided into two aspects: "Party discipline supervision" and "laws and regulations supervision". "Party discipline supervision" means that cadres are bound by party discipline and are required to follow organizational discipline at all times. "Supervision by laws and regulations" means that in order to avoid illegal promotion and cronyism, all members of the inspection team or their relatives must be avoided during the inspection. In the appointment, anything that involves my basic information, family situation, property and other reportable appointment matters is invalid.

　　In addition to the above-mentioned supervision methods, the Communist Party of China has also adopted the "accountability system for oversight by employing people" to conduct backward investigation on the selection and appointment process. In October last year, the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China carried out special rectification on issues such as inaction and chaos of grassroots cadres at the county level that harmed the interests of the masses. Beijing has also seriously dealt with 10 bureau-level leading cadres for typical problems such as "idle land and failure to start major construction on time".

　　"reactive power is too much." In order to avoid the inaction of leading cadres, the CPC has also formulated various assessment measures including annual assessment, target responsibility assessment and performance assessment. According to statistics, local party and government leading cadres have to face more than 40 indicators every year, and these indicators have their own emphasis and characteristics. Those who fail in the assessment results will face dismissal, demotion and dismissal.
