context: Early speculation about the National Supervision Commission's role as an independent supervisory force over the party and the state has been dashed by the inadequacy of Supervision Law and repeated stress on Party leadership in anti-corruption work.
The ultimate goal of supervision system reform is to strengthen Party leadership, says Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI). Despite the success that anti-corruption work has achieved since its launch, it continues to face serious challenges, such as detachment from the public, foot-dragging, and uneven enforcement, says CCDI. The National Supervision Commission has consolidated responsibilities including administrative supervision, corruption prevention, and professional crime prevention, it explains. It will follow the same routine as CCDI but function under its own name to carry out the dual function of discipline inspection and supervision, says CCDI.
