The Party's Institutional Development

Institutional development is a long-term, all-encompassing endeavor of vital importance that provides stability and continuance.

Encompassing development of rules and regulations that guide the Party’s exercise of leadership, as well as intra-Party activities, it is an important aspect of Party development, and vital to other Party development activities. It provides an institutional framework with a complete set of norms and directives to guide all programs and initiatives.

The report to the 19th CPC National Congress reiterated the imperative to enhance institutional development, reflecting the Party’s deeper understanding of its vital importance and the need to incorporate it in all Party building activities. Enforcing strict Party discipline requires developing rules and regulations, and confining the exercise of power within an institutional cage. All organs, activities and officials are subject to institutional oversight and constraints without exception.

Institutional development must focus on developing an intra-Party framework of rules and regulations on the basis the Party Constitution and the principles of democratic centralism, with the aim of tightening institutional constraints. Educational outreach must be expanded to raise the awareness of the importance of institutional oversight and constraints, and to help strengthen the theoretical basis for institutional development. Accountability enforcement must be enhanced, and the principle of equality before the rules and regulations in effect must be applied to all with no exception. Clear lines that can never be crossed will be established to ensure the effectiveness of accountability enforcement.

黨的制度建設

制度建設是具有根本性、全局性、穩定性和長期性的重大問題。黨的制度建設是指黨在長期領導工作和黨內生活中形成黨的組織和黨的成員必須共同遵守的黨內法規、條例、規則等黨內制度，其既是黨的建設的一個重要方面，也是黨的各項基礎建設的關鍵環節。黨的制度建設通過對各項工作制度化、規范化，形成黨的一系列規章制度，從而為黨的其他方面的建設提供基本遵循和制度保障。中共十九大報告強調把制度建設貫穿黨的各項建設之中，表明黨深化了對制度建設的規律性認識，更加注重凸顯制度建設的重要地位和作用。推進全面從嚴治黨，必須堅持制度治黨、依規治黨，把權力關進制度的籠子，用制度管權、管事、管人。加強黨的制度建設，必須建立健全以黨章為根本、民主集中制為核心的黨內法規制度體系，扎緊制度籠子；必須強化制度宣傳教育，增強全黨制度意識，筑牢制度治黨的思想基礎；必須嚴格執行制度，堅持制度面前人人平等、制度執行沒有例外，增強黨內法規制度執行力，使制度成為“硬杠杠”“高壓線”。
