Our column in this issue continues to focus on the chapter “Improving the System of Institutions through Which the People Run the Country and Developing Socialist Democracy” of the report delivered by General Secretary Xi Jinping of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee at the 19th CPC National Congress, to help our readers gain some insights about the evolvement, nature, and major contents of China’s political system.

 

深化依法治国实践

 

全面依法治国是国家治理的一场深刻革命,必须坚持厉行法治,推进科学立法、严格执法、公正司法、全民守法。成立中央全面依法治国领导小组,加强对法治中国建设的统一领导。加强宪法实施和监督,推进合宪性审查工作,维护宪法权威。推进科学立法、民主立法、依法立法,以良法促进发展、保障善治。建设法治政府,推进依法行政,严格规范公正文明执法。深化司法体制综合配套改革,全面落实司法责任制,努力让人民群众在每一个司法案件中感受到公平正义。加大全民普法力度,建设社会主义法治文化,树立宪法法律至上、法律面前人人平等的法治理念。各级党组织和全体党员要带头尊法学法守法用法,任何组织和个人都不得有超越宪法法律的特权,绝不允许以言代法、以权压法、逐利违法、徇私枉法。

 

Advancing Law-Based Governance

 

Advancing law-based governance in all fields is a profound revolution in China’s governance. We must promote the rule of law and work to ensure sound lawmaking, strict law enforcement, impartial administration of justice, and the observance of law by everyone. A central leading group for advancing law-based governance in all areas will be set up to exercise unified leadership over the initiative to build rule of law in China. We will strengthen oversight to ensure compliance with the Constitution, advance constitutionality review, and safeguard the authority of the Constitution. We will carry out lawmaking in a well-conceived and democratic way and in accordance with law, so that good laws are made to promote development and ensure good governance. We will build a rule of law government, promote law-based government administration, and see that law is enforced in a strict, procedure-based, impartial, and non-abusive way. We will carry out comprehensive and integrated reform of the judicial system and enforce judicial accountability in all respects, so that the people can see in every judicial case that justice is served.

 

We will redouble efforts to raise public awareness of the law, develop a socialist culture of rule of law, and increase public awareness of the principle underlying rule of law that the Constitution and the law are above everything else and that everyone is equal before the law. Every Party organization and every Party member must take the lead in respecting, learning about, observing, and applying the law. No organization or individual has the power to overstep the Constitution or the law; and no one is allowed in any way to override the law with his or her own orders, place his or her authority above the law, violate the law for personal gain, or abuse the law.

 

深化机构和行政体制改革

 

统筹考虑各类机构设置,科学配置党政部门及内设机构权力、明确职责。统筹使用各类编制资源,形成科学合理的管理体制,完善国家机构组织法。转变政府职能,深化简政放权,创新监管方式,增强政府公信力和执行力,建设人民满意的服务型政府。赋予省级及以下政府更多自主权。在省市县对职能相近的党政机关探索合并设立或合署办公。深化事业单位改革,强化公益属性,推进政事分开、事企分开、管办分离。

 

Deepening Reform of Party and Government Institutions and the System of Government

 

Administration

 

We will adopt a comprehensive approach to the setup of Party and government institutions, and ensure that powers are designated properly and functions and duties are defined clearly both for the institutions themselves and their internal bodies. We will use various types of staffing resources in a coordinated way, develop a sound system of administration, and improve the organic law for state institutions. The government needs to transform its functions, further streamline administration and delegate powers, develop new ways of regulation and supervision, and strengthen its credibility and administrative capacity, building itself into a service-oriented government able to satisfy the needs of the people.

 

More decision making power should be given to governments at and below the provincial level, and ways should be explored to merge Party and government bodies with similar functions at the provincial, prefectural, and county levels or for them to work together as one office while keeping separate identities. We will deepen the reform of public institutions to see that they focus on serving public interests, relieve them of government functions, keep them away from business activities, and let them run their own day-to-day operations while maintaining supervision over them.
