China’s ruling party discipline inspectors echo rule of law, support legal reform

BEIJING, Oct. 25 (Xinhua) — Discipline inspectors for China’s ruling party on Saturday threw their weight behind legal reform and promised to implement the latest plans in their fight against corruption.

The fourth plenary session of the 18th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) of the Communist Party of China (CPC)discussed how to best put the decision of the 18th CPC Central Committee on “comprehensively advancing rule of law” into practice.

Wang Qishan, CCDI chief, told the meeting that discipline inspectors should study the decision carefully, improve their work and ensure that “the leadership’s orders will be well delivered”.

In the new legal reform plan, the CPC has installed itself as the leader in promotion of the rule of law in China.

When explaining the relationship between the Party’s rule and the rule of law, Wang said the Constitution defines the CPC’s authority and duties, but Party rules ask the CPC to exercise its power within legal boundaries and implement the law through its policy.
