CHINA-INTERNAL: PARTY DISCIPLINE

China Discipline Inspection, a newspaper run by the Central Discipline Inspection Commission (CDIC) Oon November 8, 2017, reported that two members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) were held accountable for bringing books with serious political issues from overseas. The paper said that Party members who bring books, audio and video products, or e-books have to be held accountable in accordance with Party discipline regulations. The report said the two officials, surnamed Li and Wang, were from a State-owned enterprise (SOE). They brought two books which distorted the history of the People's Liberation Army and defamed some former leaders in China after their overseas business trip. The public security bureau detained them for spreading the books among friends and relatives. Li and Wang were held accountable for violating Party discipline. Li, who was secretary of the SOE's Party committee, was also held responsible for overlooking the wrong ideas and deeds. The newspaper added "As leaders of the Party committee in State-owned enterprises, Li and Wang should stick to Party principles and safeguard the image of State leaders. However, they privately brought back books with serious political issues and have made bad social influence. Upholding Party political discipline is an important basis for being faithful to all the regulations and disciplines. The essence of obeying political disciplines is to uphold Party leadership, be absolutely loyal to the Party, maintain a high degree of consistency with the CPC Central Committee, safeguard the unity and unification of the Party and uphold the authority of the Party Central Committee."
