Violation of public funds abroad (territory) will be expelled from the party.

In order to punish officials to travel abroad with public funds, the CPC Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has recently announced the new regulations, which will give the organization of public funds to go abroad (border) tourists, to revoke the duties of the party or to leave the party to see the punishment, the serious circumstances will be expelled from the party.

The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection recently issued the interpretation of several issues concerning the application of the "Regulations on disciplinary actions of the Communist Party of China" in the use of public funds to go abroad (territory) tourism and related violation of discipline. It clearly defined the behavior of "going abroad with the public funds (Tourism)", that is, "without going abroad (territory) official business, organizing or participating in the activities of visiting or sightseeing outside the country (territory) by paying all or part of the cost of public funds, including the absence of substantive public duties, and in the name of investigation, study, training, seminars, investment promotion, exhibitors and conferences, etc., in disguised form, the use of public funds to travel abroad."

At the same time, the interpretation, combined with typical cases, aims at the behavior of traveling abroad with public funds abroad (territory), and closely related to it, seeking to use public funds to go abroad (territory) and seeking profit from the purpose of the double cross group to go abroad (territory) with the public funds in an unjust way, which stipulates 12 kinds of specific disciplinary acts. It also defines the relevant provisions of the party discipline punishment regulations that should be applied to Party discipline, and provides system guarantee for the further development of the special administration of public funds abroad.

Shenzhou small talk: "prior intervention" should be equal to "ex post supervision".

Public funds abroad travel is a chronic disease in public expenditure. Officials at all levels have been spending money abroad in the name of study and public service, which has been a common phenomenon for many years.

This unhealthy trend in the name of public service is not only a huge waste of national finance, but also a channel for many corrupt officials to escape.

The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has promulgated new regulations to severely punish public funds to travel abroad. The relevant regulations are not "high". However, to eliminate public funds to travel abroad and avoid the waste of huge public funds, in addition to strict "post supervision" and "post accountability", we need to strengthen pre process prevention and process supervision.

In advance, prevention is to strictly tighten the examination and control, strictly control the project, scale and cost of going abroad. The process monitoring requires the relevant departments to strengthen the supervision and inspection of the use of overseas funds; at the same time, the local governments and ministries and commissions should be forced to publish the detailed accounts of "three public consumption", forcing all units to publicized in advance for each overseas study; in addition, increasing the supervision of public opinion and the news media on public funds tourism.

As a result, public funds abroad travel in the public eye naturally difficult to weather.

Eradication of repeated public funds to travel abroad is not a day's work.

It is not a mere empty talk to strictly examine before the event, supervise the process in a timely manner, catch up with punishing supervision afterwards and eliminate public funds.
