In 2024, the District Discipline Inspection Commission and Supervisory Committee (DI-SCC) consistently held high the great banner of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and unswervingly deepened political oversight by upholding the "Two Upholds." Centering on the main theme of the "Fifth Anniversary of the People's City Concept," the DI-SCC coordinated and advanced political oversight with key tasks such as the focused rectification of unhealthy tendencies and corruption problems around the people and the "Clean Wind" campaign. It focused its efforts on the positioning, content, strength, and effectiveness of political oversight, providing solid and strong political guarantees for writing the "three major articles" of "New Practice of People's City, Re-innovation and Development, and Revitalizing Yangpu with One Mind."

Grasping Overall Planning, Using Precise Moves to Make Political Oversight More Targeted

Planning and Layout from a High Position

Promoting "firm belief" with "earnest practice," the DI-SCC deeply studied and comprehended the important expositions and series of instructions and directives of General Secretary Xi Jinping, accurately grasped the content of major decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and the Municipal Party Committee, and effectively elevated its political stance to the height of the overall work situation of the Party and the country. Combining with the District Committee's "Regulations on Implementing Major Decisions and Deployments of the Party Central Committee," it accurately identified the entry points and foothold of political oversight, and integrated political oversight throughout the entire process, entire field, and all aspects of Yangpu's People's City construction.

The District Committee resolutely shouldered its political responsibility. The Standing Committee listened to special reports from the District DI-SCC twice, and the principal leaders of the District Committee and District Government successively issued instructions on the annual political oversight report and the supervision of the new round of three-year action plan for the riverside area. The Standing Committee of the District DI-SCC held special research and discussion on the annual political oversight work four times, and wrote the basic idea of "using precise political oversight to guide specification and normalization" into the report of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 11th District DI-SCC. It pioneered the "Four-Linkage and One-Evaluation" supervision mechanism ("Four-Linkage" refers to linkage with the District Committee Office and the District Government Office to precisely "determine the accounts"; linkage with the supervision of the People's Congress to precisely "supervise the accounts"; linkage with the democratic supervision of the Political Consultative Conference to precisely "report the accounts"; and linkage with specialized supervision such as patrol inspection, auditing, and accounting to precisely "check the accounts." "One-Evaluation" refers to carrying out public satisfaction evaluation to precisely "evaluate the accounts"), ensuring from the mechanism level that political oversight moves from "solo combat" to "collective effort."

Focusing on Details

Benchmarking against the "Work Ledger for Promoting the Implementation of General Secretary Xi Jinping's Important Requirements and Major Decisions and Deployments of the Party Central Committee (2024 Edition)" of the Municipal DI-SCC, the District DI-SCC jointly clarified the key goals and tasks for the whole year with the District Committee Office and the District Government Office. In the first round, 34 key tasks were included in the political oversight list, among which the Neijiang big-panel house renovation project was designated as a "one district, one key focus" project led and promoted by the principal leaders of the District DI-SCC.

In mid-2024, combined with the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, the Fifth Plenary Session of the 12th Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, and the deployment requirements of the Ninth Plenary Session of the 11th District Party Committee, a dynamic "adjustment of accounts" was carried out, adding 3 key tasks such as "promoting high-quality integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta" and "rectification of central environmental protection inspections." The number of items on the list increased from 34 to 37. Throughout 2024, a total of 122 supervision contents were refined and formed, and 100 supervision measures were clarified. As of November 2024, all supervision contents have been completed.

Based on the actual situation of our district, 11 items including the supervision of "key leaders" and leadership teams, People's City construction, optimization of the business environment, institutional reform, and burden reduction at the grassroots level were taken as "self-selected topics." Combined with the focused rectification of unhealthy tendencies and corruption problems around the people, and in conjunction with the Audit Bureau and the Finance Bureau, special supervision was carried out on the management of existing housing assets of streets and district-owned state-owned enterprises, realizing coordinated answers to both "required questions" and "self-selected questions."

Grasping Key Areas, Using Precise Supervision to Make People's City Characteristics More Distinct

Closely Following the Vein of High-Quality Development, Supervising at Key Points

Accurately grasping the practical requirements of Yangpu's high-quality development, the DI-SCC focused supervision on the implementation of 32 specific contents such as "promoting industrial cluster development" and "constructing a new round of industrial system framework," focusing on clearing the blockages, stagnation points, and difficulties hindering high-quality development in key areas.

In response to the situation discovered during supervision that "innovation and entrepreneurship vouchers" had single publicity methods and low enterprise awareness, the DI-SCC urged the District Science and Technology and Economy Committee to transform from "passive" to "active." By establishing WeChat groups and other methods, it promptly grasped the effect of policy publicity and enterprise feedback. Currently, a community network covering more than 750 enterprises and 600 institutions has been established, with an application amount of 11.6 million yuan. Through "innovation and entrepreneurship vouchers," more than 70 cross-regional cooperation projects and more than 40 university-enterprise cooperation projects have been facilitated cumulatively.

With the task direction as the supervision direction, the DI-SCC jointly conducted special inspections with the District Committee Office and the District Government Office on the "Regulations on Implementing Major Decisions and Deployments of the Party Central Committee." Full coverage inspections were carried out on 56 departments, 12 streets, and 8 district-owned state-owned enterprises in the district. Individual interviews were conducted with the main leaders of relevant departments (units) 18 times, and small-scale symposiums with middle-level cadres were held 15 times. Through oversight and guidance, 16 types of issues were identified related to the implementation of the New Practice of People's City, further innovation and development, and the unified revitalization of Yangpu. A special report was jointly prepared and submitted to the principal leaders of the District Committee.

Focusing on People's "Urgent Needs, Difficulties, and Concerns," Supervising to Win People's Hearts

Integrating political oversight with the specific requirements of the focused rectification of unhealthy tendencies and corruption problems around the people to "solve a number of practical problems for the people," the DI-SCC, with a sense of mission and responsibility as the birthplace of the People's City concept, urged functional departments to invest more resources and energy to effectively enhance people's well-being, ensuring response to people's expectations.

In the supervision of the "one district, one key focus" Neijiang big-panel house renovation project, the District DI-SCC specifically established a work promotion team, forming a working pattern of "principal leader of the DI-SCC taking charge of promotion + Party Conduct and Work Style Office taking the lead + office-group coordination + main responsibility of the group DI-SCC + territorial responsibility of the Subdistrict Office Discipline Inspection Working Committee." In response to the issues strongly reflected by resident representatives, such as unsatisfactory floors of replacement housing and older housing age, the DI-SCC promoted the District Complete Renovation Office to actively connect upwards, strive for policies, and optimize plans, increasing the number of replacement housing units from 90 to 170, and introducing monetary compensation as a bottom line for the first time. Under precise and effective supervision, the project achieved 100% signing effectiveness on the first day of signing, setting a new record for old housing complete renovation in Yangpu.

In addition to housing, in 2024, the DI-SCC also supervised and promoted 94 practical projects for the people's livelihood, such as the construction of the Fuxing Island medical and health service station in Dinghai Subdistrict Office, the barrier-free facility renovation of the Wujiaochang sunken square, and the reconstruction of garbage bin rooms in Kongjiang East Third Village, maximizing the response to people's expectations.

Grasping Problem Rectification, Using Precise Discipline Enforcement to Make Warnings and Deterrence Stronger

Promoting "Supervision" with "Case Handling," Delineating Bottom Lines and Red Lines

In 2024, a total of 231 supervisions were carried out, 52 problems were found, 93 problem clues were formed, 68 cases were filed involving 68 people, 74 people were handled, and 49 people were disciplined, including accountability for 10 cadres.

In the field of domestic waste sorting, targeting the problems of a waste transportation company in the process of domestic waste transportation, such as non-standard charging management, chaotic accounts, and individual toll collectors even using their positions to act as "black intermediaries" to accept "kickbacks," party and government disciplinary actions were given to 4 staff members successively, and disciplinary inspection and supervision recommendations were issued.

In the process of supervising and promoting the deepening and refinement of the "four responsibilities coordination" mechanism for comprehensively and strictly governing the Party, 10 cadres were successively held accountable by Party discipline for failing to fulfill their responsibilities for governing the Party, and the effectiveness of accountability forcing responsibility implementation became increasingly apparent.

While paving the way with case handling, attention was paid to protecting the enthusiasm of cadres for starting businesses. The "Working Method of the Yangpu District DI-SCC on Applying 'Three Distinctions' to Conduct Fault Tolerance and Error Correction" was explored and formulated, and a collection of typical cases of implementing "three distinctions" was compiled. Throughout the year, fault tolerance, responsibility reduction, or exemption was granted to 9 cadres successively, effectively escorting those who are willing to take responsibility.

Using "One Case" to Drive "One Area," Promoting Long-Term Governance

Firmly grasping the dialectical unity relationship of "punishment, governance, and prevention," the DI-SCC solidly carried out the "second half of the article" of rectification and reform. In 2024, the District DI-SCC took the post-case governance in the "window" field as one of the important contents of political oversight, and actively promoted functional departments to fulfill their main responsibilities.

Targeting the weak links in the "window" in terms of lease filing and residence registration procedures, with the coordination and promotion of the Municipal DI-SCC and the full support of municipal functional departments, through upper and lower linkage, the patch upgrade of the city's residence registration information system was realized, effectively blocking the mechanism loopholes of impersonation registration and uploading false materials. Adhering to deep digging into the root causes of cases, systematically analyzing system loopholes, and deeply grasping the relationship between "one case" and "one category," the DI-SCC continued to release supervision effectiveness.

Focusing on post-case governance in fields closely related to basic people's livelihood, such as "favoritism guarantee" and "relationship guarantee," distribution of assistive devices for the disabled, and management of garbage transportation fees, 30 disciplinary inspection and supervision recommendations were issued, and 36 institutional systems were promoted to be established and improved, further highlighting moving from point to area, learning one lesson and drawing inferences about others, and continuously expanding the effectiveness of political oversight.

Grasping Outcome Application, Using Precise Evaluation to Make Supervision Effectiveness of Better Quality

Adhering to "Open Door Supervision," Using "Effectiveness Pointers" Well

In the process of carrying out the Neijiang big-panel house complete renovation project, a public evaluation mechanism was introduced for the first time. One hundred and sixty community residents were invited to assess their satisfaction with five key areas of oversight, covering: implementation of the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, the State Council, and the Municipal Party Committee on urban renewal, project progress, resolution of people's urgent needs and concerns, and discipline and work style of staff. The satisfaction rate reached 100%.

In the second half of 2024, satisfaction evaluations were conducted for the "Beautiful Homeland" construction in residential areas, with 842 questionnaires distributed. The vast majority of residents expressed approval of the work efficiency of local street offices and functional departments, as well as the timeliness of their response to public demands. The principal and responsible leaders of the District Discipline Inspection and Supervision Commission (DISC) respectively informed the heads of various democratic parties and specially invited supervisors about disciplinary enforcement and oversight activities. They solicited opinions and suggestions, effectively serving as a bridge and link, broadly gathering public thoughts, expectations, and needs.

Adhering to "Closed-Loop Management," Telling "Supervision Stories" Well

Continuously improving the operating system of political oversight, forming a closed loop of work including research and planning, promoting supervision, discovering problems, timely feedback, promoting rectification, and evaluating effectiveness. The completion of key political oversight tasks is taken as an important reference content and evaluation basis for the performance appraisal of Party and government leadership teams, the accountability and integrity reporting of Party committee (Party group) secretaries, and the quarterly work meetings of the District Committee and District Government.

Fully summarizing supervision experience and deeply excavating supervision examples, the DI-SCC told "supervision stories" in a "seeing people, seeing things, seeing effectiveness" manner. Liberation Daily specially reported on the supervision practices of the Neijiang big-panel house complete renovation, and the WeChat official account " Clean and Honest Shanghai " forwarded it. China Discipline Inspection Commission Supervision News successively published articles such as "From 'Industrial Rust Belt' to 'Living Showcase Belt': Old Faces, New Landmarks" and "Shanghai Yangpu Focuses on the Phenomenon of Long-Term Delay in Handling Work Orders, Promoting the Transformation of Government Services in Work Style and Efficiency Improvement," focusing on special reports on the work of supervision and promotion of the revitalization and utilization of industrial heritage and promoting the work style governance of grassroots law enforcement and supervision departments.

In 2025, the District DI-SCC will continue to take practicing the "Two Upholds" as the guiding principle, promote the specification, precision, and normalization of political oversight, deeply grasp the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Second and Third Plenary Sessions, and conscientiously study and comprehend General Secretary Xi Jinping's earnest expectations for the construction of People's City when replying to the " Old Poplar Tree Speakers Group." It will strengthen political responsibility, shoulder its duties and missions, consciously integrate into and serve the overall reform situation, and safeguard the high-quality development of Yangpu's People's City construction with more precise and effective supervision.
