Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and National Commission of Supervision

The central hub combining Party discipline inspection and state supervision.

Contents

Formal position

The CCDI is the Party's highest discipline-inspection body and the NCS is the highest state supervision body. They share an organization that links Party discipline, duty-related illegality, and duty-related crime.

Authority and tools

Tools include complaints, lead management, supervision, discipline investigation, liuzhi detention, discipline recommendations, supervision recommendations, and transfer to procuratorates.

Interfaces with other bodies

Inspection and organization bodies provide cadre leads, audit and judicial organs provide specialized information, procuratorates review transferred cases, and courts adjudicate criminal charges.

Power logic

The system centralizes cadre-risk information, investigative coercion, and interpretation of political discipline, allowing anti-corruption to govern both corruption and loyalty.

Evidence limits

Published rules establish authority and procedure, but case selection, unfiled leads, complete detention records, and internal review are generally not public. [1] [2]
