紀(jì)律高壓線 (jilv gaoyaxian): Discipline as a high-voltage cable

The top discipline inspector of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said at a recent anti-corruption meeting that Party regulations and discipline should serve as a live high-voltage cable in front of the legal bottom line to prevent all Party members and officials from breaking the law.

The discipline inspector pointed out that the Party's regulations should be stricter than the law. Enforcement of the regulations is the major task of discipline inspection authorities, as it may prevent officials and other Party members from making serious mistakes and violating the law. Anyone who breaks the Party's discipline will be strictly dealt with according to related regulations.

The discipline inspection authorities should strictly perform their duty by strengthening supervision over officials at all levels. The accountability mechanism should also be enhanced. Those who fail to discover or report problems should be punished due to their dereliction of duty or malfeasance.
