  (3) The party group fully performs the main responsibility of inspection and rectification.

  In order to coordinate the implementation of inspection and rectification, the Party Group of the State Council Overseas Chinese Affairs Office set up a leading group for inspection and rectification, and its office is located in the Party Committee of the government. The leading party group actively performs the main responsibility, adheres to the problem orientation, and scientifically formulates the list of problems, the list of responsibilities and the list of rectification according to the feedback from the central inspection. The party group has held nine special meetings to study the party building work, including eight inspections and three special inspections.

The party secretary set an example, actively fulfilled the responsibility of the first responsible person, comprehensively grasped the inspection and rectification, carefully guided and revised the rectification plan of the whole office, personally questioned key and difficult issues, and personally supervised important matters. During the rectification period, he visited five departments and units and talked with party and government leaders of key departments and units many times.

The inspection opinions and rectification suggestions fed back by the inspection team were carefully sorted out, and a list of 32 questions was formed. For each question, the responsible leader, responsible department and completion time limit were clarified one by one. On October 18th, all departments and units put forward rectification opinions on the list of problems, and the patrol rectification office carefully summarized and sorted them out, and formulated a comprehensive rectification plan. After careful discussion, study and revision at the party group meeting, a "1+6" rectification plan system (1 comprehensive rectification plan and 6 special rectification plans) was formulated to promote rectification in an all-round, three-dimensional and dead-end way. Among them, the comprehensive rectification plan put forward 80 rectification measures; The six special rectification plans include giving play to the role of overseas Chinese to help build the "Belt and Road", strengthening party building in government organs, and selecting and employing people.

The patrol and rectification office will also sort out the comprehensive rectification plan according to the rectification measures led by each party group comrade and the rectification measures led by various departments and units, and establish a rectification and supervision work account to supervise one by one to ensure that the rectification tasks are completed on time and achieved practical results.

  1. Enhance the "four consciousnesses" and strengthen the construction of the party group.

  In view of the inspection opinions, the the State Council Overseas Chinese Affairs Office’s leadership is not strong enough, the team lacks cohesion and combat effectiveness, and the core role has not been effectively formed. The the State Council Overseas Chinese Affairs Office made a deep reflection and made serious rectification.

  First, strengthen and improve the party group’s own construction and system norms, and give full play to the core leadership role of the party group in all the work of the whole office. According to the requirements of inspection and rectification, guided by the spirit of the Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, we revised the working rules of the party group, the detailed rules for implementing the spirit of the eight central regulations, and the implementation measures for implementing the "Regulations on the Selection and Appointment of Leading Cadres of the Party and Government".

Firmly establish a clear orientation of grasping the grassroots and strengthening the foundation, and stipulate that party members should conduct grassroots party building research once a year. On the other hand, on the basis of the weekly meeting of the original director’s office, the monthly meeting of the director’s office has been added, requiring the top leaders of all departments and units to hold their own team meetings to study the work before the meeting, and report their monthly work and plans for the next month at the monthly meeting, which must include party building and ideological work. The party group set an example, and the director’s office meeting also deployed and inspected the party building and party style and clean government construction with the business work, and urged the implementation in the form of meeting minutes, grasping the first level and compacting the main responsibility. The second is to adjust and enrich the members of the leading group for party building work and improve and standardize the minutes of party building work meetings.

Party committees and grass-roots party organizations are required to implement each work measure item by item in accordance with the requirements of the "two studies and one work" study and education implementation plan. Open "in the office intranet""Two studies and one doing" study and education column, announced to the whole office the "two studies and one doing" study and education plan of the party group and grass-roots party organizations and the implementation progress, and accepted the supervision of the masses in party member. Taking the special rectification of the problem of "black under the lights" in party member as the starting point, we will comprehensively strengthen the basic institutional construction of party building in government organs, establish and improve the system of "three meetings and one lesson" and the change of party organizations at the grass-roots level, print the minutes of branch meetings, etc., and carry out party member study and education, strictly organize life, perform the duties of branch secretaries, summarize and promote the application of branch work law, focus on rectifying the centralized investigation of organizational relations in party member, and investigate and clean up party member’s violation of discipline and law at the grass-roots level every month.
