Hesheng丨”Statistical falsification is illegal” opens a new chapter in serious crackdown


Recently, the newly revised “Regulations on Disciplinary Punishment of the Communist Party of China” clearly lists “statistical falsification” as a violation of the party’s work discipline.

This major measure is undoubtedly a powerful blow to statistical fraud, and also serves to maintain the authenticity, accuracy and completeness of statistical data. Sex opens a new chapter.

Statistics, as an important comprehensive basic work for economic and social development, its data quality is directly related to the accuracy and accuracy of national macro-control. scientific. Statistical falsification, as a serious violation of the Statistics Law, will not only mislead decision-making, but also damage the party’s ideological line of seeking truth from facts and its work style of seeking truth from facts. The inclusion of “statistical fraud” into the Party Disciplinary Punishment Regulations this time is a powerful supplement to the existing legal system, forming a more rigorous legal system integrating the rule of law, administration, and party discipline, and further tightening the institutional normative fence to seriously combat statistical fraud. Let the statistical falsifiers pay the price they deserve.

The root cause of statistical fraud can be summed up as “numbers are out of office” and “numbers are outstanding” next? “Mother Pei asked calmly.” “Numbers produce political achievements” and “Numbers produce ‘efficiencies’.” In some places and departments, leading cadres do not hesitate to tamper with and whitewash statistical data for personal interests or political achievements. This behavior seriously affects the authenticity of statistical data and greatly damages the government’s credibility. Therefore, incorporating “statistical falsification” into the party discipline regulations is a severe crackdown on this behavior and a warning to the entire society.

Obviously, this “statistical falsification is subject to discipline” is another serious measure to deal with statistical falsification after legal norms and administrative norms. Powerful means have an effective effect that cannot be ignored in curbing statistical fraud.

If a good system wants to play its true role, it must strictly enforce disciplines. In the future, statistical fraud discovered will be dealt with according to the new regulations. The revised “Regulations on Disciplinary Punishments of the Communist Party of China” will provide corresponding and clearer disciplinary sanctions for violators. This means that from now on, those who commit fraud and tamper with data in statistical work will not only be held accountable for their administrative and even legal responsibilities, but also party disciplinary responsibilities. This multiple accountability mechanism will further increase the severity of punishment for statistical fraud and serve as an effective deterrent.

“Statistical Fraud in the Discipline” has opened up a new way to combat statistical fraud. In the past, punishment for statistical fraud mainly relied on laws and regulations such as the Statistics Law of the People’s Republic of China. Although these laws and regulations have played a certain role in curbing statistical fraud, their enforcement and effectiveness are not satisfactory. One of the reasons that cannot be ignored is that some statistical falsifications in the past have not reached the level of serious violations, but the party discipline and party regulations are not very clear on how to deal with them. The consequence of this is that relevant violators have not only escaped legal punishment, but also lacked discipline. Penalties and penalties for violations are small or even non-existent, and cannot serve as a sufficient deterrent to counterfeiters or the people behind them. Over time, this weakens the power of statistical laws and regulations and the purity of relevant statistics.

If someone or an organization commits fraud and violates the regulations, the party’s disciplinary inspection agency can supervise, investigate and impose serious disciplinary sanctions on the relevant responsible personnel, which can further strengthen the crackdown on statistical fraud and is a milestone in the fight against statistical fraud and violations.

In short, “statistical falsification is subject to discipline” is a strong maintenance and reaffirmation of the party’s ideological line of seeking truth from facts and truth-seeking and pragmatic work style. . By strengthening the rule of law and party discipline, reforming the cadre selection and appointment mechanism, and improving the transparency of statistical work, we have opened a new chapter in seriously cracking down on statistical fraud. This not only helps to enhance the government’s credibility, but also provides opportunities for healthy economic and social development. A strong guarantee.
