Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of CPC

Functions:

The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) is the highest internal control institution of the Communist Party of China (CPC), tasked with enforcing internal rules and regulations and combating corruption and malfeasance within the Party. Since the vast majority of officials at all levels of government are also Communist Party members, the commission is, in practice, the top anti-corruption body in China.
According to the Party’s Constitution, the members of the CCDI are elected by the National Congress and serve for a term of five years. Following selection by the National Congress, the CCDI convenes to elect its secretary, deputy secretaries, secretary general, and standing committee. Elected officials must then be endorsed by the Central Committee to assume office. Since 1997, the Secretary of the CCDI has been a member of the Politburo Standing Committee and, since 2009, served as the leader of the Central Leading Group for Inspection Work.
