History

Inspection work began in the early 1990s and was a collaboration between the Organization Department and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the party's anti-graft body. The decision to formally establish the leading group was announced in November 2009 by the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party.[1]

The group gained special prominence since 2013 under the leadership of Wang Qishan as a result of the wide-reaching anti-corruption campaign following the 18th Party Congress. Under Wang Qishan, inspection teams have been sent out in several 'rounds', with each round numbering about a dozen inspection teams who 'embed' themselves as part of a regional or central organization for weeks to conduct inspection work on party disciplinary enforcement. Several prominent cases, such as that of Hubei Vice-Governor Guo Youming, Inner Mongolia politician Wang Suyi, Guangzhou CCP Committee Secretary Wan Qingliang, and a whole host of officials from Shanxi province, were initiated by the central inspection teams.[citation needed]

Functions

The Leading Group and its General Office is tasked with dispatching "inspection teams" (xunshizu, 巡视组) to CCP bodies, provinces, central government organs such as ministries, and state-owned enterprises.[1][2] The Leading Groups is headed by the secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, with the Head of the CCP Organization Department and the Director of the National Supervisory Commission usually serving as deputy heads.[2] The daily affairs of the Leading Group is handled by its General Office, which is located at the CCDI.[2] Each provincial-level CCP committee has its own Leading Group for Inspection Work, headed by the secretary of the provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.[2]
