Can the "Integrity Message" play an anti-corruption role?

The messages from relatives are different from the same old political propaganda slogans. They "emphasize warm colors and reflect the feeling of home" and can be "entered into the brain and heart", allowing party members and cadres to subtly strengthen their beliefs and standardize their behavior.

The messages from relatives can create new moral laws in the minds of officials, thus killing those corrupt thoughts. One of the important weights lies in emphasizing the correlation between individual and family interests. In view of the prominent position of family values ??in the moral spectrum of Chinese society, stability is an important symbol of family. When the tradition of Chinese society emphasizes the individual, it has always placed the individual within the family system.

The Zhengzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, which uses "Integrity and Family Message" to prevent corruption, has good intentions. A clean and honest officialdom ecology also requires mobilizing the power of all parties in society to drive power step by step into a cage woven by supervision and restraint forces. Of course, this also includes the advantageous power of family affection in the emotional influence offensive. I believe most of the "Integrity and Family Affection Slogans" hung in cadre offices are sincere. For officials, these family slogans have a warning effect: when they are ready to act, they always feel wary when they see these slogans and think of the huge risks they will bring to their families.

Most of the "family messages on clean governance" sent by family members to officials are their hope for family peace and happiness. This is also the ideal shared by hundreds of millions of families. Such a message on clean government is full of warmth. Loyalty and

We should not completely deny the emotional side of human nature and underestimate the influence of family on officials just because we value the system. Reminds from family members are helpful. Outside the system, party members and cadres are also ordinary people in society, with their own families and their own emotions. If we can rely on the inspiration of family ties to help officials strengthen their awareness of self-discipline and actively resist corruption and prevent degeneration, it will be a good educational method.

Trying to rely on the call and supervision of family members to make party members and cadres truly "cautious about independence". Family messages. However, by placing the responsibility of supervising corruption prevention on families, the Zhengzhou Commission for Discipline Inspection may have found the wrong helper.

Our country has always had a tradition of "hiding relatives from each other". Families generally do not betray their relatives. If we don’t start from the institutional level, it will be difficult for “family messages on clean government” to be effective and can only become a “playing house” form of supervision.

Social awareness requires official response. Only by preventing corruption can there be institutional innovation and can the public power be introduced into supervision channels. In other words, the issue now is not how to fight corruption, but whether the government has the courage to fight corruption. If this issue remains ambiguous, more and more anti-corruption tactics will emerge, and even public power will vouch for corrupt officials. For example, after Liu Tienan, the former director of the National Energy Administration, was reported in real name, the bureau officially accused the whistleblower of spreading rumors. He did not even apologize to the public until he was finally dismissed. Although anti-corruption requires formal improvement, it must not bypass the institutional level, otherwise more and more tricks will appear, and cadres will accumulate more and more acting skills to pretend to be clean.

It is just a fragile "cage" that does not have much practical significance for fighting corruption and promoting integrity. Instead, it is easy to become a vase with appearance but no reality. Yan Ping
