Xinjiang Discipline Inspection Commission

The Xinjiang Discipline Inspection Commission, also known as the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (, ), or Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Commission for Discipline Inspection, serves as the Chinese Communist Party's disciplinary oversight authority in Xinjiang. It is tasked with maintaining party discipline, promoting the establishment of a transparent and ethical administration, and fighting corruption, functioning within a system directed by the commission secretary.

History

The Xinjiang Discipline Inspection Commission was founded in June 1950, when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)'s Xinjiang Bureau formed it as one of its operational departments. On October 1, 1955, the Xinjiang Branch of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party was abolished and succeeded by the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Regional Committee of the Chinese Communist Party. On October 17, 1955, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Supervisory Commission of the CCP was founded, functioning as a department under the regional party committee.

In January 1967, the Supervisory Commission suspended its activities due to the repercussions of the Cultural Revolution and was formally dissolved in September 1967. In May 1978, pursuant to the Party Constitution, the Xinjiang Regional Committee of the CCP resolved to reinstate the Regional Discipline Inspection Commission. In February 1984, during the Third CCP Congress of Xinjiang, the commission was formally rebranded as the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of the CCP and discontinued its status as an internal department of the regional party committee.

In November 2016, the General Office of the Chinese Communist Party released the Pilot Program for Reforming the National Supervision System in Beijing, Shanxi, and Zhejiang, initiating trials in these three areas to create supervisory commissions at all administrative tiers. The initiative sought to investigate structural and systemic improvements, establishing a foundation for broad execution. Supervisory commissioners are elected by the province or municipal people's congresses and function in conjunction with the Party's discipline inspection commissions, creating a cohesive discipline inspection and supervision entity.
