醞釀籌建國家監察委員會被視為是王岐山任內一大功績。這個有「中國ICAC」之稱的新機構與中紀委實際是「兩塊招牌一套人馬」，與全國人大常委、國務院、全國政協、最高人民法院、最高人民檢察院並肩，成為中共治下第六大權力機構。國監委較原中紀委有更大權力，吞併反貪局及檢察院反貪瀆偵察部門，換言之，未來國監委將可持槍執法，是真正的「有牙老虎」。據透露，明年3月全國兩會將修改憲法，宣告成立國家監察委員會。中共轄下第六大權力機構將破繭而出。而各省市縣的國監委亦將相繼成立，負責查處中國除軍隊以外，所有黨政公職和非公職人員的貪贓枉法等行為，成為中國的「ICAC」。http://hk.apple.nextmedia.com/international/art/20171010/20177831

- 全國人大周二以二千九百一十四票贊成、二十八票反對、二十票棄權，表決通過《國家監察法》，中紀委官網則正式改名為「中央紀委國家監委網站」。北京市和浙江省先行國家監察體制改革後，所有公職人員全覆蓋，反腐監察對象分別急升近百萬人及七十萬人。http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/china_world/20180321/00178_004.html

- 中紀委在新年之初即再擴充，向十五家中央金融企業派出紀檢組。這些企業原本設有的紀委，改組為中紀委紀檢組，由企業內設部門，搖身變為直屬於中紀委的反腐「探頭」。這是掌控金融系統的又一重要舉措。http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/news/20190118/00184_012.html


據新華社報道，十九屆中央第一輪巡視工作動員部署會議2日舉行，標誌十九大後首輪中央巡視工作正式啟動，將對30個地方、單位黨組織開展常規巡視。中共中央政治局常委、中央巡視工作領導小組組長趙樂際表示，開展巡視工作，發現問題是生命線、推動解決問題是落腳點。「巡視名單」顯示，十九屆中央第一輪巡視將對河北、山西、遼寧、黑龍江、江蘇、福建、山東、河南、湖南、廣東、海南、四川、貴州、寧夏、住房和城鄉建設部、商務部、文化部、海關總署、國家體育總局、國家食品藥品監督管理總局、國家統計局、新華社、中國核工業集團有限公司、中國華電集團有限公司、中國遠洋海運集團有限公司、中糧集團有限公司、中國通用技術（集團）控股有限責任公司、中國儲備糧管理集團有限公司、中國旅遊集團公司、中國郵政集團公司等30個地方、單位黨組織開展常規巡視。根據《中國共產黨巡視工作條例》規定，對第一輪巡視省區涉及的瀋陽、大連、哈爾濱、南京、廈門、濟南、青島、廣州、深圳、成都等10個副省級城市黨委和人大常委會、政府、政協黨組主要負責人，一併納入巡視範圍。巡視制度是中央和省、自治區、直轄市黨委，通過建立專門巡視機構，按照有關規定對下級黨組織領導班子及其成員進行監督的制度，是中共實現黨內監督的戰略性制度安排。專家認為，中共將巡視工作5年來實踐經驗上升為黨內監督的戰略性制度後，十九屆中央開啟的首輪巡視是這項制度的具體要求和實踐。http://pdf.wenweipo.com/2018/02/04/a11-0204.pdf

- http://www.chinadailyasia.com/business/2015-12/28/content_15364294.html  Chinese regulators have fined eight major Korean, Japanese and European shipping companies on price-fixing charges, expanding anti-monopoly enforcement that has hit the auto, technology and dairy industries. The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said in a statement Monday its investigators found managers of the shippers, which included South Korea's EUKOR and Europe's Wallenius Wilhelmsen, improperly coordinated bids and routes. The companies were fined a total of 407 million yuan (US$62.86 million). Investigators found Europe's Wallenius Wilhelmsen, South Korea's EUKOR, Japan's Mitsui OSK. Lines and other shippers improperly coordinated bids and routes to keep prices high, the Cabinet's planning agency said. An eighth shipper, Japan's NYK, was found to have colluded but was spared a fine. Regulators have investigated or penalized automakers, dairies and technology suppliers under China's 2008 anti-monopoly law in an effort to force down prices Chinese consumers complain are too high. Business groups say the secretive and abrupt way investigations are conducted is alienating foreign companies. Regulators deny foreign companies are treated unfairly. The latest penalties target "roll-on, roll-off" shippers that move cars, trucks and construction equipment aboard specialized vessels that carry hundreds and sometimes thousands of vehicles. Representatives of the companies met over a period of more than four years to share information and make deals to avoid competition, the NDRC said. It said the collusion covered routes linking China with Europe, North America and Latin America, and involved multiple auto brands.

-  China is revising its anti-monopoly law, the first such move since the legislation took effect 10 years ago. The draft by NDRC will be submitted for review next month, according to an official from the country's top economic planner. The revision is expected to incorporate into law the fair market competition review system outlined by the State Council, the nation's Cabinet, according to an official from the National Development and Reform Commission with direct knowledge of the matter who declined to be named. Officials from local governmental regulatory bodies will be held accountable for administrative monopoly abuses such as granting favorable conditions to preferred enterprises at the expense of other market players, the official said.Once the draft is approved by the National People's Congress, the country's top legislative body, it will be illegal for policymakers to create preferential policies to favor certain companies or limit their market access.Based on its past law enforcement experiences, the NDRC hopes that some unclear areas that may cause confusion can be better addressed in the revision of the legislation, the official said. The official said the draft version is expected to be submitted to the State Council for review by the end of this month. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2017-09/15/content_32017683.htm

• https://www.ft.com/content/78762494-d0c7-11e6-9341-7393bb2e1b51 China has moved closer to dismantling a 2,000-year-old government monopoly on table salt by allowing producers to set prices and sell directly to the market. The monopoly has supported successive Chinese rulers from the Han dynasty onwards, and helped pay for the construction of the Great Wall. The Communist party retained the monopoly after taking control of the country in 1949, with courts continuing to imprison private salt sellers even in the past decade. The reforms, which break the government’s stranglehold over an essential element in Chinese cuisine, come as market-oriented changes in several other sectors aimed at curbing the power of state monopolies have stalled. China's state media on Monday said the move would lead to lower prices, with broadcaster CCTV hailing it as a “policy red envelope”, referring to the money-filled packets traditionally given away around Chinese new year. Producers will be able to sell salt at a price set according to “production costs, product quality and market supply and demand” from the start of 2017, the country’s top economic planning agency, the National Development and Reform Commission, said last year.  But it warned that officials should ensure “basic stability” of salt prices by establishing reserves, similar to the way China controls pork prices, which are determined by the market and also a strategic reserve that officials can tap to mitigate inflation.  China’s State Council has said that salt producers will now be permitted to sell the substance directly across Chinese regions. Such producers previously sold to state-owned distribution companies, which made the bulk of the industry’s profits.

The commissions would be implemented nationally later, it said.  The goal was to build a state anti-corruption organ under the party’s leadership that would integrate separate government anti-graft forces and cover all public servants, the report said.  The new body will in theory be independent of the executive branch. Members of the three provincial-level anti-graft bodies, or supervision commissions, would be appointed by provincial legislatures, the report said.

- A draft law that has clarified conditions and procedures for transferring criminals between China and other countries will facilitate international cooperation in fighting transnational crimes and graft, lawmakers and experts said. The draft law on international criminal judicial assistance, submitted to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the country's top legislature, for second deliberation on Monday, includes a new chapter on the transfer of criminal convicts.  It stipulates that a foreign country can make a request to China on the transfer of its citizens who have been convicted of crimes in China. The transfer will get a green light if the convict's offense also constitutes a crime in the home country, the verdict in China has taken effect and the convict gives written consent for the transfer, according to the draft law. But the transfer request could be rejected by China if the convict has received a suspended death sentence or life in prison, if the remaining sentence is less than a year, or if the convict still has cases pending in China, the draft law stipulates. In turn, the draft law sets up procedures for China to make a request to a foreign country on the transfer of a Chinese citizen who has been convicted of crimes abroad. The draft, submitted to the legislature for the first reading in December, also creates procedures for requests for investigation and evidence collection generated by China or a foreign country. A draft law usually receives three readings at the top legislature before being adopted. http://usa.chinadaily.com.cn/a/201810/23/WS5bce606da310eff303283e34.html
