According to reports from multiple disciplinary inspection and supervision commissions, there have been incidents of party members and cadres accepting gifts and cash in violation of regulations for a period of time. Among them, the phenomenon of giving gifts under the guise of "personal relationships" is not uncommon, and the hidden variations of "red envelope culture" and "gift giving culture" continue to emerge, polluting the political ecology and social atmosphere, which must be taken seriously and prevented. On the occasion of hospitalization due to illness or the death of parents, service recipients shall give gifts to cadres; Before the Spring Festival and the Mid Autumn Festival, private entrepreneurs will present high-end cigarettes and Baijiu; Relying on local connections to get closer, giving large red envelopes under the guise of "visiting children" and "visiting parents"... Recently, some bribe givers have been disguised as "human connections" to exercise their power and make money transactions. In terms of identity, personal relationships such as relatives, classmates, and fellow villagers are used to establish connections; In terms of timing, choosing traditional festivals, red and white events, academic advancement, or housewarming to offer bribes; In terms of types, in addition to bribing money, they often give away valuable gifts, consumption cards, etc. to deceive others. The renovation of bribery methods, with grandiose names, has made some party members and cadres relax their vigilance and step into the minefield. The relevant cases present a distinct feature of wind and corrosion integration. Some party members and cadres believe that they can distinguish right from wrong and that it is normal to have some reciprocity in personal interactions. The problem is that although a bottle of wine, a meal, a box of tea, and a crab card are small, they are the beginning of the loss of principles for party members and cadres, and the "long-term investment" and "bridge building and road paving" of illegal elements. The so-called "human feelings" continue to accumulate, and in the future, "returning feelings" will naturally follow. Criminals are not interested in party members and cadres buying things privately and giving red envelopes as rewards, but in using public power to request and exchange benefits. Party members and cadres who fail to see the traps behind human emotions will inevitably lose out on the bigger picture, be swayed by trends, and become corrupt. For party members and cadres, we should not show favoritism when talking about personal relationships, and we should not forget our principles when valuing emotions. It is understandable for party members, cadres, and relatives to have normal interactions, demonstrate etiquette, and express emotions. What discipline prohibits are personal relationships that "may affect the fair execution of official duties" and "clearly exceed normal reciprocity". Party members and cadres who engage in transactions with management service objects based on public power, involving amounts significantly exceeding the local economic level, customs, etc., do not belong to normal human relationships and should be investigated and punished in accordance with regulations and discipline. It should be noted that some speculators use methods such as group red envelopes, logistics and express delivery, and gift cards on e-commerce platforms to transfer profits, which have strong concealment and pose higher requirements for supervision and discipline. To rectify the tainted "human relationships", we need to focus on important nodes, pay close attention to "key minorities", focus on key places, highlight problems, and use a combination of daily supervision methods; We should use channels such as letters, visits, reports, and investigations to uncover clues to problems, broaden channels for supervision and reporting by enterprises and the public, and strive for early detection and disposal. Persist in investigating bribery and corruption together, severely punish corrupt individuals, explore and improve the "blacklist" system for bribe givers, and cut off the profit chain of hunting and being hunted, in order to truly deter criminals. Party members and cadres should establish a correct view of power and personal relationships, always have a sense of self-discipline, firmly guard their social relationships, and never relax their vigilance in the face of pleasing others. This will enable them to always maintain their own integrity and purity, and not disappoint the trust of the Party and the people. (New Society)
