On July 12, 2024, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) of the State Council held a warning education conference in accordance with the requirements of the CPC Central Committee on Party discipline learning and education. Zhang Yuzhuo, Party Secretary of the CPC Committee of SASAC of the State Council and Chairman of SASAC, presided over the conference and delivered a speech. Tan Zuojun, Member of the CPC Committee of SASAC and Vice Chairman of SASAC conveyed guiding principles in the relevant key speeches made by General Secretary Xi Jinping. Gong Tanghua, Chief Inspector of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) and the National Commission of Supervision (NCS) of the People's Republic of China at SASAC, and Member of the CPC Committee of SASAC, reported and analyzed typical cases of disciplinary violations and illegal activities of bureaus under SASAC and relevant central state-owned enterprises (central SOEs). He also put forward requirements for deeply learning from the lessons of these cases and promoting full and rigorous governance over the Party of SASAC and central SOEs. Weng Zuliang, Party Group Secretary and Chairman of China Minmetals, Chen Dexin, President and Deputy Party Group Secretary of China Minmetals, and other members of the Party Group of China Minmetals attended the conference at the breakout room of China Minmetals via a video link.

It was pointed out at the conference that we should deeply study and understand General Secretary Xi Jinping's important discourses on comprehensively strengthening the Party discipline, and further deepen, refine and improve the study, knowledge, understanding and observance of discipline. We should effectively enhance the political consciousness of abiding by rules and discipline and firmly support the "two establishments" (establishing Comrade Xi Jinping's core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole and establishing the guiding role of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era). We should resolutely uphold General Secretary Xi Jinping's core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole, and resolutely uphold the Party Central Committee's authority and its centralized, unified leadership. Besides, we should effectively enhance the ideological consciousness of abiding by rules and discipline, and strengthen our consciousness of the need to maintain political integrity and moral integrity, to observe Party rules and discipline, and to combat corruption. In addition, we should effectively enhance the action consciousness of abiding by rules and discipline, firmly establish and practice the correct concept of political achievements, and resolutely shoulder the important task of promoting the high-quality development of SASAC and central SOEs.

It was emphasized at the conference that we should further use cases to promote correction, and examine and reflect on ourselves by referring to the cases we know. We should hold discipline in awe and respect and hold the bottom line through the all-round self-inspection. We should also build a loyal soul with strict discipline and consolidate the ideological foundation with strict discipline. Besides, we should strengthen the principle of responsibility with strict discipline, and always maintain integrity with strict discipline.

It was emphasized at the conference that we should tighten the "master switch" of ideals and beliefs, stay true to our original aspirations, and build three fundamental views. We must exercise our power appropriately, and properly handle the relationship between "public and private interests", "power and money", and "affinity and transparency". What's more, we must uphold the bottom line of Party discipline and national laws, and keep in mind the warning that 'do not touch those which don't belong to you, or you will be caught'. We must establish strict standards and strictly abide by the eight-point decision of the CPC Central Committee on improving Party conduct. In addition, we must truly combine strict discipline with deep care, and carry out strict and practical supervision and management of cadres.

It was required by the conference that we should address both symptoms and root causes, and that we should work together, make persistent efforts and obtain real achievements in in-depth promotion of full and rigorous governance over the Party. We should effectively promote the fulfillment of responsibilities, intensify the fight against corruption, and create a clean and upright atmosphere.

The conference was also attended by the non-leadership executives, main heads of headquarters departments and members of the leadership teams of directly-managed enterprises of China Minmetals by a video link.
