Investigate the risks of integrityGuarantee smooth preparation
On July 27, the 4th China International Import Expo ushered in a 100-day countdown to the opening. At present, various preparatory work has achieved initial results, and the company exhibition recruitment has achieved the expected goals on schedule. The number of Fortune 500 and industry-leading companies signed to participate in the exhibition has exceeded the previous one. More than 50 countries have confirmed their participation in the online national exhibition. In order to ensure that the CIIE is “getting better and better” and steadily advancing the preparatory work, the China International Import Expo Bureau and the National Convention and Exhibition Center (Shanghai) Commission for Discipline Inspection focus on the progress of key tasks and monitor the possible integrity risks in each preparatory link.
“Due to the nature of the work, the National Convention and Exhibition Center has many service providers, highly concentrated assets and frequent commercial activities. Bidding and procurement and service provider management have become key links that are prone to corruption risks, and they are also a major challenge for supervision.” National Convention and Exhibition Center (Shanghai) Shi Huangjun, deputy secretary of the party committee and secretary of the Disciplinary Committee, told reporters that the Import Expo Bureau and the National Convention and Exhibition Center (Shanghai) Disciplinary Committee actively carried out full-field, full-caliber, and full-time investigation and supervision for possible risk points. Through the establishment of a reasonable and quantifiable assessment system, the daily management and supervision of service providers has been strengthened. In order to prevent the risk of violations in bidding and procurement, while strictly implementing the relevant rules and regulations of bidding and procurement, explore and promote electronic bidding and procurement, so as to facilitate the traces of the whole process and real-time supervision.
As the world’s first large-scale national exhibition with import as the theme, how to ensure the safety of project funds is also the focus of supervision by the Discipline Inspection Commission of the organizer.“There are many centralized procurement projects prepared for the CIIE, which involve a large amount of money. This is also the focus of supervision. For projects that do not reach the centralized procurement quota, they are likely to become blind spots for supervision and there is a risk of integrity.” Shi Huangjun said that this year’s non-centralized procurement projects were also blocked. It is listed as the key supervision scope of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and is managed by referring to the centralized procurement method.
At present, there are new changes in the domestic and international epidemics, and epidemic prevention and control cannot be relaxed in the slightest. This year’s CIIE also puts epidemic prevention and control at the top of the city’s service guarantee, to achieve more precise epidemic prevention and control, finer service guarantees, smoother city operations, more significant spillover effects, and a stronger brand of the CIIE.The National Convention and Exhibition Center (Shanghai) uses daily exhibitions to strengthen epidemic prevention and control drills and insists“One exhibition, one policy”, special prevention and control, focusing on “people, objects, and pavilions”, strengthen the prevention and control of the epidemic situation at the CIIE.
Affected by the epidemic, this year’s CIIE has also fully mobilized online space during the preparation process. As an important part of the CIIE, the National Exhibition will usher in a new display platform, inviting willing countries to use the official website of the CIIE to carry out online exhibitions, and will use virtual reality, three-dimensional modeling and other technical means for the first time. China builds a standardized digital exhibition hall to showcase the characteristics of participating countries by theme.（Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and State Supervision Commission websiteChen Yao）
