Dear Saumya and friends, today I will try to bring together the experiences of young IAS probationers in Academy. I am giving my remarks on their experiences. I will keep on updating as and when new ideas come or I find something worthwhile. Later on I will also give my views and summary.For the syllabus of training courses and exams you can consult the websites and more particularly these linksTHE INDIAN ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES (PROBATIONERS' FINAL EXAMINATION) REGULATIONSlbsnaa.gov.inReport of the Syllabus Review CommitteePage on indiatimes.comI am reproducing experiences of others as I have already written about my recollections. Refer to following linkHow does life feel in the IAS Academy, Mussorie?I must admit what I remember are the pleasant and fond souvenirs of a youth, I was less than 25. After so many seasons having passed what remains are the memories, nostalgia, feeling of a certain loss of a golden period. So pardon me if my account is lopsided and biased in a direction.But this two years of training is too long a period. (GoI is planning to shorten it). Even best things loose their charms ,they become dull and monotonous with the passage of time. Well to be frank with you in the second year, we all wait impatiently for our postings as SDM.I will be reproducing the experiences of younger friends for several reasons. I want my answer to be relevant for you. I also wish to see whether the training has evolved or it remains same. If there is a gross departure from my experience or that of my colleagues I will mark it out.Life of an IAS Officer at Mussorie at Time ofTraining. Prabjot Singh IAS Rank 16 DoB 20-02-1986, B.TECH in Electronics and Communications ...When I was preparing for services,whenever I used to meet somesuccessful candidate, I become curiousas to how and what kind of training dothey get after clearing the exam.Today, I am gonna write about it so that youget an idea of life post clearing theexam.My result came (If I remember exactly) on 06th May 2010 and my roll no. was 018114. Ok, let me tel u an interestingstory. The day I was expecting result, i was sitting on internet in my lab in ISRO. Suddenly UPSC site became heavy and it was clear that result has 400 Bad Request heart beat was maximum and I remember I hate to use to ctrl+F button to find/search but there was no alternative. As soon as I entered my roll no. my rank mentioned was 16. I could not realize it and checked again and same result. I firstly thanked Waheguru G for the result. I closed the window and opened it again, same result and then even I shut down the PC and checked it again. You can imagine the kind of anxiety and then I asked my fellow scientist to recheck. I took a print out and went to meet my boss, ascientist 'SG' level officer. There was a meeting going on, but that was the level of happiness, that I went straight into his room, my shirt was out and I was having no words, there were tears in my eyes. I told him the result and suddenly all my lab was enjoying my success. We had a small party at my home there. Next morning, when I woke up I thought I had a wishful dream, I immediately checked my pant pocket and yes, the printout taken was there which has the result my 16th rank. So,that's about the day when Waheguru G changed my life.Now coming to training, I joined my Foundation course (FC) at mussoorie on 30th August Page on 2010.in FC there are IAS,IFS, IPS (except those who didnt join in order to improve their rank) and IFS (Indian Forest Service). The biggest challenge that remains till today is reaching Mussoorie from Dehradun as Iam blessed by Lord to have motion sickness in mountains. Suddenly after reaching in Mussoorie, the day starts at around 5.15 am and morning PT at polo ground which is located around1.5 km downhills. Then after coming back to room ( which we share with other service guys) we get ready for class rooms. The class begins at sharp 9 am and goes on till 5 pm with 1 hourlunch break and 1/2 hour tea break.Mostly people sleep in the class. I was habitual sleeper too. Sometimes, the speaker even wont mind. In the evening we go to play games (badminton (my fav game)). The biggest positive thing in FC is it provides an opportunity to meet so many people from all around the country. The friends made in FC standsforever. FC is also filled with too many activites viz there is India day where all OTs (officer trainees) show there respective culture, fair, plays, village visit for around 10 days, mountaintreks (on weekends local treks in Mussoorie and 10 day long trek in mountains of Uttrakhand, u can imagine my situation during the bus journey for those 10 days) etc. FC ends in December. Then comes the Bharat Dharshan of IAS, the best part of theservice. In that we are divided into groups. Fortunately, the itinery of my group was very good. We travelled from LoC in Kashmir ( Tithwal village, Kishamganga/ neelam river etc.),Jharkhand (Chaibasa), Odisha( puri, bhuvneshvar etc.), Banglore, Hyderabad, Vishakhapatnam, Tirupati,Chennai, Andamans and Nicobar,Kolkata, N. Delhi etc.Then starts the phase 1 of training from Jan end to mid june. Phase 1 is very monotonous and boring, because its very lengthy and class room study is very high in content.My Remarks: I agree to large extent. Yet some do sleep or doze while there are others KTP Keen Type Probationers who would remain awake and pose lots of questions.There is another young friend who complains aboutToo many IAS officers, not enough space at Mussoorie institutethis happens during the foundation course when there are officers from other services also in the academy.You can also see the videos(Videos) Life at LBSNAA - MussoorieExperiences of RandeepLife and times at the Mussoorie AcademyIt’s quite a challenging task to pen down in just a few lines, what seems to be a million memories to cherish. The period of probation, especially the stay at the Academy, is often referred to as a ‘honeymoon’ phase. Leaving aside the corroboration of the above statement to ‘experienced’ persons, I would nonetheless vouch for the fact that it is an experience to savour for times to come.I still vividly remember the early morning mist and chill when I stepped off the train at the Dehradun station with a feeling of having ‘arrived’ in more ways than one. I was looking forward to training at the famed LBSNAA. Though the drive up the Queen of Hills was scenic, the entry wasn’t too romantic. Chaotic traffic at the Mall road meant that it took forty minutes to just cover about half a km to reach the Academy. The gate was the first letdown. It was as big as any other gate that one had seen, with an even smaller board. Having trained at the Police Academy at Hyderabad earlier I expected a king-size gate to welcome me here. Months later when I asked the Director of the academy if the gate could be made to look bigger or even better, his answer was that the size of the gate could never determine the quality of officer trainees or the training imparted. He went on to add that the Academy being named after Lal Bahadur Shastri, embodies his simplicity. Looking back now I don’t reflect on how big the gate or the campus was. But I do know that the stay at the academy has shaped each one of us who had trained here in more ways than one. I would say the intangibles that one has gained during training at the academy will far outweigh the tangible benefits.The process of ‘baptisation’ into the civil service begins from the minute one sets foot in the academy. The initial few days takes a lot of getting used to. Whether it is sharing a room with a stranger, whether it is huffing and puffing all the way up to the Officer’s Mess from Ganga hostel, rising up at ungodly hours for P.T in the biting chill or the sudden downpour just when one was enjoying the day’s warmth, one has to mentally prepare oneself for life at the Academy.The foundation course though is an experience of a lifetime. Four hundred odd persons from different regions, cultures and educational backgrounds, who found their names on the rank-list had all been thrown together to train for three months. It’s a period when prejudices break, unknown fears melt away and we notice ourselves losing some of our inhibitions. Whether it is the ten day long trek in the Himalayas, village visits to the remotest villages in India, innumerable cultural shows at Sampoornanand auditorium, dancing away into the night at the Officer’s Lounge, sports events at the famed Polo Grounds or the much awaited India Day, the primary objective of Espirit De Corps amongst probationers is met satisfactorily. And in a few cases it also helped probationers pick their life-mates. At the cultural shows one got to see ‘southies’ doing the Bhangra and ‘northies’ indulging themselves in Kolaata or Naga dance. The North-South divide which is famously talked about in every FC batch was probably conspicuous by its absence in our batch.However the end of FC also brings with it a pall of gloom. All the other services’ probationers leave for their respective academies and we are left with only our service mates. Most of my friends being across services, I now found myself saying Hi to people I had hardly noticed or interacted with during FC. But just as the famous saying goes that one ending is the start of a new beginning, the journey in the IAS had just begun for me. Two months of Bharat Darshan with ten other new faces and suddenly I had seen more of India than I had ever seen before or would probably ever see again. Add to that the bonding and sharing that one experienced during our innumerable sojourns. Though I must confess as the group leader I had one helluva task in managing the ‘motley crew’ and tried my best to cover up for the absence of a couple of probationers here and there during call on(s).Back at the academy, we were welcomed back and told the long story of who we were and what we stood for (blah...blah...). Honestly it didn’t make much sense to me but I did realise that each one of us stepping out of the academy after our training would have onerous responsibilities on our shoulders. Our batch as such was truly an empowered woman batch. Quite a handful of lady officers were within the top twenty ranks, with the top two ranks going to them too. Of course most of us watched gleefully at the undeclared wars between many to climb up the civil list ladder with a few competing male KTPs also thrown in here and there. For the non-interested types (called ITPs or Invisible Type Probationers) though, the academy was more like a side posting which they were more than glad to wait out before they actually went out for the kill in their respective cadres. I truly hope and wish they are enjoying themselves in the field now and hope the academy invites them to hear their perspective on training.Being a day scholar all my life, I was looking forward to what hostel life could offer. The academy had taken a decision to put us in shared accommodation. Months later during our Phase-II, amidst sniggers, the course director had to defend the decision of shared rooms and argue that it was not the reason for CBMs not materialising within the batch. That aside, sharing rooms as I had noticed in FC came with its own share of problems but I must give credit to my roommate for having put up with me for more than three months. My room-mate being an early-sleeper, many a night when it got late, I had to tip-toe back into my room hoping not to wake him. My efforts though always went in vain. The room itself was strategically placed and offered a scenic view to the play-ground below and the horizon ahead. Many an evening, despite ferocious monkeys threatening to tear me apart, I have enjoyed the evening chai, lazing on the grass outside watching the Sun set. My neighbour was not so lucky though with monkey attacks and in this one particular hilarious incident which has become folklore in our batch he had to give up the chase behind a monkey which was running away with his undergarments!The food at the Mess during our times was nothing much to talk about and most of our waistlines were getting smaller. Of course Mr. Rana, the ubiquitous P.T instructor took all the credit. The early morning whistle broke many a sweet dream and it used to take some effort to throw off the blanket and come down in the biting cold for the morning exercises. One of the probationers who had had enough, through a self confessed letter to the Course Director on his absence at P.T, accepted that he had lost the battle between ‘waking up’ and ‘sleeping more’ in favour of the latter!Coming to the topic of sleeping during lectures, it is something that some of us have mastered over the months without ever getting caught. The auditorium had been aptly named ‘Sampoornanand’. Some probationers have even earned the sobriquet of ‘serial sleepers’ and one has to stop and wonder how they still wake up at the end of the lecture and ask pertinent questions. 'Yours truly’ is also guilty of dozing off on a couple of occasions for which I squarely hold the speaker of the session responsible. My neighbour had caught this unceremonious act on his mobile cam and it became quite a rage when it was passed around the classroom.It’s not been long since I have moved out of the Academy but I do miss the protective environment which the academy provided. One often reminisces the wonderful times spent with batch mates, faculty, staff of LBSNAA and the people of Mussoorie. ‘Life and times at LBSNAA’ would probably take a lifetime to recount. But sufficing to say that here is an institution that has given me a sense of common identity, shared values and a feeling of belongingness to the Service as a whole and am sure that it would be shaping many more minds and giving the country many more able hands to run the wheels of governance smoothly in the years to come and help us stand by our motto – Yoga Karmasu Kaushalam.Posted by Randeep at 10:13 PMAgain Suhas writesROAD TO MUSSOORIESATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2007http://...The FoundationWhen Manveer knocks the door and utters, ‘Chai Sir’, I know its 5AM and I tell myself that the day has begun. I had always thought that getting up at 5AM would be one of the most difficult things to do. Now I believe what I had thought previously is not important but what I have to do certainly is. The physical training with all the exercises really sets the day by bending and tuning all parts of the body, jogging around picturesque Mussoorie is a treat in itself. When we Break-the-fast, we really break it heavy!The Foundation course which I am attending currently spans for nearly 3 months and brings together IAS, IPS, IRS, and other central civil services. It is a platform to develop rapport among future administrators. This is for me,ia currently a phase of transition, from the congested traffic of Bangalore to tranquility of Mussoorie, from Silicon Valley to Himalayan valley.Classes start at 9AM and goes on till 4-30PM. We are taught Public Administration, Economics, Law, Management, and other basics of administration by very eminent personalities who come from different parts of the country.‘Activity’ is the buzzword here. I always wanted to try my hand at different sports. Well, here I have been trying quite a few.. Badminton, Tennis, Squash, Billiards, etc. Movies also form a part of our life with screenings in the auditorium.I had watched ‘Rock Climbing’ in ESPN. Now it was time to try it out. After climbing nearly 150feet vertically with barely anything to stand and hold upon along the vertical, it really gives tremendous satisfaction and confidence. The River rafting and para-sailing experience is equally fulfilling. Experience of adventure sports is one that I will cherish for long time.When you conquer FEAR,Confidence becomes very DEAR.One of the best parts of the training was our trekking expedition in the Himalayas. We started off with Govindghat-ghangria stretch which is 15km uphill(On foot of course), and then climbed up 6km to Hemkund shrine(At 13,000 feet), which is a pilgrimage site for Sikhs. Then we headed to Mana, which is 4kms away from Badrinath and which is the last civilian village in Indian territory. We had tea at ‘Last Tea stall of Indian border’ and then started 15km uphill trek towards Gastoli. This route contains no human civilization and as we move up the oxygen levels dip, The only companion along is the mighty Himalayan mountains that made us feel that life is more than what we think it is. It was a humbling experience that would make anyone realize that Men many come and Men may go, the great Himalayas go on for ever. (Enough of philosophical lecture, I suppose). After we reached Gastoli at 15,000 feet, amidst cold winds and barren mountains, it was a chilling and thrilling experience. We played cricket match at 15,000feet(world’s highest cricket ground is it?). This will stand ‘very tall’ in my memory. After climbing down we visited Badrinath temple, Auli( which has longest/highest ropeway in Asia and also a skeeing paradise), Tehri dam, etc. The journey in narrow roads besides the Ganga, along RudraPrayag, DevaPrayag, KarnaPrayag, etc. is stupendous. ( I am running out of adjectives, please help me!). If you want me to put everything in one phrase, I would say it was ‘Experiencing life and its limits’ .After the trek, equally fulfilling experience was a ‘ Village visit’ program, where we visited a remote village of ‘Nainagir’ in Madhya Pradesh( Shivpuri district) for nearly a week. We were shaken by the ignorance of people, amount of backwardness of villagers. We visited every house trying to learn and address their problems of poverty, unemployment, etc.. I also tried understanding the mid-day meal scheme that works in government schools, where every child gets a meal worth Rs.2/- every afternoon. I did realize that, for every toffee I and you buy, we could buy a meal to a child!There is an India, where entrepreneurship, number of billionaires, CEO’s are growing. Shopping malls, designer clothes, etc. have become the order of the day. There is an India, where umpteen number of poor( more than 25,00,00,000) are looking at the sky praying for the rain gods to save their crops, deprived of primary health care, education, etc. There is an India which is sending satellite to moon, There is an India which is yet to give light to thousands of its villages. My complaint is not about the people who are already in the ‘ship of progress’, but about the size and inclusiveness of that progress ship which should also carry our rural, ignorant countrymen who are currently left out.During the village visit, I tried my little bit by telling the villagers about their rights, government schemes, etc. After I told a small gathering about RTI act, an elderly person stood up to thank me. At that time, I thanked my ‘job/service’ for providing me an opportunity to be of some help to fellow human beings.Activity, one after another was the hallmark of our Foundation course. As our Foundation Course is coming to an end, I know its only ‘The beginning’. The beginning of understanding and being a part of governance of this country.Suhas L Y( The views written in this article are entirely mine)I will also recommend these linksRoad to Mussooriebabus of indiaThe other darker side of training Many years ago or Once upon a dark time. When light had gone out of our nation for a thousand year.My Remarks These extreme things did not happen in our times and I am sure do not happen any-more. In my times there was no bar, nor was there anyone staying behind Charlesville. This account may be true lies or an exaggeration it might be true to an extent. Remember this period represents early 60s. Not in good taste but there was still a very strong hangover of British. You can imagine the situation even after 16 years of independence. Difficult to even think or imagine what the ICS officers must have done. We can only wonder ! What brazenness and how criminal? No doubt we are in such a mess even today. I have always held that our government is predatory and its evolution into welfare, caring and nurturing system is still a work in progress.Recollections of Mahesh Chandra DewedyChoose Your Time and Placeby Mahesh Chandra Dewedy http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Writers&WriterID=0http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Writers&WriterID=0&CategoryID=54"I don’t mean that you should become Brahmcharis (celibates), but choose your time and place.’’ thus culminated the valedictory address of the Director, National Academy Of Administration, Mussoorie delivered to the probationers of the Foundational Course of 1963 batch.Although this Academy is a training Academy for I.A.S. officers, but it also organizes a common Foundational Course for officers of all services selected through the civil services competitive examination. As I was selected in the I.P.S. in 1963, I had also attended this course and was listening to the Director's valedictory sermon with rapt attention.The course syllabus was eminently designed to familiarize us with the Indian social, economic, administrative and political scene as well as to make us sensitive to the aspirations, needs and sufferings of the masses; but, since the academy was administered exclusively by I.A.S. officers, the ambience of the academy was Indian Administrator Sahib (boss) - like. Therefore we, the probationers, had been learning more of the Sahibi-way of living than the problems of the masses. The Director's parting remark had tickled our young hearts in no small measure, while it had summarized the unwritten but real objective of the course in one sentence.On 11th July 1963 it was a cloudy evening when I had arrived at the gate of the imposing Charleville, which housed the National Academy of Administration. As I hailed from a village, my rustic conscience was quite surprised as well as amused to see that the only shop at the gate of I.A.S. training academy was a liquor shop. Later I learnt that this 'Madhushala' (bar) had been established there to help I.A.S. probationers learn the all-important art of drinking without the inconvenience of going to Kulri market.The administrators of the academy (all I.A.S. officers) made no bones about their love for Bacchus and whenever the occasion arose they did not fail to encourage the probationers to learn this Sahibi-habit. One day a Bihari probationer was buying a bottle of Black Knight when a deputy director happened to enter the shop. As the Bihari probationer started concealing his bottle from the gaze of the deputy director, the deputy director reassuringly told him, "Oh! Come on. I am also going to have one."To the credit of these trainers I must admit that they never differed in their words and deeds and always showed large-heartedness so far as their teaching of choosing appropriate time and place – instead of becoming Brahmcharis – was concerned.One evening four I.A.S. officers got a bindas (uninhibited) lady probationer of Indian Railway Accounts Service drunk in a room of Kutesar Castle and then made her condition so pathetic that for about a month she could sit only on a pillow in the classroom. The matter had become the talk of the academy but the administrators, in their concern for the career of the young I.A.S. officers, initiated no action against those probationers, and considered it sufficient to advise them, "Choose bearable number."One year earlier, an I.A.S. probationer had criminally assaulted a minor daughter of a poor man living on the hill-slope behind Charleville Hotel. The then Director, with stated intent of saving the girl's honor, had hushed up the matter after advising the probationer, "Choose proper age."The academy's untiring efforts to inculcate ' right ' attitude among future rulers (i.e., I. A. S. officers) towards other services are no less 'praiseworthy'. I was allotted room no.8 in Stapleton Hostel and one Bagchi, an officer of Indian Audit and Accounts Service, was my roommate. Since the building of Stapleton hostel was old and its maintenance was poor, rooms of this hostel were allotted only to officers of services other than the I.A.S.After two months of our joining, Bagchi got 'elevated' to the I.A.S., because some candidate selected in I.A.S had not joined. Bagchi was immediately allotted a room in the Happy Valley, which was the best among the various hostels. Later one day, when he had come to meet me, he confided, "Mahesh! You know what they ( the I.A.S. administrators) tell the I.A.S. probationers privately? You are there to rule while all others are to serve."This difference between the ruler and the servant became clearer to me when I joined the Central Police Training College, Mt. Abu after completing the Foundational Course. Here the body-breaking training schedule commenced at 6 A.M. and continued till 6 P.M. and even at dinner our conduct remained under watch. Moreover, not only consumption of liquor in the police mess was prohibited but also any light talk about girls was a taboo.However, full realization of the ruler-status of the I.A.S. dawned on me only during my police career later. Here I found that every department and corporation of the Government is under the thumb of some I.A.S. officer either directly, or through secretariat, or both. The Indian Administrative Service is a permanent and all pervasive ruler and all other services are subservient to it. Moreover, the I.A.S. officers are accountable to none excepting themselves – as they say that the king can do no wrong.However, I do not want to miss the opportunity of expressing my gratitude towards the National Academy of Administration, Mussoorie by withholding the fact that my days in the academy were the sweetest I ever had in my life.Explanatory Notes:1. This is a memoir with satirical tinge.2. In India for manning the class one (top) positions of all non-technical departments of the government, a common competition is held yearly in which majority of the best brains of the country participate. The toppers among them ordinarily join Indian Administrative Service (I. A. S.), Indian Foreign Service (I. F. S.), Indian Police Service (I. P. S.), Indian Revenue Service (I. R. S.), Customs And Excise Service, Indian Railway Traffic Service, etc. in that order. Then for five months selected candidates of all services are put through a common Foundational Course of training at National Academy Of Administration, Mussoorie, which is the training academy of I. A. S. officers. In the year 1963 I had the privilege of attending this course as a probationer of Indian Police Service.3. This memoir is about some of my experiences during this course. The I. A. S. is the privileged, powerful, and virtually permanent ruler of the country. Its officers are called generalists and they control all government departments including the technical ones in the field as well as in the secretariat. The satire is on the I. A. S.}30-Sep-2007 More by : Mahesh Chandra Dewedy - See more at: Page on boloji.com

Corruption–whether nepotistic, pecuniary, blatant, discreet, major, or minor–has undermined governments since governments were invented.Except for the ten years following Reform and Opening (which caused the Tiananmen Square demonstrations), corruption never interfered with Chinese policy formation, wage growth, or civic safety as it does elsewhere.But the corruption offended the Chinese people, whose Confucian civilization is very different from our Roman culture, which has been corrupt for 2500 years. Roman politicians were murderously corrupt and Christianity failed to improve them.Confucian governments at least fought corruption, as the The Hongwu Emperor⁠ [1] explained seven hundred years ago,Had I thoroughly eradicated corrupt officials in addition to those already imprisoned I would have been dealing with two thousand men from just two prefectures, men with no useful occupation who used my prestige to oppress people. No-one outside government knew how wicked they were so everyone said my punishments were harsh; they saw only the severity of the law and didn’t know that these villains had used the government’s good name to engage in evil practices.In the morning I punished a few and, by evening, others had committed the same crimes. I punished those in the evening and next morning there were more violations! Although the corpses of the first had not been removed others were already lined up to follow in their path, day and night! The harsher the punishment, the more violations. I didn’t know what to do, but I couldn’t rest. If I was lenient the law became ineffectual, order deteriorated, some people deemed me weak and engaged in still more evil practices. If I punished them others regarded me as a tyrant. How could anyone lead a peaceful life in such circumstances? Really, it was a dreadful situation.Nevertheless, the Confucian approach to corruption was consistently more effective than the Roman, for the Chinese public knew the antidote: before they destroy the State, people must withdraw the Mandate of Heaven from a government lacking the Four Principles–propriety, justice, honesty, and honor–and from officials lacking the Eight Virtues–loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, love, integrity, righteousness, harmony and peace.Rulers went to great pains to promote the most virtuous officials and to eliminate nepotism. Emperor Wu of Han began doing so in the second century BC and, despite officials’ resistance, fourteen centuries later, of two-hundred seventy-nine senior officials whose family histories we know[⁠2], fewer than half had forebears in government. By 2018, the number was under one-fifth. As Frederick Mote[⁠3] says, “China is very unusual, probably unique, in having had two millennia of experience with an increasingly open social structure and social ethos.”This table, from Nancy Park’s Corruption in Eighteenth-Century China, shows how government dealt with corrupt officials (‘salaried persons’) back then:From the earliest days, officials sent to govern provinces were forbidden to take their parents with them lest their needs conflict with the Emperor’s wishes. They were rotated every three years and, after each rotation, their successors were encouraged to report discrepancies lest they be blamed for them. Palace officials were regularly moved between departments and those who committed serious crimes were executed and their families sold into slavery.Everyone, from the humblest peasant to the most eminent politician, knows this history and understands that the surest cure for corruption is promoting honest men to leadership. Many still living saw how a century of chaos devastated public morality and how its effects lingered. As Mao observed during an anti-corruption drive in 1950, “Today, you can buy a branch secretary for a few packs of cigarettes, not to mention marrying a daughter to him.”Mao’s slogan, “The masses have sharp eyes,” encouraged people to report wrongdoing and corruption fell dramatically, just as Confucius had predicted. Though Mao’s insistence on merely shaming corrupt officials rather than executing them infuriated colleagues it worked, says Sydney Rittenberg⁠[4], “Nobody locked their doors. The banks–there was a local bank branch on many, many corners–the door was wide open, the currency was stacked up on the table in plain sight of the door, there were no guards and they never had a bank robbery, ever.”Anticipating that a wave of corruption would accompany the introduction of capitalism, planners redesigned the economy so that entrepreneurs would effectively bribe officials to expedite national development. Says Yukon Huang[5],The system countered the growth‐inhibiting aspects of corruption by setting investment and production targets that gave local officials incentives to promote expansion. It fostered a unity of purpose so that, even when corruption flourished, the collaborators still made growth the guiding principle of their actions. This was reinforced by competition between localities to meet targets and support productivity‐enhancing economic reforms. The competitive element helped curb waste and ensured a modicum of efficiency despite the high degree of state intervention in commercial activities.President Hu Jintao gave the system free rein between 2002-2012 and the roaring economy solved many problems–except corruption. But the government’s alternation of liberal and conservative policies is as ancient and predictable as the moon–and the new cycle followed a nepotism scandal in 2010.Bo Xilai, son of a Revolutionary Immortal (and schoolmate of Xi Jinping), had ignored his father’s pleas to stay out of politics, “You know nothing of the sufferings of ordinary people and just want to capitalize on my name.” Xilai cultivated a charismatic image, was named one of Time’s Most Influential People, rose rapidly to provincial governor and publicly campaigned for a cabinet position. But, as conservative scholar Cheng Li said at the time, “Nobody really trusts him. A lot of people are scared of him, including several princelings who are supposed to be his power base.” With the help of the Minister for Justice, Zhou Yongkang, Bo even wiretapped the President. Michael Wines wrote that, though he possessed prodigious charisma and deep intelligence, he had “A studied indifference to the wrecked lives that littered his path to power...Mr. Bo's ruthlessness stood out.”Then Vice Premier Wu Yi, the nation’s highest woman official, demanded an open investigation in 2012. A court trial revealed that Bo owned expensive property around the world and his wife had murdered a British agent, and the couple was jailed for life. They joined a long line of disgraced elites, like the grandson of Zhu De, China’s Head of State and founder of the Red Army, who was executed for rape, and Yan Jianhong, wife of Guizhou’s powerful Party Secretary, who was executed for corruption.With the economy strong, prosperity assured, and corruption foremost in the public’s mind, Congress anointed Xi Jinping, the most honest official of his generation, to succeed President Hu.In his first year, Xi’s anti-corruption campaign saw ten thousand officials passed over for promotion for concealing information and one-hundred thirty-thousand demoted or disciplined for making false declarations. In 2016, corrupt Yunnan Party Secretary, Bai Enpei, was sentenced to death, prosecutors charged sixty-three senior officials and ministers with corruption, and released confessions from fifty-seven thousand Party members who made restitution and accepted demotions.By 2018, the anti-corruption team had investigated 1.3 million administrators, filed a million court cases, issued one hundred thousand indictments, captured thousands of overseas fugitives and jailed or executed one-hundred twenty high-ranking officials–including five national leaders, twelve generals and a dozen CEOs. After a 2019 Tianjin industrial explosion killed one-hundred sixty-five people the investigating magistrate found that petty bribery had led to weak code enforcement, so he sentenced the responsible official to death and jailed forty-nine colleagues.Today, anti-graft officials subject officials to unannounced inspections like Olympic athletes’ doping tests. An Anhui provincial inspection team called one official four times between 7:31 and 7:35 one evening about his poverty alleviation efforts and reported that his failure to answer the call–he was showering at the time–had hindered the battle against poverty. Fortunately, when they moved to fire him, the public came to his defense and he was eventually exonerated.Knowing that that ten percent of their statements will be audited, even deputy county officials now report their marital status, overseas travel, criminal record, wages, other earnings, family properties, stocks, funds, insurance and investments. If they are questioned and refuse to answer, or collude with or protect accomplices, they are detained immediately. Bureaucrats–especially those with leadership ambitions–must endure increasing scrutiny as they advance. As one of them, Zhao Bing Bing[⁠6] said, “The selection criteria are: a person must have ‘both ability and moral integrity and the latter should be prioritized.’”Midlevel officials must report their own assets and those of their parents, wives, children, children’s spouses and cousins and the reporting form has a reminder, in red ink, to include children from previous marriages, children born out of wedlock and foster children. They must report their income, savings, real estate, stock portfolio, insurance policies, stocks, unit trusts, bonds and assets in overseas accounts, “Income shall include salary and various bonuses, allowances, subsidies, and payment you receive from lectures, writing, consultation, reviewing, painting and calligraphy.” The impact was immediate and palpable, says the young scion of a prominent Party family:I am a Party Member in China and all my family are Party members. What I think of Xi is that the life is really changing after he came to power. A relative of mine works for the government as a vital governor in my city ShenZhen (which is a big city like BeiJing or ShangHai), then all my family people are like in the hierarchy of privilege. We pay nothing when go out for dinner, the Party pays. We pay nothing for filling in oil, the Party pays. It seems like we don't need to pay for anything with our salaries, cause either the Party pays, or someone will pay for us (who wants to flatter us). I smoke the best, I drink the best, sometimes I even drive without license when drunk, because I fear no one.In past times, yes we did have privilege everywhere, I felt so arrogant to be superior to others that’s also true. But the problem is, there is a tradeoff. We drank quite a lot of alcohol to show respect to others, we had to accept bribes even we know it's risky, cause we have to consider about our clan (like the interest of my boss). We had to do some many things we don't want to do, that's the rule of living in Party, care about the interest of Clan more than your own. That's how we united. We have to fear a lot of threats from ordinary people, colleagues, and bosses. We cannot keep our own passports, Party keeps it in case of we flee.But life changed after Xi came to power, he did real thing on anti-corruption. No one dare to present gifts to governors and the abuse of public funds is strictly monitored. The Party took back the public cars from my family and even we have to pay for the parking fee now! But..my family and I are actually happy with this, we are thankful to President Xi. Cause he seems like dragging China to a healthier future. My relative doesn't need to go out for dinner with other governors as social intercourse daily, they don't need to drink so much on the table. And they start to learn to pay for the bill by turns, cause the Party will no longer do this for them. They start to learn how to take bus or metro. That's good, actually. People start to think about what kind of lifestyle is called ‘healthy,’ they are more like human now, no longer some conceited stupid with expanding power. That's how life changed after Xi came.Officials who have relatives in government must disclose their relationship and wait for promotion until the senior relative retires. Senior ministers’ lives are excruciatingly transparent. Their private activities are scrutinized and their children must adopt assumed names to avoid influence-seekers. One-on-one appointments are taken as evidence of impropriety so all meetings must have third-party observers. A trail of excessive–or poor quality–government debts is treated as prima facie evidence of corruption and automatically investigated.Even retirement brings no release: after retirement senior officials are audited annually and remain responsible for the consequences of their decisions until the day they die. Even then, clawback provisions reclaim ill-gotten gains.The masses’ eyes grew sharper, too, after Xi crowdsourced the anti-corruption campaign. He urged everyone to text 12388, the office of the Rules and Discipline Committee (founded during the Tang Dynasty). Complainants often post accusations on social media and request additional witnesses. In one famous case, netizens scrutinizing a news photograph spotted a low-level safety official wearing an expensive watch and the subsequent investigation sent Brother Watch to jail for fourteen years. Amateur corruption fighters even have their own websites and Beijing publishes monthly scores:Visitors still burn incense at the shrines of great corruption fighters and millions watch TV dramas about ‘Justice Bao’ Zheng, the incorruptible Prefect of the Capital in 1000 AD. A wildly popular TV series, ‘In the Name of People,’ depicts current-day intra-Party power struggles in the fictional city of Jingzhou. The Jingzhou prosecutor and honest local officials help laid-off workers violently protesting a corrupt land deal, fight corrupt bureaucrats sabotaging an arrest warrant, and stop fake police bulldozing honest citizens’ homes. The writers say they have no shortage of material for the show.But for all his high-profile attacks on corruption, Xi’s most memorable contribution to Chinese history will probably be his new, fourth arm of government, the National Supervision Commission[⁠7], whose job it is to make corruption impossible. It is only such government agency on earth.Before the Commission was created, anti-corruption was divided between the Party and the state. On the Party side, the CCDI enforced party discipline–including party loyalty, anti-graft, and ethical and lifestyle requirements–against Party members, who constitute 80 percent of civil servants and 95 percent of leading officials. The CCDI turned evidence of criminal wrongdoing over to the state for prosecution.On the state side, the State Council Ministry of Supervision (MOS) supervised the civil servants who were not Party members, investigated graft, misappropriation of public funds, and other duty-related violations. The National Bureau of Corruption Prevention made policy recommendations and coordinated international anti-corruption. Departments of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate (SPP) investigated certain kinds of corruption and malfeasance.Now the anti-corruption functions of all three agencies–the MOS, the CPB, and the SPP–are performed by the Commission which, as the highest anti-corruption agency in the country, ranks with the Supreme People's Court and the Department of Justice. Congress appoints its director, deputy director and senior staff–who need not be Party members and who cannot work in another arm of government for the rest of their lives.Their first task is turning the ongoing anti-corruption campaign into a regular legal process, rather than continuing prosecution through internal and extralegal channels. The Commission also oversees provincial, city, and county commissions responsible for supervising all public personnel exercising public power. Their authority is much broader than their predecessor agencies and they enjoy more powerful investigatory powers including, scarily, power of immediate detention!The Supervision Law also doubles, even triples, the number of personnel subject to supervision. While the MOS only had jurisdiction over non-Party government employees, the new law gives the Commission authority over civil servants, the CCP itself, the government, the people’s congresses, the supervision commissions themselves, the people’s courts and the procuracy, the people’s political consultative congresses, the eight democratic parties, federations of industry and commerce, and other personnel managed under China’s Civil Servants Law or who work in organizations that manage public affairs.The Commission’s writ runs further: to SOE managers, state educational, scientific research, cultural, health care, sports, and similar entities and grassroots villager and urban residents committees–and even ‘other personnel who perform public duties.’ They do not have jurisdiction over the PLA or the PAP, who are supervised by the Central Military Commission.The Commission is neither an administrative body like MOS nor a judicial organ like the SPC or SPP–it is a political body. This means that, in addition to being exempted from criminal procedure protections, it is not subject to the administrative law that imposes procedural and substantive constraints on government administrative organs like the police, which must disclose stipulated information, allow the public to participate in rule-making, and follow due process when imposing administrative penalties.The new Supervision Law does allow its targets to request re-examination of the Commission’s decisions and challenge (internally) unlawful conduct like harsh interrogation and prolonged detention by appealing to the higher-level supervision organ. But, though the new law does not provide a right of further appeal to the courts, it does require supervisory organs and staff to pay lawful compensation for infringing someone’s lawful rights and interests.The effects of the anti-corruption drive are already visible: civil service applications fell four percent in 2018, but satisfaction with local officials rose twenty percent since 2012, while ninety-three percent of people said they trust the national government and eighty-three percent say it runs the country for everyone’s benefit. Thanks to officials’ early years in the wilderness, constant monitoring, endless ethics lectures, relentless demands for results, exhaustive disclosures, painful transparency and twenty-four-hour public scrutiny, corruption is becoming a losing business.We should also credit Confucius for limiting political power to a single lifetime, for knowing that intelligence and honesty are linked[⁠8], and for insisting that power be given only to honest, intelligent people._______________________________________________________________________1 Huáng-Míng Zǔxùn (Instructions of the Ancestor of the August Ming) were admonitions left by the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Chinese Ming dynasty, to his descendants.2 China's Meritocratic Examinations and the Ideal of Virtuous Talents.
