The administrative supervision system

Administrative supervision refers to the state administrative bodies conducting all-round supervision over state administrative bodies and their staff at all levels. These administrative bodies ensure that their official performances are in line with the Constitution, laws, and administrative orders.

(1) Supervision from above

Upper administrative bodies or leaders have the power to conduct supervise over lower administrative bodies and their staff.

Under normal circumstances, upper administrative bodies implement administrative supervision through such measures as annulling inappropriate orders and decisions of the lower administrative organs, checking and awarding or penalizing the staff of lower administrative organs, directing, providing guidance, inspecting, and steering the work of lower administrative organs.

Upper administrative bodies may annul erroneous administrative decisions of lower administrative bodies by administrative reconsideration.

(2) Auditing

State auditing bodies exercise all-round supervision and appraisal of the financial and economic activities of administrative bodies, watch over the spending of state budget, and prevent and correct any misconduct in financial and economic activities in the country.

Under the direction of leaders of the government at the corresponding level, the auditing body independently exercises its power or supervision through auditing in accordance with the law, subject to no interference by any other administrative organ or any public organization or individual.

(3) Investigative supervision

Administrative supervision bodies exercise supervision over state administrative bodies and their staff through various methods of investigation.

Supervisory bodies have the power to investigate targets of supervision and put forward due suggestions or make due decisions according to the investigation results.
