The Discipline Inspection Commission website for Qujing City, Shizong County, Yunnan province recently posted an article describing the actions the county took in response to the recommendations of a provincial discipline inspection team that inspected the county last summer. The “rectification” actions taken by the county are grouped into three categories: Party leadership, Party building, and Party governance. Under the Party leadership section, one paragraph details the measures the county took to deal with two specific “evil cults,” including a “clean-up” campaign aimed at foreign NGOs and foundations.
The China NGO Project has translated the relevant paragraph in full:
(5) Rectification situation regarding the inadequately forceful implementation of the ideological work responsibility system. [The county] formulated and promulgated “Rules and Regulations for Implementing the County Commission Ideological Work Responsibility System”; increased the weight of ideology when allocating points [to cadres during their] comprehensive evaluations; and layer by layer stressed the implementation of the ideological work responsibility system. Regarding the issue of evil cults such as “Falun Gong” and “Mentuhui” remaining active, [the county] perfected its cult prevention and anti-cult work mechanism; divided up the key Party and government personnel working on cults into a “guarantee” supervision responsibility system; began a cult prevention and anti-cult propaganda activity and a “Zero Cults” campaign; and conducted a thorough-going clean-up campaign aimed at foreign NGOs and foundations active in the county. [The county] established an inspection system to judge, report on, supervise, assess, and [assign] responsibility [for] ideological work, as well as a mechanism to rapidly respond to and handle public sentiment; assembled a squad to evaluate ideological matters; and established a foundation for strengthening positive public opinion guidance.

（五）关于落实意识形态工作责任制不够有力的整改情况。制定出台《县委意识形态工作责任制实施细则》，增加意识形态在综合考核中的分值权重，层层压实意识形态工作责任。关于“法轮功”、“门徒会”等邪教仍有活动的问题，健全完善了防邪反邪工作机制，分类落实邪教重点人员党员干部“包保”监管责任，开展防邪反邪知识宣传活动和“无邪教创建”活动，对活动在我县的境外非政府组织和基金会进行彻底清理。建立意识形态工作研判、上报、督查、考核和责任追究制度和舆情快速响应和处置机制，组建意识形态领域研判队伍，为强化正面舆论引导奠定了基础。
