The development of the Internet brings profound effect to the entire country andthe society and sets up a totally new project for the party building. Networksupervision has become a social reality that can’t be ignored and an important channelfor the ruling party’s anti-corruption in the new era. It is the manifestation of citizens’political participation in modern democratic politics and an important way ofsupervision by the masses in new media times. Meanwhile, network supervision is animportant symbol of open society and civilization and progress and it’s also acombined result of the wave of information technology rapidly advancing in the newera and a high-degree awakening of the sense of the masses as a master. The methodof dialectical materialism and historical materialism is applied in this paper toexamine the function of network supervision against corruption from the perspectiveof strengthening the ruling party’s construction of combating corruption andpromoting a clean government and to analyze the dilemmas exist in networksupervision so as to put forward some countermeasures to improve the networksupervision in anticorruption movement.The introductory section clarifies the significance of this topic and classifiesand summarizes the existing research achievements related and introduces the logicalstructure of this article, research methods, innovations and weaknesses.The first chapter illustrates some basic concepts such as supervision, networktechnology and network supervision and analyzes the carrier, features and principlesof network supervision. It points out that the essence of network supervision lies incitizens’ political participation in modern democratic politics and supervision by themasses under the conditions of modern IT. Network supervision can reduce theanti-corruption supervision costs, raise the awareness of political involvement,optimize the anti-corruption political environment, curb the prevalence of thecorruptive culture, promote the spreading of advanced government-cleaning culture,to ease the social discontent, and help maintain social stability.The second chapter investigates the role of network supervision inanti-corruption movement. The network has become an important front of publicopinion.

But the role of network supervision in the anti-corruption shows uneven developmentincluding the uneven development of the network supervision subject, the range ofnetwork supervision objects, the selection of network supervision carrier. Networksupervision is easy to produce the tendency of rule-by-man anti-corruption, whichmay impact the traditional system of anti-corruption by law, affect the operation modeof traditional anti-corruption system and shock the independence and impartiality ofthe traditional anti-corruption department. This severely challenges the traditionalanti-corruption system. At the same time, network supervision encounters systematicdifficulties in the anti-corruption movement, such as the ethics, spreading andauthenticity dilemma of information. This chapter also analyzes features and tendencyof the phenomenon of group polarization of the network supervision inanti-corruption movement and reached the conclusion that this polarizationphenomenon needs urgent guide.The third chapter mainly analyzes the reasons for the difficulties encountered bynetwork supervision in anti-corruption movement. The first reason is the network. Thevirtuality, interactiveness, real-time and openness of the network and the lack ofnetwork culture construction bring challenges to the network supervision. In networkculture, the game, liberalism, technology, and so on affect the role of networksupervision in various degrees. The nature of variety and openness in network culturehas presented many challenges to network supervision playing its role inanti-corruption movement.

The third one is to strengthen the guidance of the ruling party on thenetwork supervision. This means to strengthen the network cultural construction inanti-corruption, actively create the social atmosphere of anti-corruption and improvethe mechanisms of communication, management and supervision for public politicalparticipation. The fourth is to correctly understand and deal with the relations betweenthe citizens’ right to information and their privacy, administrative transparency andthe party and government secrets protection, the cost and efficiency of networksupervision in anti-corruption movement, the network public opinion and the realpublic opinion, freedom of speech and network control.The conclusion section looks into the future development of network monitoringand its role in the anti-corruption movement.
