The reporter found that since the beginning of this year, anti-corruption in the field of state-owned enterprises has continued to strengthen. In the first half of the year, at least 40 leaders of state-owned enterprises were publicly notified on the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

There are four characteristics of corruption in the state-owned enterprises
Corruption occurs frequently in key areas and key positions. The report shows that of the 40 people, 16 in the energy and mineral sector, accounting for approximately 40%; 11 in the investment sector, accounting for approximately 27.5%; 5 in the transportation sector, accounting for approximately 12.5%; tobacco, foreign trade, and tourism, approximately 20% . In terms of positions, most of them are key positions such as the party secretary, chairman, general manager, and chief accountant of an enterprise, and some of them hold the same position for a long time. State-owned enterprises have strong capital, master important resources, and have industry advantages. They are easy to become a hard-hit area for power rent-seeking, enterprise-eating, and power-and-money transactions. Key positions have decision-making power over resources, assets, and funds. Will breed corruption.
The first is a political problem. Of the 12 persons subject to disciplinary and administrative sanctions, 9 are involved in the issue of censorship by confrontation organizations, including confessions with others, concealment of evidence, and inaccurate accountability. Behind the frequent occurrence of problems, there is a close relationship with the violation of discipline and law, the principle of party spirit is lost, disloyal to the party, not honest, the ideal and belief "master switch" has a close relationship. It also reflects that these leaders of state-owned enterprises often ignore political discipline, attract and corrode a group of cadres, gather gangs, engage in gangs, and hope for such an illusory "community" in the face of organizational review and investigation in order to capture huge profits. ".
Violations of mental problems frequently occur in violation of the eight central regulations. Law breaking first began with breaking the discipline. Among those notified of punishment, 90% had mental problems that violated the eight regulations of the central government, and the phenomenon of accepting gifts and gifts was common. What’s more, such as the former deputy secretary of the Party Committee, vice chairman and general manager of Beijing Cultural Investment Development Group Co., Ltd. Dai Zigeng “obtained, held and actually used the golf club membership card in violation of regulations”, Anhui Tourism Group Co., Ltd. The company's former party committee secretary and chairman Liu Wenbing "exceeded the standard reception for the purchase of high-end drinks with public funds." The frequent occurrence of this problem under high pressure reflects the deep-rooted misconceptions of the "special theory of state-owned enterprises" of some enterprise leaders, who believe that doing business can be special and can be free from the regulations. It also reflects the illegal businessman’s The hunting behavior of corporate leaders is intensive.
Improper performance of duties poses significant risks to the enterprise. The 12 state-owned enterprise leaders who were punished by the Party's discipline and government affairs, without exception, all had the problem of incorrect performance of their duties. Some were like Liu Wenbing's "significant decision-making company violations", and some were like Dai Zigeng "in the party's propaganda work. , Improper performance of duties”, and others such as He Renchun, former chief economist of China Minmetals Group, “in violation of the rules to establish a company to engage in business activities”... “The leadership of state-owned enterprises improperly performs their duties, which will bring significant risks to the enterprise and cause the country Major losses." The relevant person in charge of the Chongqing Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision Commission introduced the case of Wang Yinfeng, the former party secretary and chairman of Chongqing Grain Group who was "double-opened" last year.

Making use of the operating characteristics of state-owned enterprises to break the rules and regulations into difficulties
A small number of state-owned enterprise leaders evade supervision by digging out hollow ideas, using hidden means to engage in profit transmission, and colluding inside and outside to embezzle state-owned assets. The notice shows that the former party secretary and chairman of Shaanxi Gas Group Co., Ltd., Hao Xiaochen, relied on enterprises to eat enterprises and abuse their powers to engage in power and money transactions and use the national monopoly resources to seize huge profits; CNOOC Refining and Chemical Co., Ltd. originally Party committee member and deputy general manager Han Xingsan seeks benefits for others in the areas of material supply, equipment procurement, cargo transportation, payment of funds, business operations, etc., and accepts property of others.
The state-owned enterprise field has the characteristics of diversified business forms, capital intensiveness, and frequent business transactions. These characteristics have become the "invisibility cloaks" and "shields" for individual state-owned enterprise leaders to violate discipline and law.
Judging from the cases investigated, some of them used normal business activities as a reason, violated the spirit of the eight central regulations, and sought personal illegal benefits from them; some took on the shoulders with the business owners and did nothing but collect money while they were in office. Cashing in benefits; some buying overseas projects at a high price, selling high-quality projects at a low price, resulting in the loss of state-owned assets; some disguise the public funds under the name of investment, but actually carry on the transfer of benefits; some make profits by reselling stock purchase qualifications...
"I didn't take care of my hands and took the money that I shouldn't take. I also mistakenly thought that the money I received was secretly withheld from my gains and distributed to me, and it did not damage or occupy public interests. "Chen Yungui wrote in his confession. As the former party secretary and chairman of Zhejiang Guoxing Import and Export Co., Ltd. and the former chairman of Zhejiang Guomao New Energy Investment Co., Ltd., during his tenure, he used the "public investment, self-profit" method to Various ways to lend a private owner a total of 135 million yuan and get a return of 14.857 million yuan.
The staff involved in the investigation of the case stated that state-owned enterprises, as the main body of market operations, would not disclose all business transactions in operation, and certain decisions also involved commercial secrets. Especially for investment and other activities, not only has a certain degree of professionalism, but profit and loss is also the norm in the market. "Some state-owned enterprise leaders use this as a pretext to engage in activities that violate discipline and law and profit."
Wen Zhijian, former chairman and secretary of the Party Committee of Guangdong Guanghong Jiujiang Feed Co., Ltd., has been working with others since October 2010, without the responsibility of a designated professional, without collective decision-making, and without reporting to higher authorities. Transferred 17.1 million yuan to the company's futures account several times, and continued to operate the futures account for speculative futures trading. Due to huge losses, the futures account was subsequently cancelled, resulting in a total loss of more than 17.09 million yuan in state-owned assets. Afterwards, the two used means such as making false accounts and filling out accounts to cover up the fact of the significant loss of state-owned assets.
Unauthorized investment in projects is also one of Wang Yinfeng’s violations of discipline and law. During his tenure at Chongqing Grain Group, he decided to borrow more than 300 million yuan from private enterprises without reporting to the Chongqing SASAC for approval.
Corruption in state-owned enterprises is highly concealed. There are fewer and fewer people who directly send money to send shares and conduct transactions of power and money. Those who use the operating characteristics of state-owned enterprises to engage in corruption still exist. Staff members who have long been involved in the investigation and handling of corruption cases in state-owned enterprises believe that they must fully understand the business processes in the field of state-owned enterprises, pay attention to the abnormal conditions behind normal businesses, and continue to carry out effective front-end supervision.
Continue to deepen the "Three Nos"
Since this year, the discipline inspection and supervision agencies at all levels have paid close attention to the problems of state-owned enterprises such as relying on enterprises to eat enterprises, rent-seeking rents, connected transactions, and internal and external collusion and embezzlement of state-owned assets. The power of leaders runs along the track of rule of law and institutionalization.
Give full play to the advantages of reforming the system and strengthen the deterrence of "dare not rot" On June 15, Sun Jianxi, the former deputy inspector of China Railway Eryuan Engineering Group Co., Ltd., was notified to accept the supervision and investigation. After the case was designated by the jurisdiction, the Luzhou City Supervision Committee supervised the investigation. Designated jurisdiction as the principle of jurisdiction prescribed by the Supervision Law has played a role in coordinating the handling of cases, eliminating the resistance to handling cases, and solving the dilemmas in investigating and handling corruption cases in state-owned enterprises. In the first half of the year, especially in the investigation and prosecution of corruption cases of Chinese companies, designated jurisdiction was widely used. Cases such as the former party group member and deputy general manager Wang Diangui of China Tobacco Industry Development Center demonstrate that the quality and efficiency of handling cases has been further improved.
Strengthen the supervision of the operation of power and secure the cage that cannot be corrupted. On July 1, the "People's Republic of China Public Affairs Administrative Punishment Law" came into effect. As the first national law to comprehensively regulate the administrative punishment of public officials since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the law stipulates the administrative punishment of leaders of state-owned enterprises, and further strengthens the "incorruptible" cage with the administrative punishment system. Inspection supervision also constantly promotes the improvement of the system. Judging from the announcement of the rectification and improvement exhibition of the third round of inspections of the 19th Central Committee of the CPC, the inspected Chinese-managed enterprises paid attention to the use of system construction to promote problem solving. Some amendments have improved the "three majors and one big" decision-making system and rules of procedure, highlighted the importance of the party group (party committee) managing major issues, discussing major issues, and focusing on key issues, and further improved the mechanism for integrating party leadership into corporate governance. Some have formulated and implemented a comprehensive list of strict governance of the party’s main responsibilities and fulfilling the “one post and two responsibilities” responsibility list, compacted and managed the party’s political responsibilities, and strengthened the prevention and control of integrity risks in key areas. Some have stepped up supervision of key areas and key links such as material procurement, capital construction technology transformation, outsourcing, outsourcing, and bidding price comparison, and have perfected the supervision system.
Deepen the educational achievements of the theme and enhance the consciousness of "don't want to rot". While investigating and punishing cases in depth, we should implement warning education for cadres of the same level at the same level, and explain morality by case, discipline by case, and law by case. Chongqing Municipality deepened and expanded the warning education of "Four Cases", systematically planned the work of "Governance by Cases, Supervision by Cases, System by Cases, and Style by Cases", and exposed some party cadres and public officials' discipline and With regard to the issue of weak laws and regulations, measures such as strengthening warning education, deepening special rectification and strict accountability will be adopted to promote changes in style. Zhejiang Province continues to strengthen the construction of a clean culture, pay attention to the construction of family style, guide party members and cadres to cultivate self-discipline and integrity, and cultivate a modern civilized personality. China Huadian deployed the whole system to carry out educational activities with the theme of "taking cases as a mirror and preventing range hunting". Through lectures on the party, themed party day, holding an exhibition on integrity, watching special films on warning education, organizing visits to education bases for integrity, and setting up a lecture hall on integrity Activities such as clean talks and honesty build a solid foundation of integrity and enhance the consciousness of "don't want to rot".
