Digging deep into the energy sector

　　"Hu Zhanjie, the former party secretary and chairman of Heilongjiang Geocoal Group Co., Ltd., is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law, and is currently undergoing disciplinary review by the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission and the Provincial SASAC Discipline Inspection and Supervision Group", "Deputy General Manager, Sichuan Energy Investment Group Co., Ltd., Li Changwei, director of Sichuan Xinli Light Source Co., Ltd., is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law, and is currently undergoing disciplinary review and supervision and investigation."... Recently, news of a number of party leaders in the energy sector was announced.

　　The reporter combed and found that since this year, at least 22 leading cadres in the energy sector have been notified by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and State Supervision Commission website to accept review and investigation or receive party discipline and government sanctions.

The issue of corruption in the energy sector has once again attracted attention.

　　In the context of doing a good job in the "six stability" and implementing the tasks of the "six guarantees", standardizing and precise punishment of corruption in the energy sector, and advancing together are not only the work of implementing the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection Deployment is also a powerful action to supervise and ensure energy security.

　　On July 10, Qin Linhui, former party secretary and director of the Energy Bureau of Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, was prosecuted. The "Double Open" notice pointed out that he "utilized the convenience of mastering the management of national mineral resources for the benefit of others."

　　The reporter noticed that in the prosecution’s allegations against Qin Linhui, two “extraordinarily huge” expressions are particularly conspicuous: one is that he illegally accepts or solicits other people’s property, the amount is extremely large; the other is that his property and expenditure obviously exceed his legal income, and the difference is extremely large. huge.

To some extent, this also reflects the characteristics of corruption in the energy sector.

　　Energy is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, is a key investment area of ​​the country, and often involves huge economic benefits.

Party members and leading cadres of the energy authorities hold important powers in policy formulation, project approval, industry supervision, etc., and they can easily become the focus of hunting by illegal businessmen.

Since the beginning of this year, party members and leading cadres from the central, provincial, municipal, and county energy authorities have been investigated and dealt with. In addition to Qin Linhui, there are also Wang Tiancai, former party secretary and director of the Northwest Regulatory Bureau of the National Energy Administration, and the original party group of the Jilin Provincial Energy Administration. Secretary and Director Luo Yifei etc.

　　In my country, energy belongs to the field of in-depth regulation and is mainly operated by state-owned enterprises.

Judging from the cases investigated and dealt with this year, in addition to the energy authorities, corruption in state-owned enterprises in the energy sectors such as coal, petroleum, and electric power are prone to occur frequently.

　　Han Xingsan, former party committee member and deputy general manager of China National Offshore Oil Refining & Chemical Co., Ltd., "seeks benefits for others in terms of material supply, equipment procurement, cargo transportation, payment of goods, business operations, etc."; former party secretary and director of Shaanxi Gas Group Co., Ltd. Chairman Hao Xiaochen “uses the national monopoly resources to grab huge profits”; Yangquan Coal Industry (Group) Co., Ltd. Former Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Vice Chairman Bai Ying “in the fire protection project contracting, cadre selection and appointment, seek benefits for others and Receiving property"... It is not difficult to find out that the corruption of state-owned enterprises in the energy sector is mainly concentrated in the links of resources, construction, and engineering, manifested in the form of relying on enterprises to eat enterprises, rent-seeking, related transactions, and internal and external collusion.

　　my country's state-owned energy companies have a large amount of capital, multiple construction links, and a wide range of operations. Their businesses involve engineering, materials, services and other fields. Some corporate leaders use their operations as a pretext to engage in power and money transactions.

　　For example, the indictment of Wang Jinhua, the former party secretary and chairman of China Coal Science and Industry Group Co., Ltd., showed that the bribery was mostly related to coal mining and sales, including providing assistance for a company to undertake coal mining business, in the form of share dividends. Received a total of 30 million yuan; to help a company become a major coal sales agent, received 3 million yuan in cash, etc.

　　It is worth noting that in the investigation and handling of cases of state-owned enterprises in the energy sector, especially state-owned enterprises, the mode of handling cases by the discipline inspection and supervision team and the local commission for discipline inspection has gradually become the norm.

　　From the case of Zhu Tianshou, the former chief engineer of PetroChina Changqing Oilfield Branch notified in January of this year, to Han Xingsan, former party committee member and deputy general manager of CNOOC Refining & Chemical Co., Ltd., who violated discipline and laws, and then to the deputy of Shenhua Baotou Energy Co., Ltd. General manager Zhao Hongyue's case, the smooth investigation and handling of these cases all benefited from the cooperation of enterprises and local governments in disciplinary enforcement.

In the view of Xu Jiming, head of the Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Team of China National Petroleum Corporation, "the most intuitive change in joint case handling by enterprises and localities is the improvement of the quality and efficiency of case handling."

　　While strengthening punishment, the discipline inspection and supervision organs firmly grasped the basic responsibility of supervision and promoted the reform and system construction of key supervision mechanisms such as examination and approval supervision and public resource transactions.

　　The third round of the 19th Central Inspection and Improvement Exhibition announced in March this year showed that the party organizations of many units including the National Energy Administration, PetroChina, Sinopec, CNOOC, etc., have perfected the integrity risk prevention and control mechanism, and established a sound The daily supervision system and mechanism make arrangements to supervise and promote the legal and standardized operation of corporate power.
