Correction of "sitting on the ground to make money" "borrowing the island to make money"

Prevent the project from falling down

Enlightenment from the case of Zhang Qi, former member of the Standing Committee of the Hainan Provincial Party Committee and former Secretary of the Haikou Municipal Party Committee

  Hainan is the only tropical province in my country. Land resources are very scarce, and marine resources are extremely precious.

With the construction and development of an international tourist island, Hainan has become a hot spot for investment.

Accompanied by this, corruption in the fields of land transactions and engineering construction has occurred frequently. Some leading cadres and illegal businessmen have collaborated with each other to engage in illegal development and "human relations projects", which seriously damages the island’s natural environment, disrupts the order of the seaport market, and destroys Hainan’s political ecology. .

Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervision Commission severely investigated and dealt with the serious violations of discipline and law by Zhang Qi, former member of the Standing Committee of the Hainan Provincial Party Committee and former Secretary of the Haikou Municipal Party Committee, and urged and guided Hainan to continue to deepen the political ecological problems and institutional weaknesses exposed in the case. Promoting reforms with cases, focusing on special rectification, and escorting the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port.

1 Corrupt leaders "sitting on the ground to make money" and "borrowing the island to make money"

  In September 2019, with the approval of the Party Central Committee, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission filed a case for investigation and investigation of Zhang Qi's serious violations of discipline and law.

After investigation, Zhang Qi violated the party’s political discipline, organizational discipline, integrity discipline, work discipline, and life discipline, lost ideals, convictions and principles of party spirit, abandoned the original mission, deviated from the new development concept, and implemented the Party Central Committee’s decision and deployment without firmness and in place. Disloyal and honest to the party, suspected of taking bribes.

He has used the convenience of his position for a long time to provide assistance to related enterprises and individuals in contracting engineering projects, changing the nature of land, land acquisition and demolition, etc., directly or through his family members illegally receiving hundreds of millions of yuan in property, most of which are members of the party Accepted after the big.

In February 2020, after studying at a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and reporting to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China for approval, it was decided to expel Zhang Qi from the party and from public office.

In December 2020, Zhang Qi was sentenced to life imprisonment for accepting bribes, deprived of political rights for life, and confiscated all personal property.

  Zhang Qi has been cultivating Hainan for more than 30 years and is the first central management cadre who has grown up in Hainan since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

He abused public power, used power for profit, cleverly established projects to reclaim land from the sea, develop illegally, and turn land resources into wanton cutting cakes and tools for making money. He is a typical example of "relying on land to make money," "sitting on land," and "borrowing islands to make money." .

  The first is to reclaim the sea and develop land in violation of regulations to obtain political capital.

Zhang Qi's view of political achievements is seriously misplaced and he is so happy. In order to gain political achievements and seek promotion as soon as possible, he did not hesitate to sacrifice land, marine resources and ecological environment.

When serving as Secretary of the Danzhou Municipal Party Committee, he illegally promoted the Haihua Island project, which involved reclamation of a total area of ​​783 hectares.

Under his vigorous promotion, the Danzhou Municipal Government and the marine department split the reclamation project into 36 sub-projects with an area of ​​less than 27 hectares through the method of "breaking into parts", so that the projects that did not pass the customs can be promoted. The banned project was approved, resulting in permanent damage to large areas of coral reefs and white butterfly shells.

  The second is to bring land with the project to help enterprises "successfully occupy land."

During his tenure as Secretary of the Sanya Municipal Party Committee, under the guise of new energy vehicles, Zhang Qi helped private business owners illegally obtain the right to use 174,000 square meters of state-owned construction land, and sought private gains by increasing the proportion of real estate land.

From 2010 to 2018, Zhang Qi helped a number of private business owners obtain nearly 7,000 acres of land illegally in Danzhou, Sanya, and Haikou.

Among them, it helped a real estate developer set exclusive bidder conditions in violation of regulations, acquired more than 1,000 acres of land illegally, occupied geological parks and ecological forest land, and caused billions of dollars in losses to the country.

  The third is to be obsessed with the "Humanity Project" and create a small circle of common corruption and profit.

Pulling and pulling with illegal businessmen using power and interests as the ties, formed a "co-corruption circle."

In the name of attracting investment, he helped leaders' relatives get land and projects; he offered favors to peers and subordinates, and allowed his wife and son to use their influence to intervene in landscaping projects to make money.

  The review and investigation found that the use of power and influence by leading cadres to intervene in land projects to obtain huge benefits is not an exception.

According to Zhang Qi and the persons involved in the case, violations of regulations and laws were prominent in the commercial development of Sanya's Phoenix Island, Xiaozhou Island, Haikou Simapo Island, and other islands, and there were leading cadres behind them.

Since April 2017, the disciplinary inspection and supervision organs at all levels in Hainan Province have investigated and dealt with 515 corruption cases involving 536 people in the engineering field, involving 49% of the relevant city and county leadership members, and 30% of the top leaders; among them, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision has investigated and dealt with 69% of the cases involved engineering corruption, and the top leaders accounted for 59%.

In 2017, the National Land Special Inspector pointed out more than 3,000 problems in 23 categories. In 2018, the National Oceanic Inspector pointed out that there were 35 problems in the development of marine resources. The remaining problems in Hainan Province are numerous and extensive, and the rectification task is arduous and urgent.

4 Work inspiration

  Land is a country's scarce and precious resource, an essential element for urban development, and it is also a key area where public rights are deeply involved and rent-seeking frequently occurs.

Zhang Qi's case fully exposed the abuse of power in the field of land and engineering construction, and the collusion between officials and businessmen and corruption. It seriously affected the overall situation of the Hainan Free Trade Port and hindered the implementation of major decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee in Hainan.

Summarizing the investigation and handling of Zhang Qi's case, the promotion of reform, and the promotion of construction work together, there are the following inspirations.

  First, we must focus on the center and serve the overall situation, and coordinate the promotion of reform and rectification.

Seriously investigate and deal with Zhang Qi's case, and focus on rectifying corruption in the field of land and engineering construction. It is related to the success or failure of the Hainan Free Trade Port and the implementation of the Party Central Committee’s decision-making and deployment. It is necessary to focus on the overall situation and be good at leveraging the momentum to give play to help, Protection and promotion.

The Zhang Qi case used the case to promote reform, organically integrate the strengthening of party style and clean government construction and anti-corruption struggle, comprehensive and strict governance of the party with the promotion of Hainan’s opening, construction, and development, and closely focus on the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port. The central task is coordinated and deployed, and the key tasks such as poverty alleviation, ecological environmental protection, eradication of evil, "bringing umbrellas and breaking the Internet" and other key tasks have been promoted in depth to ensure the implementation of the major decision-making arrangements of the Party Central Committee in Hainan, and the beginning of the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port , Realizing the healthy and sustainable economic and social development to provide a strong political guarantee.

  Second, we must focus on the key points, grasp the key, and solve the prominent problems of corruption in local projects symptomatically.

The Zhang Qi case once again exposed the outstanding problems of the concentration of power and lack of effective supervision in the field of land and engineering construction, and fully confirmed that the anti-corruption struggle is still severe and complex.

To promote reforms of this type of issue, we must grasp the key point of standardizing the power of top leaders, pay close attention to the decision-making power, planning power, and approval power of land and engineering projects, focus on places, departments, and fields where engineering projects are intensive, and integrate supervision power , Implement effective supervision, put supervision in all aspects of the entire process of power operation, promote and improve the system and mechanism of supervision and restriction of the exercise of power of top leaders, strictly prevent leading cadres from using their powers and positions to influence land and engineering projects, and truly manage key people and manage them. Key points, manage key things, and manage key times to prevent the project from "building up" and cadres from "falling down."

  Third, we must strengthen supervision, consolidate responsibilities, and promote the synergy of the "two responsibilities".

The reason why Zhang Qi has been promoted with illness for a long time and has become a big success has not been effectively supervised and promptly investigated and dealt with. Among them, there are problems that the main responsibility is not implemented, and the supervision responsibility is not in place.

Promote the reform of the Zhang Qi case, adhere to the "two responsibilities" of coordinating the main responsibility and supervision responsibility, and give full play to the two main roles of the unit responsible for the case and the main responsible department. "Towards "strict, practical and hard", at the same time put the responsibilities and work of the discipline inspection and supervision organs in, vigorously promote the standardized and standardized construction of the discipline inspection committee, focus on the full force of supervision responsibilities, focus on the key areas and highlight the problems, and release the strict and practical A strong signal to promote the in-depth development of Hainan's comprehensive and strict party management.

  Fourth, we must integrate and advance as one, and strive to improve the effectiveness of corruption governance. Promoting as a whole is not only an important strategy for administering the party strictly and strictly, but also an important follow-up for deepening reforms through cases. Promote the reform of Zhang Qi case by case, through serious investigation and punishment of typical cases, intensively punish corruption in the land and engineering fields, carry out warning education in grades and categories, and form a strong deterrent of "soldiers approaching the city"; by strengthening power supervision and restriction, promote sound systems and plug loopholes , Focus on discovering the weak links in land acquisition, transfer, use, and project bidding management, and create a "touch and jump" live cage; by strengthening the construction of the cadre team, rectifying the cadre style and family style as a whole, and strive to solve the party relationship Vulgarization highlights the problem, takes political life seriously within the party, and forms a self-discipline of "no need for a whip".
