website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission has notified more than 70 leading cadres of family ethics issues this year
Whether party members’ leading cadres can strictly manage their spouses, children and other relatives, and whether they can strictly enforce family traditions and family education is a matter of ideals, beliefs and integrity and self-discipline.
Family style and tutoring problems, leading cadres can easily fall into the "quagmire" of violations of discipline and law
The Party Central Committee implements a two-pronged strategy.

Interests force leading cadres to be serious about family traditions and take care of people around them

"On the road where Wu Xincheng, the former party secretary and director of the Shaanxi Provincial Grain Bureau, violated discipline and law, his wife Wang Moumou not only failed to act as a dissuasion and reminder, but instead became greedy for internal assistance."
Recently, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission publicly notified 10 typical cases of violations of discipline and law in the field of grain purchase and sale, of which Wu Xincheng's bribery case was one of them.
The Shaanxi Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection previously published an article stating that Wu Xincheng’s wife Wang Moumou often took the initiative to make requests to her husband.
According to statistics from reporters from the Rule of Law Daily, more than 70 leading cadres have been notified of family ethics issues in the review and investigation section of the website of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection this year.
Experts interviewed by reporters believe that whether party members and leading cadres can strictly manage their spouses, children and other relatives, and whether they can strictly enforce family style and family education is a matter of ideals, beliefs, integrity and self-discipline.
If there are problems with family style and tutoring, leading cadres can easily fall into the "quagmire" of violating discipline and law.
In the future, we will further establish a more rigorous institutional system to fully and effectively restrict the power of leading cadres. At the same time, we must strengthen effective supervision of leading cadres and their families, establish an institutionalized "firewall", and cut off the "corruption chain of relatives." .
Improper family style can easily fall into the quagmire of corruption
Continue to undermine the style of the party and the people
The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission reported that Wu Xincheng took advantage of his positions as deputy director of the Shaanxi Provincial Development and Reform Commission and director of the Shaanxi Provincial Grain Bureau to seek benefits for others and accept bribes in the allocation of grain storage quotas, project contracting, and business operations. More than 59.45 million yuan.
Wu Xincheng was sentenced by the court to 13 years in prison and fined 3 million yuan.
In May 2010, Wu Xincheng's wife Wang Moumou co-funded a real estate development company in the name of her brother-in-law.
Then, Wang XX borrowed 40 million yuan from He XX, chairman of a coal company in Bin County, Shaanxi Province, and obtained the right to use more than 140 acres of commercial and residential land in the high-tech zone of Weinan City, Shaanxi Province through auction.
Due to the sluggish real estate market, Wang wanted to transfer the land as soon as possible, but he has not been able to do so.
Seeing that the repayment period of the 40 million yuan loan was approaching, Wang and Wu Xincheng negotiated, and Wu Xincheng asked the coal company to purchase the land.
Wu Xincheng looked for an opportunity to explain the situation to He Moumou.
Considering that he had been helped by Wu Xincheng, He Moumou agreed.
After some operations, Wang XX transferred the land and earned more than 20 million yuan.
The Shaanxi Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection stated in an article that when some unscrupulous businessmen wanted to find Wu Xincheng to "work", most of them would find his wife first.
According to the court's determination, Wu Xin illegally accepted or solicited bribes of more than RMB 59.45 million from others or jointly with his spouse and certain related persons.
The case of Wu Xincheng is not alone.
This year, the first central management cadre to be notified of family ethics issues was Liu Guoqiang, former deputy secretary and vice chairman of the Liaoning Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
The website of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection stated that Liu Guoqiang had no moral bottom line, was corrupt and degenerate, his family style was corrupted, and his family had been out of control and education.
Li Jiuchun, the former vice chairman of the Heilongjiang Provincial People's Congress Urban and Rural Construction and Environmental Protection Committee, was the first provincial cadre to be notified of family ethics issues this year.
The reporter's statistics found that since the beginning of this year, more than 70 leading cadres have been involved in family ethics in the notice issued by the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission.
Among them, there are 15 middle-management cadres and more than 60 other leading cadres.
Zhuang Deshui, deputy director of Peking University's Research Center for Integrity Construction, told reporters that in fact, since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the fall of many leading cadres is directly related to the lack of control of their spouses, children and other relatives.
It can be said that behind the corruption of leading cadres, there are often problems such as "corruption within the government", "corruption within the government" and even "corruption of the whole family".
According to Zhuang Deshui's observation, from the occurrence of corruption cases, the most typical case is that leading cadres evade organizational accountability through their spouses, children and other forms of business-run enterprises, and even form a fixed channel of benefit transmission, which is not small.
It can be seen from this that family style is not only a matter of the leading cadres' family, but also related to party style, political style, and folk style.
The corruption of leading cadres' family style will destroy the style of the party, government, and people.
Song Wei, a professor at the University of Science and Technology Beijing and director of the Center for Integrity Research, said that since the beginning of this year, a number of central and provincial officials have been involved in family ethics issues in their review and investigation reports, which fully proves that the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has paid close attention to violations of discipline and law due to improper family ethics. Determination.
"The issue of family tradition has become a common problem in corruption cases since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and it has certain regularity and tendency." Song Wei believes that the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is focusing on this issue in order to deeply summarize and analyze the investigation and punishment of corruption since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The conclusions formed on the basis of the experience of the case are a profound grasp of the trend of corruption.
In fact, family style tutoring has an important influence on the ideals and beliefs of leading cadres, as well as integrity and self-discipline. When problems arise with family style tutoring, leading cadres can easily fall into the quagmire of violations of discipline and law.
Prohibition of spouses and children from operating businesses
Force leading cadres to take care of people around them
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Zhou Benshun, former secretary of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee and former director of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress, was the first leading cadre to be notified of "corrupted family ethics" by the website of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
In July 2015, Zhou Benshun was suspected of serious violations of discipline and law and was investigated by the organization.
In October of that year, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection stated that Zhou Benshun “seeks benefits for his son’s business activities, has a corrupt family style, and indulges his spouse’s children.”
In February 2016, China's disciplinary inspection and supervision newspapers stated that, judging from some corruption cases, the leading cadres who had problems generally had problems with improper family traditions and lax family education.
The corruption of Su Rong, former secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee, and others are all characterized by "family corruption" or even family corruption, and the lessons are painful and profound.
The following month, China’s disciplinary inspection and supervision newspapers named Wang Min, former member of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee and former Secretary of the Jinan Municipal Party Committee, and Su Rong, former secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee, and other senior officials were named for family corruption.
Among them, one of the major characteristics of Wang Min's case is that he indulges his wife, daughter, and son-in-law. The whole family has formed a chain with Wang Min as the core, the husband and wife join forces, the whole family goes into battle, and collects money together.
The Su Rong corruption case is a typical family corruption.
During Su Rong's tenure as Secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee, his wife frequently intervened in land transfer, project construction, bidding and tendering, and received huge amounts of property.
His son has repeatedly intervened in land and engineering projects, and lavishly collected benefits.
"The phenomenon of'family corruption' occurs from time to time, and the corruption of family traditions has become an important reason for leading cadres to commit serious violations of discipline and law." The China Discipline Inspection and Supervisory Report stated.
To solve this problem, since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has put forward clear requirements for leading cadres in the new era in cultivating a clean family tradition.
On the one hand, the "Code of Integrity and Self-discipline of the Communist Party of China", "Several Guidelines on Political Life in the Party under the New Situation", and "Regulations on Disciplinary Measures of the Communist Party of China" provide institutional basis for standardizing the building of leading cadres' family style.
On the other hand, after the review and approval of the former central deep reorganization meeting, pilot projects were carried out to further regulate the conduct of leading cadres’ spouses, children and their spouses in business-run enterprises in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangdong Province, Chongqing City, and Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
In Song Wei's view, these explorations are innovative measures that have been formed since the Party Central Committee has repeatedly emphasized strict management of the spouses and children of leading cadres since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. They are of exemplary significance for the further governance of spouses, children and family members, such as business and enterprises. , Can effectively curb the conflict of interest formed among the family members of leading cadres, and avoid the soil of corruption due to improper family ethics.
Zhuang Deshui believes that the Party Central Committee implements a two-pronged strategy. On the one hand, it manages the power of party members and leading cadres to promote the integrity and self-discipline of leading cadres; on the other hand, it controls the spouses, children and spouses of leading cadres and restrains them under the banner of leading cadres. Seeking illegitimate interests forces leading cadres to be serious about their family traditions and take good care of the people around them.
Zhuang Deshui said that from this it can also be seen that the behavior of leading cadres' spouses, children and other relatives in business and running enterprises has reached the point where vigorous efforts must be made to rectify them.
The behavior of the spouses, children and other relatives of leading cadres in operating businesses and running enterprises has been criticized by the common people, which has affected the credibility of the party and the government.
Strengthen the system "firewall" to restrain power
Strengthen supervision and cut off the "corruption chain of relatives"
It is worth noting that after a few years of local trials, the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection at the beginning of this year stated that it supervised the implementation of regulations governing the conduct of business-run enterprises by spouses, children and spouses of leading cadres, and promoted strict implementation at the above rate. .
Educate and guide party members and leading cadres to resolutely oppose privileged thoughts and privileged behaviors, strictly manage family members and children, and strict family style and tutoring.
The reporter found that this is the first time since the 19th National Congress of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection that the Communiqué of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection mentions urging the implementation of regulations governing the conduct of leading cadres' spouses, children and their spouses to run businesses in business, and for the first time to strictly manage the children of their families.
Zhuang Deshui believes that the fact that this issue was mentioned in the Communiqué of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection means that the local pilots have achieved certain results, and the results of the pilots will be promoted on a larger scale to strengthen the supervision of the people around party leaders and cadres.
One evidence is that in the national political and legal contingent education and rectification, "police officers illegally engaged in business operations and spouses, children and their spouses engaged in business activities in violation of regulations" are listed as one of the stubborn diseases that must be thoroughly rectified.
In November of this year, the Supreme People’s Court, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, the Ministry of Public Security, and the Ministry of Justice, on the basis of summarizing and summarizing the problems investigated in the rectification of education, pinpointed the crux, respectively issued a list of prohibited occupations for the relatives of police officers, and established rules and regulations to ensure that each Systematic political and legal police officers have a clean judiciary, clean use of power, and integrity.
So, what kind of system needs to be established in the future to prevent the spouses and children of leading cadres from becoming "greedy for domestic help"?
Song Wei suggested that a more rigorous system should be further constructed to form a fully and effective restriction on the power of leading cadres. At the same time, effective supervision of leading cadres and their families should be strengthened to cut off the "corruption chain of relatives" from the source.
At the same time, strengthening the family style of leading cadres still requires long-term persistence and consolidation, so as to build a "firewall" at the level of family ideology.
Zhuang Deshui’s suggestion is to manage the family traditions of leading cadres. First of all, leading cadres must set an example and establish family rules, and implement effective supervision and management of their spouses, children and other relatives, so as to prevent or prevent people around them from using their power to seek benefits.
The second is to strengthen supervision. In particular, the organization department should make full use of the power of the system for leading cadres to report personal matters, put discipline and rules in the front, and solve the problems of improper family style and failure of education.
"Finally, it is to strengthen the system's implementation, conduct special supervision and inspection on the strict implementation of relevant systems by leading cadres, and implement strict accountability once problems are discovered." Zhuang Deshui said.
In Zhuang Deshui’s view, leading cadres must be honest and self-disciplined on the one hand, and on the other hand, they must be honest, self-cultivation, integrity, family style, and build an important line of defense against corruption. The relationship between style and family style, to truly use good family style to take the lead in creating a good political ecology is not only responsible for oneself, but also for the family, but also for the party and the country.
