The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission notified 10 typical cases, releasing a signal to rectify the interweaving problems of wind and corruption.
Purify the circle of political and business contacts
Our reporter Lu Lihuan
The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission have publicly notified 10 typical cases of violating the eight central regulations.
Among them, many cases involved party member leading cadres and even senior leading cadres in violation of regulations accepting banquets from private business owners, and receiving gifts and gifts from private business owners in violation of regulations.
The occurrence of these problems reflects that the "four winds" are rooted, stubborn and complex, and there is always a risk of corruption from wind and wind, and from wind to corruption.
Seriously investigating these problems fully demonstrates the Party Central Committee's perseverance in advancing the work style construction and the firm determination that violations of discipline must be investigated, and discipline must be strictly enforced.
Although the specific circumstances of the notified cases are different, they are all outstanding problems of enjoyment and luxury. Disciplinary violations occurred or continued after the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Responsible personnel are in important positions in their units, and many of them are still "top leaders." In addition, "being unclear" with private business owners is a typical example of failure to converge or stop.
With the sharp sword of party discipline and state law hanging high, why are there still people violating discipline and regulations against the wind?
What kind of harm did these actions bring?
How should the discipline inspection and supervision organs rectify, promote the purification of the "friend circle" of party members and cadres, and build a new type of pro-clean political-business relationship?
A cigarette and a card are often the beginning of violation of discipline to breaking the law.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the discipline inspection and supervision organs have persistently corrected the "four winds".
Through unremitting efforts, the problem of luxury and enjoyment on the surface has been effectively curbed, but violations of discipline and invisible mutations such as illegally accepting private business owners' banquets and traveling, and illegally receiving private business owners' gifts and gifts, etc., still occur from time to time.
After sorting out the notified cases, it was found that holding golf cards issued by private business owners and others, receiving banquets arranged by private business owners, “one-table meals”, and receiving gifts and gifts from private business owners have repeatedly appeared, exposing the cause The risk of corruption and corruption from wind is always there. This is the focus of discipline inspection and supervision agencies that need to continue to rectify.
Judging from the findings of supervision and inspection, inspections, inspections, and cadres and the masses, the issue of illegally receiving gifts and gifts from private business owners is still banned.
For example, from 2015 to 2020, the former party secretary and chairman of the Guizhou Provincial Committee of the CPPCC, Wang Fuyu, received gifts and gift money in violation of regulations many times, and the amount was particularly huge.
Compared with famous cigarettes, wines and gifts, golf has been alienated as a status symbol and a means for businessmen to "hunt" senior leaders.
Under the "sugar-coated shells" of golf membership cards, some party leaders and cadres have become complicit and "protective umbrellas" for illegal businessmen to grab huge profits.
For example, Yin Jiaxu, the former party secretary and chairman of China North Industries Group Co., Ltd., in the party’s mass line education practice activities in 2013, cleared 3 golf cards and made false “zero-holding” promises, actually still holding private Business owners and others have handled six golf cards for them. As of April 2021, they have played golf in Chongqing and other places for hundreds of times.
From 2015 to 2019, he played golf in Hainan, Beijing and other places many times, and the expenses were paid by his subordinates or private business owners.
In order to evade supervision, some party members and cadres were lucky enough to choose concealed methods such as express delivery to receive gifts, but in the end they could not escape the severe punishment of discipline.
For example, Cao Wenxiu, a second-level investigator of the former Miyun Economic Development Zone Management Committee in Beijing, was the deputy director of the Economic Development Zone Management Committee from 2013 to 2020. During the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, he repeatedly accepted a private real estate within his jurisdiction. 13 boxes of high-end wine, 10 high-end cigarettes and other gifts presented by the person in charge of the company.
During the Spring Festival of 2021, Cao Wenxiu accepted gifts such as liquor and fruits sent by the person in charge of the company by express delivery.
The above gifts amount to more than 88,000 yuan in total.
Cao Wenxiu was severely warned and punished by the party, and the proceeds of violation of discipline were confiscated.
In the notified case, "don't eat public money and eat the boss", and the issue of illegally accepting banquets that may affect the fair execution of official duties deserves a high degree of vigilance.
For example, Xin Yuanqing, former director of the Food Operation and Safety Supervision and Administration Department of Shanghai Municipal Administration of Market Supervision, a first-level investigator, after New Year’s Day in 2021, has twice accepted banquets and meals from a person in charge of a restaurant within its jurisdiction. A total of 29,000 yuan; before the Spring Festival in 2021, a banquet arranged by a private enterprise was illegally accepted, and the total meal cost was 7,344 yuan.
The problem of accepting travel arrangements for private business owners has also occurred from time to time. For example, during the Spring Festival in 2016 and 2017, Wang Fuyu asked private business owners to provide luxury villas for them and their family members to vacation in Sanya; another example, on National Day in 2015, Yin Jiaxu accepted private companies The owner arranges to travel with his family to Yinchuan, Ningxia, except for the round-trip air ticket, the rest of the expenses are paid by the private business owner.
In addition, a small number of party leaders and cadres even use private business owners as long-term "wallets" and "meal tickets." For example, from 2017 to 2020, Wang Fuyu arranged private business owners to pay more than 267,600 yuan to hire family nanny for them.
"A cigarette and a card are often the beginning of violations of discipline and law. The'dining table' is often a'theater' of hunting cadres, rent-seeking power, and building circles. It is necessary to be highly vigilant and guard against wind, corruption, and wind. Corruption is intertwined.” said Song Wei, director of the Center for Integrity Research of University of Science and Technology Beijing.
Power-for-money trading and power rent-seeking seriously affect the principle of fair competition and hinder the healthy development of the socialist market economy
"Received gifts and money in violation of regulations many times, and the amount is particularly huge." "Received banquets arranged by private business owners many times" "Holding 6 golf cards issued by private business owners and others for him...Hundreds of golfing times"... ... combing through the reported cases and found that the decay of party members and leading cadres did not happen overnight, but started with "a glass of wine," "a meal," "a cigarette," and "a card."
"This is a process that is intertwined with wind, rot, and wind rot. As the level goes from low to high, the value of gifts and the specifications of banquets gradually increase. In the cases investigated, many senior leaders received gifts that were not of value. Philippine." Song Wei analyzed that, on the surface, party members and leading cadres accept gifts from private business owners to satisfy appetite and vanity. In essence, they use the gift money from the dinner to blend interests and commit corruption.
Judging from the cases investigated and dealt with in recent years, there are not a few party members and leading cadres who "at one end of the wine glass, relax the principles" and "treat private business owners as "Tang monk meat"". The fundamental reason is the indifference of party members, the lack of ideals and beliefs, and the slack concept of discipline.
The problem of hedonic luxury is a breeding ground for corruption.
Zhuang Deshui, deputy director of Peking University's Research Center for Integrity Construction, believes that behind the problem of hedonic luxury are the "desire" of privileged thinking, the "bureau" of meticulous hunting, the "real" of power and money trading, and the "heart" of political clinging.
In addition to profit-driven, another important reason why lawless elements frequently "hunt" party members and leading cadres is luck and speculation.
Some people believe that in the process of "encircling hunting" and "being hunted", party members and cadres and public officials will be punished by party discipline and state laws, and as long as they are not party members and public officials, there is no risk.
In addition, in the market economy, lawless elements collude with some party members, cadres and public officials through the "pervasive" penetration, causing serious damage to the local business environment.
Some private business owners told reporters that in order to have a greater competitive advantage among their peers, a small number of companies are desperate to “encircle” party leaders and cadres by “colluding” with a few officials to obtain important resource trading rights and reduce transaction costs.
For example, Xiao Yi, the former party member and vice chairman of the Jiangxi Provincial CPPCC, and the unlawful private business owner used power for personal gain; another example is Li Mingfu, the former deputy director of the Public Security Bureau of Huanren Manchu Autonomous County, Benxi, Liaoning Province, illegally collecting property from others in order to seek benefits for related companies.
“Politics and businessmen’s “unclear relationship” will inevitably lead to illegal gains. For officials, it is illegal to receive gifts or even bribes; for businessmen, it is to seek illegitimate gains. Such behavior undermines the principle of fair competition and is detrimental to society. The healthy development of the socialist market economy. Especially for the local party and government leaders. If such problems arise, they will have a very negative impact on the local political ecology and social atmosphere.” Song Wei believes that we must fight hard and cut it. The hand of "encircling hunting" that stretched out to public power was broken.
Starting from the prominent problems that the masses have strongly reflected, starting from the leading cadres, continue to work hard to rectify the stubborn diseases such as illegal eating and drinking, illegal gifts and gifts, etc.
"To build a new type of political-business relationship, the discipline inspection and supervision organs must seriously investigate and punish violations of discipline and law, such as soliciting bribes, accepting bribes, taking credit cards, and failing to perform due diligence, and omissions." Zhuang Deshui suggested.
Disciplinary inspection and supervision organs at all levels started from the prominent problems that the masses had strongly complained about, and insisted on fighting against the "four winds" of violations of discipline and damaging the business environment, and refused to give in, and continued to make efforts to rectify illegal eating and drinking, and receiving and giving gifts in violation of regulations. Resolutely prevent the rebound of hedonism and extravagance.
Announcement exposure is a powerful weapon to rectify the "four winds" problem.
Since the beginning of this year, among the typical cases of violation of the spirit of the eight central regulations announced by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission, there are many violations of discipline and law, such as illegally receiving gifts and gifts from private business owners and illegally accepting banquets.
All localities are also keeping an eye on important nodes, reporting and exposing typical problems, and continuing to send a strong signal that rectification of the "four winds" is "more stringent in the future."
Keeping a close eye on the illegal eating and drinking of the enterprises involved, illegal receipt of gifts and gifts, etc., starting from the prominent problems that the masses have strongly reported, the Discipline Inspection Commission of Yumen City, Gansu Province has established a "pro-clean" supervision platform for optimizing the business environment, extending the supervision tentacles to the front line of the enterprise , To fully accept the problems of companies and staff with public service functions, such as the need to eat and take cards.
We have established a “zero delay” investigation and handling system for the collected issues related to corporate violations of discipline and law, accurately analyzed and judged complaints and reports, prioritized verification, completed within a limited time, and severely investigated and dealt with.
Some of the "four winds" that harm the business environment have been changed and hidden deeper. Disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies use "big data" supervision to solve the problem of invisible mutation.
The Commission for Discipline Inspection of Changshu City, Jiangsu Province has thoroughly explored the "Internet + Supervision" model, and loaded the "Incorruption" enterprise module function in the grassroots incorruptibility supervision platform, so as to realize the "one-click upload" of the enterprise's incorruptibility liaisons to report problems. Supervisors enter the company to contact the online closed-loop management of "discovering problems, assigning problems, promoting rectification, and return visit evaluation".
Since the launch of the platform, a total of 500 records of corporate visits have been uploaded and 36 corporate-related issues have been resolved.
Problems such as pursuing power for personal gain, trading power for money, eating and taking credit cards, and inaction, are common "medium obstructions" in optimizing the business environment.
The sword refers to "pain points", "blocking points" and "difficulties". The Changshu Commission for Discipline Inspection has carried out a special rectification of corporate-related administrative law enforcement behaviors, and carried out centralized rectification of the grass-roots law enforcement teams of 13 departments including public security, emergency management, and market supervision. Rectify the problems of unfairness, irregularity, and incorruptibility in law enforcement, and severely investigate and deal with public officials’ violations of discipline and law, such as the use of power for personal gain, and the use of power for personal gain. A total of 77 party members and cadres who have illegally accepted banquet service arrangements and illegally accepted gifts and gifts have been investigated and dealt with. .
In cases involving violations of discipline and law in enterprises, there are more problems with the power of “top leaders” and persons in charge of the competent departments to seek rent. Disciplinary inspection and supervision organs have grasped from leading cadres to find out the risk points of clean government, and implement the management of people, affairs, and powers.
The Commission for Discipline Inspection of Shangcheng District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province launched the "Incorruption Code" political ecological supervision and management platform, and entered the system for matters related to the main responsibilities of each unit, political ecological construction files, the implementation of pro-Qing political and business relations, and the development of special supervision work. And assign designated points to promote the "top leaders" to take the initiative to perform their duties and consciously accept supervision.
"'Lianqing Code' has three colors: green, yellow, and red, corresponding to scores of 95 points or more, 90 to 95 points, and 90 points or less. The "top leader" must ensure that his responsibilities are fully performed without losing points, and It is necessary to urge team members and subordinates to score more points. Only in this way can they get the green code.” The relevant person in charge of the Shangcheng District Discipline Inspection Commission introduced.
Hiring supervisors, carrying out smart digital supervision, establishing a "discipline inspection and supervision through train"... Keeping an eye on the stubborn diseases of the "four winds" of the enterprises involved, the discipline inspection and supervision organs innovate ways and methods to carry out supervision, and the facts behind each hard move show that The determination to rectify severely.
Educate and guide the majority of party members and cadres to carry forward the party’s fine style of work, so that the atmosphere of integrity and integrity will continue to fill
Integrate the correction of the "four winds" with the establishment of a new trend. Discipline inspection and supervision agencies at all levels educate and guide party members and cadres to communicate with entrepreneurs openly and honestly, and focus on providing quality services and solving practical difficulties. , To prevent the vulgarity of "pro-Qing" and "Qing" relations into material exchanges such as food, drink and gifts, and promote the formation of a new pro-Qing political and business relationship.
The Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Jing'an District of Shanghai urged and reminded party members, cadres and public officials to strengthen their ideological awareness of anti-corruption and degeneration through the production of H5 micro-scenes, animations, short videos, WeChat applets and other forms of clean government works, and consciously purify social circles and life circles.
"The District Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervisory Committee organized a'Bring Fengxia' propaganda group to preach party discipline and national laws through online videos and offline in-depth grassroots methods, and promote the pro-Qing political and business relationship special clean government education into the brain and heart." The person in charge said that the dispatched discipline inspection and supervision team also took the initiative to interpret the opinions on regulating the conduct of political and business exchanges for the leading cadres stationed in the unit, and promoted party members, cadres and public officials to clarify the "pro" and "clear" in their contacts and exchanges with private economic figures. boundary.
"To build a new type of pro-Qing political and business relationship, we must accelerate the construction of a government under the rule of law." Zhuang Deshui believes that the relationship between politics and business is more complicated. In order to effectively promote good cooperation in the relationship between politics and business and avoid collusion between politics and business, it is necessary to standardize the behavior of political and business relations with the construction of the rule of law. boundary.
The Shanghai Baoshan District Commission for Discipline Inspection has improved the work system in response to the unclear boundaries of political and commercial exchanges and loopholes in policies and regulations discovered in its work, studied and issued guidelines for promoting the establishment of pro-Qing political and commercial relations, and launched investment promotion for state-owned (collective) enterprises. The pro-business activities to stabilize business, the participation of government investment personnel in political and business exchanges, and the disciplinary inspection and supervision organization to help optimize the business environment have listed positive and negative lists to help party members and cadres to dispel their ideological concerns, relieve their ideological burdens, and actively take responsibility and perform their duties.
Behind the interweaving problems of wind, corruption, and wind corruption, there is also the problem of "hunting" of party members and cadres by briberyers unscrupulously.
The Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection pointed out that it is exploring the implementation of a "blacklist" system for bribers, and seriously investigating and punishing multiple acts of bribery and huge amounts of bribery.
This year, the National Supervisory Committee of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and relevant units jointly issued the "Opinions on Further Promoting the Joint Inspection of Bribery and Bribery", which will pay multiple bribes, large amounts of bribes, and bribes to many people, especially after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. As the focus of investigation and punishment, it demonstrates the firm determination to zero tolerance for bribery.
Various localities actively explore and implement a "blacklist" system for bribers, comprehensively use disciplinary, legal, administrative, economic and other means to punish and educate bribers, completely cut off the chain of interests of "encirclement hunting" and willingness to be "encircled hunting", and break the power and money transaction relationship The Internet, dispelling the fluke and speculative mentality of bribers, advocates the concept of integrity and law-abiding in the whole society, so that the atmosphere of honesty and integrity continues to fill.
