It's not just the leaders themselves who are being hunted...
Yun Guangzhong, who was born in June 1960, is 62 years old this year. He has been working in Inner Mongolia since October 1977. In June 2019, he was sacked as a member of the Standing Committee of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Party Committee and Secretary of the Hohhot Municipal Party Committee.
In December 2019, Yunguangzhong was "double-opened".
In November 2020, the Dalian Intermediate People's Court found out that Yun Guangzhong, directly or through his close relatives, illegally accepted property from others, equivalent to a total of more than 94.32 million yuan, and was sentenced to 14 years in prison.
The feature film broadcast on the 18th revealed that among the nearly 100 million yuan of property obtained from bribery in Yunguang, more than 37 million yuan was received from a coal-related enterprise.
The feature film revealed that a company wanted to apply for a coal field with larger reserves and better coal quality. In order to gain the support of Yun Guangzhong, the mayor of Ordos at the time, the company boss got acquainted with Yun Guangzhong’s son and wife through a relationship. When I came to the door, I dragged 2 million yuan in cash with a suitcase.
Since then, he has repeatedly sent money and gifts to Yun Guangzhong's wife and son, with a total amount of nearly 3 million yuan.
Correspondingly, the company successfully replaced a high-quality well field.

Coal-related corruption spreads to real estate and other fields
Laozi's front desk approves coal and his children make money later
The feature film revealed that many relatives and children of leading cadres are involved in the coal industry, which is one of the prominent phenomena in coal-related corruption cases.
Yun Guangzhong's son Yun Lei and former China Huadian Group Corporation Deputy Party Secretary and General Manager Yun Citizen's son Yun Kaichen once partnered in a coal "business", essentially taking huge bribes from their father in exchange for power.
In addition, corruption in the coal sector has also spread to other sectors such as transportation, land, and real estate.
Yun Kaichen has been involved in real estate and road construction in Inner Mongolia. On the one hand, Citizen Yun greeted local officials to help his son acquire land, and on the other hand instructed the coal company under Huadian Group to buy housing in his son's company, allowing his son to quickly accumulate huge wealth.
Yun Kaichen said frankly in the film: In fact, I have never done business, and I don't know anything at all. Many officials in Ordos are my father's old subordinates, so it is very convenient. We will give us the green light for land development or something. Did a lot of illegal things.
Liu Xiaobin, deputy director of the 15th Examination and Investigation Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and State Supervision Commission, introduced that some leading cadres of the examination and approval departments also used their powers to set foot in the coal field and encroach on coal resources. To make money; some leading cadres go into battle naked and directly use the power in their hands to obtain coal fields; some leading cadres participate in it through secret shares or cadres, and seek huge profits.

You approve this and that for the boss
The final result is to go to Qincheng
The feature film revealed that some of the coal-rich coalition cities once served as "top leaders", and one of the most important powers was the right to allocate resources.
For the owners of coal enterprises, whether it is to purchase coal mines, replace coal fields, or promote coal conversion projects, government approval is required.
Bai Xiangqun, former member of the party group and vice chairman of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Government: The biggest temptation is to have the final say. You criticize this and that for the boss. You can't resist this temptation, and the final result is Qincheng.
Yun Guangzhong, former member of the Standing Committee of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Party Committee and former secretary of the Hohhot Municipal Party Committee: It is not only the leader who is being hunted, but the entire group of relatives and friends of the leader will hunt you.
The result is that my generation, including my next generation, has not grasped the economic development process.
Yun Citizen, former deputy secretary of the party group and general manager of China Huadian Group Corporation: I used my power to condone them. My son and girl are in the coal business, which is obviously my personal connections.
