The battle against corruption and anti-corruption is still fierce. It is necessary to maintain a strong force to oppose and punish corruption.
Grasp the new stage characteristics of anti-corruption
Our reporter Han Yadong
General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech at the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, emphasizing that we must be soberly aware that the battle against corruption and anti-corruption is still going on fiercely, showing some new phased characteristics, and preventing the formation of various interest groups. There is still a long way to go to co-operate and “hunt” for corrosion. There is still a long way to go to effectively deal with the invisible mutation of corruption means, and to renovate and upgrade. There is still a long way to go to completely eradicate the breeding ground for corruption and realize the return of Haiyan River.
Corruption is the easiest problem to overthrow the regime, and anti-corruption is the most thorough self-revolution.
On the way to the new exam, we must keep a clear head, always blow the charge, and keep in mind that anti-corruption is always on the way.
As long as the soil and conditions for corruption exist, corruption will not be eradicated, and the fight against corruption will not be able to stop.
We must take the initiative to respond to the new situation and new challenges in the fight against corruption, maintain a strong force to oppose and punish corruption, and unswervingly push the fight against corruption in depth.
1 There is still a long way to go to prevent all kinds of interest groups from ganging up and "hunting" corrosion
The battle between corruption and anti-corruption presents a new phased feature, which is highlighted in the fact that there is still a long way to go to prevent all kinds of interest groups from ganging up and "hunting" for corruption.
Some people disregard the party's political discipline and rules, and form various political interest groups within the party.
The Sun Lijun political gang case is a typical example of this.
In September 2021, Sun Lijun, former member of the party committee and deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security, was "double-opened", and the report stated that he "has been engaged in gangs, gangs, and personal influence within the party, forming interest groups, and forming groups to control key points. department, seriously undermining the unity and unity of the party, and seriously endangering political security.”
Some people are "hunted" by lawbreakers and become the "prey" of lawbreakers, forming political interest groups that collude with each other and trade power and money within the party and outside the party.
In January 2021, Song Jianji, the former deputy secretary of the party committee and deputy director of the Inner Mongolia Banking Regulatory Bureau, was announced to be expelled from the party, stating that he "colluded with illegal interest groups, tied up interests, and was willing to be an 'inner ghost'".
Under the organized, premeditated, and hierarchical coercion of illegal enterprises, the leading group of the former Inner Mongolia Banking Regulatory Bureau fell collectively.
Xue Jining, the former Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Inner Mongolia Banking Regulatory Bureau, "implemented the decision and deployment of the Central Committee of the Party's financial work at a discount, made flexibility, and gave up the responsibility of supervision." Even though Baoshang Bank clearly knew that Baoshang Bank did not meet the system requirements for city commercial banks to set up branches in different places, he still reported to the former China Banking Regulatory Commission. The approval opinion was reported, so that Baoshang Bank successfully established Shenzhen, Chengdu and Beijing branches.
Zhuang Deshui, deputy director of the Research Center for Integrity Construction at Peking University, analyzed that the characteristics of interest groups forming a partnership are often manifested as: ignoring the party's political discipline and rules, undermining the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee and the party's unity and unity; political issues and economic issues are intertwined. Political power and economic interests are intertwined, and the "four winds" issue and the "seven possessions" interpenetrate each other. The consequences of interest groups forming gangs are serious, not only seriously disrupting the market order, but also potentially endangering the country's political security.
All kinds of political interest groups are not allowed within the party, nor are there political interest groups that collude with each other and trade power and money within the party and outside the party.
We must resolutely eliminate corrupt elements intertwined with political issues and economic issues, insist on investigating both bribery and bribery, resolutely prevent the formation of interest groups within the party, and resolutely prevent various interest groups from "hunting" and kidnapping leading cadres.
2 There is still a long way to go to effectively deal with the invisible mutation of corrupt means, renovation and upgrading
The battle between corruption and anti-corruption presents a new phased feature. As the anti-corruption struggle continues to develop in depth, the countermeasures of corrupt elements are gradually "upgraded", and there is still a long way to go to effectively deal with the invisible mutation, renovation and upgrading of corrupt means.
Some use "shadow companies" and "shadow shareholders" to collect and hold shares for profit.
When investigating the case of Liu Hong, the former Secretary of the Party Committee and President of PICC Investment Holdings Co., Ltd., the Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission of the People's Insurance Company of China found that a local boss specially "tailored" a company for Liu Hong to operate The scope deliberately overlapped with PICC’s investment and control. Liu Hong accepted tens of millions of shares of the company in the form of holding on behalf of others, and repeatedly collected benefits through the company by signing false financial service agreements. coordination".
Some seek profits through "realization of options", reach tacit agreements with unscrupulous businessmen, tacit understanding when doing things, and cash out after retirement.
In October 2018, Cui Chen, the former deputy director of the Economic and Information Commission of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, was announced to be expelled from the party, stating that he "uses the business activities of state-owned enterprises as a tool for personal gain, engages in 'option corruption' that benefits from incumbency and retirement returns, and retirees. Solicitation and acceptance of bribes.”
Some use "elegant" and "elegant bribes" to make profits, accepting cultural relics, calligraphy and painting, handicrafts, or high-priced "authority fees", "consulting fees", "review fees" and "writing fees".
In addition to illegally accepting gifts and shopping cards, Shen Hao, former secretary of the party committee and director of Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum (Group) Co., Ltd., and former deputy director of the Finance and Economics Committee of the Provincial People's Congress, also accepted 60 collectible coins, 14 paintings and calligraphy works, and 1 wood carving. wishful.
Some work in China and collect money abroad, while some transfer the stolen money overseas through underground banks in an attempt to hide the truth.
Wu Zhanhui, the former deputy secretary general of the Dongguan Municipal Party Committee of Guangdong Province, moved his pregnant wife to Hong Kong. "Without any worries", he began to accept bribes and launder money madly through underground banks. Before the incident, he transferred a total of 92 million Hong Kong dollars of assets overseas. , for the purchase of commercial housing for the wife and daughter to live in, etc.
In addition, some put on an "invisible coat", and under the guise of "lending", "investing" and "entrusted financial management", they wantonly amass money, and indirectly seek profits by means of buying low and selling high, false transactions, mediation, and bank savings. , documents, procedures are readily available, trying to put a legal cloak on corruption.
However, no matter how concealed the means of corruption are, they will always leave traces.
In recent years, from the application of big data and other means for analysis and comparison, to the improvement of departmental cooperation and cooperation mechanisms to gather together the joint forces of struggle, to the expansion of supervision and reporting channels to facilitate the masses to report, our party has continuously improved relevant measures to effectively improve the effectiveness of anti-corruption governance.
In the face of the strategic situation of heavy containment, strong pressure, and long deterrence, any means of corruption will be invisible.
3 There is a long way to go to completely eradicate the breeding ground for corruption and realize the clean up of the Haiyan River
The battle between corruption and anti-corruption presents a new phased feature, which is manifested in the fact that the current breeding ground for corruption still exists, the task of eliminating the stock and curbing the increase is still arduous and arduous, and there is still a long way to go to achieve Haiyan River cleanup.
The outstanding problems in the party, such as impure ideology, impure politics, impure organization and impure work style, have not been fundamentally resolved.
Corruption cases published on the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission show that despite the unprecedented anti-corruption situation, there are still some leading cadres who did not restrain themselves after the 18th or even 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
Under the conditions of developing the socialist market economy, the principle of commodity exchange will inevitably penetrate into the life of the party.
Judging from the investigation and handling of cases, whether the transaction of power and money, the transaction of power and power, or bribery, buying and selling officials, they are all full of the shadow of commodity exchange.
A fallen official wrote in his confession: "The normal comradeship has completely turned into a commodity exchange relationship."
Wrong ideas and rotten concepts such as money worship, hedonism, and individualism still exist.
The feudal consciousness of "official standard", the privileged thought of "confessing the wife and the son", the bad official habit of "being an official for thousands of miles is only for wealth", the corrupt way of "one person attains the Tao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven", these rotten and dross things, Although it cannot be on the stage in an open and fair manner, it is regarded as a matter of course in the minds of some people, and dregs appear in some places.
Distorted values drive the growth and spread of corruption, and the prevalence of corruption in turn exacerbates the distortion of values.
Unhealthy trends and corruption are intertwined, and they are inside and outside of each other.
In September 2021, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission publicly announced ten typical cases of violation of the spirit of the eight central regulations, 5 of which were serious violations of discipline and law in which cadres in the central management changed from corruption to corruption, and were eventually sanctioned by party discipline and state laws.
Unhealthy tendencies are a breeding ground for corruption, and many cadres start with unhealthy tendencies and gradually embark on a path of no return to corruption.
The corrosion of power is long-term, and strengthening the supervision and restraint of power is an eternal issue.
At present, various reforms have entered the deep water area, and the rest are hard bones.
We must overcome the chronic diseases of the system and mechanism, break through the barriers of solidifying interests, ensure that public power operates on the right track, and constantly compress the living space and breeding ground of corruption.
4 There is still a long way to go to clean up systemic corruption and resolve hidden risks
The battle between corruption and anti-corruption presents a new phased feature, and it also shows that there is still a long way to go to clean up systemic corruption and resolve hidden risks.
Responsibility, corruption, and work style problems in the field of grain purchase and sales are prominent, and even spread in some places and persist for a long time, forming a systemic and territorial chronic disease.
In November 2021, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission notified ten typical cases of violations of discipline and law in the field of grain purchase and sales.
Judging from the reported cases, most of the violations of discipline and law occurred after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, or even after the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, involving business supervisory departments and state-owned grain enterprises, covering grain purchase, storage, sales, etc. In this link, the amount involved is large, the personnel involved are high-level, and the consequences are serious.
Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels have promoted the solution to the problem of systemic corruption in the field of grain purchase and sales, and achieved lasting results.
Finance is the lifeblood of the national economy and is related to the national economy and people's livelihood as well as various fields of economic and social development. Corruption in the financial field is often intertwined with various market risks and political risks, which not only affects the functioning of financial functions, but also leads to systemic risks.
In recent years, a small number of financial practitioners and regulators have abandoned their original mission and regarded state-owned financial assets as "cash cows".
With the continuous intensification of financial anti-corruption efforts, a number of corrupt individuals have been severely investigated and dealt with, effectively cutting off the interest chain of collusion between regulators, financial institution practitioners and bad business owners, providing a strong guarantee for preventing and defusing risks and maintaining national security.
In addition, in the field of engineering construction, from project initiation, tendering, construction, and acceptance, corruption has been repeatedly banned; some leading cadres in the economic development zone are not divided between government and enterprise, "being both an official and a businessman", and the amount involved is huge.
In response to the prominent phenomenon of systemic corruption in some areas, the 6th Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection requested that we resolutely investigate and deal with major corruption cases, seriously investigate and deal with corruption cases where political and economic problems are intertwined, and increase the purchase and sales of state-owned enterprises, finance, politics and law, and grain. , the construction of development zones and other areas to fight corruption, and make real efforts to promote reform and governance through cases.
5. Actively respond to the new situation and new challenges in the fight against corruption, and always maintain a new normal in which corruption must be revolted, corruption must be punished, and found to be investigated and dealt with together, forming a virtuous circle of punishing evil and promoting goodness
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the anti-corruption struggle has won an overwhelming victory and has been consolidated in an all-round way. A virtuous cycle of promoting goodness and rectification simultaneously.
The Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection made deployment on "maintaining strong forces to oppose and punish corruption, and unswervingly push the anti-corruption struggle in depth".
It is necessary to strengthen political determination, adhere to the main tone of strictness and unswervingly, maintain the overwhelming political, ideological, organizational, and institutional power over corruption, accurately grasp the stage characteristics of the anti-corruption struggle, and conduct in-depth research on the current methods of corruption. , characteristics and performance, improve the ability to detect and respond to new problems and new trends in a timely manner, continue to deepen the integration of not dare to corrupt, cannot corrupt, and do not want to corrupt, punish and deter, institutional constraints, and improve awareness, and implement precise and targeted policies. , all the time, one grasp to the end.
There is always a strong force against and punishing corruption.
In January 2022, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and State Supervision Commission released Zhang Yongze, Vice Chairman of the Tibet Autonomous Region Government, Wang Bin, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of China Life Insurance (Group) Company, Liu Hongwu, Vice Chairman of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Government, and Deputy Director of the Standing Committee of the Sichuan Provincial People's Congress Wang Minghui, Xu Baoyi, former member of the party group and deputy general manager of China Grain Storage Company, Xie Jilai, former deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Hebei Provincial People's Congress, Song Xibin, deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Heilongjiang Provincial People's Congress, and other central management cadres received the news of the review and investigation, and continued to release information on the construction of a clean and clean government. A strong signal that the anti-corruption struggle is going on to the end and that the troops will not be withdrawn until a complete victory is obtained.
Tighten the institutional cage and link upright conduct, discipline and anti-corruption with deepening reforms, improving systems, promoting governance, and promoting development.
Since the beginning of this year, the disciplinary inspection and supervision organs at all levels have promoted the integration of case handling, rectification and governance, summarizing common problems from the cases investigated, analyzing the underlying causes, finding problems and weak links in institutional mechanisms and supervision and management, and proposing disciplinary inspection and supervision suggestions, supervising and urging Carry out special governance, promote the transformation of punishment results into fundamental ones, and enhance the comprehensive effect of anti-corruption.
To educate and guide party members and cadres to consolidate their roots and cultivate their originality ideologically, to improve their party spirit, and to enhance their ability to resist corruption and change.
From the continuous holding of the theme education of "Integrity" to promote the culture of Chongde and goodness, to the use of "people around you" and "things around you" to carry out warning education, to researching and formulating opinions on strengthening the construction of an incorruptible culture in the new era, and further strengthening family education The implementation opinions of the family style construction, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the State Supervision Commission and the discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels continue to consolidate the foundation of not wanting to be corrupt, educate and guide the majority of party members and cadres to strengthen the foundation with ideals and beliefs, refine the party spirit with revolutionary culture, and inspire wisdom with traditional culture Run the heart, temper the character with noble morality, and temper the political morality with self-discipline.
