China News Agency, Beijing, January 6 (Zhang Su, Xie Yanbing) On January 6, at the beginning of the new year in 2023, Chinese officials announced that three "tigers" were beaten in one day: Ji Binchang, chairman of the Shandong Qingdao CPPCC, National Tobacco He Zehua, former member of the party group and deputy director of the Monopoly Bureau, and Wang Xuefeng, former deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Hebei Provincial People's Congress, are suspected of serious violations of discipline and law, and are being investigated separately.

  Fighting three "tigers" in a row at the beginning of the year has released a strong signal that the anti-corruption struggle will not stop, and it also shows the three trends of China's anti-corruption.

  --"strict"

  Ji Binchang, known as the "first tiger" in 2023, was investigated in office, and his last public activity was on January 3.

He also presided over the closing meeting of the second session of the 14th Qingdao Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference a few days ago, and in his speech he talked about "conducting politics with integrity".

  He Zehua and Wang Xuefeng resigned in 2014 and 2018 respectively.

The practice of fighting "tigers" has repeatedly shown that retirement is not a talisman, and anti-corruption is no exception. As long as the red line of discipline and law is touched, there will always be a day when things will be revealed and the price will be paid.

  In the past year, China has adopted a zero-tolerance attitude to combat corruption and punish evil. 32 centrally managed officials were announced to undergo investigation and investigation, and 37 centrally managed officials were punished.

In less than three months since the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the government has notified that 10 centrally managed cadres have been investigated and investigated, and 3 centrally managed cadres have been punished by the party discipline and government affairs.

  Just one day before the official announcement that the three "tigers" were beaten, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission published an article "Resolutely Fight the Protracted Battle Against Corruption" on the 5th.

The article named many "tigers" and pointed out that we must "adhere to the strict tone and never waver, and always maintain a high-pressure anti-corruption struggle."

  Observers pointed out that the intensive attack on "tigers" demonstrates the fundamental tone of comprehensively and strictly governing the party. Wrong expectation of tuning tone" message.

  --"allow"

  "Key minority" and "key areas" are regarded as important sources of corruption increase.

In recent years, while adhering to the main tone of strictness, the government has launched precise governance of corruption in "key minorities" and "key areas", including "continuing to promote corruption governance in the financial sector" and "deepening anti-corruption work in state-owned enterprises".

  Among the three officials who were sacked this time, Ji Binchang has been focusing on economic work for many years.

He has served as deputy director and member of the Party Committee of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the People's Government of Shandong Province, party secretary and director of the Shandong Provincial Economic and Information Technology Commission, and has also been at the helm of Shandong Luxin Investment Holding Group Co., Ltd.

  He Zehua has worked in the tobacco industry for a long time, and has served as the deputy director of the Jiangsu Provincial Tobacco Monopoly Bureau (company) and the general manager of Anhui China Tobacco Industrial Company.

Since July 2003, he has worked in the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration for more than ten years.

  At present, China's anti-corruption work is increasingly focusing on "key points", and the rectification and investigation of corruption in key areas, key industries, and key groups of people is more clear.

With the continuous improvement of the level of precision, the effectiveness of anti-corruption governance has been comprehensively improved.

  After the three "tigers" were beaten, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Committee issued a comment saying that it is necessary to "deepen the rectification of corruption in areas where power is concentrated, capital-intensive, and resource-rich" and "further eradicate the breeding ground for corruption."

It is known that the disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies are continuing to deepen the rectification of corruption in power-concentrated, capital-intensive, and resource-rich fields such as state-owned enterprises, finance, politics and law, and grain purchases and sales, and clean up industrial, systemic, and regional corruption with high risks and hidden dangers.

  --"deep"

  While fighting corruption with an iron fist, the discipline inspection and supervision organs also use the courage of the blade to prevent "black under the lights".

The outside world noticed that Wang Xuefeng, who was sacked this time, had worked in the Hebei Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection for nearly ten years.

  In recent years, a small number of discipline inspection and supervision cadres have encountered problems such as using power for personal gain and using cases for personal gain, highlighting the necessity and urgency of strict management and strict supervision.

A few days ago, Li Xi, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, emphasized during the collective study of the 20th Standing Committee of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection that we must adhere to high standards and strict requirements in forging an iron army of discipline inspection and supervision.

  While unswervingly deepening the anti-corruption struggle, the government has also taken multiple measures to strengthen warnings and deterrence, such as launching a "2023 New Year's Day and Spring Festival period'Four winds' issue supervision and reporting exposure area" to increase the exposure of typical cases.

In addition, the four-episode TV feature film "Forever Blowing the Charge" is about to be broadcast. This film will tell how the CCP persists in promoting comprehensive and strict party governance. It is expected that the film will disclose the details of more than ten cases.

  What has attracted more attention is the second plenary meeting of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, which will be held from 9 to 11 this month. The outside world generally believes that the anti-corruption work will be further deployed at the meeting.
