Dalian Officialdom Has Many "Tigers" Investigated Why There Are "Intimate" Relations Among Fallen Officials There Are Hot Comments on Online Matters

On the afternoon of 12 April, yi Jun, former secretary of the party committee and director of the Dalian Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, was subject to disciplinary review and supervision and investigation on suspicion of serious violations of discipline and law, and on the afternoon of 12 April, the Liaoning Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision issued another news on the dismissal of a senior Dalian official: Yuan Keli, former member of the Standing Committee of the Dalian Municipal CPC Committee and former executive vice mayor of Dalian City, Liaoning Province, was suspected of serious violations of discipline and law and was under disciplinary review and supervision and investigation.

Judging from the information exposed by the media, Yuan Keli's fall may be related to the case of Wang Wei, former party secretary and director of Dalian Radio and Television Station. It is not difficult to check the resumes of Yuan Keli and Wang Wei to find that the two have worked together for a long time and are superior-subordinate relations. From 2011 to September 2016, Yuan Keli served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Dalian Municipal Party Committee and director of the Propaganda Department. During the same period, Wang Wei served as secretary of the party committee and director of Dalian Radio and Television Station and deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Dalian Municipal Party Committee.

"Intimate" relationships between fallen officials are not uncommon. This phenomenon fully shows that if we do not observe discipline and pay attention to rules, we will bear the evil fruit of corruption. Discipline and rules are the red line and the bottom line, the red line cannot be crossed, and the bottom line cannot be touched. The friendship of gentlemen should have been as light as water, but because the various interests of the fallen officials were too close, they would throw the rules and disciplines that communists should talk about and the discipline they should observe. Since the Eighteenth National Congress, the party's discipline building has been comprehensively strengthened, and the central authorities have formulated and revised more than 90 inner-party regulations, especially the "Guidelines for Honesty and Self-Discipline of the Communist Party of China" and "Several Guidelines on Political Life within the Party under the New Situation", revised the "Regulations on Disciplinary Punishment of the Communist Party of China" and the "Regulations on Supervision within the Party of the Communist Party of China", and realized the unity of governing the country according to law and governing the party according to law. Yuan Keli's downfall also fully shows that all cadres who touch the bottom line and red line will be severely punished by the law.

Just in June 2017, Yuan Keli also pointed out at a public event that it is necessary to "take the work of double creation as an important engine for promoting industrial transformation and upgrading, developing a new economy, and cultivating new momentum." The earnestness of the tone and the depth of the thinking are impressive. But it turns out that this is nothing more than a disguise for the "tiger" in its daily work. Such down-to-earth cadres with a calm appearance and exquisite appearance have added new difficulties to the anti-corruption work.

However, no amount of clever camouflage can change the essence of the "paper tiger" of the fallen cadres. Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the leadership of the Party Central Committee, the overwhelming trend of the anti-corruption struggle has taken shape, and the ability of the Party to purify, improve, renovate, and improve itself has been significantly enhanced. Yuan Keli's downfall once again proves that the results of the current anti-corruption work are remarkable and the effect is continuous.

Such incidents are not accidental. Between 2012 and 2017, more than 170,000 cases of mental problems violating the eight provisions of the central government were investigated and handled nationwide, more than 130,000 people were punished, and more than 100 cases of mental problems violating the eight central regulations were investigated and handled on average every day. Through the joint efforts of the whole party and the whole society, the main responsibility of the party's organizations at all levels in managing the party and governing the party has been significantly enhanced, the spirit of the eight provisions of the central authorities has been resolutely implemented, the party's discipline building has been comprehensively strengthened, and the momentum of the spread of corruption has been effectively curbed.

It is worth mentioning that after the news of Yuan Keli's fall came out, the attitude of public opinion was calm and indifferent. This reflects that the anti-corruption work is not only effective, but also has formed a long-term and normalized institutional mechanism. At the same time, the continuous downfall of high-ranking officials has also sounded the alarm bell for all party members and cadres: As cadres, we must not dare to be corrupt, cannot be corrupt, and do not want to be corrupt. Only in this way can we play iron and be hard. In order to create a clear political environment and reassure the broad masses of the people, we must always make unremitting efforts to grasp the relevant work.

Let power run in the sun, put power in the cage of the system. Yuan Keli's case tells us that the Skynet has been restored without leakage, and under the joint supervision of the party, the government, and the masses of the people, every "tiger" should not have any illusions. All that awaited them were the disdainful eyes of the common people and the cold shackles. (Special Commentator Li Qinyu)
