The CCTV Comprehensive Channel of the Central Radio and Television Corporation broadcast the fifth episode of the TV special "Zero Tolerance" "Forever on the Road" on the 19th.
In March 2020, the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection announced that Zhang Qi, former member of the Standing Committee of the Hainan Provincial Party Committee and former secretary of the Haikou Municipal Party Committee, had seriously violated many of the party's disciplines, constituting a serious violation of official duties and suspected of accepting bribes, and had been expelled from the party and punished with public office, and transferred to the judicial organs. In December 2020, the court sentenced Zhang Qi to life imprisonment. After investigation, he used his authority to help others in land development, project contracting, project promotion and other matters, and accepted bribes of more than 107 million yuan. When Zhang Qi accepted the money, he tried to evade supervision through seemingly legal means and complicated tricks.
Zhang Qi, former member of the Standing Committee of the Hainan Provincial CPC Committee and former secretary of the Haikou Municipal CPC Committee: I regret it very much, and I don't think we can take any chances on these issues. I myself did not expect that I would end up in such a situation.
"Elaborate" design in a vain attempt to circumvent regulation
After the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Zhang Qi knew the resolute attitude of the central government to fight corruption, but he could not restrain the desire to cash out power, and tried to evade supervision through "careful" design.
In terms of power and money trading objects, Zhang Qi specially screens bosses whose enterprises are not too large and have been in contact with him for a long time, believing that this can reduce risks.
In terms of power and money transactions, of the more than 100 million yuan that Zhang Qi accepted bribes, he directly accepted less than 2 million yuan, and the rest were received through his wife and son, and he used "business investment" as a pretext. After the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the central authorities explicitly prohibited the spouses, children, and spouses of leading cadres from doing business and running enterprises within their jurisdiction.
In terms of the specific means of power and money transactions, Zhang Qi uses a variety of seemingly legal shells to package. When he was the secretary of the Sanya Municipal Party Committee, he launched a landscape improvement project on a main road, which was a project with a target of hundreds of millions of yuan, and Zhang Hailin, chairman of the winning enterprise, was a related household with Zhang Qi who had interests. On the one hand, Zhang Qi let his wife accept tens of millions of yuan in bribes from Zhang Hailin's enterprise under the packaging of seemingly legal economic behaviors such as "stock speculation" and "financial management"; on the other hand, he used superficially compliant bidding procedures to cover up the essence of the projects approved by Zhang Hailin.
In addition to his wife, Zhang Qi also pulled his son Zhang Yan into the power and money transaction. Zhang Yan studied in Canada in his early years. In 2012, Zhang Qi went abroad to attend his son's college graduation ceremony and let his son accept for the first time a "living expense" from a boss who accompanied him.
After Zhang Yan returned to China and proposed to do business, Zhang Qi introduced various bosses to him, and once again "borrowed" from the boss to give his son as capital. Luo Haiqiang, the actual controller of Hainan Jianfeng Tourism Development Company, "lent" Zhang Yan 30 million yuan.
Zhang Yan soon became accustomed to relying on his father for nothing, and also began to take the initiative to ask the boss. He traveled back and forth between China and Canada, living a life of luxury and pleasure.
Liu Lifeng, a staff member of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission: His son also learned from him, during his life in Canada, he asked his boss for money, asked for hundreds of thousands of Canadian dollars to buy a luxury car, and within a few days this car crashed, and then went to ask others for more than 100,000 Canadian dollars to repair the car.
Deep interest bundling forms a "co-corruption circle"
Adversarial organization investigations
Zhang Qi and some bosses have formed a deep interest bundle relationship for a long time, forming a "co-corruption circle". He is not eager to cash in all the benefits of the moment, but carefully laid out the long-term plan for his retirement life and even for his next generation.
Liu Lifeng, an organ worker of the Central Discipline Inspection Commission and the State Supervision Commission: Zhang Qi also used this power in his hands to seek the status of deputies to the people's congress and members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference for the second generation (of the boss). In fact, it paves the way for his son's future development, and better closes the relationship between his son and these bosses and the second generation of the boss. His aim was to continue the transmission of power and wealth between the two generations.
The law of the community of interests has always been that one wins and one loses. In 2019, a boss who was close to Zhang Qi was retained. Zhang Qi had a premonition that he might pull himself out and began to find ways to resist the organization's investigation.
Liu Lifeng, a staff member of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission: After he learned of the situation, he arranged for his son and daughter-in-law to flee to Canada the next day, and also tried to cut off the relationship between him and Qian Ling, that is, to protect himself, to contact a number of private business owners who had improper economic contacts with him, and to ask these people to leave the country to take refuge.
The fleeing boss recognizes the situation
Take the initiative to return to China to cooperate with the investigation
In September 2019, Zhang Qi was filed for review and investigation and taken into custody. Because of the huge amount of money involved in his son's case, China issued a red notice to the world, and Zhang Qi deeply regretted it.
Zhang Qi, former member of the Standing Committee of the Hainan Provincial CPC Committee and former secretary of the Haikou Municipal CPC Committee: I particularly regret this incident, and I also hope to tell my son that he is still young, he should not give up on himself, and he can return to China as soon as possible to surrender himself.
Ma Wei, a staff member of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission: In the later stages, he actually regretted letting his son escape, and he hoped that he would be able to persuade his son to come back during the period when he was under review. He sent dozens of WeChat messages to his son, but his son never returned, and he felt sad.
Zhang Yan has been hiding in Tibet overseas with a red notice on his back, but many bosses who fled at the behest of Zhang Qi quickly recognized the situation and took the initiative to return to China to cooperate with the investigation.
Zhang Qi, former member of the Standing Committee of the Hainan Provincial CPC Committee and former secretary of the Haikou Municipal CPC Committee: I ruined this family, which was originally a family of four generations of the same family, old and young, and is now in tatters. Not only can I not be loyal to the country now, but I have become a sinner of the country, and I cannot fulfill my filial piety.
