Zhou Jiangyong, former secretary of the Hangzhou Municipal Party Committee, accepted bribes through his brother, and the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection: Family-style corruption deserves vigilance

Comprehensively and strictly administering the party is always on the road, and the anti-corruption struggle is always on the road. On the evening of 19 January, the fifth episode of the TV special film "Zero Tolerance, "Forever on the Road," was broadcast, and through analyzing the cases of Zhou Jiangyong, former member of the Standing Committee of the Zhejiang Provincial CPC Committee and former secretary of the Hangzhou Municipal CPC Committee, zhang Yujie, a grassroots public official in Chuzhou City, Anhui Province, who embezzled huge amounts of public funds, and Zhang Qi, former member of the Standing Committee of the Hainan Provincial CPC Committee and former secretary of the Haikou Municipal CPC Committee, and other typical cases, this not only shows our party's insistence on punishing corruption with a zero-tolerance attitude, but also warns us that we must not relax our grasp of the building of a sound party style and a clean administration and the anti-corruption struggle without slackening our grasp for a moment and persistently grasp it.

The three typical cases involved different levels, different ages, and different positions, showing a variety of characteristics, highlighting the long-term, complex and arduous nature of the anti-corruption struggle.

A small number of party members and cadres still did not restrain themselves after the Eighteenth and even nineteenth National Congresses of the Party. Zhou Jiangyong was a high-ranking cadre who grew up after the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, holding a top position in various positions, but he was slowly corrupted by power, and most of the money was accepted after the Eighteenth National Congress.

Some party members and cadres engage in power and money transactions and the transmission of benefits, and there is no distinction between pro-Qing and qing, and the phenomenon of collusion between government and businessmen is serious, and the means of corruption are renovated and the concealment is further upgraded. Zhou Jiangyong tried to set up a "firewall" to evade supervision, using central enterprises and state-owned enterprises as a cover when taking projects for illegal enterprises, and using his brother as a bridge when accepting bribes. Zhang Qi used his power to help others in land development, project contracting, project promotion and other matters, and when accepting money and goods, he tried to evade supervision through seemingly legal means and complicated tricks, and accepted bribes of more than 107 million yuan.

The phenomenon of "family corruption, family corruption" deserves vigilance. Zhou Jiangyong spared no effort to act as a patron for his brother's affiliated enterprises, while Zhou Jianyong peddled his brother's power to various bosses he met. Zhang Qi pulled his wife and son into the chain of power and money transactions, and his wife Qian Ling and Zhang Qi can be said to be typical of the front shop and the back factory.

Party members and cadres who violate discipline and the law are younger, and some young cadres have embarked on the "road of no return" of corruption, which has the characteristics of intertwining traditional corruption and new types of corruption. During his work in the Transaction Management Section of the Chuzhou Real Estate Registration Center, Zhang Yujie, a "post-95" cadre, successively embezzled more than 69 million yuan of public funds for the purchase of game equipment and high-end consumption by means of not recording the receipts and forging the facts of the collections.

We must soberly realize that the contest between corruption and anti-corruption is still raging, and has taken on some new stage characteristics; there is still a long way to go to prevent all kinds of interest groups from forming a posture and "hunting" and corroding; there is still a long way to go to effectively deal with the invisible mutation of corrupt means and to renovate and upgrade; it is still a long way to go to thoroughly eradicate the soil that breeds corruption and realize the cleansing of the Haiyan River; there is still a long way to go in cleaning up systemic corruption and defusing hidden risks.

The problem of corruption did not arise overnight, nor did it take a day to stir up turmoil and promote purity. As long as there are soil and conditions for the problem of corruption, the phenomenon of corruption will not be eradicated and the anti-corruption struggle will not stop. We must keep a sober mind, always blow the trumpet, and remember that anti-corruption is always on the road. We should maintain our political determination to fight corruption and continuously achieve the strategic goal of not daring to be corrupt, not being able to be corrupt, and not wanting to be corrupt.
