On the evening of January 9, in the fourth episode of the series of anti-corruption TV feature films "Continue to Make Efforts and Promote in Depth" broadcast by CCTV at 8 o'clock in the evening, Du Zhaocai, former deputy director of the General Administration of Sports of China and former secretary of the Party Committee of the Chinese Football Association, Chen Xuyuan, former chairman of the Chinese Football Association, and Li Tie, the former head coach of the Chinese national men's football team, have "appeared" one after another. The broadcast of this film has caused huge repercussions inside and outside the football world, and it is actually another warning education for the entire industry about anti-corruption content. It is understood that as early as last weekend, after CCTV broadcast the trailer of the program, the Chinese Football Association issued a notice to internal employees to "learn and watch on time", and asked employees to submit no less than 1,500 words of after-viewing feelings before 3 pm on the 11th.
CCTV comprehensive channel broadcast the fourth episode of the TV feature film "Sustained Efforts and In-depth Advancement" at 8 p.m. on the 9th, "Promoting the "Three Non-Corruptions" as a Whole", through a series of corruption cases in the football field such as Du Zhaocai, former deputy director of the State General Administration of Sports and former party secretary of the Chinese Football Association, Chen Xuyuan, former chairman of the Chinese Football Association, and Li Tie, former head coach of the Chinese national men's football team, Fan Yifei, former member of the party committee and vice governor of the People's Bank of China, former member of the party group of the National Energy Investment Group, The case of Deputy General Manager Li Dong tells that our party has always fought corruption with the most thorough spirit of self-revolution, focused on key issues, key areas, and key objects, fought corruption and punished evil with a zero-tolerance attitude, and promoted the fight against corruption as a whole, and resolutely won the protracted battle against corruption. Among them, the series of corruption cases in the football field involving Du Zhaocai, Chen Xuyuan, and Li Tie have attracted widespread attention from all walks of life, especially in the sports and football worlds. The facts of their case are jaw-dropping, and the amount of money involved is staggering.
The content of the program shows that from the end of 2022, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission, together with the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Group of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China and the Hubei Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, will adopt the "room, group, and local" joint case-handling mechanism to thoroughly investigate a series of corruption cases in the football field and dig deep into the root causes of the problems behind them.
As early as last weekend, after the trailer of the program was broadcast, the Chinese Football Association received a notice of "learning to watch on time" program. In fact, since Li Tie, Chen Xuyuan, Du Zhaocai and a number of former key figures in football or the main leaders of the former Chinese Football Association were taken away for investigation by relevant departments on suspicion of serious violations of discipline and law, domestic football and even sports have started the industry rectification work around anti-corruption content since the first half of last year. Taking the Chinese Football Association as an example, after the working group officially entered the association in early April last year to preside over the work of the association, the association kicked off the prelude to the education rectification work for more than three months in late May.
Although the Chinese Football Association completed the new cycle in October last year, the leadership team of the association with Song Kai as the new chairman officially came to the forefront. However, as the final results of the investigation into the corruption case in the football field have not yet been announced, and whether the case involves more people in the industry, including the Football Association, has not yet been finally confirmed by official channels, so the internal organization of the association, especially the candidates for the heads of various departments, has not yet been confirmed. It can be said that while the Chinese Football Association has implemented specific business work, it has never relaxed the strings of anti-corruption education.
It is understood that employees of subsidiaries of the Chinese Football Association such as Fufubao Company or relevant internal units who received the notice to watch and study the anti-corruption feature film were also received. In addition, the Chinese coaches and working team members of the national football team who are preparing for the Asian Cup in Qatar, and the coaches and working team members of the team who are leading the Chinese U20 women's football team to prepare for the U20 Asian Cup in Kunming have also received notices to watch and learn this film. It is not difficult to judge from this that the Chinese Football Association will continue to pay unremitting attention to the issue of discipline rectification and anti-corruption in the future. Taking the case as a mirror, promoting reform with the case, purifying the mind, purifying the team, reforming the old and making the new, and cleaning up the source are also the specific requirements and goals put forward by the internal education and rectification work of the Chinese Football Association.
