On April 21, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission published a report entitled "Disciplinary Requirements from Case Reports". Resolutely rectify the work of the people and the people and the loss of money to engage in the performance project".
The article pointed out that Chen Jiadong, former director of the Standing Committee of the Xiamen Municipal People's Congress in Fujian Province, spent 211 million yuan to build six antique post stations without investigation and demonstration in order to make political achievements early and quickly show his achievements.
Political and intellectual circles noted that the Third Plenary Session of the 20 th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection held in January this year pointed out that it is necessary to pay close attention to the distorted view of power and the misplaced view of political performance, and strive to rectify the problems of rushing for quick success and quick profit, fishing for all the money, engaging in political performance projects at the expense of the people and money, and falsifying data.
caused a loss of 190 million yuan in state-owned property
According to the public resume, Chen Jiadong was born in August 1959 and is a native of Changle, Fujian.
He has served in Fujian for many years, successively serving as Deputy Secretary of the Ningde Municipal Party Committee (department level), Secretary of the Fu'an Municipal Party Committee, Deputy Secretary and Mayor of the Ningde Municipal Party Committee, Director of the Fujian Provincial Forestry Department, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group, etc., and Secretary of the Zhangzhou Municipal Party Committee.
In December 2016, he served as Secretary of the Party Leadership Group of the Standing Committee of the Xiamen Municipal People's Congress, and in January of the following year, he was elected Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Xiamen Municipal People's Congress.
In February 2022, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission announced that Chen Jiadong was suspected of serious violations of discipline and law and was subject to review and investigation.
After the trial, it was ascertained that from 2000 to 2022, Chen Jiadong took advantage of the convenience of his position and the convenience of his authority or status to provide assistance to relevant units and individuals in matters such as forest land approval and project contracting, and illegally accepted property totaling more than 94.15 million yuan.
From 2013 to 2014, while serving as secretary of the Zhangzhou Municipal Party Committee, Chen Jiadong also engaged in favoritism, abused his power, and illegally overpaid the developer for the project, causing a loss of more than 190 million yuan in state-owned property.
From 2015 to 2017, Chen Jiadong took advantage of his position as secretary of the Zhangzhou Municipal Party Committee to jointly embezzle more than 3.41 million yuan of state-owned property with others.

The political performance project of the fallen "tiger".
In January this year, Chen Jiadong appeared in the third episode of the annual anti-corruption blockbuster "Continue to Promote in Depth", "Strengthening Positive Practices and Discipline".
It is disclosed in the film that after he arrived as secretary of the Zhangzhou Municipal Party Committee, he launched a number of engineering projects, the purpose of which was to make political achievements early and quickly.
Soon after arriving in Zhangzhou, in order to be greedy for foreign and attract attention, Chen Jiadong changed the local planned theater into an opera house without in-depth research and feasibility demonstration. The preliminary design alone cost more than 27 million yuan, and the contract price of the main project reached more than 200 million yuan.
Soon after Chen Jiadong was transferred from Zhangzhou, the opera house project came to a standstill, and eventually became a "half-pulled project", and the expenses that had been invested were never returned. Today, the site of the project has become two large ponds, and only the pile foundations that emerge from the water are left.
During his tenure in Zhangzhou, Chen Jiadong also proposed to build a demonstration section of the "Southern Fujian Ecological and Cultural Corridor", copy the ancient houses in Zhangzhou according to the ratio of one to one, and build 6 post stations, the largest of which covers an area of more than 60,000 square meters and costs a total of 211 million yuan.
At that time, the Flower Expo was about to open in Zhangzhou. Chen Jiadong hopes that the project can be built before the opening, so as to attract the attention of the leadership.
When choosing a site, Chen Jiadong also specially brought a feng shui master to see feng shui and adjust the direction.
However, when the post station was completed and put into operation, various problems became apparent. These stations are replicas of famous local houses, and tourists will not choose to see the replicas. And the six post stations are scattered along the 25-kilometer-long national highway, which cannot form a convergence effect.
A local state-owned enterprise was entrusted by the government to manage the tourism industry. finally recruited a few merchants, and soon they all quit the lease. As a result, most of the post stations have been abandoned for a long time. The management personnel, security personnel and daily greening management, repair and maintenance, water and electricity bills and other expenses of the post station spend nearly 3 million yuan every year.
Aggravating or aggravating sanctions
With regard to Chen Jiadong's "political achievements," the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission clearly pointed out in the article that some leading cadres are obsessed with "putting on a show" rather than "doing things" and are keen on "building momentum for a while" rather than "benefiting one party."
For some time now, discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels have been continuously and deeply promoting the rectification of outstanding problems of formalism and bureaucracy such as "image projects" and "performance projects."
For example, the Yunnan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision has carried out special rectification of outstanding problems such as the arbitrary use of power and disorderly acts, and has reported on typical problems such as carrying out "image projects" and increasing the financial burden of townships and towns. The Xiangtan Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of Hunan Province has promoted the special rectification of the "half-pull project", "image project" and "face project", and held special training around the theme of "establishing and practicing a correct view of political performance", and deepened the education of the concept of political performance.
There are also quite a few bulletins.
For example:
- In January, Li Maorong, a former member of the party group and deputy mayor of Shangrao Municipal Government in Jiangxi Province, was double-opened for serious violations of discipline and law.
- The circular pointed out that he has turned a deaf ear to the spirit of the eight central regulations, distorted his outlook on political achievements, and engaged in "image projects" and "performance projects" that cost the people and money.
- In March, Chen Daiwen, a former deputy director-level cadre of the Standing Committee of the Tongren City People's Congress in Guizhou Province, was expelled from the party for serious violations of discipline and law.
- The circular pointed out that he violated the new development concept and engaged in "image projects" and "performance projects" that cost the people and money.
The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission pointed out in the latest article released on April 21 that the "image project" and "performance project" are carried out against the will of the masses and blindly pursue political achievements, reflecting the distorted view of power and the misplaced view of political performance of some party members and cadres.
It is worth noting that the newly revised Regulations on Disciplinary Actions of the Communist Party of China add a new requirement for Party organizations and Party members to "earnestly practice the correct view of power, political performance, and career" in the General Provisions.
Article 57 has also been added to the sub-provisions, which readjusts the conduct of engaging in "image projects" and "performance projects" that work hard for the people and hurt money from violating mass discipline to violating political discipline, and stipulates that the punishment will be heavier or aggravated.
