A day after Qin Guangrong was expelled from the party, the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee said it would eliminate "Qin Guangrong's poison."
According to the news of Yunnan Daily on 29 September, on 28 September, the Standing Committee of the Yunnan Provincial CPC Committee held a meeting to convey and study the decision of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Discipline Inspection Commission approved by the CPC Central Committee on handling Qin Guangrong, vice chairman of the Former Internal and Judicial Affairs Committee of the National People's Congress and former secretary of the Yunnan Provincial CPC Committee, on serious violations of discipline and the law.
On May 9 this year, Qin Guangrong voluntarily surrendered, and on September 26, the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection announced that Qin Guangrong had been expelled from the party.
Before he was expelled from the party, Qin Ling, the son of Qin Guangrong, had been prosecuted, and Qin Guangrong's "old subordinate" Xiang Lili was also decided to arrest.
<h1>The first mention is to eliminate the "poison of Qin Guangrong"</h1>
According to Yunnan Daily, the meeting held on September 28 was presided over by Chen Hao, secretary of the provincial party committee.
The meeting stated:
It is necessary to persist in building the party for the public good, ruling for the people, adhering to the spiritual homeland of communists, persisting in cultivating oneself with a correct heart, exercising self-discipline and maintaining one's own family, and being honest and honest as an official, consciously resisting the erosion of unhealthy tendencies, and always maintaining a clean and honest political character.
It is necessary to regard resolutely eradicating the influence of Bai Enpei, Qiu Heyu, and Qin Guangrong as an important political task at present and for some time to come in deepening the comprehensive and strict management of the party and repairing and purifying Yunnan's political ecology, carry out warning education throughout the province, persistently use cases to promote reform, treat both the symptoms and the root causes, draw inferences from each other, and clean up the source, resolutely eradicate the sources of political ecological pollution, and build a political ecology with a clean and healthy atmosphere.
Two details.
First, in the impression of Zheng Zhijun, this is the first time that the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee has proposed to eliminate the "poison of Qin Guangrong."
After Qin Guangrong voluntarily surrendered, the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee held an enlarged meeting, but did not characterize it as "poisoning." The meeting mentioned that "taking the negative examples of Bai Enpei, Qin Guangrong, and Qiu He as mirrors, we should profoundly draw lessons and thoroughly eliminate their bad influence."
On September 26, Qin Guangrong was expelled from the party. The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection directly chen, Qin Guangrong "caused serious damage to the political ecology of the area where he worked, and caused serious harm to the party's cause and image."
Second, Bai Enpei, who was mentioned at the same time as Qin Guangrong, has been down for 5 years, and Qiu He has also been down for 4 years.
Bai Enpei served as secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee in October 2001. In August 2011, the 65-year-old Bai Enpei stepped down as secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee and went to Beijing to serve in the National People's Congress. In August 2014, Bai Enpei was investigated.
Bai Enpei, who amassed more than 240 million yuan, was also the first person to be imprisoned for life.
In October 2016, Bai Enpei was sentenced to a suspended death sentence for accepting bribes and having a large amount of assets of unknown origin. After the two-year period of suspension of execution of the death penalty has expired and the sentence is commuted to life imprisonment in accordance with law, the sentence shall not be commuted or released on parole.
Less than a year after Bai Enpei was investigated, on March 15, 2015, Qiu He, deputy secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee, who had just finished the two sessions, was taken away. In December 2016, Qiu He was sentenced to 14 and a half years in prison, and the court found that he had amassed 24.3398 million yuan.
After that, the Yunnan side repeatedly mentioned the need to "eliminate Bai Enpei, Qiu and Residual Poison."
Just from February to April 2017, the 11th Inspection Group of the Central Committee conducted a "review" of Yunnan Province. The inspection group reported that the implementation of political discipline and political rules was not strict, the elimination of Bai Enpei, Qiu He, and other "residual poisons" was not thorough, the relationship between government and business was unclear, and the political ecology was destroyed.
<h1>Qin Guangrong, who voluntarily surrendered, was not given a lenient punishment</h1>
Qin Guangrong was also the secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee.
According to public information, from January 1999 to October 2014, Qin Guangrong worked in Yunnan for 15 years, successively serving as the secretary of the political and legal committee of the provincial party committee, the director of the organization department of the provincial party committee, the executive vice governor, etc., and was promoted to governor in January 2007 and secretary of the provincial party committee in August 2011.
After leaving Yunnan, Qin Guangrong went to work at the National People's Congress. In May 2019, Qin Guangrong, who had been away from his post at the National People's Congress for more than a year, voluntarily surrendered.
According to China News Weekly, shortly after his son Qin Ling's series of cases involving China and taking advantage of Lai Xiaomin's cases were controlled, Qin Guangrong, under pressure, voluntarily surrendered on the same day with his wife Huang Yulan, and he also became "the first person to voluntarily surrender at the ministerial level."
A number of people in the political and business circles in Hunan and Yunnan told China News Weekly that the accident of his son was the last straw that completely crushed Qin Guangrong's psychological defense line.
There have been multiple clues to events pointing to him, and under pressure, he has "no choice".
Zheng Zhijun noted that according to the Party Disciplinary Punishment Regulations and the Supervision Law, voluntary surrender can be lenient. However, in this circular, there is no mention of "lenient or mitigated punishment" or "a recommendation for a mitigated punishment" for him.
In this regard, the official website of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said that the measurement of discipline and punishment must be in accordance with the rules and disciplines and the law, and no one will be wronged or wronged.
<h1>The old subordinate was arrested and the son was prosecuted</h1>
Before Qin Guangrong was expelled from the party, his son Qin Ling was prosecuted, and his "old subordinate" Xiang Lili was also decided to arrest.
On May 17, 2019, Xiang Lili, deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Hunan Provincial People's Congress, was investigated as Qin Guangrong's "old subordinate." According to his resume, Qin Guangrong performed his duties in Hunan for a long time before he went to Yunnan in January 1999, and became a member of the Standing Committee of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee and the secretary of the Changsha Municipal Party Committee.
"Integrity Watch" also disclosed the details of Xiang Lili's investigation -
On the morning of May 17, Xiang Lili, then deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Hunan Provincial People's Congress, walked into Building 10 of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee Compound. Previously, he had received a notice to attend the enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee on the same day.
When Xiang Lili entered the building for ten minutes, the staff of the provincial party committee compound saw him walk out, followed by several serious-looking "relevant personnel". On the morning of the same day, the news spread: Xiang Lili was taken away by the staff of the Central Discipline Inspection Commission and the State Supervision Commission. Almost at the same time, Mrs. Xiang Lili, who was a departmental-level cadre in the Hunan Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, was controlled.
On September 23 this year, the Supreme People's Procuratorate announced that Xiang Lili's suspected bribery case would be investigated by the State Supervision Commission and transferred to the procuratorate for review and prosecution. The Supreme People's Procuratorate made an arrest decision against Xiang Lili on suspicion of accepting bribes in accordance with law.
According to the "Honest Government Outlook", the "friendship" between the Qin Guangrong and Xiangli families also extended to the next generation.
Qin Ling, the son of Qin Guangrong, and Xiang Lili's son, both served in Huarong and were implicated in the lai Xiaomin case.
According to a Changsha business source, Qin Ling and his guide had many contacts with the Hunan business community during their stay in Huarong, and to put it bluntly, they also used their father's influence to do business for profit.
Before Xiang Lili's decision to arrest, on August 7, the Supreme People's Procuratorate announced that Qin Ling, the former chairman of Huarong Investment Co., Ltd., had been prosecuted by the First Branch of the Tianjin Municipal People's Procuratorate against the Tianjin No. 1 Intermediate People's Court in accordance with the law.
As for what will happen to Qin Guangrong, we may as well wait for the answer of the judicial organs.
