At a press conference held by the Information Office of the State Council on Monday, Sun Qian, deputy procurator general of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, said in response to a question from a Reporter from Wen Wei Po in Hong Kong: "Since 2013, the number of corruption cases above the vice minister has increased significantly, and the number of corruption and bribery cases above the vice minister investigated and handled in 2013 was 8, which became 28 in 2014, and 26 in January-August this year, in fact, the number of corruption cases above the deputy minister was not counted in September." Two deputy cadres were investigated today, and tomorrow's news and newspapers can be seen. He then revealed that one of the "two deputy cadres" was Xiao Tian.
Two days later, the website of the Supervision Department of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection announced that Xiao Tian, former deputy director of the State General Administration of Sport and a member of the party group, had been expelled from the party for serious violations of discipline.
There are five types of intra-party disciplinary punishments, from the lightest to the most serious: warnings, severe warnings, revocation of party posts, probation in the party, and expulsion from the party. If a Party member is expelled from the Party, he or she may not rejoin the Party for five years. Where there are other provisions prohibiting re-entry into the Party, follow those provisions.
According to the website of the Supervision Department of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, Xiao Tian was involved in a number of serious violations of discipline and law, several of which were rumored in the media. For example, "seriously violated organizational and personnel discipline, arranged his wife's work in violation of the law and promoted him to a post"; for example, "seriously violated the spirit of the eight provisions of the central government, accepted banquets at public expense many times, and went in and out of private clubs, accepted arrangements from private business owners to play golf", and "took advantage of his position to seek benefits for others and accepted property in the selection and appointment of cadres, the examination and approval of events, and the operation of the sports industry."
Among xiao Tian's previous positions were president of the Chinese Equestrian Association. Shen Lihong, vice chairman of the China Equestrian Association, was taken away for investigation in May this year, and Xiao Tian was subsequently investigated, including his second wife, Tian Hua, who is now the deputy director of the Equestrian Department of the Self-Sword Center.
The following quote is a July 16 report by Borderless News.
Tian Hua was more than ten years younger than Xiao Tian and was Xiao Tian's second wife. After being transferred to the State General Administration of Sport, she first served as the director and manager of China Horse International Equestrian Sports Development (Beijing) Co., Ltd. Founded in July 2013, the company is affiliated to the Self-Sword Center of the State General Administration of Sport, mainly engaged in equestrian event operations, horse culture dissemination and other businesses. In the first half of last year, the Zijian Center held an open competition, and Tian Hua served as the deputy director of the equestrian department and the deputy director of the level of the Zijian Center. "Her coming to the equestrian department is not something we can decide, but the leadership team collectively decides." For Tian Hua's personal ability, one of her colleagues in the equestrian department wanted to stop talking, "Tian Hua does not understand equestrianism, the comprehensive quality outside the professional field is OK, and she is usually responsible for some coordination work, such as organizing training, arranging meetings and so on." ” Due to Xiao Tian's existence, Tian Hua's position in the center of self-sword was not low. She previously owned an office of more than 20 square meters on the first floor of the Zijian Center office building. "Although she is the deputy of the equestrian department, the office area is five or six square meters more than the head of the equestrian department." Her colleagues said that it was not until March or April this year that the Zijian Center integrated office resources and Tian Hua moved to Room 209 on the second floor to share an office with others. According to the "Sports Weekly" report, because equestrianism is still an unpopular project in China, if you want to develop it, you need to use the strength of enterprises, Shen Lihong also wants to make a name in the equestrian circle, and there may be some gray areas in the approval of some events, and she will find opportunities to invite Xiao Tian and Tian Hua to attend the opening ceremonies of some events, etc., suspected of transporting benefits in the name of labor fees, with an amount of hundreds of thousands of yuan. A relevant person from the equestrian department of the Self-Sword Center told Wujie News: "As far as I know personally, when the equestrian department operates various equestrian competitions, including corporate sponsorship and other contracts have been reviewed and approved by professional lawyers, there are no judicial issues such as the transmission of benefits. At the same time, he said, "I don't know anything other than the contract." ”
It is not surprising that Xiao Tian loves to play golf, and he has participated in golf-related activities many times.
On March 8, 2011, Xiao Tian attended the first "Nanshan • China Masters" press conference at the State General Administration of Sport. On the 18th of that month, he appeared at the Beijing National Convention Center to attend the 2011 China Golf Expo, and the next day he delivered a speech at the 2011 Haikou Golf and Tourism Theme Forum, saying that China is moving from a sports power to a sports power, with golf becoming an Olympic event, golf is gradually deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the sport is in a new stage of historical development. There was also a tiger who had fallen from power, that is, Zhang Jiwenlin, who was then in Haikou City.

3 golf activities in 10 days may illustrate some of the problems.
After Xiao Tian's fall, coinciding with the eve of Beijing's bid for the Winter Olympics, there was a voice in the outside world that this had a great impact on Beijing's bid for the Winter Olympics. Xiao Tian has been in charge of winter sports for many years, and during his tenure, he has achieved a breakthrough of zero gold medals in the Chinese Winter Olympic Games, and according to some data, he also served as the vice chairman of the Beijing Winter Olympic Bidding Committee at that time. But now on the official website of the Beijing Winter Olympic Bidding Committee, his name has disappeared.
In fact, during that period, many foreign media reporters were indeed very interested in this, in response to the "Xiao Tian was investigated", Wang Hui, director of the Information and Propaganda Department of the Beijing Winter Olympic Bidding Committee, said that the investigation of high-level officials in the sports circles will just make Chinese sports more pure; "pure ice and snow, passionate dating" is the slogan of Beijing's bid for the Winter Olympics, and "purity" means that Beijing's bid for the Winter Olympics is pursued by incorruptibility. In the final vote on July 31, Beijing narrowly defeated Almaty 44-40 to win the right to host the 2022 Winter Olympics.
In today's circular, the Supervision Department of the Central Discipline Inspection Commission commented on Xiao Tian: "As a senior leading cadre of the party, Xiao Tian has lost his ideals and convictions, seriously violated discipline, and has not relented or relented after the Eighteenth National Congress of the Party. Among them, "serious violations of discipline" and "after the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, they still did not restrain and did not rein in their hands, and the nature was bad and the circumstances were serious" seemed to have become standard, but "loss of ideals and convictions" was indeed the first time.
