After appearing in court for nearly three years, the "tiger" who was once notified nationwide by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection was sentenced to life.
On August 29th, the Intermediate People's Court of Hulunbuir City publicly sentenced Jiang Guowen, former Party Secretary and Chairman of the Harbin Municipal Association, to bribery. Jiang Guowen was sentenced to life imprisonment, deprived of political rights for life, and all personal property was confiscated on charges of bribery; The confiscated, sealed, and frozen bribery proceeds and their fruits of Jiang Guowen shall be recovered and turned over to the national treasury.

In January 2016, Jiang Guowen was appointed as the Chairman of the Harbin Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. He was investigated in September 2019.

However, the court also pointed out that after Jiang Guowen arrived at the case, he was able to voluntarily explain most of the bribery facts that the investigating authorities had not yet mastered, confess his guilt and repent, report others, which constituted a significant contribution, and all the stolen funds and goods have been recovered, which has a statutory and discretionary lenient punishment circumstance.
On March 27, 2020, Jiang Guowen was "double opened". He was accused of losing his faith and belief in the leadership of the Party and socialism with Chinese characteristics, being disloyal and dishonest to the Party, engaging in a two faced and two faced approach, and opposing organizational censorship; Violating the spirit of the central eight point regulations and illegally entering and exiting private clubs; Not reporting personal matters in accordance with regulations, and not truthfully explaining issues during organizational conversations and inquiries; Colluding with unscrupulous merchants, engaging in power money and power sex transactions, engaging in profit-making activities in violation of regulations, and accepting gifts; In the process of supervising and enforcing discipline, dereliction of duty, violation of discipline and law enforcement, turning public power into a tool for personal gain, seeking benefits for others in terms of job promotion, engineering contracting, enterprise operation, etc., and illegally accepting huge amounts of property, seriously damaging the image of disciplinary inspection and supervision organs and cadres, and seriously damaging the political ecology of the region where one works.
On November 12, 2020, the first trial of the bribery case involving Jiang Guowen was held. Jiang Guowen pleaded guilty and repented in court, and the court announced an adjournment and a scheduled verdict. The interval from the first instance hearing to the public verdict is nearly 3 years, which is not commonly seen among high-ranking officials who have been dismissed in the past.
After Jiang Guowen fell from grace, he was once regarded as a negative example and reported to the whole country by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has issued a special notice on the serious violations of discipline and law by Jiang Guowen and its lessons, and many parts of the country have carried out warning education on this issue, pointing out that Jiang Guowen has "no faith, political speculation", "face to face is a person, behind the scenes is a ghost", "fly to trap dogs, weave a net to bind oneself", "abuse of power and act recklessly, violate discipline", "breaking rules and practicing hidden rules" and other problems.
