In order to deepen the rectification of poor grassroots governance in theme education, further enforce disciplinary requirements, and strengthen warning and deterrence, the Shanghai Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision recently reported four typical problems that have been investigated and dealt with since the launch of theme education.
1. Zhang Ying, the property administrator of Jinshan District Shanghai Jingong Property Management Co., Ltd., is embezzling the company's huge rental income. From January 2019 to November 2022, during her tenure as a property administrator at Shanghai Jingong Property Management Company, Zhang Ying took advantage of her position and embezzled over 1.5 million yuan in rental income by concealing the fact that she had signed employee apartment rental contracts with relevant companies, with the aim of illegal possession. In June 2023, Zhang Ying was expelled from the Party and dismissed from government affairs. The amount involved in the case has been refunded, and her suspected criminal issues have been transferred to judicial authorities for legal processing.
2. The issue of Liu Xiubin, former director of the Community Affairs Acceptance Service Center in Daqiao Street, Yangpu District, defrauding financial subsidies. From March 2014 to September 2018, Liu Xiubin, while serving as a clerk and deputy director of the Community Affairs Acceptance Service Center in Daqiao Street, Yangpu District, collaborated with other staff to establish three shell enterprises and used his position to deceive national start-up enterprise subsidies of over 350000 yuan. Liu Xiubin also has other disciplinary and illegal issues. In July 2023, Liu Xiubin was expelled from the Party and public office, and his illegal gains were recovered. His suspected criminal issues were transferred to judicial authorities for legal processing.
3. Shanghai United Property Exchange accepts the issue of business director Xiang Renqing obtaining huge benefits in the name of consulting fees and handling fees from the Audit Department. From December 2010 to February 2023, while working at the Shanghai United Property Rights Exchange, Xiang Renqing violated national laws and regulations as well as relevant regulations of the unit. He used his powers such as consultation reception, project promotion, and project review to recommend Shanghai Enterprise Management Consulting Co., Ltd., which he actually controlled and operated, to the project company as his member brokerage agency. He collected transaction fees, consulting fees, and other fees paid by both parties, earning a profit of over 21.39 million yuan. Meanwhile, Xiang Renqing took advantage of his position to accept bribes of 144700 yuan from others. In June 2023, Xiang Renqing was dismissed from public office and his suspected criminal issues were transferred to judicial authorities for legal processing.
4. Cao Ting, former deputy mayor of Jianshe Town in Chongming District, accepts entertainment activities that may affect the fair execution of official duties. In the first half of 2020, during his official career, Cao Ting was invited by his management service partner to sing and consume at a certain entertainment club in Chongming. The cost was paid by the management service partner, with an average consumption of 200 yuan per person. Cao Ting also has other disciplinary and illegal issues. In June 2023, Cao Ting was expelled from the Party, dismissed from his position, demoted to a second level clerk, and his illegal gains were confiscated.
The Shanghai Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision pointed out that among the four issues mentioned above, some "petty officials are extremely greedy" and embezzle huge rental income through covert means; Some use their power for personal gain and deceive the government into providing financial subsidies; Some corrupt behaviors are being renovated in various ways, obtaining huge profits in the name of consulting fees and handling fees; Some grassroots cadres have an untrue work style and illegally accept entertainment activities arranged by management service recipients, which is a typical problem related to cadre work style construction, violation of the spirit of the central eight point regulations, new types of corruption, implicit corruption, and grassroots "micro corruption". It reflects the negative phenomena in grassroots governance in some regions and units, seriously damaging the image of the Party and the government, and must be seriously investigated and dealt with. All party members and cadres in the city should deeply learn from their lessons, take them as a warning, remember the "three musts", have the courage to take on responsibilities, and play a good exemplary role.
The Shanghai Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision stated that the first batch of theme education is about to end, and the second batch of theme education is about to be launched.Discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels should strengthen supervision, discipline enforcement, and law enforcement, closely monitor the implementation of discounts and flexibility, contact and serve the masses to perfunctorily deal with, shift blame and evade responsibility, fulfill their duties without taking responsibility, and increase the burden on grassroots. They should also focus on formalism and bureaucracy, and pay close attention to problems such as illegal eating and drinking, illegal receipt of gifts and gifts, and extravagance. They should also closely monitor new types of corruption, hidden corruption, and grassroots "micro corruption", and achieve the detection and punishment of cases together. They should increase the publicity and exposure of typical cases. We should adhere to the principle of strict management, love, encouragement and restraint, educate and guide Party members and cadres to practice the correct view of political achievements, foster the new concept of development, strictly implement the "three distinctions", build a new type of political and business relations that are pro clear and unified, create a good atmosphere of doing things well and taking responsibility, and provide strong guarantee for accelerating the construction of a modern socialist international metropolis with world influence and writing a new chapter in Chinese path to modernization.
