A few thoughts on distinguishing whether it is a matter of reciprocity or a violation of discipline and law: Public officials violating the spirit of the Central Eight point Regulations by accepting gifts in violation of regulations are the focus of disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies in enforcing discipline and must be strictly investigated and punished. In practice, a small number of party members and cadres use "reciprocity" as an excuse for receiving gifts, which causes certain difficulties in characterizing disciplinary and illegal behaviors. Whether it is reciprocity or suspected violation of discipline and law, the author believes that substantive judgment should be adhered to, which can be distinguished through the following three aspects. Take a look at the relationship between the giver and the recipient. Normal reciprocity often occurs between relatives and friends, but the existence of violations of discipline and law cannot be completely denied just because the relationship between the recipient and the gift giver is close. It is also not ruled out that "reciprocity" occurs between relatives and friends. The key is to examine the purpose for which the behavior of the recipient and gift giver is based. Through the act of receiving and giving gifts

After serving 30 years in prison, in 2020, due to insufficient evidence, their charges were revoked by the court.
