Pengpai News noticed that an article published earlier on the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission had named Wang Xingfu.
The article states that problems with the top leader often harm one party. The actions of local and unit leaders seriously affect the local political ecology. When leaders encounter problems, they often go from individual problems to collective and domain problems. For example, Wang Xingfu, former chairman of Qinghai Salt Lake Industrial Group, not only had a domineering style and acted recklessly without authorization, using his power to recklessly accumulate wealth, but also engaged in large-scale cliques and cliques within the enterprise, seriously damaging the political ecology of the enterprise. Between 2017 and 2020 alone, 87 people from Salt Lake Group were subject to disciplinary and administrative actions.
