The latest issue of China Discipline Inspection and Supervision magazine published an article titled "The" Cat's tricks "in agricultural development projects, analyzing the bribery case of Zhao Hongzhi, former Party branch secretary and director of the Agricultural Development Comprehensive Office in Siping City, Jilin Province.
The article shows that an illiterate business owner went to attend lectures related to traditional culture, such as "The Classic of Filial Piety," in order to please Zhao Hongzhi, who likes traditional culture. He then shared the content he learned on the spot with Zhao Hongzhi.
Shangguanhe noticed that there are still many cases of besieging officials who have racked their brains to cater to their preferences.
Trapped by the "besiegers"
According to the open resume, Zhao Hongzhi, male, Han nationality, born in Shuangliao, Jilin Province in February 1962, who was investigated on March 4, 2021, started working in July 1987 and joined the CPC in May 1990, with a college degree. Zhao Hongzhi, who has been serving in Siping for a long time, once served as the Secretary of the Party Branch of the Agricultural Comprehensive Development Office in Siping City; Director and Secretary of the Party Branch of the Agricultural Comprehensive Development Office in Siping City, and member of the Party Group of the Finance Bureau in Siping City; Secretary and Director of the Party Branch of the Agricultural Comprehensive Development Office in Siping City.
On September 3 of the same year, Zhao Hongzhi was "double opened". Zhao Hongzhi was accused of violating the spirit of the Central Eight point Regulations by accepting gifts that may affect the fair execution of official duties; Violating organizational discipline, concealing or failing to report significant personal matters; Taking advantage of one's position to seek benefits for others and illegally accepting gifts from others is suspected of bribery.
On January 17th last year, the Discipline Inspection Commission and Supervision Commission of Siping City publicly exposed 7 typical cases of violating the spirit of the central eight point regulations. This includes the issue of Zhao Hongzhi receiving gifts in violation of regulations. According to the report, Zhao Hongzhi received 18 bottles of Baijiu from the management service object during the Spring Festival every year from 2016 to 2018.
According to the investigation results of the Discipline Inspection Commission and Supervision Commission of Siping City, from 2015 to 2020, Zhao Hongzhi provided assistance to 9 enterprises in contracting related construction projects and received a total of 2.22 million yuan from others. On November 19, 2021, Zhao Hongzhi was sentenced to three years and six months in prison and fined RMB 200000 for the crime of bribery.
According to a report by China Discipline Inspection and Supervision, the Agricultural Comprehensive Development Office of Siping City is an important department that supports and protects local agricultural development and solves the "three rural" problems. The most important responsibility is to be responsible for the initiation, construction, completion acceptance, and payment of engineering funds for high standard farmland projects in the city. Zhao Hongzhi's change also began from taking over this work. The investigators explained that although Zhao Hongzhi was very clear in his heart that "the more oily the place, the easier it is to slip", he quickly had the idea of "finally getting through" after serving as the "head" of the Agricultural Development Office in Siping City, at the age of 53. He changed his usual simple style and was often invited to participate in some dinners, receiving gifts and cash from project owners.
Among them, the business owner Ma also took advantage of Zhao Hongzhi's preference for traditional culture and created multiple opportunities to approach him, paving the way and building bridges for the engineering projects he participated in. After learning that Zhao Hongzhi likes traditional culture, Ma, who is almost illiterate, went to attend lectures related to traditional culture such as the Classic of Filial Piety, and then shared the content he learned on the spot with Zhao Hongzhi. Gradually, Zhao Hongzhi fell into the trap set by the "besiegers", believing that Ma was his "confidant" and "iron friend". After the relationship between the two gradually became closer, Ma used the excuse that Zhao Hongzhi was not in good health to repeatedly give health supplements and requested a request. Zhao Hongzhi also "tried his best to help" this "kind-hearted person. From 2015 to 2017, he provided assistance to Ma in the disbursement of funds for high standard farmland construction projects, receiving a total of 1 million yuan from him.
Throughout Zhao Hongzhi's history of violating discipline and law, he has just gained some power. Not only has he broken through the bottom line of discipline and law in his interactions with business owners, but the daily management work of the unit has also been driven by his nature, almost losing its principles. The investigators explained that the Municipal Agricultural Development Office was already understaffed and had a heavy workload, but he still casually approved the leave requests of the unit's employees, and even refused to ask for leave for six months due to illness. High standard farmland construction projects have a large amount of funds and high financial supervision requirements. Zhao Hongzhi not only failed to strengthen financial management, but also hired temporary workers multiple times to handle the situation. The result of doing so is loose and disorderly personnel management, with Zhao Hongzhi being the only one who knows the background of most project projects, which further exacerbates the "hunting" of business owners around him.
The deputy governor likes to eat fish, and some people rack their brains to search for fish farms of all sizes
Shangguanhe noticed that illegal merchants racked their brains to cater to their interests, and there were also many cases of besieging officials.
Previously, the "Clean Sichuan" WeChat official account disclosed the details of the case involving Zhou Xiaojun, the former member of the Party Working Committee and deputy director of the office of Guaziping Street, East District, Panzhihua City. The article shows that with the promotion of her position, Zhou Xiaojun's social circle has gradually changed. The business owners around her have started to approach her intentionally or unintentionally, and she not only has no defense against these "ulterior motives" people, but also envies them for earning a lot of money. In the midst of extravagance and extravagance, Zhou Xiaojun quickly decayed and deteriorated. Not only has she become accustomed to accepting banquets, but her food and clothing have also become luxurious. She has many luxury brand handbags such as Prada and Dior, and often chooses relatively high-end restaurants when dining out. When treating guests and giving gifts, it is important to be "ostentatious", and when drinking, she only drinks famous wines such as Maotai. In 2016, Zhou Xiaojun accepted a 5-day trip to Vietnam arranged by his management service partner Chen on the grounds of experiencing exotic cultures. During the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, Zhou Xiaojun hoped to go to Russia to watch a game played by a certain star player. Chen once again carefully arranged and provided thoughtful service.
In addition, Kang Guangyou, former deputy governor of the Garze Prefecture government, once confessed, "In the process of long-term interaction with businessmen, I was blinded by their sweet words and sugary shells. Some people came to inquire about my whereabouts to give me gifts, some people knew that I liked to eat fish, so they racked their brains searching for fish farms of all sizes in Chengdu, and some people came thousands of miles to mourn my parents' passing."
