The "traitor" Liu Qidong was decided to be arrested!
On September 25, a reporter from Justice.com learned from the Supreme People's Procuratorate that the case of Liu Qidong, former member of the Standing Committee of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region Commission for Discipline Inspection and former member of the Supervisory Committee, suspected of taking bribes, was concluded by the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region Supervisory Committee and transferred to the procuratorate for review and prosecution. After being assigned by the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region People's Procuratorate, the Yinchuan Municipal People's Procuratorate reviewed and prosecuted. Recently, the Yinchuan Municipal People's Procuratorate made an arrest decision on Liu Qidong on suspicion of taking bribes in accordance with the law. The case is being further processed.
Public information shows that Liu Qidong, male, Han nationality, was born in August 1971 in Yizheng, Jiangsu Province. He started working in July 1992 and joined the Communist Party of China in June 1992. He has a university degree. He was formerly the deputy director of the Office of the Economic Commission of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, the director of the Office of the Economic and Information Commission of the Autonomous Region, the county magistrate of Pengyang County, Guyuan City, and the secretary of the Pengyang County Party Committee. In November 2021, he was appointed as a member of the Standing Committee of the Autonomous Region Commission for Discipline Inspection and a member of the Autonomous Region Supervisory Commission until he was investigated on March 21, 2024.
Justice.cn reporters noticed that in January 2023, the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision held a press conference to report on the region's party style and clean government construction and anti-corruption work in 2022. As a spokesperson, Liu Qidong emphasized that "a zero-tolerance attitude should be adopted to strictly prevent 'darkness under the light'" in terms of "forging a loyal, clean and responsible iron army of discipline inspection and supervision." But it is obvious that Liu Qidong is the "inside ghost" of the "darkness under the light."
In recent years, Ningxia has strictly investigated "darkness under the light", and many discipline inspection and supervision cadres have been investigated. In March 2023, Yin Xueru, former deputy secretary of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region Commission for Discipline Inspection and former deputy director of the Autonomous Region Supervision Commission, was investigated, becoming the first provincial-level discipline inspection commission "insider" to be investigated since the 2023 National Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Cadre Education and Rectification Mobilization and Deployment Conference.
In December 2023, Zhao Xiaodong, former Party Secretary and Director of the Rural Revitalization Bureau of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region and former Deputy Party Secretary of the Autonomous Region Agriculture and Rural Affairs Department, was investigated. It is understood that Zhao Xiaodong served as Secretary of the Pengyang County Party Committee before he was transferred to serve as Secretary of the Guyuan Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Director of the Supervisory Commission. At that time, Liu Qidong worked with Zhao Xiaodong and served as the county magistrate of Pengyang County. In January 2021, after Zhao Xiaodong was transferred, Liu Qidong succeeded as Secretary of the Pengyang County Party Committee.
