Chapter 1011 Anti-Corruption and Development

The government in the Year of the Dragon has put its greatest efforts into anti-corruption, and Haoshenkou Mian has indeed caught a large number of role models, and the punishments are also very strong. Most people fell into obscurity.

At a time when reform and opening up is advancing in depth and China's economy is taking off rapidly, it is also a year when China strikes hard at official corruption, a year when China's judicial system deepens reform, and a year when China's judicial organs increase law enforcement. This year's domestic anti-Japanese struggle can be said to be magnificent, with riots taking place one after another and being dramatic.

When the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection studied and deployed this year's clean government construction and anti-corruption work at the beginning of the year, the No. 1 Chief clearly stated that in order to govern the country, we must first govern the Party and to govern the Party strictly. In particular, we emphasized that cadres who dare to ignore laws and disciplines and commit crimes must be punished. Use heavy codes. No matter who he is, no matter how high his position is, he will be punished as he deserves. Those who deserve a heavy sentence will be given a harsh sentence, and those who deserve to be killed will be killed without mercy.

I'm afraid many people at the time thought this was just a formality, but these ten years have passed. The corrupt officials who have been killed along the way are indeed capable of showing no mercy.

Except for Cheng Kejie, who has the highest official position, the first anti-corruption shot in the Year of the Dragon was Hu Changqing, the former deputy governor of Jiangxi Province. In just over four years, Hu Changqing amassed more than 7 million yuan in money. During the peak period, the daily income was 30,000 yuan.

Corrupt officials love money more than their lives, and commit crimes against the odds. If they are corrupt, they will kill them. There is a saying that a sharp knife is not afraid of a thick neck. In the following months, gunshots rang out continuously. This demonstrates the central government’s determination to punish corruption.

Zhou Jimei, the most corrupt person in Anhui, is the wife of Xiao Zuoxin, the former mayor of Fuyang. Xiao Zuoxin, who looks like a white-faced scholar, has a good reputation in Zhuoyang, Anhui. He does not smoke, drink, gamble, or play with women. Still a filial son. However, who could have expected that this official, the parent of Zhuoyang with a population of more than 13 million, would have amassed more than 20 million yuan in property in five years. The speed of his soul's transformation was astonishing.

Of course, this is largely due to the fact that he has a good wife.

Behind every successful man there must be a woman, and behind every corrupt official there must be at least one woman. What makes this woman different is that she has a huge appetite. Just having a prosperous husband can no longer satisfy her, so she needs to do something. Other things. Judging from the trial results, her crimes were much more serious than her husband's. In addition to corruption and bribery, she also illegally resold land.

Li Chenglong, a huge corrupt man in Guangxi, is only the party secretary of a county-level city. During his tenure, his daily income was no less than 10,000 yuan. When he was arrested, the two small, two-foot-square lock boxes that Li Chenglong regarded as his lifeblood were worth more than 15 million yuan in bills, vouchers, real estate certificates, etc.

What is shocking is that in the case of Li Chenglong, the suggestion of bringing out the radish out of the mud directly and indirectly involved a large number of people, including Li Chenglong's direct superiors. Obviously, the loss of restricted power will inevitably bring widespread consequences. Without sex, supervision and management will be in a vacuum.

Among them, it is worth mentioning that the four "giant orchids are one gram".

He can be regarded as a technical player among the giants. Taking advantage of his position in charge of the calculation and review of foreign exchange retained by non-trading enterprises, he used methods such as altering the foreign exchange transaction statistics card, changing the name of the company and increasing the amount of foreign exchange to defraud and sell the foreign exchange quota, thus obtaining more than 10 million in public funds.

Especially after he cracked the unit's accounting code. He falsely increased the foreign exchange quota balance on the Sichuan Provincial Science and Technology Exchange Center account from zero to US$5.8 million in order to sell it, but was discovered during review by the unit.

Zhu Huaguang from Xijiang is only over ten years old. Before his arrest, he was the general manager of Ningbo Zhongtuo Construction Co., Ltd. It can be said that he is young and promising. He took advantage of his position and used the method of falsely issuing material invoices or direct transfers to withdraw cash, totaling more than 9 million yuan.

How could Zhu Huaguang, who was so proud of his official career, turn himself into a crazily corrupt criminal? Loopholes in the regulatory system may be one of the factors that encouraged his rapid decline. Faced with a huge amount of money at your fingertips, it is obviously very difficult to stop the cat from eating fish.

In fact, the means of committing false invoices are not clever. But it succeeds every time, and we have to say that there are institutional reasons for this. As the old saying goes, if the fence is tight, wild dogs can't get through. To curb violence, we obviously need to find ways to regulate. Just shooting will not work.

After all, in the face of huge benefits at your fingertips, who is the bullet? Only a few are caught. Those who are caught and convicted are even rarer, and those who are caught, convicted and shot are extremely rare. The majority are those who run away and are not caught. Such a probability and such a low cost **, obviously it will have strong stimulation and attraction to most people.

On the road of domestic reform and development, there are many reasons for the emergence of corruption.

From an objective perspective, since the country is in the process of transitioning from a planned economic system to a socialist market economic system, the management system and supervision and restriction mechanisms that adapt to the requirements of market economy development are still relatively weak in the short term, and administrative actions, Corporate behavior and market behavior have not been strictly regulated and effectively constrained in a short period of time, and the construction of democracy and the legal system has been difficult to perfect in a short period of time. This has created conditions for corruption to breed and spread, making corruption appear in a more common state. .

From a subjective point of view, there are still many regions and departments that have implemented the dual-agriculture economy and opposed the government's hard and soft approach to Uncle Gu. Without careful attention to the decisions and arrangements of the Four Realities Central Committee, some corruption phenomena that could have been suppressed through subjective efforts not only did not decrease, but instead grew and spread further.

From the beginning of the year to now, disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies across the country have concluded more than 134,000 cases, and more than 4,000 county and division-level cadres have been punished. There are more than 300 cadres at the prefectural and departmental levels, and there are two cadres at the provincial and ministerial level and above.

The investigation and handling of so many cases of violations of discipline and law by leading cadres within one year shows that the intensity and depth of the current domestic anti-Japanese struggle are unprecedented. It cannot be said that the central government is not serious about it.

However, when Fan Wubing talked about these cases with Zhang Qi, he seemed a little disapproving, "Of course there is nothing wrong with using heavy codes to punish corruption, but the biggest problem now is the lack of supervision by the masses. Officials in some regions now Just like the Turkish emperors, both black and white prevail. It is said that although the central government has set up a whistleblower confidentiality system, in fact this system is better than nothing. More than 80% of whistleblowers have been retaliated against. China should also learn something similar. Hong Kong has a witness protection system. Otherwise, who would dare to report it? They might be silenced one day!”

"It's not that scary, right?" Zhang Qi asked in surprise.

"How could it not be?" Fan Wubing shook his head and said, "It's just that you don't pay enough attention."

But in addition to these things, Fan Wubing is also more concerned about the opening of the west.

Standing on the threshold of the new century, every Chinese person has different feelings.

This year's per capita GDP has reached 850 US dollars. The central government announced that people's living standards have generally reached the goal of prosperity proposed by Deng Gong 21 years ago. However, the development of various regions is uneven. For example, the per capita income in Shenzhen has reached 5,000 US dollars. Sichuan only has 510 US dollars, and Guizhou only has 280 US dollars.

“Let the people in one area get rich first and let the coastal areas develop first. This is the development strategy formulated in the past two decades. China’s coastal areas have quickly caught up with the world’s trends and become the world’s factories. The gap between the central and western regions and the coastal areas has further widened. "Fan Wubing said to Feng Qi with some emotion, "It can be said that all stages of human productivity can be found in Feng Country. Big cities are implementing informatization and entering the era, but in the mountains of the southwest, there is still slash-and-burn farming. original.

In fact, not only the gap between the eastern and central and western regions, but also the gap between urban and rural areas is also further widening.

Many of the farmers who got rich first moved to cities, and rural areas and agriculture continued to suffer a net loss of human resources and capital. The existence of the household registration system makes farmers essentially second-class citizens.

Township retention, agricultural taxes, most of the redundant water conservancy projects used to support township governments have collapsed, rural medical care has collapsed, heavy taxes and fees, and losses in planting, farmers are no longer motivated and allow the land to be barren, so that in the spring of this year, the National Rural Cooperation All foundations closed down, leaving a gap in rural financial services.

This year's fifth census said. The population of the mainland is more than 1.26 billion.

Although the population problem has been brought under control, other problems have been exposed, one. It is because the proportion of the elderly population has increased. China has entered an elderly society. People get old before they get rich. Most people do not have social security. How to provide for the elderly has become a big problem. Another is that China's Gini coefficient has crossed the international warning line of 0.4, which also means that the gap between rich and poor in China has exceeded that of Japan and major European countries, and has exceeded the limits of social tolerance, which means that the majority of Chinese people The population, living below the national average, can only be said to be barely enough for food and clothing.

"Today's China is being torn into two parts, one is Port China, and the other is Inland China. The latter has been overdrafting itself and dedicating its children to help Port China enter the cycle of globalization. They are migrant workers. There are now over 100 million migrant workers. They work hard and have no social security. Seven percent of them are disabled, but they cannot get the compensation they deserve. But everyone knows this. In today's China, the core competitiveness is the value of labor." When Fan Wubing said this, his eyes got a little wet.

Zhang Qi felt something, and gently wiped the corners of Fan Wubing's eyes with his hand, and said softly, "Good boy, this is not a problem you have the ability to solve."

In fact, this is indeed not a problem that Fan Wubing has the ability to solve. Although he is rich, some problems cannot be solved by money alone.

aware of the seriousness of this problem. Fan Wubing is not alone. The Western Development Strategy began to lay out the construction of small towns and became the direction of urbanization of the rural population. The Central Plenary Session held in October proposed the development goal of a comprehensive moderately prosperous society. Just letting some people get rich first is not socialism. The ultimate goal of reform is to take the path of common prosperity and let the fruits of reform be shared by all people.
