A few days ago, with the approval of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, the Guangdong Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision filed a case for review and investigation of Chen Hongyu, the former secretary of the Lechang Municipal Party Committee in Shaoguan, Guangdong Province, for serious violations of discipline and law, says a report on Bjnews.com.cn

Chen Hongyu, Han nationality, was born in August 1973 in Xingning, Guangdong Province. He has an on-the-job postgraduate degree. He started working in June 1995 and joined the Communist Party of China in August 1997.

He has successively served as a member and deputy secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League, deputy secretary and mayor of the Lechang Municipal Committee of Shaoguan, secretary of the Lechang Municipal Committee of Shaoguan, and a member and vice chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Disabled Persons’ Federation.

Chen Hongyu seriously violated the party’s organizational discipline and integrity discipline, constituted a serious violation of the law and was suspected of accepting bribes, and he did not restrain himself after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The nature and impact are serious and should be dealt with seriously.

EXPELLED

A former deputy general manager of China Energy, Li Dong, has been expelled from CPC ‘over serious violations of discipline and laws’, say media reports

The punishment was announced on Wednesday in an official statement by the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Commission of Supervision.

An investigation by the country’s top anti-graft body found that Li, also formerly a member of the company’s leading Party members group, lost track of his ideals and beliefs, and was indifferent to political consciousness.

He resisted investigations into his problems and committed a series of wrongdoings in disregard of the central Party leadership’s eight-point decision on improving Party and government conduct, such as attending banquets, accepting invitations to travel and play golf, and taking money and gifts against the rules.

The statement accused Li of failing to report his personal information in accordance with the rules, interfering with job promotions for his own personal interest, and violating relevant rules by owning shares in certain non-listed companies.

He was also found to have taken advantage of his posts to seek profit for others in terms of selling products and business operations, illegally accepting huge amounts of money and property in return.

The statement said that Li’s case will be transferred to prosecutors for review and prosecution procedures, and his illegal gains will be confiscated.
