From January 6 to 9, the TV special film “Continuous Efforts and Deep Advancement” jointly produced by the Propaganda Department of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission and China Central Radio and Television will be broadcast. In recent years, officials have released an annual anti-corruption blockbuster at the beginning of each new year, which is seen as a window into anti-corruption efforts. Which losers will appear on camera to repent this year? What details of important cases will be revealed in the film? The outside world is paying attention to this.
Details of corruption case in football disclosed
In the past two years, the “anti-corruption storm” in Chinese football has attracted widespread attention. Just following the release of this trailer, “Li Tie said he regretted it to the camera” became a hot search on the Internet. The former head coach of China’s national men’s football team appeared on camera and said he “regrets it very much” and “want to take the right path.”
Li Tie, born in May 1977, was a well-known professional football player and national football coach. Now he is being prosecuted and is involved in multiple crimes such as accepting bribes, offering bribes, bribery by his employer, and accepting bribes by non-state staff.
Since the official notification of Li Tie’s investigation on November 26, 2022, more than ten people have been arrested in the football field, including Chen Xuyuan, the former chairman of the Chinese Football Association, Du Zhaocai, the former deputy director of the State Sports General Administration in charge of football, and others.
Chen Xuyuan and Du Zhaocai will also appear on camera to confess. In the trailer, the gray-haired Du Zhaocai said that he was “hunted” by club owners for their interests. Chen Xuyuan said that he wanted to deeply apologize to fans across the country.
Some scholars said that the “anti-gambling and anti-criminal campaign” in Chinese football that started in 2009 is of great significance to the anti-corruption work in the sports field. Nowadays, the details of a series of corruption cases in the football field have been further disclosed. Using the cases to explain discipline and promote reform and treatment is expected to have a positive effect on curing stubborn diseases, promoting righteousness, and purifying the sports political ecology.
Demonstrate that key breakthroughs drive overall advancement
Systematically rectifying key areas and driving the overall situation with key breakthroughs is a feature of the anti-corruption work in 2023. According to the deployment, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission will intensify the investigation and handling of cases in the fields of state-owned enterprises, finance, medical care, food purchase and sales, and resolutely clean up industrial, systemic, and regional corruption with high risks and hidden dangers.
The heavy-handed anti-corruption campaign hits the key points, which is reflected in the “Continuous Efforts to Advance in Depth”. The film selects 12 typical cases, including “The case of Fan Yifei, former member of the Party Committee and Vice President of the People’s Bank of China”, “The case of Li Dong, former member of the Party Committee and Deputy General Manager of the National Energy Investment Group”, “The case of Long’anqiao Grain Storage Co., Ltd., Fuyu County, Heilongjiang Province” The case of former general manager Zhao Zhiming”. These cases involve key anti-corruption areas such as finance, energy, and grain purchase and sales.
Among them, Fan Yifei has worked in the financial system for a long time. In November 2022, the official informed that he was under investigation while in office. He was the first deputy provincial and ministerial-level official to be dismissed following the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. He was accused of “relying on finance to eat finance” and “using money to make money”. Li Dong, who was born in 1960, was investigated following his retirement. He was accused of “illegal work in private enterprises for remuneration following retirement” and “unscrupulous living on coal”.
Some commentators believe that the anti-corruption feature film will reflect the effectiveness of anti-corruption work in highlighting key areas and strictly investigating key issues. Adhering to the principle of punishment will never be relaxed, and using key breakthroughs to drive overall advancement will further help achieve the transformation from clearing individual cases and key punishments to systematic rectification and improvement of overall governance.
Demonstrate that “the fight once morest corruption never stops”
“Always on the Road”, “Inspection Sword”, “Red Notice”, “Zero Tolerance”, “Always Blow the Charge”… In the past ten years, annual anti-corruption blockbusters have been aired one following another. At the same time, the fight once morest corruption has always been Maintain a high-pressure posture.
It is known that there will be a total of four episodes of “Continuous Efforts to Advance in Depth” to be aired, namely “Solving Unique Problems”, “Political Supervision and Guarantee”, “Strengthening Positive Work Styles and Suppressing Discipline” and “Integrated Promotion of “Three No-Corruption””. “Always remain clear-headed and determined to solve the unique problems of major parties”, “continue to strengthen political supervision” and “promote in an integrated way those who dare not, cannot and do not want to corrupt” are also the footnotes of anti-corruption work.
Looking back on 2023, we will not relax our efforts and pace in fighting the “tiger”. More than 40 central management cadres were announced to be subject to review and investigation, and regarding 30 central management cadres were announced to be punished. This feature film selected the “case of Zhang Fusheng, former member of the Party Committee and Deputy Director of the Fire Rescue Bureau of the Ministry of Emergency Management”, “the case of Zhang Xiaopei, the former vice chairman of the Jilin Provincial Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference”, and the “case of Li Zaiyong, the former vice chairman of the Guizhou Provincial Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference”. These fallen officials were all arrested last year. Notify the “tiger” of punishment.
Before the annual anti-corruption blockbuster is broadcast, on the first working day of 2024, this year’s “first tiger” will be notified. Some commentators said that the crackdown on “tiger” at the beginning of the year demonstrated the strong determination and firm will of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to comprehensively and strictly govern the party and combat corruption and punish evil with a zero-tolerance attitude.
As stated in an article published on the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission on January 1, in the face of the still severe and complex situation, the anti-corruption struggle needs to continue to be vigorously pursued and advanced in depth, and “prevent and control corruption in a more regular and long-term manner” .
