One month after he was dismissed as the Deputy Minister of Finance, something happened to Zhang Shaochun.
At 21:00 on May 7, 2018, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection once again fought tigers late at night-Zhang Shaochun, the former deputy secretary of the party group and deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance, was suspected of serious violations of discipline and law. The news of Zhang Shaochun's demise was only three days after the accident of Pu Bo, the vice governor of Guizhou Province, on May 4.This is also the second time since the 19th CPC National Congress that the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has beaten two tigers in three days.
The last time was the month following the 19th National Congress, on November 21 and 23, 2017, Lu Wei, the former vice-minister of the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and Liu Qiang, the former vice-governor of Liaoning Province, were sacked successively.
Removed a month ago, the third person will be investigated after dismissed
In April this year, the State Council appointed and dismissed state staff. Zhang Shaochun and Shi Yaobin were dismissed as vice ministers of the Ministry of Finance. At that time, Cheng Lihua (female), a member of the Standing Committee of the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Education Work Committee, was appointed as the new vice minister of the Ministry of Finance.
Like Zhang Shaochun who was investigated shortly after he was dismissed, there have been two other people since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
In November 2017, Lu Wei, the former deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, was sacked and became the leader of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.Judging from the news from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, when he was sacked, he was no longer the deputy head of the Central Propaganda Department.
Another person is Wang Xiaoguang, the former vice governor of Guizhou who was just sacked in April this year.According to public information, Wang Xiaoguang resigned from the position of deputy governor in January this year, and his resume was also removed from the official website before he was sacked.
Deputy Ministry served four ministers in 12 years
Zhang Shaochun was born in February 1958 and had passed his 60th birthday when he was dismissed.In the eyes of the outside world, this may be a normal age to resign.Unexpectedly, a month later, he had an accident.Zhang Shaochun, a native of Kuandian, Liaoning, is a graduate student majoring in finance at the Department of Finance of Dongbei University of Finance and Economics and a doctor of economics.His resume is relatively simple, and he has worked in the Ministry of Finance for a long time.
The official resume shows that from 1988 to 1989, Zhang Shaochun served as deputy director-level secretary of the duty office of the General Office of the Ministry of Finance.Ministerial Secretary, Director of the Department of Treaty and Law and the Department of Education, Science and Culture of the Ministry of Finance.
In November 2006, after serving as the assistant minister of the Ministry of Finance for three years, Zhang Shaochun became the new deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance. Until April 2018, when he resigned, Zhang Shaochun served as the deputy minister for 12 years.He served four terms as Secretary of the Treasury in that role.From April 2013, Zhang Shaochun concurrently served as Deputy Secretary of the Party Leadership Group of the Ministry of Finance.Before being dismissed, his division of labor was to assist the minister in overall work, in charge of the Department of Taxation, Department of Budget, and Department of Defense.
He worked with the fallen Wang Baoan for 17 years. Before Zhang Shaochun, another official who was the deputy minister of finance fell from the horse.The former director of the National Bureau of Statistics Wang Baoan, who was sacked in January 2016, had worked in the Ministry of Finance for a long time and served as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance. The main problem of his sacking also occurred during the Ministry of Finance.
There are many similarities in the experience of Wang Baoan and Zhang Shaochun. Both of them were secretaries, worked in the General Office of the Ministry of Finance, and were promoted from Assistant Minister of Finance to Deputy Minister.In 1998, Zhang Shaochun, then deputy director of the General Office of the Ministry of Finance, assumed the new post of director of the Department of Treaty and Law of the Ministry of Finance. In the same year, Wang Baoan was transferred from the deputy director of the General Office of the State Administration of Taxation to the General Office of the Ministry of Finance as deputy director.
The promotion paths of the two are also very similar, both are deputy director of the general office-business director-assistant minister-deputy minister.Zhang Shaochun once served as the director of the Department of Treaty and Law and the Department of Education, Science and Culture of the Ministry of Finance, and Wang Baoan served as the director of the Policy Planning Department, the Comprehensive Department, and the Economic Construction Department.
Zhang Shaochun, born in 1958, was five years older than Wang Baoan, who was born in 1963, and his official career promotion was also ahead of Wang Baoan.In 2003, he was promoted to Assistant Minister of Finance, and three years later to Deputy Minister.Wang Baoan served as assistant minister in 2009 and was promoted to vice minister in 2012.However, Wang Baoan was one step ahead when it came to falling from the horse.Since 1998, the two have been working together in the Ministry of Finance for 17 years, especially in the three years from 2012 to 2015. Both of them were members of the party group and deputy ministers of the Ministry of Finance.Afterwards, Wang Baoan became the director of the National Bureau of Statistics, but he was dismissed after less than a year in office. In May last year, Wang Baoan was sentenced to life imprisonment for accepting bribes. The court found that:
From 1994 to 2016, Wang Baoan used to serve as secretary of the General Office of the State Administration of Taxation, deputy director of the General Office of the Ministry of Finance, director of the General Affairs Department, member of the Party Leadership Group of the Heilongjiang Provincial People's Government, assistant to the governor (temporary), member of the Party Leadership Group of the Ministry of Finance, and assistant to the minister, Deputy Minister, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group, Director of the National Bureau of Statistics, etc., or take advantage of the convenient conditions formed by their powers and status, through the behavior of other state staff, to provide relevant units and individuals with lottery sales, loan applications,Provided assistance in project approval, land development, job recruitment, job adjustment and other matters, and illegally accepted other people's property totaling more than RMB 153 million.
The upper-level adjustment of the Ministry of Finance, Wang Baoan fell before the Central Inspection Team inspected the Ministry of Finance.
Half a year after his fall, according to the unified deployment of the central government, from July 2 to September 2, 2016, the thirteenth inspection team of the central government conducted a special inspection of the party group of the Ministry of Finance.On October 11 of that year, the thirteenth inspection team of the Central Committee gave feedback on the special inspection to the party group of the Ministry of Finance.The inspection team pointed out that the selection and appointment system of the Ministry of Finance is not strictly implemented, the special rectification is not in place, there are problems such as promotion with illness, and there is a problem of being under the lights.
After that, in August 2017, Mo Jiancheng, the head of the Discipline Inspection Team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection at the Ministry of Finance, also fell.
The public notice stated that during the period of participating in the National People's Congress and the inspection of the candidates of the two central committees, Mo Jiancheng went out to accept banquets many times; he provided help to others and received property in the selection and appointment of cadres; he intervened and meddled in the work of relevant business departments of the Ministry of Finance, etc.
After the two sessions, the upper echelons of the Ministry of Finance have undergone considerable changes.
Liu Kun succeeded Xiao Jie as the new minister of the Ministry of Finance, presided over the overall work of the Ministry of Finance, and was in charge of the Taxation Department, Budget Department, National Defense Department, and Personnel and Education Department.Afterwards, Zhang Shaochun and Shi Yaobin were dismissed, and Cheng Lihua, a former member of the Standing Committee of the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Education Work Committee, who had experience in local financial work, took over.
At present, there are 9 leaders of the Ministry of Finance-Liu Kun, the Minister of Finance, and 5 deputy ministers, namely Zhu Guangyao, Cheng Lihua, Liu Wei, Hu Jinglin and Yu Weiping; the assistant to the Minister is Xu Hongcai;Chairman Zhao Huiling, and member of the Party Leadership Group of the Ministry of Finance, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Vice Chairman of the National Council for Social Security Fund Wang Ercheng.
But the changes don't stop there.Among the nine senior members of the Ministry of Finance, Liu Kun, Cheng Lihua and Liu Wei all had work experience in local finance bureaus, which was rare in the past.In addition, there has also been an obvious change in the division of functions.The Taxation Department, Budget Department, and National Defense Department, which Zhang Shaochun was in charge of previously, were personally in charge of by Liu Kun, and Cheng Lihua assisted Liu Kun in charge of the Taxation Department.Liu Wei assists in charge of the Defense Department.Back to two years ago.
On August 18, 2016, the Ministry of Finance held a warning education conference on the construction of a clean and honest government, and played a warning education film based on the disciplinary and law-breaking cases of Chen Zhubing, Yao Jinsong and Zhang Rui that occurred within the Ministry.Chang Mo Jiancheng notified the investigation and punishment of 8 cases of mental problems that violated the eight regulations of the central government.Zhang Shaochun, then Vice Minister of the Ministry of Finance, demanded that party organizations and party members and cadres at all levels should learn lessons deeply, do a good job in rectification and reform, and continue to promote the Ministry of Finance's party style and clean government construction and the anti-corruption struggle.
Eight days later, Wang Baoan, who had served as the Deputy Minister of Finance, was double fired.A full year later, Mo Jiancheng, who reported the situation at the time, also had an accident.After another year, Zhang Shaochun also fell off the horse./p>
