Chinese aircraft carrier expert Li Jie said in an interview with Lianhe Zaobao that aircraft carriers are national strategic weapons and equipment, and every step of shipbuilding must be subject to strict and scientific review and management.The problem of cutting corners.
The sacking of the second-in-command of the Chinese military state-owned enterprise responsible for the construction of the aircraft carrier has caused public opinion to suspect whether the quality of the aircraft carrier has been affected.However, according to the analysis of interviewed experts, Sun Bo, the general manager of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, has no direct relationship with the quality of the aircraft carrier.
The official website of the National Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China announced on the evening of June 16 that Sun Bo, deputy secretary of the party group and general manager of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, was suspected of serious violations of discipline and law, and was undergoing disciplinary review and supervisory investigation.
According to public information, the 57-year-old Sun Bo has hardly left Dalian and the shipbuilding industry in his career.He holds a bachelor's degree in ship design and manufacturing and a doctorate in engineering in ship and marine structure design and manufacturing from Dalian Institute of Technology. He is a senior engineer (researcher level).
He used to be the deputy director of Dalian New Shipbuilding Factory, the general manager of Dalian New Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd., the general manager of Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd., and the general manager of Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd.
The delay of the first sea trial of the first domestic aircraft carrier Type 001A attracts attention
In 2009, he served as a member of the party group of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, and also served as the general manager of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation and the chairman of Dalian Shipyard Group Co., Ltd.Three years later, he was promoted to the deputy general manager of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, and three years later he was promoted to the position before his fall.
Since China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation is the competent unit for the construction of aircraft carriers in China, Sun Bo's sacking has aroused doubts about the quality of aircraft carriers.
The first sea trial of China's first domestically-built aircraft carrier, the Type 001A, appeared to have been delayed by several days last month, prompting overseas observers to speculate that the new aircraft carrier could malfunction.
As early as the 1st of last month, the aircraft carrier support ship was covered with colorful flags, the Liaoning Provincial Maritime Safety Administration issued a navigation warning, and the aircraft carrier sea trial seemed to be ready.
On the 7th and 8th of last month, he met with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Dalian. It is speculated that the purpose of the trip to Dalian may also include attending the aircraft carrier sea trial ceremony.
However, the domestically-made aircraft carrier had not set off until it left Dalian.On the 12th, the Maritime Safety Administration extended the ban on sailing in nearby waters from the original 4th to 11th to the 11th to 18th, further deepening the impression that the new aircraft carrier's trial voyage may be postponed for some reason.
The domestically-made aircraft carrier finally left the Dalian Wharf on the 13th to start sea trials.Beijing military observers believe that the sea trial of the aircraft carrier went smoothly and the power system test was successful.
Li Jie, a Chinese aircraft carrier expert, said in an interview with Lianhe Zaobao: The sea trials of domestically-made aircraft carriers are being carried out on a regular basis, and it is normal to return to the shipyard for maintenance after the sea trials.
He analyzed that Sun Bo's fall was due to his personal violation of law and discipline, and had no direct relationship with the aircraft carrier.
Li Jie explained that aircraft carriers are national strategic weapons and equipment, and every step of shipbuilding must be subject to strict and scientific review and management.If there is a problem, it will inevitably affect the next link, and the problem will be discovered quickly.
Founded in 1999, CSIC is the main force in the scientific research and production of Chinese naval equipment, undertaking tasks such as scientific research, design, production, testing, and support of naval weapons and equipment such as aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, conventional submarines, surface ships, and underwater weapons.
CSIC also designs and manufactures water engineering equipment such as the Jiaolong deep-sea manned submersible, the Three Gorges ship lift, and various commercial vessels such as oil tankers and container ships.
According to the news released by China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, Sun Bo went to a subsidiary company of the group to discuss anti-corruption five days before his fall.
During his investigation at the CSIC Material Trading Group Corporation, he said that the centralized procurement of bulk materials is an effective measure for the group company to reduce costs and increase efficiency, and it is also a concrete implementation of the anti-corruption work under the new normal of the central government and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.new results.
Sun Bo's fall was not without warning.When he took over as general manager in 2015, the inspection team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection criticized some research institutes of CSIC for chaotic financial management, and some institutes sold unit resources and knowledge technology for personal profit.
The inspection team inspected the China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation again last year, and severely criticized some leaders for failing to truthfully report personal matters to the organization; the implementation of cadre selection and appointment regulations was not strict, and there were many complaints about illegal appointments and small circles; corruption in key areasRisks, some leaders have a weak sense of discipline.The feedback from the Central Inspection Team at the time stated that they had received some reports of problems involving leading cadres, and they had been transferred to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Central Organization Department and other relevant parties for handling in accordance with relevant regulations.
Liu Changhong, former member of the party group of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation and former leader of the discipline inspection team, was expelled from the party and public office in September last year because he was suspected of accepting bribes.
