Chen Gang was transferred to the South-to-North Water Diversion Office of the State Council in February 2017. At that time, it was rumored that his status was not guaranteed.(Internet)

(Morning News) Chen Gang, former member of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and former deputy mayor, was confirmed to have been sacked on the evening of the 6th.It is reported that Chen Gang's investigation is related to Ma Jian, the former deputy minister of the Ministry of State Security, and Guo Wengui, a wealthy businessman who fled abroad.

Chen Gang, 53 years old this year, became the deputy mayor of Beijing when he was 40 years old. His political background is Liu Qi, a former member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China and former secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee.Before Liu Qi stepped down in 2012, Chen Gang was promoted to the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee.

In 2008, Guo Wengui, the actual controller of Beijing Zhengquan Company, illegally increased the floor area ratio when constructing the Jinquan Square office building. The Beijing Municipal Planning Commission wanted to punish Guo Wengui for his illegal building and demanded the demolition of the illegal building in Jinquan Square. Guo Wengui faced losses of hundreds of millions of yuan..

According to Ma Jian's confession after his fall, Guo Wengui asked Ma Jian to help clear up the matter.Ma Jian approached Chen Gang, the deputy mayor in charge of Beijing's planning at the time, to discuss the matter, and Chen Gang agreed to help.So Ma Jian appointed someone to send a letter to the Beijing Municipal Planning Commission in the name of the 17th Bureau of the Ministry of Security, explaining that Guo Wengui is related to the Ministry of Security and has contributed to the cause of national security. He hopes that the Beijing Municipal Planning Commission will not seriously affect the interests of Guo Wengui's company.handle the situation.

The Beijing Municipal Planning Commission reported the situation to Chen Gang. After Chen Gang's approval, the Beijing Municipal Planning Commission only imposed a fine on Guo Wengui's company.This result saved Guo Wengui hundreds of millions of yuan in losses.

In the second half of 2013, Guo Wengui occupied a piece of public land for renovation and expansion of his residence in Houhai, Beijing. The urban construction department of Beijing Xicheng District asked him to demolish the illegal construction and vacate the public land.

Guo Wengui approached Ma Jian again to clear the matter, and Ma Jian repeated the same trick, sending personnel to the relevant management departments in Xicheng District with a letter of introduction from the 17th Bureau of the Ministry of Security, but the coordination failed.So Ma Jian personally called Chen Gang, the deputy mayor who has been promoted to the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, and hoped that he could help resolve the matter.But Chen Gang said this time that Guo Wengui's occupation of the land was illegal, and there was no way to coordinate and solve this problem.

In December 2016, Ma Jian was dismissed.Guo Wengui, who had already felt that the rumors were wrong, fled China and now lives in the United States.

Ma Jian confessed that from 2008 to 2014, in order to please and thank Ma Jian, Guo Wengui successively gave Ma Jian money and goods worth about 60 million yuan (about 12 million Singapore dollars).

Chen Gang was officially announced the night before that he was suspected of serious violations of discipline and law, and is currently undergoing disciplinary review and supervisory investigation by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission.Neither the official nor the Chinese media disclosed the specific reasons for Chen Gang's fall.

However, just two months after Ma Jian was investigated in December 2016, Chen Gang was removed from his post as a member of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and deputy mayor of Beijing, and transferred to the deputy director of the South-to-North Water Diversion Office of the State Council. His official career was obviously frustrated.It is reported that Chen Gang may be involved in the collusion case between Guo Wengui and Ma Jianquan.

In June 2017, as Guo Wengui broke the news frequently in the United States, a video of Ma Jian personally confessing his various illegal activities with Guo Wengui was circulated on the Internet.In this video, Ma Jian mentioned the fact that he approached Chen Gang to help Guo Wengui twice, indirectly confirming the rumors.

Analysts pointed out that in 2008, Ma Jian and Chen Gang worked together to recover Guo Wengui's hundreds of millions of yuan in losses. Guo Wengui, who has always been good at courting officials, gave Ma Jian a generous gift, so it is impossible for Chen Gang not to express it.In 2013, Ma Jian approached Chen Gang again to talk to Guo Wengui, which shows that the relationship between the three is not ordinary.

In October 2016, Cai Qi succeeded Wang Anshun as mayor of Beijing.Four months later, Chen Gang and Li Shixiang, executive deputy mayor of Beijing, were both dismissed from their positions as members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and deputy mayor.Chen Gang went to the South-to-North Water Diversion Office, and Li Shixiang was transferred to the vice chairman of the Beijing CPPCC.In September 2018, Li Shixiang was investigated and became the first tiger to fall in Beijing after the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

In March 2018, Chen Gang was transferred from the deputy director of the South-to-North Water Diversion Office to a member of the party group and secretary of the Secretariat of the China Association for Science and Technology. Some people speculated that although he was hopeless for promotion, he might be able to land safely.

On December 27, 2018, Ma Jian was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Intermediate People's Court of Dalian City, Liaoning Province.Ten days later, Chen Gang was dismissed.

Born in 1966, Chen Gang graduated from Tsinghua University. His official career has been smooth and smooth.
