However, the province did not convey and study the spirit of the General Secretary’s important instructions, and Xi’an did not establish an investigation team until more than 20 days later on June 10, with Qiao Zheng, a municipal government consultant who had been relegated to the second line, as the team leader.
Qiao Zheng, consultant to the Xi'an Municipal Government at the time: Because I was a consultant and took a back seat, all the (members) who participated in my group were deputies.All political resources and all human resources in Xi'an must be used, and it is possible that my position cannot meet the competency standards.
In July 2014, the investigation team reported to the city that the number of illegally built villas had been thoroughly investigated, a total of 202.Subsequently, the number of Building 202 was reported from the city to the province and then to the central government, and it went smoothly all the way.In fact, there are far more than 202 illegally built villas in Qinling. Due to severe formalism and bureaucracy in Shaanxi Province and Xi'an City, more than a thousand illegally built villas were underreported at the time.
On October 13, 2014, ... the General Secretary issued a second important instruction, but Shaanxi Province and Xi'an City still did not attract real attention.
Chen Zhangyong, director of the Eighth Supervision and Inspection Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission and deputy leader of the Central Special Rectification Working Group: Meetings are communicated, leaders have instructions, work is supervised, and results are reported.However, through in-depth investigation, we found that there are serious problems of formalism and bureaucracy in these communication, inspection and reporting.
From February 2015 to April 2018, ... the general secretary issued three important instructions on illegally built villas in the Qinling Mountains.However, Shaanxi Province and Xi'an City still haven't fulfilled the general secretary's requirement of incomplete resolution and never letting go.
Shangguan Jiqing, the mayor of Xi'an at the time: I am afraid that these problems have continued for so many years, and there must be complex interpersonal relationships behind them.
In July 2018, General Secretary... made his sixth directive on the illegal construction of villas in Qinling: First, we should start with the political discipline investigation and thoroughly investigate and deal with the problems of rectification but not cure, overriding of violations, and continued prohibition.At the end of the month, the central government sent a special rectification working group led by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to settle in Shaanxi to carry out rectification actions against illegally built villas in the Qinling Mountains.
Xu Lingyi, deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, deputy director of the National Supervisory Commission and leader of the central special rectification working group: The most important reason for the occurrence and evolution of illegally built villas is the lack of political construction of relevant party organizations and their weakness, and the lack of political awareness of relevant leading cadres.Discipline lacks awe, and political rules and awareness are weak.
