On December 30, 2022, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection released the top ten anti -corruption hot words in 2022, and the "escape" resignation was selected.

The so -called "escape" resignation means that the party members and cadres of the mainland government are lucky, trying to evade supervision by retiring and resigning in advance, and continue to collect wealth.Different from normal party members and cadres exit mechanisms, this is a new type of corruption of invisible mutation.

The article published by the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said that since 2022, Zhang Huayu, deputy secretary and deputy president of China Everbright Bank, have been accused of the "escape" resignation in the report.In fact, it has repeatedly proved that trying to use retirement or resignation to avoid regulatory corruption in the guise of retirement or resignation. No matter how deeply hidden its behavior, how long it is lurking, and how to renovate, it is difficult to escape the punishment of the discipline.The "punishing new types of corruption and hidden corruption" was written into the 20th report of the party, and once again stated that it was determined to fight corruption and punish evil with a zero tolerance attitude.

The official WeChat public account of the Monthly Monthly Magazine, in a recent report, quoted a letter source of a county -level cadre in the central region that some officials who worked in the financial and banking systems left the job at the age of 40 and passed.To handle loan guarantee companies and other methods, benefit benefits with the help of the relationship and influence of the people during the job.

The above reports also stated that the analysts of the case handler pointed out that some people did not really want to resign, but changed "retirement in advance" to "built the nests in advance" to continue the "removal of power"; some adopted "options transactions", Do not accept resignation, do not accept the job and collect posts; there are also "leaving the post with illness", worrying about the east windows, and hoping that "a resignation".

In addition to the Zhang Huayu case, Financial reporters have sorted out and found that since 2022, at least the original inspection work office director of the China Agricultural Development Bank, Jia Leng, Jiang Tingxian, Secretary of the Party Group and Director of the original Tourism Bureau of Jiulongpo District, Chongqing,Qiu Ping, former deputy inspector of the Public Security Bureau, and eight public officials including the former Party Committee and Deputy Director of the SASAC and deputy director of the Jiaxing Municipal SASAC of Zhejiang Province were notified of the "escape" resignation and resignation.

Zhuang Deshui, deputy director of the Research Center of Peking University, said in an interview with financial reporters that from the central government to local investigation and punishment of "escape" resignation and resignation of disciplinary cases, on the one hand, it reflects that China's anti -corruption struggle has achieved results in recent years;A clear signal was also released: the central government insisted on punishing corruption with a zero tolerance. No matter what renovation of corruption, it will be punished by French discipline under the deterrence of high -pressure anti -corruption.

"The" escape "resignation can be selected for anti -corruption hot words, which also shows that this is a focus of our current anti -corruption work. The new type of corruption hidden behind it is more worthy of social attention." Zhuang Deshui pointed out.

A number of officials' "escape" resignation was notified

The "Escape" resignation has previously appeared in the case of disciplinary violations that disciplinary inspection and supervision organs investigated and notified.

The website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection reported on April 1, 2022 that Zeng Changhong, the former first -level inspector of the China Securities Regulatory Commission Investor Protection Bureau, was expelled from the party.Financial reporters have inquired that this is a case that the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection announced earlier in 2022, which involved the "escape" resignation and resignation.

According to reports, before retirement, Zeng Changhong has worked for more than 20 years in the Securities Supervision System.The official resume shows that she was born in January 1961. Since December 1998, she has worked at the China Securities Regulatory Commission.Members are waiting until August 2019 departed from the China Securities Regulatory Commission.

The notice stated that after investigation, Zeng Changhong lost his ideals and beliefs, replaced his original intention with greed, and worked in key positions in the issuance of securities for a long time.Supervisory, continue to collect money deliberately.

In addition to escaping the punishment of the party and discipline of the party and the law of the law through the way of departure, it can be seen from the statements of relevant notifications that the reason why some officials apply for advance retirement is to go to the original business jurisdiction.The door "is beneficial.Qiu Ping, former deputy inspector of the Hangzhou Public Security Bureau of Zhejiang Province, is this type.

The case disclosed by the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection shows that since retirement, Qiu Ping has been invited by many companies to serve as a security legal consultant and receive more than 3.2 million yuan (RMB, the same below, S $ 620).In the meantime, through the establishment of the "Internet Security and Governance" forum, it helps enterprises to expand their popularity and actively plan for their network risk prevention and control.

In September 2021, Qiu Ping was expelled from the party for serious disciplinary violations and collected his disciplinary income.In May 2022, Qiu Ping was sentenced to five years in prison for more than 1.96 million yuan in bribes, and fined 400,000 yuan, and the stolen money confiscated the state treasury.

It is worth noting that Qiu Ping, who has retired for six years in July 2018, took the initiative to give up retirement benefits.In Zhuang Deshui, this phenomenon is relatively rare in the national civil servant system, which is a bit inconsistent with common sense, and there are many reasons behind it.

"For example, some are based on individuals, family considerations, and others want to have more pursuit in their careers." Zhuang Deshui told financial reporters that the pre -retirement or resignation situation for corruption is just one of them. The specific reasons are for the specific reasons.It cannot be generalized, but the social harm caused by invisible variations cannot be ignored.

"Not only the economic level, but the greater impact is the destruction of the political ecology, which leads to the loss of the government's own credit." Zhuangde Shui analyzes, because some party members and cadres have some kinds of power and resources during their job work, they retire on the surface advance retirement in advanceOr resignation, but actually fulfills the various commitments agreed before, and the biggest feature of this mutated corruption is concealment.

Another public case shows that under the situation of high -pressure anti -corruption, individual officials use the "commercial options" transactions to get benefits through extended redemption and "time difference".

The website of the National Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Monthly Monthly Magazine have disclosed the same case of "optional corruption": In September 2016, 51 -year -old Jiang Tingxian terminated the official career in advance. Previously, he was the party group of the Jiulongpo District Tourism Bureau of Chongqing City.The secretary and director, after leaving, became the legal representative of Chongqing Wanhua Valley Ecological Tourism Development Co., Ltd., not only used the "benefits" that they received in the job and the "benefit fee" that they had received after leaving, but also attempted to use their business behavior to wash their stolen money.

In April 2022, Jiang Tingxian was transferred to the People's Procuratorate of Kowloon Po District for review and prosecution for suspected bribes and abuse of power.

"Whether it is retired in advance or resignation, it is not a 'safe landing'." Zhuang Deshui analyzed that the "escape" resignation reflected the fluke of a few officials. They wanted to exchange for organizational and policy considerations in this way.However, from the publicly reported cases, it can be seen that no matter how long it is lurking, it is difficult to escape the punishment of the law.

How to punish new corruption and invisible corruption?

Since 2022, the central level has repeatedly expressed the determination to "punish new corruption and invisible corruption" and write this into the 20th major reports.

On March 24, 2022, an article published by the National Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection pointed out that review and investigation is an important part of disciplinary inspection and supervision work and an important measure to promote anti -corruption struggle.In the next step, it will increase the crackdown on stereotypes such as "shadow shareholders", "shadow company", "engaging in the rotation of the business", "building nests", "escape" resignation, etc., and seriously punish "relying on enterprises to eat enterprises" ""Loan loan" and "supervision and supervision" and other behaviors, cut off the link between power and capital.

At the second major reporter's reception held at the 20th National Congress of the CPIC held on the afternoon of October 17, 2022, the Central OrganizationWhen the deputy minister of the minister, Xu Qifang introduced the introduction of the supervision measures and results of leadership cadres. Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the party has conducted a full coverage of 31 provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities, Xinjiang production and construction corps, and more than 200 central units.Carry out special inspections of selection and employment; carry out the problem of "three super two chaos", "naked officials", licenses for private (border) due to private (border), and "rotating doors" and "escape" resignation and illegal arrangements for the central management financial unit.Special renovation such as system employment.

In terms of departure or retired public officials, in 2022, the Central Office of the Mainland Government issued a opinion on strengthening the construction of the party's construction of retired cadres in the new era (hereinafter referred to as).In terms of strict discipline and rules, the opinions clearly proposed that the party members of retired cadres, especially those who have served as a leading position, must strictly adhere to the relevant discipline and rules, and shall not use their original powers or the influence of their positions to seek benefits for themselves and others.According to reports from Xinhua News Agency on May 15, 2022, the above opinions also pointed out that for retired cadres and party members, we must strengthen management and supervision and strengthen daily management.

In addition to the central level, relevant documents have been introduced in various places.Taking Beijing as an example, on the basis of comprehensively combing and analyzing the regulations of the employment restrictions and the disposal of violations of laws and discipline, the Beijing Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection has issued a work plan on the special rectification of discipline and discipline of public officials, and carried out resignation in an all -round way.Special rectification of public officials' illegal discipline.

China has established a departure avoidance system on civil servants a long time ago.The Civil Service Law clearly stipulates that if civil servants resign from public or retired, civil servants who were originally leaders and leaders at or above the county level were left within three years of departure.For profit -making organizations, it is not allowed to engage in profitability activities directly related to the original work business.

Yang Shaohua, a professor at the Jinggangshan Cadre College of Jinggangshan, China said in an interview with a half -month talk that after the party members and leading cadres leave, their original powers will also affect or play a role in a certain scope and within a certain period of time.Yang Shaohua suggested that the relevant regulations should be refined, and the employment scope, employment time, etc. after leaving the employment will be "hard bar", and the "red line" after the resignation of officials will be resigned and the company that cannot enter.

In addition to strengthening the daily management of retired public officials through effective mechanisms, Zhuang Deshui proposed to establish and improve the reporting mechanism of working leading cadres, and within a certain period of time, especially the freezing period, there must be corresponding specifications.Specifically, you can use big data technology to analyze and screen the direction and direction of these public officials. For example, after his departure, he may register the company with a special identity or carry out other business behaviors.

"I have always advocated that civil servants should actually flow more fully, so that they can go up and down, and it is normalized." Zhuang Deshui told financial reporters.In his opinion, in this way, the entire civil servant team can be full of vitality, and more importantly, it can eliminate a number of leading cadres or illegal disciplinary personnel who are suspected of corruption.
