State -owned enterprises anti -corruption, just at the right time

On March 31, Xu Heyi, the former secretary of the party committee and chairman of Beijing Automobile Group Co., Ltd., was officially officially reviewed and surveyed by official Xuanzheng, and became the latest official of the state -owned enterprise anti -corruption.

Since March, according to the news published by the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, several state -owned enterprise officials have been investigated, including eight state -owned banks, including the former party secretary of the Bank of China and chairman Liu Lianzhang, and Nanning of the China Railway NanningHuang Wei, deputy general manager of the Bureau Group Co., Ltd., Guo Zhiping, former party committee secretary and deputy brigade of China Nuclear Group Nuclear Industry 208, Yao Jiangtao, former chief economist of aviation industry, Chen FushengChen Junhao, senior deputy general manager of PetroChina Corporation of PetroChina Corporation, Chen Junhao and others.

This round of vigorous state -owned enterprises has been deployed as early as January this year.

In January this year, at the Second Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that the situation of anti -corruption struggle was still severe and complicated.The 20th Central Discipline Inspection Commission's Second Plenary Work Report emphasized that it is necessary to deepen the corruption of financial, state -owned enterprises, political and legal concentration, dense capital, resource enrichment fields, and grain purchases and other industries.The struggle provides "roadmap" and "construction chart".

Since then, the website of the National Commission for Discipline Inspection has posted several documents several times, emphasizing that it is necessary to deepen industry and systemic corruption governance.A total of more than 3,500 words in the last time of the anti -corruption struggle for resolutely winning the fight against corruption on February 23, mentioning the central enterprises eight times.External analysis believes that this article releases a clear signal to strengthen the supervision of central enterprises.

The article pointed out that it is necessary to resolutely investigate and deal with the corruption of political issues and economic issues, and resolutely prevent leading cadres from becoming the spokesperson and agent of interest groups and power groups.Development Environment.

The reason why state -owned enterprises anti -corruption is important, which is greatly related to its special nature.The China Discipline Inspection and Supervision News has published dialysis corruption and anti -corruption. According to analysis, "State -owned enterprises are neither a complete public organization nor pure private organization. It is between the two.It appears at the combination of public and private sectors. Obviously, the dual organization attributes of state -owned enterprises are more likely to meet the basic conditions of corruption. "

"If state -owned enterprises use their connections with the government to seek priority competitive position, then it is very likely to ensure its own high profit level through market monopoly, price difference, government subsidy and other methods. This can be understood as the monopoly fieldPolicy resources. And this kind of resources can easily lead to the national interest departmentalization and the personalization of the department's interests, and become a hotbed of corruption. "The above pointed out.

The Zhejiang Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection also issued a statement that state -owned enterprises directly deal with "money". Dedicated funds, rich resources, and asset gathering are the most distinctive features of state -owned enterprises.This also means that the leaders of state -owned enterprises are more often and more directly seduced by various material interests.

This article, for example, has a series of integrity risks such as fake bidding, accompanying bids, siege, and bidding in the bidding of the project.Not only that, state -owned enterprise restructuring and reorganization, project investment, property rights trading, capital operation, material procurement, financial management, overseas investment and operation, etc. are all weak links with high risk of clean government.In addition, state -owned enterprises have an independent legal person status, and the business secrets in operation should not be fully disclosed. The profit loss of enterprises is also the norm of the market. These have made state -owned enterprise corruption a certain concealment.

The destruction of corruption of state -owned enterprises is great.The analysis of the corruption and anti -corruption of state -owned enterprises for dialysis, corruption in state -owned enterprises not only destroyed market order in prices, trade, and investment, but also more seriously that it harmed social fairness and erodes the reputation and prestige of the public sector in society.

At the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Discipline Inspection Commission held in January 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that it is necessary to increase anti -corruption of state -owned enterprises, strengthen the management of national resources and state -owned assets, investigate and deal with the corruption problems hidden in local debt risksEssenceAccording to data from the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, at least 40 state -owned enterprise leaders in the first half of 2020 were notified.

For state -owned enterprises that have a climax this year, Mao Zhaohui, director of the Renmin University of China Anti -Corruption and Independent Policy Research Center, told China News Weekly that "Due to the decline in domestic economy and losses in a large number of enterprises, the biggest challenges and tasks faced by the disciplinary inspection authorities areProvide strong supervision and guarantees for economic and social development. "He pointed out that the focus of political supervision has been adjusted. The previous focus was to maintain political security and eliminate political hazards. Now" guarantee supervision "has become the main line of disciplinary inspection.

Wei Changdong, executive director of the China Integrity and Legal Research Association and director of the Institute of Law of the Institute of Law of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, also said in an interview with China News and Weekly that this round of state -owned enterprises' anti -corruption is the inherent requirements of deepening corruption governance.In recent years, state -owned enterprises have occurred in many serious and extraordinary corruption cases, exposing the corruption prevention mechanism and control mechanism to further deepen, improve and improve. "

Therefore, this round of anti -corruption is different from the previous rounds.In particular, with the continuous deepening of anti -corruption work in recent years, the central government has continuously optimized and improved anti -corruption policies, from the early "specimen and treatment" to the increasing emphasis on the root cause, which is the prevention of prevention.The guidelines for legal systems.Zhao Chi, director of the China Criminal Research Association and a professor at the School of State Law of Changzhou University, told China News Weekly that the anti -corruption of the state -owned enterprise was continued in the above background.

Zhao Chi mentioned the corporate compliance reform promoted by the Supreme Prosecution.Since 2020, the highest prosecution has explored the pilot reform of the corporate compliance reform involved in the case.He analyzed that from the perspective of the development trend, in the first three years of corporate compliance pilot reform, it was mainly targeted at SMEs and small and micro enterprises, and then extended expansion to state -owned enterprises, large enterprises and multinational enterprises, "state -owned enterprises anti -corruption and state -owned enterprisesCompliance is an important aspect of corporate anti -corruption and corporate compliance. State -owned enterprises should play demonstrations, expressions and leadership in corporate anti -corruption and corporate compliance. "

He believes that now that the anti -corruption of state -owned enterprises is now, it will be an important anti -corruption direction in the future.On the one hand, this is a demand for high -quality development.As the main force of the national economy, state -owned enterprises must have more responsibilities in the high -quality development of the economy.Corporate anti -corruption is an important aspect of corporate governance. This requires enterprises to bear more responsibility for anti -corruption and stabilize.

On the other hand, he believes that China is now accelerating the process of opening up. State -owned enterprises must participate more in global competition and open up the international and domestic dual cycles, they should comply with international traffic anti -corruption and enterprises.Rules of industry coexistence.

Anti -corruption in the energy field is concerned

In this round of anti -corruption, anti -corruption in the energy field has attracted much attention.

On March 23, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection released news that six leaders of the central enterprise were investigated, and five of them came from the energy central enterprise and concentrated on the power and power grid system.They are Xia Zhong, a member of the National Power Investment Investment Party Group and Deputy General Manager, Xu Zhiqing, former Party Secretary and Chairman of the National Energy Group Kehuan Group Guinenglang Xinming Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd.Manager Zhang Zhigang, Sheng Xiaoming, former general manager of Datang Beijing Datang Fuel Co., Ltd., and Qu Hui, deputy director of the Planning Division of the State Grid Special High -voltage Institute.

Among these state -owned enterprises, Datang Group, State Power Investment Group, and State Energy Group are China's main power central enterprises, and the State Grid is China's largest power grid company.There are some common characteristics of officials investigated, that is, they are in the core departments and positions of the company, and have the right to manage the management and disposal of corporate resources, assets, and funds.

This is the second batch of officials in the energy field since this year.Earlier, from January 31st to February 8th, Liaoning Provincial Energy Director Wang Hongzheng, Lan Yiwen, deputy general manager of Jinneng Holdings Coal Industry Group Co., Ltd., Zhang Changjun, Chief Economist of Sichuan Energy Investment Group Co., Ltd., National Energy InvestmentThe four officials of Li Dong, a member of the former party group and deputy general manager of the Group Co., Ltd., have undergone organizational investigations.

In fact, in the past few times of anti -corruption, energy anti -corruption was the focus.Public information shows that among the central enterprise cadres who have dismissed after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the energy sector ranked first, accounting for more than 40 % of the entire number of leaders of the central enterprise.

Zhuang Deshui, deputy director of the Research Center of Peking University, pointed out to China News Weekly that the field of energy is a national key investment field, and it also belongs to the capital -intensive industry.The occurrence of corruption in the field of energy will not only harm the authority of the party and government decision -making, reduce the effectiveness and execution of energy policies, and even interfere with the macro management of the central government's energy industry, affecting national economic security and stability.

The website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has issued a statement that the party members and leaders of the competent energy authority holding on the policy formulation, project approval, and industry supervision can easily become the target of illegal merchants.

The article also pointed out that the relative concentrated energy approval power in the energy field and the monopoly management rights of state -owned enterprises can easily become the object of public relations in the energy industry or involved in the energy industry.disaster area.

In addition, the management and supervision mechanism has loopholes, the approval power is opaque, and the lack of effective internal and external supervision mechanisms.And because of these vulnerabilities, the two parties or subjects of the two or divided between each other are prone to the tendency to conspiracy and illegal collaboration to form a crisp case.

Relevant cases reported by the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, which can be seen, can be seen that energy corruption is mainly concentrated in the aspects of resources, construction, engineering and other links.Essence

For example, Han Xing San, former party committee member and deputy general manager of CNOOC Petroleum Refining and Chemical Co., Ltd.Wang Jinhua, the former party committee secretary and chairman of the Co., Ltd., is mostly related to coal mining and sales, including helping to undertake coal mining business; Hao Xiaochen, former party secretary and chairman of Shaanxi Gas Group Co., Ltd.Make great power and money transactions, and use the monopoly resources of the control of the country to capture huge interests ".

In addition, the huge amount of crime is also a major feature of energy corruption.The former general manager of China Huadian Group Yun citizen, Yunxin, received a total of more than 4686.6 million yuan in property. It ranked first in the amount of energy corruption and was the giant greed in the energy field.Yu Tieyi, former deputy general manager of the Material Supply Branch of Heilongjiang Longmei Mining Group, and Wei Pengyuan, deputy director of the Ministry of Coal Division (at the same level) of the National Energy Administration, also involved in the case.

At the moment when China ’s emphasis on energy security is increasing, energy anti -corruption is very important.Mao Zhaohui told China News Weekly that after the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in order to maintain anti -corruption and high -pressure trend, the investigation of the case showed the characteristics of the combination of "regional rotation" and "precise dynamics", highlighting key areas, cleaning up the industry and system with large hidden risks and hidden dangers.Sexual corruption.Based on this standard, the energy field is undoubtedly the top priority. "Over the years, we have not been able to comprehensively rectify the corruption of the energy field. The recent exposure of corruption cases in the energy field is just a signal. The subsequent anti -corruption may continue"Give".
