On November 26, 2022, the website of the Hubei Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection issued a message of attention: "Li Tie, the former head coach of the Chinese National Men's Football Team, was surveyed by the monitoring." At the beginning of 2023, there was a one after another.Liu Yi, Executive Committee of the Chinese Football Association and former Secretary -General, was under Supervision and Investigation (January 19), "Chen Yongliang, Executive Deputy Secretary -General of the Chinese Football Association and Minister of State Administration, was under review and investigation" (January 19), "Chairman of the Chinese Football Association, chairman of the Chinese Football Association,Chen Yiyuan, deputy secretary of the party committee, was reviewed and investigated "(February 14)," Huang Song, Minister of the Chinese Football Association Competition Department, was under review and investigation "(March 24), and" Wang Xiaoping, Director of the Disciplinary Committee of the Chinese Football Association "(March 24"), "The former general manager of the Super League company, Dong Yan, accepted the Supervision Investigation" (March 29) and other news.

By April 1st, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection issued information, "Du Zhaocai, a member of the Party Group and Deputy Director of the State Administration of Sports, received discipline review and supervision of the State Discipline Inspection Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection."Secretary of the Party Committee of the Football Association.If you are noticed, Yu Hongchen, the chairman of the China Athletics Association, who was reviewed and surveyed on March 29, worked in the Football Association for a long time, plus Wang Dengfeng, the former director of the Ministry of Education and Art Education, who had been transferred to the prosecution of the prosecutor's agency in February this yearHe is the vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association, and has been responsible for national youth football work in the Ministry of Education for a long time. This wave of anti -corruption in the field of Chinese football has involved 10 people in power so far.

Special Institutions Survey

Back to history, we can find that there was a large -scale anti -corruption in the Chinese football field in 2010. At that time, many officials including the Football Association, including the Vice Chairman of the Chinese Football Association Nan Yong, Yang Yimin, and Xie Yalong.Two comparisons, from the perspective of the legal perspective, a new round of anti -corruption work shows the following new trends.

First of all, a special supervisory agency is responsible for investigation.On March 11, 2018, the first session of the 13th National People's Congress passed the constitutional amendment, adding a section in the third chapter of the Constitution chapter of the "National Institution" as Section 7 of the "Supervision Committee"; March 20 passed China.The People's Republic of China Supervision Law.The last anti -corruption was investigated by the task force of the Ministry of Public Security; a new round of anti -corruption was investigated by the newly established State Institution Supervision Committee.

According to the Constitution, the People's Republic of China establishes the National Supervision Commission and local supervisory committees at all levels (Article 124); according to the Supervision Law, the supervision committees at all levels may be authorized by Chinese government agencies, state organs, laws and regulations, or entrusted management at the Chinese government agencies, national organs, laws and regulationsOrganizations and units of public affairs, as well as the administrative area and state -owned enterprises under the jurisdiction or dispatching supervision agencies and supervisory commissioners (Article 12).

The main characters involved in this round of anti -corruption are affiliated to the State General Administration of Sports (the State General Administration of Sports is a direct institution of the State Council, and the Chinese Football Association is a legal person in accordance with legal authorization and government entrustment to manage national football affairs).He was born in Hubei Province (Li Tie was the general manager of Wuhan Zhuoer Club, general manager, director of sports director, head coach, etc.). Therefore, the information of Li Tie, Chen Yiyuan and others was published by the Hubei Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.According to its specific content, it is responsible for the investigation of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Team of the State Discipline Inspection Commission State Administration of Discipline Inspection and the Hubei Provincial Supervision Committee.

As for Du Zhaocai, because it is a deputy ministerial cadre and a cadre of direct management of the central government, it is published by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.It can be said that compared to the special investigation and special affairs of the anti -corruption in the form of a task force, this round of anti -corruption is more institutionalized and standardized.

The cooperation of the party discipline of the National Law

Second, the comprehensive use of national law and party discipline.According to the information published by the website, you can notice a detail, and its wording uses "Supervision and Investigation" and "Examination and Investigation"."Supervision" is mainly based on the supervision law, which is the national law; the "review" is mainly based on the regulations of the Chinese government's discipline and the party discipline.

Supervision Law on the responsibilities of the Supervision Committee clearly stipulates that "investigating suspected corruption and bribery, abuse of power, negligence, power search, benefit transmission, private fraud, and waste of national financial and financial offerings"Article 11 (Article 2); Disciplinary Regulations give party organizations for discipline review and related authority. "During the disciplinary review, party organizations found that party members had corruption and bribes, abuse of power, negligence of duties, rented power search, benefit transportation, private fraud, wasting the country, wasting the country, and wasting the country.Those who violate the criminal criminals such as illegal laws and others shall be given a cancellation of the duties in the party, staying in the party or expelled from the party "(Article 27).

In contrast to the two, you can see the same matters involving illegal and discipline, and form a linkage relationship between national law and party discipline.This institutional arrangement, combined with the current progress of anti -corruption in this round of anti -corruption, on the one hand, according to the evidence that has been mastered, through the supervision law, investigating the person involved in non -party members (of course includes party members); on the other handSome party members, especially those involved in leading cadres, have applied previously and stricter regulations.This processing model also reflects the trend and achievements of the mainland government's comprehensive and strict governance of the party since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

This round of anti -corruption or covering the entire sports industry

Finally, the scope of anti -corruption may be further expanded.According to the information released by the Central Discipline Inspection Commission's website, on April 4, "Liu Aijie, the former Chairman of the Chinese Rowing Association, the former Chairman of the Chinese Power Rowing Association, was reviewed and investigated";The 15th inspection team launched a mobile inspection of the State General Administration of Sport.Therefore, this round of anti -corruption work in the field of football is likely to radiate to other sports, which will cover the entire sports industry and its related fields.

The 35th meeting of the 13th National People's Congress of the National People's Congress on June 24 last year revised the Sports Law of the People's Republic of China and passed the purpose of sports work.The people -centered, based on the combination of national fitness, combined and improved, promote the balanced and fully developed by the sports industry, and promote the construction of a sports power and a healthy China "(Article 2).

This round of anti -corruption in the field of football is also practicing the spirit of new sports law to some extent.Judging from the performance of the Chinese men's football and the Chinese Football Association in recent years, it will undoubtedly form a huge ratio and difference with national investment and people's expectations.Farly far away from the goal of a sports power and even run counter to the end.

Finally, as an ordinary fan and sports enthusiasts, the author sincerely hopes that through the anti -corruption "cramped" in the field of football, it really establishes "effective mechanisms that dare not rot, can't rot, and don't want to rot."The method of rule of law promotes the long -term construction of sports power and healthy China.
