Nguyen Thanh Giang, a researcher at the Erosov Isaf Issa East South Asian Research Institute in Singapore, said in an interview with Lianhe Morning Post that the move showed that the more corrupt officials who played the role of "godfather" in public investment projects.
Ruan Qingjiang said: "For a long time, some officials have manipulated the bidding process and even organized 'false bidding' to help people with connections to win the bids to gain millions of dollars from it."
Vietnam's anti -corruption campaign named "furnace" has been burning and vigorous in recent years, which has led to hundreds of senior officials including deputy prime ministers, ministers and mayor, and corporate executives were sued or forced to step down.
On March 20th, Vietnam President Wu Wenzhan resigned for the last year of Vietnam. There are several articles that have been deleted."The officials of the men's illegal discipline" seemed to show the reason why he stepped down.
Fan Taihe is Wang Tinghui's long -term assistant and close relatives. He was arrested and it was likely to affect Wang Tinghui's career.
Ruan Qingjiang said: "More than ten days ago, there were rumors in Vietnamese media that Fan Taihe accompanied Wang Tinghui to visit China and returned to Vietnam and was detained by the police, indicating that Wang Tinghui was weakened."
Ruan Qingjiang pointed out that a document released by the Vietnam in 2017 stipulated that officials "lack of management and supervision of subordinates, and making errors in key personnel selection" will trigger internal discipline sanctions.
Ruan Qingjiang said: "If Wang Tinghui has the ambition to become the next general secretary, then it seems extremely difficult now because the official media has disclosed the crime that his assistant is suspected."
