In a series of feature films by the CCP’s Yunnan Discipline Inspection Commission, former Yunnan Provincial Party Secretary Qin Guangrong admitted that he was a sinner in the historical development of Yunnan. However, Qin, who was lightly sentenced to seven years by Beijing authorities, once relied on his official contacts to arrogantly confront the “anti-corruption” campaign jointly promoted by Xi Jinping and Wang Qishan.
