The Henan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection released news on Thursday (20) that Yu Donghui, secretary of the Zhengzhou Municipal Political and Legal Committee, is suspected of serious disciplinary violations and is under review and investigation. A month and a half ago, Yu Donghui was publicly reported by Jiang Shumin, president of Henan Longqingxiang apparel, accusing him of soliciting a bribe of 5 million yuan, when a recording of alleged Yu Donghui corruption had come to light.
Hong Tao, a veteran media person, told our reporter that the president of Longqingxiang clothing Jiang Shumin publicly reported this time, because of three factors, such as, usury to get the enterprise into trouble, court staff at all levels not only did not protect the enterprise, but take the opportunity to power rent-seeking, and finally Yu Donghui suspected of personally soliciting bribes.
Hong Tao said: the economic downturn, private enterprise loans, state-owned banks are generally not loaned to it, are borrowed from the private guarantee company to the loan sharks. And this government is the tacit approval, or even connivance, economic disputes, into the court proceedings, standing in the position of the loan shark company judgment, with interest should pay it back, in the name of the law for the loan shark company open eyes. At every turn is several million, tens of millions of interests, is also a common phenomenon, right. The Vice President of Hainan High Court Zhang Jiahui, she is not so? The economic litigation, from which the wealth.
In the recording fiasco that sparked widespread concern, a businesswoman accused Yu Donghui of receiving expensive cordyceps, but since then it has been stabilized by public opinion and the domestic media has been silenced.
Our reporter called the Zhengzhou City Central Court for details of the case, but received no response.
In addition, the Tibetan Discipline Inspection Commission issued a news release on Tuesday (18) that Abu, secretary of the party committee of the Tibetan Department of Justice and former first political commissar of the Tibetan Prison Administration, is under investigation for alleged serious disciplinary violations.
According to Mr. Zhang, a knowledgeable person, Abu has been the vanguard of the crackdown on Tibetan dissidents for nearly 10 years, especially the crackdown on a number of local living Buddhas and their disciples in 2016, and the parties involved were sentenced to more than 20 years in prison. Because of the severe information control, the basic information of the case is still covered up, and they dare not speak out.
Mr. Zhang said: that matter is not easy to tell you, because that matter involves the living Buddha, in 2016, at least the main culprits have not yet come out, (sentenced) 20 years, right, the accomplices sentenced to a light sentence has come out. The ones sentenced to a year or two have already come out. But I can’t tell you about this.
Since Xi Jinping came to power in 2012, there has been a severe purge and purge of the Chinese Communist Party system, with the political and legal systems being the focus of the purge, from Zhou Yongkang to grassroots police officers. So far, few officials have spoken the truth for fear of being purged, a phenomenon that has been criticized as exacerbating the system’s reverse elimination.
