The latest issue of a magazine sponsored by the Chinese Communist Party’s Department of Discipline Inspection and Supervision describes the “secret” of Zhu Yingfu, a former press officer and fourth-ranking chief of the propaganda department of the Guixi Municipal Committee of Jiangxi Province, who became the local “underground organization minister.
According to China Discipline Inspection and Supervision magazine, although Zhu Yingfu is not high ranking, but because he is engaged in photojournalism, he has long followed the leaders to various occasions, and has different degrees of interaction with many officials in Guixi, with intricate social relations, gradually forming a “circle” headed by him and political influence.
Zhu Yingfu took advantage of his relationship with Guixi officialdom to greet “relevant leaders” for dozens of people in the circle in terms of promotion and job adjustment, and to suppress and exclude people outside the circle, even the local Public Security Bureau, City Bureau and other department officials want to be promoted, they have to ask him.
The CPC Yingtan Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection received in 2019, the Communist Party of China Central Committee to eliminate black and evil supervision group transferred to reflect Zhu Yingfu’s problem clues. Zhu Yingfu then fell from the horse. He was sentenced to eight years in prison in December 2020. Court documents say that Zhu Yingfu illegally gained more than 15 million yuan in benefits through meddling in engineering projects, lending and interfering in the selection of cadres over a total of 18 years from 1998 to 2015, and that 85 local Communist Party officials were involved in the case.
According to the above report, Zhu Yingfu became an “underground minister of organization” who could influence and even decide the political future of local officials, without the support of some more powerful people “on the ground”. If the “ground” of the powerful people just false alarm, unharmed, it can not be said that the case is really finished. I don’t know if there will be another round of shocks in the official circles of Guixi City, Jiangxi Province.
It is not only the norm for officials to protect each other in the Chinese Communist Party officialdom. It is not uncommon to see “foxes and tigers” and “political fixers”. For example, Ding Shumiao, a businesswoman in the case of Minister of Railways Liu Zhijun, was originally unknown, but rose to prominence by climbing on Liu Zhijun’s bandwagon and became Liu’s agent in the railroad system; Su Hongbo, a businessman from Yunnan, was treated as a guest by Bai Enpei and Qin Guangrong, the two provincial party secretaries of Yunnan, and became the local “underground minister of organization”. There were even stories of vice provincial officials being slapped by him and swallowing their anger.
In addition, after the fall of Su Rong, the former secretary of the CPC Jiangxi Provincial Committee, the land media also revealed that Guo Hai, the former station chief of the Jiangxi reporter station, used the opportunity to cover stories around Su Rong for a long time and became a “political fixer” step by step, and the relationship between the two sides exceeded the normal provincial party newspaper “with the secretary”. The reporter.
It is alleged that when Su Rong went to the local research work, Guo Hai would accompany him. Guo Hai and Su Rong’s wife Yu Lifang acquaintance, often meddling in personnel arrangements, also known as the “underground organization minister”. When Su Rong was in charge of Jiangxi, as long as Guo Hai made a phone call, you can call a table of department-level cadres to sit together for dinner. When Su Rong was in office, Guo Hai’s office was made to look like a club, often with a full house, with all kinds of people, and Su Rong’s wife would occasionally visit.
The Chinese Communist Party’s Commission for Discipline Inspection exposed itself as a “political fixer” to prevent internal forces from challenging the authority of the current regime, but it also exposed the ugly ecology of the Communist Party’s officialdom.
