News from the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervision Commission Recently, the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision urged the Shaoyang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to seriously investigate and punish 11 party members including Yang Qifan, the former deputy secretary of the Beita District Committee and the former director of the United Front Work Department of the District Committee Cases of serious violations of discipline and law involving officials who violated regulations on eating, drinking, and drunk driving.

After investigation, on the evening of June 2, 2022, Zhang Yiping, then member of the Standing Committee of the Beita District Committee and Director of the District Committee Office of Shaoyang City, illegally organized Zhang Xiong, then deputy secretary-general and deputy director of the office of the Shaoyang Municipal Government, in the name of reporting work. Kang Hui, Chief of the Comprehensive Five Sections of the Government Office (on probation), Yang Qifan, Deputy Secretary of the Beita District Committee and Director of the United Front Work Department, Shao Jiaxiang, Level 4 Researcher of the Beita District Government Office, Huang Jingyu, Director of the Chayuantou Street Office of Beita District, and others Go to a private enterprise to have a meal or drink at an internal venue.

At about 22:50 that night, Yang Qifan was caught by the Shaoyang City Public Security Bureau for driving drunk. The breath alcohol test value was 98mg/100ml. Yang Qifan immediately contacted Luo Wenzhong, the fourth-level senior sergeant of the Shaoyang Traffic Police Detachment, for help. Luo Wenzhong greeted the person in charge of law enforcement at the scene and went to the law enforcement scene. After learning that Yang Qifan was under investigation, Chen Guang, then deputy secretary of the Chengbu County Party Committee and director of the United Front Work Department, Liu Lang, member of the Standing Committee of the Beita District Party Committee and deputy district chief, Li Zaixin, a member of the Party Leadership Group of the Beita District Government, Xiao Kehua, director of the General Duty Office of the Municipal Party Committee, and Private business owner Luo Jingteng (handled another case) went to "help" together. The above-mentioned six people arrived at the law enforcement scene and discussed that Luo Jingteng should take Yang Qifan's place at the hospital to collect blood samples. Later, the law enforcement police at the scene discovered that Yang Qifan might have been "topped." Under the supervision of the public security organs, Yang Qifan went to the hospital for investigation at about 15:00 on June 3 and took a new blood sample at the hospital.

Zhang Yiping and others ignored the municipal party committee's strict prohibition on drinking on working days and organized and participated in eating and drinking in violation of regulations. Chen Guang and others knew that Yang Qifan was suspected of illegal driving while driving under the influence, but they actually participated in finding someone to "back up" the crime, which was serious in nature and had a bad influence. In June 2022, with the approval of the Shaoyang Municipal Party Committee, eight people including Yang Qifan, Zhang Yiping, Zhang Xiong, Chen Guang, Liu Lang, Li Zaixin, Xiao Kehua, and Huang Jingyu were first removed from office and then investigated, and Kang Hui's probationary qualification was cancelled. According to the investigation, starting from October 2022, Zhang Yiping and Shao Jiaxiang were given intra-party warnings, Liu Lang, Xiao Kehua, and Luo Wenzhong were administratively detained for 10 days and fined, and severe intra-party warnings were imposed. Chen Guang and Li Zaixin were administratively detained On the 7th, he was also fined and given a warning within the party. In June 2023, the People's Court of Shuangqing District, Shaoyang City ruled that Yang Qifan was guilty of dangerous driving and was exempted from criminal punishment. After a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Shaoyang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and approval by the Shaoyang Municipal Party Committee, it was decided to expel Yang Qifan from the party; the Shaoyang Municipal Supervisory Committee gave him the sanction of removal from government affairs and demoted him to a first-level clerk.

Yang Qifan and others have no discipline and law, and are obsessed with privileged thoughts and serious charlatanism. This is a typical case that combines violation of the spirit of the eight central regulations and illegality. It reflects the high pressure of a small number of party members and cadres to emphasize the construction of work style after repeated orders from the Party Central Committee and the Provincial Party Committee. Under such circumstances, those who still go their own way, are unscrupulous and ungrateful and challenge the bottom line of discipline and law must be seriously investigated and dealt with.

A report from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision pointed out that party organizations at all levels in the province must firmly shoulder the responsibility of managing and governing the party, pay close attention to the construction of discipline and work style, and put discipline and rules in a more prominent and important position; they must educate and guide party members at all levels Cadres should strengthen their awareness of the rule of law, system, and discipline, strictly operate within the scope of discipline and law, and resolutely ensure that there are no privileges in abiding by laws and regulations, and there are no exceptions in enforcing laws and regulations; they must keep a close eye on the "key minority" and insist on strict education and strict discipline. Management, strict supervision, strengthen supervision and restrictions on power, so that the black box loses room for operation. Party members and cadres across the province, especially leading cadres, must deeply understand that the Eight Provisions of the Central Committee are long-term effective iron rules and hard levers, and are the basic requirements that party members and leading cadres must fulfill; they must firmly establish a correct view of power and insist on using power impartially and in accordance with the law. Use power, use power honestly, use power for the people, consciously fight against the idea and phenomenon of privilege, and ensure that the power granted by the party and the people is not abused; we must correctly handle the relationship between public and private, right and wrong, emotion and law, and resolutely resist and put an end to pulling and pulling. There are "seven problems" such as gossiping, gangs, etc., being an official cleanly, doing things cleanly, and being an honest person.

The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision requires that the province’s discipline inspection and supervision agencies must persevere in implementing the spirit of the central government’s eight regulations and continue to advance the special campaign of “two leaders and five rectifications” to correct corruption and prevent corruption. Public officials suspected of drunk driving will be investigated and dealt with by judicial organs in accordance with the law. It is necessary to thoroughly investigate the "four winds", interest transfer and other issues behind them, and use a firm attitude, powerful measures, and decisive actions to promote the implementation of special actions. It is necessary to effectively increase the intensity of supervision and discipline enforcement and punishment, and strictly investigate and punish those who are ungrateful, violate disciplines, and "play privileges", and report and expose them, sending a strong signal that they will become stricter in the future. We must dare to be good at fighting, regard the establishment of clear and clear comradely relations as an important basic task for comprehensively and strictly governing the party, resolutely rectify the "small gangs" of fraternity, the "small circles" of nepotism, and the "small hills" of cliques, so that the party can Gay relationships within the party become more pure and natural, and the political ecology within the party is always full of righteousness.
