New forms of corruption and hidden corruption, investigate thoroughly!
Recently, the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision publicly reported six typical cases of leading cadres using their power or influence to engage in illegal business activities. These cases share common features of concealed and disguised disciplinary and legal violations, where leading cadres holding public power or their relatives and specific associates seek large illegal profits through investment shares, partnerships, private lending, market transactions, etc. Essentially, this is still an abuse of public power and a transaction of power for money. The investigation and public reporting of these cases sends a strong signal that no matter how concealed or innovative the methods are, corruption will inevitably be punished by party discipline and national law, ultimately resulting in loss of both reputation and wealth.
Look beyond the surface to understand the essence, and see through the various tricks and methods of new and hidden corruption, which are essentially transactions of power for money.
· Some "Zero capital shareholding, guaranteed profit," using power or influence to give illegal businessmen special favors in engineering projects, holding shares in project companies without real investment but participating in dividends;
· Some "Political-business integration, one family two systems," using power to undertake projects, establishing entities to solicit business, and engaging in illegal commercial activities;
· Some Using "shadow companies" and "shadow shareholders" to hide behind the scenes, holding shares in the name of relatives or specific associates, manipulating behind the scenes, appearing under others' names but actually owned by themselves;
· Some Using legal forms to cover illegal purposes, lending funds to managed service objects for high returns, and using the "borrow chicken to hatch eggs" method to conceal illegal profits;
· Some Realizing "deferred satisfaction" through "option monetization";
· Some Engaging in political-business "revolving doors," "escape-style resignations," and so on.
These behaviors are highly indirect, market-oriented, concealed, and deceptive. Behind them are corrupt individuals using their power or influence to seek rent, monetize power, severely polluting the local political ecology, disrupting market order, damaging the development environment, and harming fairness and justice.
Develop sharp insight, improve supervision, discipline enforcement, and law enforcement capabilities, and promptly detect and investigate new and hidden corruption. No matter how innovative the corruption methods are, how carefully designed the corruption paths are, or how the corrupt benefits are transferred and transformed, the essence of new and hidden corruption as transactions of power for money will not change. We must firmly grasp this essential characteristic, cultivate penetrating thinking, and be good at revealing the essence of disciplinary and legal violations through complex behavioral appearances. Continuously broaden channels for discovering clues, deepen cooperation with market supervision, taxation, judiciary, auditing, finance, and other related departments based on smooth public reporting channels, use big data analysis and other technological means to unravel the truth, analyze the connections among key personnel's "power, assets, and networks," improve the ability to obtain case clues from economic activities, and deeply investigate the underlying power-money transaction issues. Focus supervision, discipline enforcement, and law enforcement on key areas with concentrated power, intensive funds, and abundant resources such as state-owned enterprises, finance, and bidding, closely monitor the "key few" such as top leaders, and strictly investigate issues of corruption involving the spouses, children, their spouses, and close staff of leading cadres using their influence for personal gain.
Continuously eliminate the breeding ground for new and hidden corruption, compress its living space, and improve the effectiveness of corruption governance. Strengthen the implementation of systems and mechanisms to prevent conflicts of interest, urge the enforcement of regulations on leading cadres' spouses, children, and their spouses managing businesses, reporting of leading cadres' violations involving interference in important matters, and interim measures for party member leaders to prevent conflicts of interest. According to the principle of "the higher the level, the more important the position, the greater the power, the stricter the management regulations," strictly set prohibitive and restrictive negative lists for leading cadres' close associates engaging in business, regularly inspect the implementation of these systems, and promptly identify and correct problems. Adhere to promoting reform and governance through cases, strengthen warnings and deterrence, deeply investigate the root causes of corruption, promote plugging institutional loopholes, and compress the space for power rent-seeking. Strengthen education, management, and supervision of party member leaders, urge them to enhance family education and family traditions, maintain normal political-business interactions, and always exercise power impartially, lawfully, cleanly, and for the people.
