On December 27, 2015 (November 17, 2015 in the lunar calendar), the former chairperson of China Unicom was arrested by Chang Xiaobing. Chang Xiaobing On December 27, 2015, the website of the Supervision Department of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection released a message: The former party secretary and chairperson of China United Network Communication Group Co., Ltd., and now the party secretary and chairperson of China Telecom group company, Chang Xiaobing, are suspected of serious disciplinary violations and are currently under investigation by the organization. When everyone is accustomed to anti-corruption, Chang Xiaobing's downfall still grabbed the news "headlines" at the end of the year. On the one hand, Chang Xiaobing is labeled "state-owned enterprise, vice ministerial level" - you know, 2015 is the year of anti-corruption of state-owned enterprises; on the other hand, it is hard to hide people's curiosity: Chang Xiaobing, will be the last tiger shot down by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in 2015! Who is Chang Xiaobing after Chang Xiaobing's fall? According to public information, Chang Xiaobing became deputy general manager and deputy secretary of the party group of China Telecom group company in 2000; in 2004, he became chairperson and party secretary of China United Communications Co., Ltd.; after the reorganization of Telecom in 2008, he served as chairperson of China Unicom after the merger of China Unicom Group and Netcom Group; in August 2015, he was transferred to the chairperson and party secretary of China Telecom group company. There seems to be no sign of his downfall: according to media reports, in mid-December 2015, Chang Xiaobing also "showed his face" in Wuzhen. In an interview with reporters at the Internet Light Expo held in Wuzhen, Chang Xiaobing's state was also "hands in his pockets, always with a relaxed face and a smile". After a relaxed face, Chang Xiaobing still did not escape the "eyes" of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. So, the question is, at this time, only four months after he was transferred to China Telecom, when did Chang Xiaobing violate discipline? Although the notice issued by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection did not mention this at all, there are still clues to follow: the notice not only clarified Chang Xiaobing's current position, but also mentioned his original position. In this regard, some media analysts said that for the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, which cherishes words like gold, this may not be an inadvertent move. Chang Xiaobing has been in charge of China Unicom for 11 years. At the end of 2014, during the visit of the Eighth Inspection Team of the Central Committee to China Unicom, Zong Xinhua, the former general manager of Unicom's informatization and e-commerce business department, and Zhang Zhijiang, the former deputy general manager of the network branch and former general manager of the network construction department, were dismissed for suspected serious violations of discipline. Subsequently, the China Unicom Party Group informed the inspection and rectification situation and investigated 88 relevant personnel. On February 5, 2015, when the Central Inspection Team gave feedback on the inspection opinions to the leadership team of China Unicom, Ning Yanling, the leader of the Eighth Inspection Team, particularly emphasized that the main person in charge should catch the young early, grasp the team well, manage the team well, and earnestly assume the responsibility of the first responsible person for the construction of party style and clean government. On December 28, following the statement of China Telecom, China Unicom said through the official Weibo: The China Unicom Party Group resolutely supports the decision of the central government and resolutely implements the requirements of comprehensive and strict governance of the party. It is still the same reason: if the team is not well led, the squad leader cannot run. A "main battlefield" for Chang Xiaobing's fall against corruption As a state-owned enterprise executive, Chang Xiaobing's fall is no accident. As early as the beginning of the year, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection had already made arrangements: make state-owned enterprises the key "battlefield" of anti-corruption in 2015, and whoever reaches out will be arrested. On February 11, 2015, the Central Committee held the first round of inspection work mobilization meeting in 2015. It was determined that the first round of inspections would take the form of "one care and two care" to inspect 26 important state-owned backbone enterprises and financial enterprises under the central management. 26 inspections! This number is more than double the sum of the past two years. In the past two years, the Central Inspection Team has inspected a total of 12 state-owned enterprises and central enterprises, of which 8 were also the target of the third round of special project inspections in the second half of 2014. Why expand to 26 in 2015? In the opinion of Xin Ming, a professor at the Central Party School, 2015 is a "critical year" for comprehensively deepening reform. At such a time node, choosing to inspect and cover all key state-owned enterprises under the management of China is not only to eliminate corruption, but also to clear up obstacles for deepening the reform of state-owned enterprises. "Shoot the horse first, catch the thief and catch the king first." According to statistics, in 2015, under the special project inspection storm, a number of central enterprise executives were identified, including: Xu Jianyi, former chairperson of China First Automobile group company, Liao Yongheng, former general manager of China Petroleum and Natural Gas group company, Wang Tianpu, former general manager of China Petrochemical group company, Deng Qilin, former chairperson of Wuhan Iron and Steel (Group) Company, Zhu Fushou, former general manager of Dongfeng Motor Company, and Si Xianmin, former deputy secretary of the party group and general manager of China Southern Airlines group company. In addition to these tigers, there are also many "middle and high-level" people who have been sacked in state-owned enterprises, and some also show the characteristics of chain corruption. If the moths of state-owned enterprises are not eliminated, it will definitely affect the reform process of state-owned enterprises. In June 2015, the Central Committee's Deep Restructuring Group meeting deliberated and approved the "Several Opinions on Adhering to the Party's Leadership and Strengthening Party Building in Deepening the Reform of State-owned Enterprises" and "Opinions on Strengthening and Improving the Supervision of State-owned Assets in Enterprises to Prevent the Loss of State-owned Assets"; in September, the "Guiding Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Deepening the Reform of State-owned Enterprises" were released. These all demonstrate the determination of the Central Committee to eradicate the soil of corruption in state-owned enterprises.
