Print Edition
SHANGHAI Vice Mayor Zhou Bo was reprimanded yesterday for violating the Party’s frugality rule, the Communist Party of China’s anti-graft body said.
Zhou, who is a Party group member of the city government, was given a “serious warning” for attending a banquet that had been paid for using public funds, the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said on its website.
The 53-year-old Zhou is in charge of industry, information and technology, commercial affairs, foreign investment and trade, state-owned assets management, power supply as well as work safety.
He was elected vice mayor in February 2013. Before that, he was deputy secretary general of the city government and director of the Shanghai Development and Reform Commission, the city’s top economic planning agency.
The Communist Party of China launched a frugality campaign in December 2012, often referred to as the eight-point rules that is designed to stamp out bureaucracy and extravagance among officials.
Six others, including provincial and ministerial level officials, were disciplined along with Zhou yesterday.
Among them were Lin Chunsong, a vice mayor in south China’s Fujian Province, who has been removed from his post for playing golf.
Lin of Wuyishan City was expelled from the municipal Party leadership, the commission said in a statement. He will be given another position at township level.
Lin played golf 163 times from June 18, 2013 to August 16, 2015, including 12 times during work time. He also let others pay the fees for his game, local authorities said.
Zhang Jianfei, deputy governor of China’s central Hunan Province, was told to pay back the expenses incurred for organizing and taking part in travel and feast with public funds. All the gifts and money were confiscated from him.
Li Jian, deputy director with the Civil Aviation Administration of China, was also reprimanded for playing golf which is banned under the austerity rule.
The disciplinary watchdog said it will keep a close watch on violations as the festive season draws closer.
