Corruption crackdown credited with big results
MORE than 4.2 million government officials, including 465 ministerial and provincial-level ones, have been punished for violating Party discipline between 1982 and 2011, authorities announced in Hong Kong.
Among the 465 ranking officials, 90 were punished for corruption, Cui Hairong, vice director of the National Bureau of Corruption Prevention, said at a meeting last Friday.
Four of them were executed. They were Cheng Kejie, former deputy president of the Standing Committee of the National Congress; Zheng Xiaoyu, former head of China's Food and Drug Administration; and Hu Changqing and Wang Huaizhong, former deputy governors in Jiangxi and Anhui provinces.
Cheng took more than 40 million yuan (US$6.34 million) from property bosses, followed by Zheng who received 6.49 million yuan and Wang who accepted 5.17 million yuan of bribes.
In the last nine years, more than 42,000 government officials have come under criminal investigation for corruption, including Chen Liangyu, Shanghai's ex-Party chief. He was sentenced to 18 years behind bars for engaging in a social security funds scandal involving tens of billions of yuan. His downfall ensnared nearly 30 other people, including civil servants and high-ranking officials from state-owned companies and private enterprises.
In 2011, 4,843 government officials were punished for giving favoritism to others and gaining ill-got money, according to Cui.
