Latest inspections find corruption still a problem

CHINA’S top disciplinary body says it discovered weak leadership and corrupt officials being promoted during inspections of four provincial-level regions.

The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection began a new round of inspections last November covering Beijing and Chongqing municipalities, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Gansu Province. All four had been inspected previously.

The latest inspections found weak Party leadership, inappropriate promotions, violations of frugality rules and “alarming” space for corruption at state-owned enterprises and other sectors, among other problems, the commission said.

In Beijing, inspectors found that issues identified in the previous inspection — related to Lu Xiwen, the former Beijing deputy Party chief who has been charged with corruption — had not been dealt with in a timely manner.

Some problems uncovered during the previous inspection, including low-level officials involved in huge corruption, improper selection and appointment of officials, and violations of frugality rules, were found to have recurred, the commission said.

In Chongqing, the “pernicious influence” of Bo Xilai, a former Party chief, and Wang Lijun, former police chief and vice mayor, “have not been wiped out completely,” and corruption at SOEs “remains severe.”

In Guangxi, inspectors found that some sectors, including land, transport, forestry and SOEs, were more prone to be corrupt, and in Gansu, risks of corruption were high in sectors such as transport, civil aviation, land and culture.
