鈥楳odel鈥 official under investigation
Print Edition
A DEPUTY Party chief in southwest China鈥檚 Yunnan Province is being investigated for alleged serious violation of Party discipline and law, China鈥檚 top anti-graft body said yesterday.
The announcement came just one day after Qiu He, 58, attended a meeting of the provincial delegation to the National People鈥檚 Congress.
During the meeting, he had said that China鈥檚 political system ensured the cleanest central and regional governments in the world.
When he became deputy Party chief in Kunming, the provincial capital, in December 2007, he had said: 鈥淥fficials have to be fair and honest and that is what people are expecting. As a city leader, I have to be a model and I hope officials to study from me.鈥
He had also said that his 鈥済overning philosophy鈥 was managing officials before 鈥渞unning society.鈥
He became known for demanding discipline from his employees.
The Southern Weekly newspaper said Qiu had begun his political career by 鈥渢oppling corrupt officials.鈥
When he was deputy mayor and Party chief in Suqian in east China鈥檚 Jiangsu Province from 1996 to 2006, he dismissed several senior officials, including the Party chief in Shuyang County. The newspaper said that he had questioned and punished more than 1,200 corrupt officials in Kunming.
His 鈥渟trong-arm鈥 style had won praise, the newspaper said, but also criticism.
During his tenure in Suqian, he had ordered teachers in Shuyang to cultivate investors and bring in money.
He had also imposed a demolition plan in rural areas, aiming to promote urbanization, it reported.
After he went to Kunming, he became increasingly enthusiastic about demolition, it said.
The Legal Evening News said the demolition of 336 villages in the capital鈥檚 downtown area had begun in February 2008, just two months after his arrival. He is also said to have sold land on which a hospital and a school had stood.
He gained a reputation of selling anything he could, according to the Honest Outlook magazine. Local people even posted banners in front of the government office calling for his execution. But he said the minority had to obey the majority, the magazine said.
Some of his colleagues were also against his demolition plans.
Zhang Zulin, former Kunming mayor and current provincial vice governor, was reported as saying: 鈥淪ome of our demolition projects are less than fair to people.鈥
And in 2013, provincial Party chief Qin Guangrong criticized Qiu as 鈥渦ndervaluing law鈥氣 in his management, according to the magazine.
