Sun’s sacking endorsed at 7th plenum
Print Edition
A DECISION to expel Sun Zhengcai and 11 other senior officials has been endorsed by the Seventh Plenary Session of the Party’s 18th Central Committee on Saturday.
Sun, former Party secretary of Chongqing, was removed from his post and put under investigation in July.
A subsequent investigation found he had betrayed Party principles and lost political stance, ignoring the Party code of conduct and rules.
He was found to have seriously violated the Party’s eight-point code on frugality and “maintaining close ties with the masses, seeking pomp, ostentation and privileges.”
Sun was also held accountable for nepotism and seeking benefits in the selection of officials. He was found to have leaked confidential Party information and seriously breached Party rules on integrity.
He took advantage of his power and influence to seek benefits for others, accepted a “huge amount” of money and gifts in return, sought substantial benefits for his relatives’ businesses and accepted valuable gifts.
Investigators accused Sun of bureaucracy and sloth in work and degradation and power-for-sex trades in life.
Last month, the Politburo expelled Sun from the Party and dismissed him from public office.
Sun leads a list of 12 names, all former senior Party officials whose expulsions from the Party were endorsed at the plenum.
