CHEN Shulong has been expelled from the Communist Party of China and dismissed from public office for actions including “superstitious activities” and trading power for sex, an official statement said yesterday.

The former vice governor of east China’s Anhui Province was found to “completely lack political beliefs,” and severely violated the Party’s code of conduct and rules as well as long abusing his power to seek “huge profits,” according to a statement from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

“Chen Shulong was driven by a lust for power and money, and his outlook on the world, life and values were severely twisted,” it said.

The CCDI added that not only had Chen refused to cooperate in the Party’s investigation, he had engaged in superstitious activities on numerous occasions, used public funds for his own recreational activities and falsified personal information submitted to Party organs.

Chen traded power for sex and money, and crossed the moral line, the statement said. He also connived with his relatives to seek “huge profits” for themselves.

Chen was also found to have intervened in market economic activities and judicial affairs, accepted gifts, money and used his influence to seek benefits for others. He is also suspected of having taken bribes, the CCDI said.

“As a high-level official, Chen was politically clinging to power, economically insatiable and morally bankrupt. Even after the 18th CPC National Congress, he still showed no sign of restraint and (his wrongdoings) were of a grave nature,” said the statement.

Chen will not serve as a delegate to the Party’s 18th National Congress, and sanctions against him have been approved by the CPC Central Committee.

His illegal gains will be confiscated and his case transferred to the judiciary. Chen was put under investigation by the CCDI on April 7.
