Big Gun CCDI- Warning For Jiang Zemin?

On February1, The Central Commission for Discipline

Inspection’s(CCDI) stressed severe punishment

for all corruption, so-called"zero tolerance" for corruption.

Feb4, the Commission also issued a warning that for major

corruption cases, they will not only investigate the person

concerned, but also the related leadership.

Some analysts point out that the Chinese authorities have

focused on the former CCP Central Committee Political Bureau

Standing Committee, Vice President Zeng Qinghong,

which points to the ultimate"big tiger"- former Leader

Jiang Zemin.

February4, the CCP official media"Xinhua" reported that

CCDI’s research revealed that some long uncovered, big cases

have become even more corrupt because they were not

processed in many years.

In some places, there are some long-term corrupt triad

gangs with a large number of suspects and covering large

territories that are not being investigated.

The report also said that the CCDI will implement“one case–

two investigations” in the localities, departments and units with

major corruption cases and serious disciplinary offenses.

They will investigate the person concerned and the related

leadership, including the responsibility of the party committee

and the discipline inspection commission.

Although the CCP has not announced the case of the Secretary

of the Central Political and Law Commission, Zhou Yongkang,

he has been said to be a dead tiger, internally.

After Zhou Yongkang‘s henchman from"PetroChina" was

involved in corruption, the case was characterized as the

"PetroChina" group case,

China Mobile, controlled by the former CCP leader Jiang

Zemin’s family, this case was characterized as"China Mobile"

group case on December27,2013.

Recently, the"China Mobile" former Guangdong Chairman and

General Manager Xu Long was checked due to serious

disciplinary problems.

Now, it seems that the Chinese authorities‘anti-corruption

campaign already targets the ultimate"Big Tiger", Jiang Zemin

because the Commission also investigated the leadership.

It is said that the former Vice-President Zeng Qinghong is a

major advisor of Jiang Zemin.

February, Hong Kong"Open" magazine cover story revealed

Zeng Qinghong is the big tiger locked-in by the authorities.

He is the object of the"I Task Force" investigation.

They used the same way to investigate Zeng Qinghong and

Zhou Yongkang, starting from basics.

Currently, they are mainly investigating Zeng Qinghong’s son

Zeng Wei for devouring"Shandong Luneng"70 billion

state-owned assets,

and Zeng Zeng's brother Zeng Qinghuai‘s economic problems

in entertainment.

"Open" cited the news that Zhou Yongkang’s family and

cronies‘corruption involved Zeng Qinghong‘s family.

Zeng Qinghong’s niece Zeng Baobao had been involved in

Zhou Yongkang’s housekeeper Wu Bing's ZhongXu

corruption system chain.

Hong Kong"South China Morning Post" pointed that Zeng

Baobao's father, Zeng Qinghuai is close to Wu Bing and

Zhong Xu,

and has repeatedly funded or co-organized large-scale

cultural activities to help Zeng Qinghuai.

Shandong rights lawyer Li Xiangyang:"The main reason for

corruption in China is because of the CCP‘s autocratic

antihuman system.

The CCP leaders will not give up the authoritarian regime

because it gives them privileges like the emperor."

It is said that Zeng Qinghong helped Jiang Zemin make

suggestions to purge Yang Shangkun,

force Qiao Shi to step down, continue to persecute Falun Gong

and promote Zhou Yongkang.

Zhou Yongkang actively persecuted Falun Gong practitioners,

throughout the whole of society, when he was the Minister of Public

Security and the Secretary of the Central Political and Law Committee.

The Public Security Department became recognized as the darkest

and most corrupt Department.

The opposition between the people and officials is

unprecedentedly fierce.

It is said that the cost of persecuting Falun Gong was equivalent

to that of a war, for the CCP.

US China columnist Ren Baiming:"the current authorities are

very clear that the Falun Gong issue is the core of China's political

situation; everything is a paper war without resolving the Falun

Gong issue.

Investigating economic corruption cases, is in actuality

the rooting out of deeper elements such as Zeng Qinghong

and Jiang Zemin."

US China columnist Ren Baiming pointed out that Jiang Zemin

implemented the corruption ruling in order to allow officials to

act as the vanguard for persecuting Falun Gong.

Ren Baiming:"Jiang Zemin took advantage of the CCP corruption

system to foster and promote corrupt officials to persecute

Falun Gong.

In fact, he made the CCP foundation rot away through corruption.

In this case, investigating Jiang Zemin and corruption to fight

the big tiger is actually catching the essence."

January30, the traditional Chinese New Year's Eve, Jiang

Zemin’s Yangzhou housekeeper, Ji Jianye was expelled from

the Party and transferred to judicial authority.

Political commentator Zhang Sutian pointed out that it is a

sign that the current leader Xi Jinping is fully at war with

Jiang‘s cronies.
