"Whether it is a wife or a son, the initiators are all me, and the failure of the housekeeper to govern the family is also uneducated."
On January 19, the fifth episode of the five-episode TV special "Zero Tolerance," "Forever on the Road," jointly produced by the Propaganda Department of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Central Radio and Television Corporation, was broadcast, in which Zhang Qi, former member of the Standing Committee of the Hainan Provincial CPC Committee and former secretary of the Haikou Municipal CPC Committee, appeared on camera to confess.
Zhang Qi, in 1988, under the call of "100,000 talents going to Hainan", quit his job in his hometown in Anhui to develop in Hainan. Starting from the grassroots level, he has been promoted step by step in the past few decades, successively serving as the secretaries of the danzhou, sanya and haikou municipal party committees. In March 2020, the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection announced that Zhang Qi, former member of the Standing Committee of the Hainan Provincial Party Committee and former secretary of the Haikou Municipal Party Committee, had seriously violated many of the party's disciplines, constituting a serious violation of official duties and suspected of accepting bribes, and had been expelled from the party and punished with public office, and transferred to the judicial organs. In December 2020, the court sentenced Zhang Qi to life imprisonment. After investigation, he used his authority to help others in land development, project contracting, project promotion and other matters, and accepted bribes of more than 107 million yuan.
Most of the money was received through wives and sons
Liu Lifeng, a staff member of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission, said that Zhang Qi's bribe amount was 107 million yuan, which occurred after he became a provincial and ministerial cadre, that is, after 2014, about 101 million yuan. Judging from his political experience, he was also a promising young man, and after becoming a cadre at the provincial and ministerial levels, he had great power in his hands, and at this time he completely forgot who I was and for whom.
According to the feature film, in the power and money transaction channel, of the more than 100 million yuan that Zhang Qi accepted bribes, he directly accepted less than 2 million yuan, and the rest were received through his wife and son, and he took "business investment" as a cover. After the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the central authorities explicitly prohibited the spouses, children, and spouses of leading cadres from doing business and running enterprises within their jurisdiction.
Zhao Junwei, a staff member of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission, said that Zhang Qi's wife Qian Ling and Zhang Qi can be said to be typical of the front shop and the back factory. After he seeks benefits for the boss and the developer, he finds the right opportunity to introduce his family to the boss, and then the boss also knows it and gives him benefits.
According to the feature film, in terms of the specific means of power and money transactions, Zhang Qi uses a variety of seemingly legal shells to package. During his tenure as secretary of the Sanya Municipal Party Committee, he launched a landscape improvement project on a main road, a project with a target amount of hundreds of millions of yuan, and Zhang Hailin, chairman of the winning enterprise, was a related household with Zhang Qi who had interests. On the one hand, Zhang Qi let his wife accept tens of millions of yuan in bribes from Zhang Hailin's enterprise under the packaging of seemingly legal economic behaviors such as "stock speculation" and "financial management"; on the other hand, he covered up the essence of the project approved by Zhang Hailin through superficially compliant bidding procedures.
In addition to his wife, Zhang Qi also pulled his son Zhang Yan into the power and money transaction. Zhang Yan studied in Canada in his early years. In 2012, Zhang Qi went abroad to attend his son's graduation ceremony and let his son accept for the first time a "living expenses" from a boss who accompanied him.
The feature film introduces that at the crossroads of his son's graduation from college and into society, Zhang Qi used his "demonstration" to give his son the first corruption lesson in his life, and thus brought his son to a road of no return that violated discipline and the law. After Zhang Yan returned to China and proposed to do business, Zhang Qi introduced various bosses to him, and once again "borrowed" from the boss to give his son as capital. Luo Haiqiang, the actual controller of Hainan Jianfeng Tourism Development Company, "lent" Zhang Yan 30 million yuan, and in return, Zhang Qi provided help for Luo Haiqiang's enterprises in promoting land acquisition and demolition. Zhang Yan soon became accustomed to relying on his father for nothing, and also began to take the initiative to ask the boss. He traveled back and forth between China and Canada to live a life of luxury and pleasure.
Liu Lifeng introduced that Zhang Qi's son also had a kind of learning, during his life in Canada, he asked his boss for money, asked for hundreds of thousands of Canadian dollars to buy a luxury car, and within a few days this car crashed, and then went to ask people for hundreds of thousands of Canadian dollars to repair the car.
Layout power and wealth continue to be passed on between the two generations
The feature film also introduces that Zhang Qi and some bosses have formed a deep interest bundle relationship for a long time, forming a circle of common corruption. He is not eager to cash in all the benefits of the moment, but carefully laid out the long-term plan for his retirement life and even for his next generation. Zhang Qi also used the power in his hands to seek the status of a deputy to the national people's congress and a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference for the second generation of the boss. In fact, it paved the way for his son's future development, and better strengthened the relationship between his son and these bosses, and the second generation of the bosses, and his purpose was to continue to pass on power and wealth between the two generations.
According to the feature film, in 2019, a boss who is closely related to Zhang Qi was retained, and Zhang Qi had a premonition that he might pull himself out and began to find ways to resist the organization's investigation. After he learned of the situation, he arranged for his son and daughter-in-law to flee To Canada the next day, and also tried to cut the relationship between him and Qian Ling, that is, to protect himself. He contacted a number of private business owners with whom he had improper economic dealings and asked them to leave the country to take refuge. In September 2019, Zhang Qi was filed for review and investigation and taken into custody. Because of the sheer amount of money his son was involved in, China issued a red notice to the world.
Zhang Yan has been hiding in Tibet overseas with a red notice on his back, but many bosses who fled at the behest of Zhang Qi quickly recognized the situation and took the initiative to return to China to cooperate with the investigation. When the power money transaction was found out one by one, Zhang Qi reflected on what he had brought to his wife and son.
Zhang Qi confessed in the feature film: "I ruined this family, originally a family of four generations of the same family, old and young, happy, and now it is fragmented." As a man, be loyal and filial, I am not only unable to be loyal to the country, but also a sinner of the country, and I cannot fulfill filial piety. ”
He also said in the film: "I especially regret this incident, and I also hope to tell my son that he is still young, don't give up on himself, and can return to China as soon as possible to surrender himself." ”
