Double life of fallen Shandong official highlighted in CCDI article

Wang Min, a former senior official in east China’s Shandong Province who was implicated in a corruption investigation late last year, allegedly indulged in his personal life and colluded with businesses to gain profit for his family.

Wang, a former Standing Committee member of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Shandong Provincial Committee and Party chief of Jinan, capital of Shandong, was said to be an official of integrity in his subordinates’ eyes, according to an article on the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) website yesterday.

The article went on to allege that Wang, an alternate member of the CPC Central Committee, was indeed “clean and honest” in his own constituency. He was said to have banned family members from getting involved in businesses or meddling in government affairs in Jinan.

Outside Jinan, however, he reportedly led a decadent life by colluding with Zhao, head of a real estate company.

In June 2014, Wang allegedly “sought pleasure” in Zhao’s private club in Beijing during a study session at the CPC Central Committee Party School.

Six months later in December, Wang was put under graft investigation by the CCDI. On February 17, he was expelled from the CPC and dismissed from public office.

The CCDI found Wang took advantage of his posts to seek benefits for businesses of his relatives and friends, violating Party rules and codes of conduct. He was also found to have taken advantage of his posts to seek profits for others and accepted huge bribes in return for favors in the selection of officials and enterprise operations.

The statement said his “vile” wrongdoings continued after the 18th CPC National Congress in late 2012, and his case has been transferred to judiciary.

Tuesday’s article also stated that Wang accepted more than 173 gift shopping cards following the 18th Party congress, accounting for a quarter of the entire sum of the accepted cards, and more than 12 percent of the bribery received by Wang occurred after the congress which saw Xi Jinping, who vowed intensified graft fight, take the Party helm.
