[Look at China October 4th, 2021](Look at a comprehensive report by Chinese reporter Miao Wei) After Fu Zhenghua, deputy director of the China Legislative Affairs Commission, was announced on October 2nd, on October 3rd, China’s central enterprisesPetroChinaFormer Vice PresidentLingxiaoSuspected of serious violations of discipline and law,Proactively surrender. Ling Xiao voluntarily resigned a month ago. Some analysts believe that he may have noticed that “something is wrong” and used “voluntary surrender” to strive for leniency.
On October 3, the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Team of China National Petroleum Corporation and the Sichuan Provincial Supervisory Committee disclosed the above news. Exactly a month ago, on the evening of September 3, PetroChina issued an announcement stating that Ling Xiao had submitted his resignation to the company due to personal reasons and resigned from the position of vice president of the company. The resignation takes effect immediately.
Public information shows that Ling Xiao is 57 years old (born in 1964) and has worked in the Chinese petroleum industry for more than 35 years. In August 2004, Western Pipeline Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Western Pipeline), a bureau-level pipeline transportation company under PetroChina, was established. Ling Xiao served as the chairman and general manager of the company, and concurrently served as party secretary in January 2005. In 2016, he served as Secretary of the Party Committee and Deputy General Manager of China National Petroleum and Pipeline Branch; at the end of 2017, he served as Vice President of China National Petroleum Corporation.
After Ling Xiao’s fall, the China Energy Network published an article that Ling Xiao’s resume showed that he had many past positions and frequent changes, and he often held multiple important positions at the same time. However, in October 2020, his title was only the position of vice president of PetroChina. After that, he added this year as a member of the Party Working Committee of the Support Service Subgroup and a member of the Support Service Subgroup Coordination and Coordination Committee.
The article quoted an unnamed oil system insider as saying that this is a very obvious “cutting power” action, and it may be that the discipline inspection organization has already grasped some of his corruption facts.
The insider believed that Ling Xiao took the initiative to resign, probably because he felt something was wrong and tried to land smoothly.
The article pointed out that taking the former secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee Qin Guangrong and the former chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission Liu Shiyu as examples, both of them were suspected of violating discipline and law and voluntarily surrendered in 2019, but due to the circumstances of surrendering, both were treated with leniency.
It is worth mentioning that two days before Ling Xiao’s resignation, Zou Yongsheng, executive deputy general manager of the Southwest Pipeline Company of the National Pipeline Network Group, was investigated and investigated on suspicion of serious violations of discipline and law. Zou Yongsheng was once a subordinate of Ling Xiao.
Zou Yongsheng was born in February 1962 and has served in the China Petroleum Pipeline System for many years. In December 2012, Zou Yong was qualified to serve as Deputy General Manager and Party Committee Member of PetroChina Southwest Pipeline Company. In November 2017, Zou Yong was qualified as the executive deputy general manager and member of the party committee of PetroChina Southwest Pipeline Company. From October 2020 until his fall, Zou Yong was qualified to serve as the executive deputy general manager and member of the party committee of the Southwest Pipeline Company of the National Pipeline Network Group.
The China Petroleum System has always been the site of Zhou Yongkang, the former secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of the Communist Party of China, and it has been in the oil system for 32 years. After Zhou Yongkang was arrested in 2014, China National Petroleum Corporation also expressed its intention to eliminate Zhou Yongkang’s poison. In recent years, a large number of CNPC officials have been dismissed, including former CNPC chairman Jiang Jiemin, general manager Liao Yongchun, deputy general manager Wang Yongchun, former deputy general manager Li Hualin, vice president Ran Xinquan, Sinopec general manager Wang Tianpu, and vice president Cai Xi.
However, there are fewer corrupt officials in the oil system who voluntarily surrendered. The content of Ling Xiao’s involvement in the case and whether it can be exchanged for leniency remain to be followed up by the results of the investigation.
