CHINA-CCP: CDIC INCLUDES "BETRAYAL OF TWO SAFEGUARDS" FOR FIRST TIME WHILE ANNOUNCING EXPULSION FROM CCP OF FORMER SENIOR JIANGXI OFFICIAL

The Central Discipline Inspection Commission on October 30 disclosed that 'Li Xiaobao, former secretary of the party group and director of the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, was "double-opened". It said, "Li Xiaobao lost his ideals and beliefs, betrayed the "two safeguards", engaged in "seven possessions", organized "small circles" and "small gangs", implemented major decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, made discounts, made flexible arrangements, and failed to implement comprehensive and strict governance of the party". It accused him of "Disregarding the interests of the masses, engaging in formalism and bureaucracy; ignoring the spirit of the eight central regulations, accepting gifts and gifts in violation of regulations, accepting banquets, travel and entertainment arrangements that may affect the fair execution of official duties; Money and sex transactions; greed, collusion between officials and businessmen, large-scale power and money transactions, and illegal acceptance of huge amounts of property". It said, "Li Xiaobao seriously violated the 7 party's political discipline, the spirit of the eight central regulations, organizational discipline, integrity discipline, mass discipline, work discipline, and life discipline” and had been expelled from the party. (Comment: This is probably the first political verdict to mention the "two safeguards" after they were included in the Party Charter at the just concluded 20th Party Congress. Li Xiaobao was born in August 1968, in Yongxing, Hunan, obtained a doctoral degree and started working in July 1988, and joined the Communist Party of China in January 1995.
