The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) and National Supervisory Commission announced on Sunday the initiation of a disciplinary probe into Yin Jianye, Vice-Chairman of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) Jiangxi Provincial Committee. The investigation concerns alleged serious violations of Party discipline and laws, marking another high-profile case in China’s ongoing anti-corruption campaign.
Yin Jianye, 62, a member of the Bai ethnic group and native of Yunnan province, has maintained a long political career since joining the Communist Party of China in 1985. His professional journey began in 1986, culminating in his transfer to Jiangxi province in October 2015 after extensive service in Yunnan.
During his tenure in Yunnan, Yin held several significant positions including Director of the Provincial Audit Department, Party Chief of Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, and Vice Governor of Yunnan. Following his relocation to Jiangxi, he ascended through provincial leadership roles serving as Vice Governor, Member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Jiangxi Provincial Committee, and Head of the Commission for Political and Legal Affairs. He assumed his current position as CPPCC Vice-Chairman in 2022.
This investigation continues a pattern of disciplinary actions against senior Jiangxi political figures. In June 2025, former CPPCC Jiangxi Vice-Chairman Hu Youtao faced similar scrutiny, resulting in his expulsion from the Party by December of that year, with his bribery case subsequently transferred to judicial authorities.
Another former vice-chairman, Hu Qiang, underwent investigation in February 2024, leading to his expulsion from the Party in August that year. By September 2025, he received a 13-year prison sentence for bribery in his first trial, demonstrating the serious consequences for such violations.
