In a significant move underscoring the Communist Party of China’s (CPC) commitment to anti-corruption, Li Chunliang, a former deputy director of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration, has been expelled from the Party. The decision, announced by the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission on Monday, highlights Li’s severe violations of Party discipline and legal norms. Li, 62, a long-standing Party member since 1984, was found guilty of resisting organizational scrutiny, frequenting private clubs, and failing to disclose personal matters as mandated. His misconduct extended to manipulating cadre selection processes, leveraging his position for personal gain in business operations, project contracting, and administrative approvals, and accepting substantial bribes. Additionally, Li borrowed funds from entities under his supervision and accepted renovation services from them, further breaching ethical and legal boundaries. His case, now involving suspected bribery, has been transferred to procuratorial authorities for legal proceedings. Li’s expulsion marks a continuation of the CPC’s rigorous efforts to maintain integrity and discipline within its ranks.
