CCTV Online Review ｜ Severely crack down on ＂political swindlers＂ with so-called ＂backgrounds＂

　　Four episodes of anti-corruption TV feature film "Never Blow the Charge" are being broadcasted by CCTV. The protagonist who appeared in the first episode was Fu Zhenghua, the former Minister of Justice. Apart from the shocking corruption plot, the story of this senior official at the ministerial level being held by a "political liar" for 20 years is even more absurd.

　　The crux of this farce is not how clever or poor the quacks like Shi Xiaochun and Li Quan are, but why Fu Zhenghua was fooled again and again, letting a group of speculators lead by the nose and being fooled by a series of easily-seen lies.

　　The truth is not abstruse, but it is nothing more than the obsession of empleomania and the ignorance of profit. As the saying goes, things will rot and then worms will grow. As the saying goes: no desire is just, selfless and fearless. With unreasonable and illegal selfish desires in mind, it is possible to open a gap for all kinds of "political swindlers", which is "flies don’t bite seamless eggs." Shi Xiaochun and his entourage saw Fu Zhenghua’s "official fan" nature, so that they could rely on the illusion of "background" and "hard background" and the words of "connecting antennas" and "climbing high branches", which made him believe in it for a long time and take the initiative to attach themselves, thinking that he could "take a short path" and "cut corners", but failed to fall into the trap that scammers had already dug.

　　Further study, Fu Zhenghua’s willingness to take the bait is still a concentrated expression of politicians’ failure to observe political discipline and rules and their loss of ideals and beliefs, which leads to the expansion of ambition and the flourishing of power desire. Finally, they are blinded by power desire and lose their most basic political discernment, even normal logical thinking and common sense judgment.

　　There are two sides to the story, and I have to say "fisherman" again. These so-called "political swindlers with backgrounds" cheat money and color. In some places, they are even involved in personnel, pulling mountains and forming circles, and even being named as "underground organization ministers". Their cronyism and cronyism have brought bad cadres in party member, which has seriously polluted the local political ecology and affected the social atmosphere. The harm is huge and the lesson is painful, so we must not ignore it. In his important speech at the Second Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that it is necessary to further improve the laws and regulations for punishing bribery and improve the joint punishment mechanism for bribers. Severely crack down on those so-called "political swindlers" with "backgrounds".

　　Those who are good at killing pests examine their roots, while those who are good at treating diseases eliminate their roots. From the lessons of Fu Zhenghua, party member cadres, especially senior cadres, should think, establish a correct outlook on life, power and achievements, make up the calcium of spirit, stay away from "political swindlers" and be politically sober and sensible. While improving the system and mechanism, we should intensify the investigation and punishment, severely crack down on all kinds of "political swindlers", purify the polluted political ecology, further improve the mechanism of selecting and employing people, break the hidden rules with hard systems, and completely eradicate the living space of "political swindlers".
