The website of the Jiangsu Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision recently released a message: Liu Qixiang, a former judge of the Jiangsu Provincial High People's Court who has retired for nearly 22 years, is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law and is currently undergoing investigation and investigation. Regardless of the length of retirement time, supervision, discipline enforcement, and accountability will not be left blank. This also rings the alarm for the vast number of party members and cadres, as long as they touch the red line of discipline and law, break through the restricted areas of minefields, there will eventually be a day when things are exposed. It is not uncommon for retired individuals to undergo review and investigation due to violations of discipline and laws, receive party and government sanctions, and even be held criminally responsible. After retiring for 10 years, Wu Cha, former deputy director of the Standing Committee of the People's Congress of Baiyin City, Gansu Province, accepted the review and investigation; After retiring for 8 years, Liu Zhangjun, the former director of the China Banking Regulatory Commission's Office for Dealing with Illegal Fundraising, was investigated; After retiring for 8 years, Dong Xuefeng, the former inspector of the Liaoning Provincial Public Security Department, was expelled from the party due to serious violations of discipline and law... The facts have repeatedly proven that retirement is not a safe deposit box for corruption, and corruption must be dealt with, and corruption must be eliminated. No one can take chances. For corrupt individuals, retirement is just a time point and does not mean a "safe landing". Taking a comprehensive look at the cases of retired cadres being investigated and punished in various regions, some have committed disciplinary and illegal acts while in office, attempting to use retirement to evade punishment, and deluding them to "retire, retire, and retire" until the end of the "window incident"; Some in office do not receive retirement income and use retirement as a cover, staging "option style corruption"; There are also those who do not want to be lonely and give up their power, either after retirement, they work in enterprises within their original business jurisdiction to reap benefits and rewards, or act as intermediaries or brokers, using the influence of their positions during their tenure to greet, deliver notes, run projects, and even intervene in organizational personnel arrangements. There is no 'safe zone' for violating discipline and law. Party members and cadres must always be vigilant, introspective and self motivated, and strictly prevent the occurrence of ideological "pathological changes", such as the idea of "having a good time after half a lifetime of hard work" and "having freedom after retirement", in order to relax their demands on themselves and lead to a lack of security during the holidays. The sword of anti-corruption and punishment has always been hanging high, and being investigated for corruption after retirement is no longer a new thing. The fight against corruption has a long-term and arduous nature, and it should be carried out with perseverance and determination that are always on the way, promoting the unity of not daring to corrupt, not wanting to corrupt, and not wanting to corrupt. We need to continuously enrich supervision methods, increase investigation and punishment efforts, improve supervision accuracy, and form effective deterrence. We need to continuously strengthen the supervision and management of departing public officials, conduct exit audits, and focus on issues and decision-making during their tenure to prevent them from leaving due to illness. We also need to closely monitor key areas and key links, investigate situations such as sudden stock purchases and illegal re employment, and cut off the path of corruption after retirement. The requirement of leaving the job without leaving the Party, retirement without fading, and integrity in public service is not for a while but for a lifetime. Whether in service or retirement, party members and cadres must adhere to the principles of party spirit, strictly abide by party discipline and regulations, and consciously work and live in a supervised and constrained environment. Keeping in mind the lessons of the past, retired party members and cadres should especially clarify what "can be done" and what "cannot be done", know awe, be cautious, and keep the bottom line, and always maintain the true nature of Communist Party members.
