Politics of Hengyang
The Politics of Hengyang in Hunan province in the People's Republic of China is structured in a dual party-government system like all other governing institutions in mainland China.
The Mayor of Hengyang is the highest-ranking official in the People's Government of Hengyang or Hengyang Municipal Government. However, in the city's dual party-government governing system, the Mayor has less power than the Chinese Communist Party Committee Secretary of Hengyang, colloquially termed the "CCP Party Chief of Hengyang" or "Communist Party Secretary of Hengyang".
Because of one party dictatorship and no political enemies, Hengyang has become a serious area of corruption. One mayor and three CCP Committee Secretaries has been placed under investigation by the Chinese Communist Party's internal control body, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI).[1]
History[edit]
On December 8, 2013, Chen Anzhong was dismissed, arrested and investigated for corruption by the CCDI. He is the first prefecture-level official in Hengyang sacked for graft since Xi Jinping's continues an anti-graft dragnet at all levels of government, military and ruling Communist Party.[2][3]
On December 18, 2013, Tong Mingqian was placed under investigation by the CCDI for "serious violations of laws and regulations".[4]
In April 2016, Li Yilong was put under investigation for alleged "serious violations of discipline and laws." by the CCDI.[5][6]
On November 8, 2016, Zhang Wenxiong was put under investigation for alleged "serious violations of discipline", the CCDI said in a statement on its website, without elaborating.[7]
