The Supreme People's Procuratorate announced on December 13 that the case of Li Jinzhu, former deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Shaanxi Provincial People's Congress, was investigated by the National Supervision Commission and transferred to the procuratorate for review and prosecution.
A few days ago, the Supreme People's Procuratorate made a decision to arrest Li Jinzhu on suspicion of ** crime in accordance with the law. The case is being further processed.
Li Jinzhu was born in February 1955, a native of Cangzhou, Hebei Province, and started working in February 1982.
Dealing with coal for decades
In 1982, Li Jinzhu graduated from the Department of Geological Surveying of Liaoning Fuxin Mining Institute (now Liaoning Technical University) with a bachelor's degree in engineering.
Since then, Li Jinzhu has been dealing with coal for decades. He served as the Director of the Office, Vice President and Secretary of the Party Committee of the General Coal Research Institute of the Ministry of Coal Industry, and the Secretary of the Party Committee and Vice Chairman of China Coal Science and Technology Group.
In November 2001, Li Jinzhu was appointed Director of the General Office of the National Academy of Administration. From February 2004 to April 2006, he served as the Director of the General Office and the Director of the Research Department of the National Academy of Administration, and served as the Deputy Secretary of the Baoji Municipal Party Committee, and then stayed in Shaanxi Province.
Li Jinzhu once said that his stay in Shaanxi was "completely accidental". According to a person who has crossed paths with Li Jinzhu, what Li Jinzhu said is the truth, and he had already planned it at the beginning, and he would return to Beijing as soon as he finished his temporary post. However, the leaders of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee suddenly talked to Li Jinzhu and asked him to stay in Shaanxi and go to work in Yulin.
According to the above-mentioned person, the reason why Li Jinzhu was ordered to go to Yulin was because a fierce battle broke out in the local officialdom. The focus of the struggle is the control of the Y coal mine, which is worth tens of billions. At that time, there were leaders in the province who pushed the integration plan of Y Coal Mine, and intended to let a "well-known foreign company" control Y Coal Mine, but some ** in Yulin fiercely opposed it, believing that the local area was fully capable of independent development and did not need outsiders to intervene. The deputy mayor of Yulin, who is in charge of coal, said that he was excited in the conference hall of the municipal party committee, and he actually took the case. Although the attitude of the then mayor of Yulin, Wang Zhizhi, was not as agitated as his deputy, he was also opposed to relinquishing control of the Y coal mine. Later, Wang Jiji was transferred out of Yulin and reappointed as the director of the Provincial Department of Land and Resources. The vehemently opposed deputy mayor was transferred to a second-level bureau in the province as deputy director.
Looking back more than 10 years later, many heavyweights in the two forces have fallen from power, and it is difficult to explain the merits and demerits. Wang Jiji, the mayor at the time who represented the local faction of Yulin, was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2016 for ** crimes. Zhu Zuoli, who served as the executive deputy director of the provincial government (department level), was one of the key roles in the implementation of the plan to promote the integration of Y coal mines. Since then, Zhu Zuoli has served as the provincial director, vice chairman of the provincial CPPCC, and in 2014, Zhu Zuoli fell off.
In the context of that time, Li Jinzhu entered the field of vision of relevant leaders and became the successor of Wang Registration. A local politician analyzed that Li Jinzhu was originally a Beijing official, and he had no intersection with the local forces in Yulin, and was able to meticulously implement the intentions of the provincial leaders. At the same time, he is a coal expert, a veteran cadre of the main hall, and can calm the scene.
He once worked with the "second generation of officials" to preside over the government
In April 2006, Li Jinzhu went to Yulin, Shaanxi Province to take up a post. Yulin City is located in the northernmost part of Shaanxi Province and is rich in energy and mineral resources. He successively served as deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, acting mayor and mayor of the city.
Li Jinzhu is also difficult!This is the evaluation of a retired Yulin **. He believed that at that time, the interests of coal were too great, and all forces were involved, and Li Jinzhu helping either side meant offending the other party.
Taking the Y Coal Mine as an example, after Li Jinzhu took office, he actively implemented the integration plan and signed a joint venture agreement with a "well-known foreign enterprise". On the other hand, Li Jinzhu vigorously promoted the establishment of Yulin Mining Group, which will integrate the existing transportation and marketing enterprises and markets with three enterprises including Yushen Coal Company as the core.
After successfully handling the Y coal mine incident, Li Jinzhu's career reached a new level. In February 2008, he served as the secretary of the municipal party committee and became the "number one" in Yulin. At the same time, the desire of local cadres in Yulin to take over the mayor's baton failed, and the superiors sent a "paratrooper" to Yulin - Hu Zhiqiang, who worked in central enterprises in his early years and later came to Shaanxi, successively served as deputy secretary of the Xianyang Municipal Party Committee and deputy secretary general of the provincial government. Hu Zhiqiang also has an interesting status as a "second-generation official", and his father served as the secretary of the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee.
Li Jinzhu and Hu Zhiqiang have been in the team for 3 years, and they are generally harmonious. According to a person familiar with the local political situation, Hu Zhiqiang basically only made money and did not take power during his tenure as mayor, and he had a lot of respect for Li Jinzhu. Hu Zhiqiang once said at the dinner party receiving guests that Yu Gong Li Jinzhu is the squad leader, he is the deputy, and Yu Private Li Jinzhu is his uncle. Hu Zhiqiang's father was vice minister of the coal industry, and Li Jinzhu also worked in the ministry at that time.
Despite the rapprochement between the two, Mr. Lee faces many challenges. The above-mentioned insider said that Yulin was not complicated in the first place, but it was only because of the coal and the formation of various interest alliances that everything became complicated. Some people are quite confident and are not too polite to Li Jinzhu.
Around 2010, after an interview with a family in Yulin, they published a manuscript arguing that Yulin's natural resources surpassed that of the neighboring city of Ordos in Inner Mongolia, but the development in recent years has been left behind by Ordos. A person who is at the level of a department, but enjoys great prestige in the local area, and who can retire a coal boss with a net worth of billions, said bluntly: "Some leaders in Yulin come from Beijing and do not understand economic construction. Many people believe that these words are aimed at Li Jinzhu.
Li Jinzhu was furious when he saw the relevant reports, but in the end he did not delve into it. In this regard, some people think that Li Jinzhu is open-minded and generous, while others think that Li Jinzhu has been kidnapped by various interests and is unwilling to make extraneous branches.
From May to July 2011, Li Jinzhu served as Vice Governor of Shaanxi Province. In January 2015, Li Jinzhu resigned as vice governor of Shaanxi Province and was elected vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the 12th Shaanxi Provincial People's Congress in the same month.
Since May 2019, he has served as the deputy director of the Shaanxi Provincial Decision Advisory Committee.
After the fall of Zhao Zhengyong, the former secretary of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee
Li Jinzhu has been repeatedly arrested by relevant departmentsFind a conversation
He tried his best to mend his relationship with Zhao Zhengyong
At the beginning of 2019, Zhao Zhengyong, the former secretary of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee, was dismissed. Since then, Zhao Zhengyong has been sentenced to death with a suspended sentence for hundreds of millions of yuan. During the investigation of Zhao Zhengyong, Li Jinzhu was repeatedly asked by relevant departments to talk, and the relationship between Zhao and Li has always been talked about by the outside world.
According to people familiar with the matter, during his tenure in Shaanxi, Zhao Zhengyong was deeply involved in the interests of local coal mines in Yulin. However, the relationship between Zhao Zhengyong and Li Jinzhu was not good, and he was even a little nervous for a while. Due to the huge interests of the coal mine, there are many people who pay attention to Yulin. During Li Jinzhu's administration of Yulin, there was also a local saying that some leaders may not be effective in greeting Li Jinzhu.
Zhao Zhengyong, born in 1951, went to Shaanxi from his hometown Anhui at the age of 50 to work as a member of the Standing Committee of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and at the age of 59, Zhao Zhengyong was a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and executive vice governor. In the eyes of some officialdom, Zhao Zhengyong's career may stop here, or even retire from the second line. Zhao Zhengyong gave Li Jinzhu some greetings, but Li Jinzhu did not accept all the orders.
According to a retired Yulin **, Zhao Zhengyong's wife is also very fond of money, and once brought several coal bosses to Yulin to find Li Jinzhu. As a result, Li Jinzhu went to the district and county under the pretext of researching and hiding. Zhao Zhengyong's wife waited in the hotel for two days, and finally returned in a huff.
But to Li Jinzhu and many other surprises, in 2011, Zhao Zhengyong became the governor of the province and became the secretary of the provincial party committee a year later. Insiders revealed that in order to mend the relationship with Zhao Zhengyong, Li Jinzhu thought of a lot of ways, and in the end, the two were also at odds.
In 2011, Li Jinzhu was promoted from the secretary of the Yulin Municipal Party Committee to vice governor, and the then governor Zhao Zhengyong just pushed the boat with the flow without fierce opposition. After that, Li Jinzhu had the desire to go one step further and become a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, but Zhao Zhengyong, then secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, did not give any support. After Zhao Zhengyong was dismissed, Li Jinzhu was found by the relevant departments, just to understand the situation and assist in the investigation of the case. At an internal meeting, Li Jinzhu also angrily criticized Zhao Zhengyong, saying that Zhao was a sinner.
In 2018, the "100 billion mining rights case" shook the whole country, and Yulin businessman Zhao Faqi reported Zhao Zhengyong, Hu Zhiqiang and others with his real name, saying that a beautiful entrepreneur Liu Juan relied on her deep background to take away a coal mine worth 100 billion yuan in Yulin from her hands. Sorting out the ins and outs of the "100 billion mining rights case", many important time nodes of the case were during Li Jinzhu's tenure as secretary of the municipal party committee.
When the 100 billion mining rights case was boiling, Li Jinzhu had already stepped back from the second line, but he would occasionally discuss a few words in private. According to a person who attended the dinner with Li Jinzhu, when others brought the topic here, Li Jinzhu did not evade it, and said that the key figures in the "100 billion mining rights case" had come to him back then, but he replied that it was useless to look for me in this matter, go to someone else, as long as others agree, I have no opinion.
In May 2023, Li Jinzhu officially announced that he was investigated, and he was expelled from the party in December.
It wasIt is rumored that he shielded his "cousin" Yang Dacai caused the passNote
When Li Jinzhu was the vice governor of Shaanxi Province, he attracted a lot of attention on the Internet.
In August 2012, Yang Dacai, then director of the Shaanxi Provincial Safety Supervision Bureau, attracted attention because of his smile at the scene of a major traffic accident, and netizens dug up that he wore famous watches on many occasions and was also called "cousin".
After the matter fermented, some netizens "broke the news" that the Shaanxi Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection had made a decision to conduct "shuanggui" on Yang Dacai and file a case for investigation, and then suspended it, "A provincial leader shouted excitedly when he spoke: We can't make a mess as soon as netizens make a fuss. Don't say that Dacai doesn't have **, even if I see it, I can't check it, I can't check it according to the wishes of netizens, and I have to resist the unhealthy trend ...... the Internet”
Subsequently, some netizens pointed the finger at Li Jinzhu, the then vice governor of Shaanxi Province, who was in charge of safety supervision. The incident spread widely on the Internet and also attracted the attention of Xinhua News Agency reporters.
According to **, "Xinhua News Agency reporters asked him for confirmation", Li Jinzhu said that he had not made such remarks on any occasion.
