On October 8, the Anhui Discipline Inspection and Supervision website published a report indicating that the Anhui Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China approved an investigation into An Jin, the former Party Secretary and Chairman of Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Group Co., Ltd. This inquiry follows serious allegations of violations of discipline and law.
According to the findings of the investigation, An Jin exhibited a collapse in his political beliefs, resulting in a significant loss of ideals and trust in the Party. He disregarded the fundamental principles of the Party and failed to uphold his responsibilities to ensure strict governance. Evidence also revealed that he illegally introduced and accessed politically sensitive materials, raising serious concerns about his loyalty and a deliberate attempt to evade oversight.
An Jin repeatedly flouted the Central Committee’s Eight-point Regulation by accepting gifts, cash, and expense cards, highlighting a pattern of misconduct over an extended period. Additionally, he was found to be dishonest during inquiries, reflecting a distorted worldview and a lifestyle characterized by extravagance and hedonism.
His actions have been marked by reckless greed and a blatant exploitation of his position for personal gain. He was involved in corrupt dealings that affected equity transfers, project contracts, and technology transfers, while unlawfully accepting large sums of money in the process.
These behaviors represent severe infringements on the Party’s political, organizational, integrity, and conduct standards, leading to significant misconduct and alleged bribery. Alarmingly, his unethical actions continued even after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party, causing considerable disruption within the organization. In response to the nature and severity of An Jin’s violations, the Anhui Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, with the support of the Provincial Committee, has decided to expel him from the Party, revoke his benefits, confiscate his illicit gains, and forward his alleged criminal activities to judicial authorities for prosecution, along with any related assets.
