Tan Jingfeng, former Party Secretary and Director of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Sports Bureau, Expelled from the Communist Party

On September 20, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision reported that, with the approval of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Party Committee, the autonomous region’s Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision had carried out an investigation into serious violations of discipline and law by Tan Jingfeng, former Party secretary and director of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Sports Bureau. The report stated that Tan Jingfeng had lost his ideals and convictions, violated the spirit of the Central EightPoint Regulations, accepted gifts and cash, and sought preferential treatment in areas such as transportation. At the same time, he abused his authority in matters such as cadre appointments and job transfers to secure gains for others and accepted money and property. The investigation also found that he had failed to perform his duties and responsibilities, and had turned public power into a tool for personal gain, suspected of using his position to help others in project contracting and payment settlement, and illegally accepting huge amounts of money and property. In accordance with relevant Party discipline and laws, the Standing Committee of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Commission for Discipline Inspection studied the case and reported it to the autonomous region Party Committee for approval. It decided to expel Tan Jingfeng from the Party, revoke the benefits he enjoyed in accordance with regulations, confiscate his illegal gains, and transfer the suspected criminal issues to the procuratorate for review and prosecution in accordance with the law.
