AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)03/03 Report--

On February 20, the official account of the discipline Inspection Commission of Dongfeng Automobile Group, "Clean Dongfeng," issued the latest announcement: Li Puming, chief member of Xiangyang Daan Automobile Inspection Center Co., Ltd., of Dongfeng Company, has voluntarily surrendered to the case and is currently under disciplinary examination and supervision investigation by the discipline Inspection Commission of Dongfeng Company and the Supervisory Commission of Yichang City, Hubei Province.

Tianyan inspection shows that Dongfeng Xiangyang Daan Automobile testing Center Co., Ltd. was founded in August 2005 with a registered and paid-in capital of 9 billion yuan. Dongfeng Automotive Engineering Research Institute (Wuhan) Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dongfeng Automobile Group Co., Ltd. In other words, Dongfeng Xiangyang Daan Automobile testing Center Co., Ltd. is Dongfeng Automobile Group Co., Ltd. holding wholly-owned grandson company.

If other car companies are exposed that their managers are being investigated, there may be a heated discussion in the market, such as Xiaopeng's internal anti-corruption, while for Dongfeng Motor, it seems common for managers to be checked. There are always several managers "falling off the horse" every month. According to incomplete statistics, a total of 26 senior executives of Dongfeng Company were investigated in 2023, equivalent to the downfall of two executives per month, mainly in the areas of manufacturing and terminal services. For example, Sun Zhigang, vice minister of commodity planning of Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd., Wu Guidong, former deputy general manager of spare parts logistics department of Dongfeng Logistics Group Co., Ltd., Dong Haozhuan, former head of after-sales service department of Dongfeng Infiniti Automobile Co., Ltd., Zhang Xiancheng, former deputy general manager of vehicle logistics division of Dongfeng Logistics Group Co., Ltd., Lu Wen, head of facilities Management Section 2 of Manufacturing Management Department of Dongfeng Honda Motor Co., Ltd. Huo Jing, former head of Public Relations Department of Zhengzhou Nissan Automobile Co., Ltd., etc. Apart from Dongfeng, I am afraid there is no second car company that has demonstrated a continuous high-pressure anti-corruption situation. Of course, this also reflects from the side that the corruption within Dongfeng Company has gone deep into all aspects compared with other automobile groups, and it still needs more in-depth examination and investigation.

Zhu Yanfeng, former chairman of Dongfeng Motor Group, said at the meeting that no matter who, no matter how senior and important his position is, as long as he violates party discipline and state law, he will be seriously investigated and severely punished. According to public data, during the anti-corruption campaign against the results of the second inspection from 2019 to 2022, the discipline Inspection Commission of Dongfeng Motor Company filed 551 cases, punished 629 people and retained 75 people.

"the risk of integrity in key areas is still very high. The problems of bid collusion and internal and external collusion in the fields of new energy, procurement and bidding are relatively serious. Some leading cadres transfer interests and misappropriate state-owned assets by holding 'dry shares' and acting as' shadow shareholders'. Some leading cadres are willing to be 'hunted' and become 'agents' and 'spokesmen' of 'interest groups'." Huang Chuan, member of the standing Committee of the Party Committee of Dongfeng Company, secretary of the discipline Inspection Commission, and inspector of the State Supervisory Commission in Dongfeng Company, said: "We must always blow the charge, always maintain a strict tone, strict measures, and a strict atmosphere, fight corruption and punish evil with zero tolerance, and never tolerate it."
