After the Energy Bureau official fell to power, anti-corruption in the power system was spreading at the State Grid Corporation of China. According to reports, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's Supervision Department said that the SASAC Disciplinary Commission on the State Grid Corporation of China Liaoning Power Co., Ltd. General Manager Yan Fulong suspected of serious violations of law and discipline investigation. Yan Fulong was the fifth national grid worker who was investigated or transmitted after this year's National Audit Commission's stationing in the State Grid, and was also the sixth person in the grid company surveyed this year.


Many netizens pointed out that the anti-corruption storm has intensified and the power industry survived. The reason that the power sector has become a high-income area of corruption is inextricably linked to its highly monopolized characteristics. Monopoly and corruption often go hand in hand. To this end, it is necessary to reduce the regulation of the power industry, further open up the electricity market, fully introduce competition, and eradicate the soil that breeds corruption.


"electric tiger" ass can touch


"I knew that the power companies couldn't escape the corruption. I'm glad to see the direction of this development." Internet users "Frank does not matter," said.


Netizens “Wen Wen” said that ordinary people and power companies and other industries are dependent on and afraid of the power grid industry, and are mostly called “electric tigers”. The "Tiger's ass can't touch it" vividly shows the power grid industry's Huwei overbearing, in the past who would dare to touch the move? As China's anti-corruption continues to deepen, the bottom of the electric tiger's ass and the teeth of the “electric tiger” are displayed, demonstrating the central government’s determination to completely and completely beat the “tiger” and to make public the people’s opinions.


"Since the anti-corruption of the power system, executives have been sacked almost every month. The corruption of the power system is so serious that it really scares the people. I don't know how many corrupt "Tigers" are still at large in the power system?" said netizens Wu Xiaobao. .


Corruption and monopoly go hand in hand


Some netizens pointed out that industries including electricity, water supply, public transportation, tobacco, petroleum, natural gas, telecommunications, railway transportation, and banking are all administrative monopolies, which are prone to monopolistic profits, harm consumer interests, and even cause corruption.


“Electric power companies have been in a monopoly for many years and there are many problems. The power plant projects have been approved from planning to construction, and there will be space for renting at all links in the power plant,” said netizens Ye Qing.


The netizen Chen Jiaxuan said that monopoly and corruption are two sides of the same coin, and are two evil consequences of the excessive power of administrative power on the vicious vine caused by economic operations. Corruption is essentially a phenomenon that belongs to the economic category. It is a kind of power-seeking rent. It is a way for some companies or individuals to open their door to the exchange of administrative power at the expense of economic interests. The more rigorous the regulation is, the more open the markets are, the more open industries and departments are, there is more room for rent-seeking. The relevant officials or senior executives of state-owned enterprises have more power, and they also have more incentives to carry out power and money transactions.


Need to open up the market further


Some netizens said that the power industry as a monopoly state enterprise enjoys privilege and monopoly profits. Launching a "anti-corruption storm" against the monopoly industry can relieve people's grievances to a certain extent. However, it is difficult to fundamentally improve the image of this type of anti-corruption campaign alone. The most important thing is to touch the roots and clear the rent-seeking soil. It is no accident that monopoly industries have become a high-incidence area of corruption. Not only large state-owned enterprises, but all excessively controlled industries or markets may breed corruption.
