Once slapped the table in the face of corruption
Rizhao City was Liu Xingtai's last stop in Shandong Province before he moved across the province to Hainan to become a provincial and ministerial cadre. He has been mayor and secretary of Rizhao Municipal Party Committee for nearly three years.
According to the previous report of Rizhao News Network, when he was elected mayor of Rizhao City, Liu Xingtai also said that he would take the lead in observing discipline and rules, be afraid of what he said, stop doing what he did, and be a clean man.
He once promised that he would never use his power to seek illegitimate interests for individuals, relatives and staff around him, never interfere and interfere in market economic activities such as bidding for construction projects, bidding, auction and listing of commercial land, and never waste public funds and extravagance.
During his tenure as the "top leader" of Rizhao Municipal Party Committee, Liu Xingtai also fought against corruption with iron fists and investigated and dealt with the corruption nest case of Rizhao Port Group, the local leading state-owned enterprise.
The media mentioned that Rizhao is prosperous because of the establishment of a city in Hong Kong. In 2016, the throughput of Rizhao Port exceeded 350 million tons, ranking tenth in the country at that time. Its rise and fall are related to the development and stability of Rizhao City. Local people said that if you sneeze in Rizhao Port, you will catch cold in Rizhao City.
However, in 2016, the local audit and inspection results of Rizhao Port Group were shocking - nearly 10 billion yuan of funds were misappropriated, owed, and defrauded, illegal operations, illegal use of funds, and cadres and workers ran businesses and enterprises in violation of regulations. Even guards and stevedores took the card. When listening to the report, Liu Xingtai patted the table and said, "Check it out! No matter who is involved, there will be no mercy!".
In November 2016, Du Chuanzhi, then the Party Secretary and Chairman of Rizhao Port Group, was transferred to Rizhao SASAC. A month later, Du Chuanzhi was investigated. Since then, Kong Xianlei, Vice Chairman of the Group, Meng Fanxiang, Deputy General Manager and other senior executives have been organized to review.
The media mentioned that under the unified deployment of the Rizhao Municipal Party Committee, the relevant departments filed 49 corruption cases in Rizhao Port with 51 people; The Commission for Discipline Inspection of Rizhao Port Group has filed 69 cases against discipline violators and punished 69 people.
Liu Xingtai, the then secretary of Rizhao Municipal Party Committee, said in an interview with the media: "If the local atmosphere is not correct and corruption prevails, party members and cadres will not have the heart to do business, the normal market order will be destroyed, and the economy will not develop healthily."
In addition, when Liu Xingtai was in charge of Rizhao City, the inspection team of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee inspected the local area and pointed out problems. From March to April 2017, the fourth inspection team of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee carried out a "look back" tour of Rizhao City. In May of the same year, the inspection team gave feedback on the inspection.
It was mentioned in the notice that there was a gap between Rizhao Municipal Party Committee and the CPC Central Committee and the Provincial Party Committee in implementing the decisions and arrangements of the Central Committee and the Provincial Party Committee, the supervision and enforcement of discipline were loose and soft, the correction of "four conducts" and the settlement of corruption problems around the masses lacked tenacity, some work of the last round of inspection and rectification was not in place, and the awareness of discipline and rules was not strong.
In charge of Hainan's political and legal system, Zhang Jiahui's case was exposed
During his work in Hainan, Liu Xingtai served as a member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Hainan Provincial Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee for nearly four years. During this period, the local political and legal system exposed the "20 billion female judge Zhang Jiahui corruption case".

Zhang Jiahui was a member of the Party Leadership Group and Vice President of the Hainan Provincial High Court at that time, and his fall was triggered by a extortion case. In April 2019, Chongqing Wanzhou Court heard a extortion case, and the victim was Zhang Jiahui and his wife.
It is said that Zhang Jiahui and his wife's "outrageous" words and deeds were secretly recorded into audio and video by a man, who threatened to publish them online and ask for money. Fearing the negative impact of the publicity of audio and video, Zhang Jiahui's husband Liu Yuansheng promised to pay 2 million yuan and transferred 500000 yuan three times.
Later, Liu Yuansheng reported that he had been blackmailed, and the man who recorded the audio and video was detained. Zhang Jiahui and Liu Yuansheng are both law doctors, and Zhang Jiahui is the vice president of the Hainan Provincial High Court. Once this extortion case was reported, it attracted a lot of attention from the society.
Later, many people reported publicly that Zhang Jiahui and his wife had assets of more than 20 billion yuan and were suspected of breaking the law in many incidents. In May 2019, the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Hainan Provincial Party Committee said that it would take the lead to form a joint investigation team to investigate the problem. More than half a month later, Zhang Jiahui was investigated.
In December 2020, Zhang Jiahui was sentenced to 18 years' imprisonment and a fine of 4 million yuan. The court found that Zhang Jiahui took bribes totaling 43.75 million yuan. His ex husband Liu Yuansheng was also sentenced to 14 years and 6 months in prison.
On May 10, 2022, Liu Cheng, the former deputy secretary and secretary-general of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of the Hainan Provincial Party Committee, was investigated for serious violations of discipline and laws. According to his resume, Liu Xingtai was a member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Hainan Provincial Committee and the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, while Liu Cheng was the Deputy Secretary and Secretary General of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee of the CPC Hainan Provincial Committee.
In October 2021, Liu Cheng retired and was investigated six months later.
According to the relevant reports, Liu Cheng ignored the repeated orders of the CPC Central Committee, ignored the Party discipline and national laws, used public tools for private purposes, and engaged in judicial corruption and power and money transactions, which seriously damaged the credibility of the judiciary and the image of the political and legal organs.
Last February, Liu Cheng was prosecuted. The procuratorial organ accused Liu Cheng of taking advantage of his position as Deputy Secretary and Vice President of the Party Leadership Group of the High Court of Hainan Province, Deputy Secretary and Secretary General of the Political and Legal Committee of the Hainan Provincial Party Committee to seek profits for others and illegally accept property in a particularly large amount.
Last August, Liu Cheng was sentenced to 12 years and 6 months in prison and fined 3 million yuan.
It is worth mentioning that the media mentioned that Liu Xingtai once had a well-known saying: "When a cadre is too comfortable, people must not be happy."
