Man meant to oversee discipline in Mainland China’s Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office found to have broken the rules himself
Huang Shuihua was given a warning, according to the notice from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection
A mainland official in charge of the internal control of the State Council’s Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office was found to have breached discipline himself by treating friends to a meal at a hotel on business expenses.
The news, highlighted in a notice released on Thursday by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), came some three months after the internal control body assigned an official to the office to oversee its discipline inspection work.
The case saw Huang Shuihua, a deputy secretary of the office’s department party committee and secretary of the office’s bureau of discipline supervision and investigation, take his “friends” to a hotel for a meal in late 2013 and claim the cost on expenses.
Huang was given a warning, according to the CCDI notice. It did not mention who Huang’s “friends” were, or how much the meal was. Nor did it mention how much Huang had claimed.
A Hong Kong deputy to the National People’s Congress, Professor Priscilla Lau Pui-king, said: “The CCDI move shows the party and the central government are serious about strengthening discipline.
