Corruption in grain storage should never be ignored
    2015-04-21  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    JOURNALISTS ecently found that Sinograin storage managers in Liaoning and Jilin provinces have been embezzling public funds by conspiring with illegal grain merchants to put cheaper, previously harvested grain in storage but paying the price of freshly harvested grain to merchants. Here are some of the comments from Chinese media.

    Local media responses 

 Reports show that the trick is common in these provinces; therefore what is needed is to not only probe the cases and punish the responsible officials, but also improve the management of national grain storage. Currently, the industry is monopolized by Sinograin, which operates in a black box without any external supervision. Why not learn from developed countries and allow non-SOEs, social organizations, even farmers, to store surplus grain, and purchase the grains from them when needed? The State can set an upper limit to their prices to protect public interests. That will break the monopoly and nip corruption at the root.

    Beijing News, April 19

    The once rampant corruption has been curbed a bit since top leaders launched the anti-graft campaign in 2012. However, the cases in Liaoning and Jilin show corrupt officials are still finding ways to abuse their power. It is necessary to keep up the high pressure on corruption, and encourage the public to report it so that better-hidden corruption be discovered and stopped.

    The once rampant corruption has been curbed a bit since top leaders launched the anti-graft campaign in 2012. However, the cases in Liaoning and Jilin show corrupt officials are still finding ways to abuse their power. It is necessary to keep up the high pressure on corruption, and encourage the public to report it so that better-hidden corruption be discovered and stopped.

    When a fire ruined Sinograin storage units in Heilongjiang, another northeastern province, in May 2013, Sinograin promised to punish the officials responsible and instigate reforms to prevent similar incidents. Last September, a central inspection group warned that corruption was quite rampant in the company, and they continued to promise change. Now, more corruption involving the company has been uncovered and Sinograin has made a similar promise again. The facts prove that “internal supervision” in powerful SOEs cannot prevent corruption, and more external supervision is obviously needed.

    cjn.cn, April 19

    There have long been reports about corruption involving Sinograin, but they have never been seriously dealt with. Had the recent cases in Liaoning and Jilin not been reported, Sinograin might have continued resisting an anti-graft probe. Under high pressure, the Sinograin authorities have finally agreed to a probe and we expect disciplinary agencies to get involved and make everything clear.
