中國發改委副主任涉嫌嚴重違紀受調查

A senior official in China’s economic planning agency has become the latest target of Beijing’s crackdown on excess and corruption.

中國經濟規劃機構一位高級官員成爲中國政府嚴厲打擊鋪張浪費與腐敗行爲的最大目標。

Xinhua news agency reported yesterday that Liu Tienan, a vice-chairman of the National Development and Reform Commission, was under in­vestigation for alleged “grave violations of discipline” brought to light by a whistleblower. Mr Liu was also head of China’s energy regulatory body until March.

新華社昨天報道，中國國家發改委(NDRC)副主任劉鐵男因被告密者揭發其涉嫌“嚴重違紀”而接受調查。今年3月之前，劉鐵男還曾執掌中國能源監管機構。

The state news agency cited the Communist party’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection as the source for a brief report that gave no further information about Mr Liu’s alleged violations.

官方的新華社援引中共中央紀律檢查委員會作爲這條簡短報道的消息來源，報道並未提供有關劉鐵男涉嫌違紀行爲的進一步信息。

But on its official account on Sina Weibo, the Chinese microblogging site, Xinhua appeared to endorse the actions of the media whistleblower who first raised concerns about Mr Liu. Last year, a senior editor of Caijing, the Chinese financial magazine, re­ported on his Weibo account that Mr Liu was suspected of fabricating academic credentials, loan fraud and making threats against others.

然而在中國微博網站新浪微博(Weibo)的新華社官方賬戶上，新華社似乎認可了首先引起人們對劉鐵男關注的媒體告密者的行爲。新浪微博上的“新華視點”帳戶發表了一則【新華微評】，這麼寫道：“發改委副主任劉鐵男涉嫌嚴重違紀被調查，除因實名舉報外，微博也功不可沒。微博之所以能成反腐利器，在於公開，更在於真實。”

The public information office of the energy regulator, where Mr Liu then worked, dismissed the accusations as rumours. “We are contacting the internet management departments and public security department to report the case to the police,” it was reported as saying at the time.

去年，中國財經雜誌《財金》一位副主編曾在其微博賬戶上舉報劉鐵男涉嫌學歷造假、貸款欺詐以及威脅他人。劉鐵男當時工作的中國國家能源局的新聞辦公室曾將這些指控指責爲謠言。根據當時的報道，該機構表示：“我們正在聯繫有關網絡管理部門和公安部門，正在報案、報警。”
