With the start of a new round of central inspection, another "big tiger" in the energy system has fallen. Unlike the object of investigation and punishment recently, this person was investigated during his term of office. Wang Maosheng, member of the party group and deputy director of the Shanxi Energy Bureau, is suspected of serious violations of discipline and the law and is under disciplinary examination and supervision investigation by the Supervisory Commission of the Shanxi Provincial Commission for discipline Inspection, according to the website of the Supervisory Commission of the Shanxi Provincial discipline Inspection Commission. Wang Maosheng, 55, a native of Jincheng, Shanxi Province, has a graduate degree from China University of Mining and Technology and joined the job in August 1990. He served for a long time in Shanxi Jincheng Anthracite Mining Group Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Jinmei Group"). He successively served as Gushuyuan mine technician, foreman, deputy captain, dispatching room director, director, deputy chief engineer, deputy mine director, mine director, etc., in 2010, he became deputy general manager of Jincheng Coal Mining Group and was promoted to general manager seven years later. In 2019, Wang Maosheng went to another key coal enterprise in Shanxi Province, Shanxi Coking Coal Group Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Shanxi Coking Coal Group"). Wu Huatai was appointed party committee secretary and chairman of the group. Just over a year later, in May 2020, Wang Maosheng was transferred to be a member of the party group and deputy director of the Shanxi Provincial Energy Bureau, assisting the director in charge of the Coal production Technology Department, the New and Renewable Energy Department, the Information and Monitoring Department, and the China Coal Museum. Wang Maosheng's transfer came at a time when the Shanxi provincial government decided to merge and reorganize Jinneng Holdings Group, a local comprehensive energy group. Wang Qirui, then director of the provincial energy bureau, was transferred from the former party committee secretary and chairman of Jinneng Group. In September 2020, the Shanxi provincial party committee and provincial government approved the establishment of Jinneng holding Group Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Jinneng holding Group"), which was contributed by the equity of Shanxi state-owned enterprises Tongmei Group, Jinneng Group and Jinneng Group. jointly reorganized to form a large comprehensive energy group, and simultaneously integrated Lu'an Group, Huayang Group coal, power and other related assets. At the same time, after the restructuring of China (Taiyuan) Coal Trading Center, Jinneng holding Group was injected into this large group together with China Taiyuan Coal Trading Center Co., Ltd. After the establishment of Jinneng holding Group, its three state-owned coal enterprises became second-class subsidiaries of the group, and the same coal group changed its name to Jinneng holding Coal Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Jinneng Coal Industry"). At that time, Jinneng Coal Industry integrated the relevant coal assets of former Tong Coal Group, Jinneng Group and Jinzhou Coal Group, and simultaneously integrated the relevant coal mine assets of Coking Coal Group, Lu'an Group and Huayang Group. It is the largest subsidiary of Jinneng holding Group. The investigation of Wang Maosheng is another development in the anti-corruption tide of Shanxi coal set off in 2022. Since 2022, Shanxi coal has been fighting against corruption frequently. In January of that year, Zhang Youxi, former party committee secretary and chairman of Tongan Coal Group, who had retired for two years, was investigated. After 32 years in the group, he was transferred to Shanxi Provincial Government Counsellor and retired in January 2020. In June 2022, Zhang Youxi's "successor" Guo Jingang fell from his post. He once worked in Lu'an Mining Bureau, served as general manager of Lu'an Group in 2011, and was transferred to vice chairman and general manager of Tongshan Coal Group in the same year. Zhang Youxi took over until he retired to the second line. Before and after the downfall of Zhang Youxi and Guo Jingang, a number of senior executives who had worked in Tong Coal Group and Jinneng Group were investigated, including Cao Xianqing, General Counsel of Jinneng Group, Ma Zhanyuan, Chief engineer, Xuan Hongbin, former Deputy General Manager, and Liu Wenyan, Deputy General Manager of Jinneng holding Group. In 2023, the anti-corruption of Shanxi coal gradually spread to Jin Coal Group, which Wang Maosheng once served for a long time. This year, Zhu Xiaoming, former chairman and secretary of the party committee of Shanxi Coal Group, and then director of Shanxi State-owned assets Supervision and Administration Commission and director of the Economic Committee of the Shanxi Provincial Committee of the Chinese people's political Consultative Conference, and Yan Zhendong, former deputy general manager of Shanxi Coal Group, who had retired for two years at that time, were announced to be ousted one after another. Since 2024, Shanxi coal anti-corruption has continued to make efforts. On April 9, Xue Daocheng, a former senior executive of Shanxi Coking Coal Group with Wang Maosheng, was investigated in October 2023. He also served as a full-time external director of Shanxi Lu'an Mining (Group) Co., Ltd and Lu'an Chemical Group Co., Ltd. **
