According to the report, the police officer, identified only by his family name Yang, was being tried for dereliction of duty in Qingyuan District People’s Court last month when he submitted a recording of a conversation in which the boss allegedly tells Yang and an auxiliary officer to take full responsibility for the death of a suspected criminal.

Fuping

Indeed, given China’s rampant corruption, another big question surrounding the antipoverty campaign, announced a few days after Mr. Xi’s visit, is how much of the additional $40 million that provincial authorities will funnel to Luotuowan and other villages in the surrounding county of Fuping next year will actually reach those in need.

Development of Xiong'an New District (XND) is integral to the implementation of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) Integration Initiative. It is intended to ease the non-capital functions of Beijing, optimize regional spatial patterns, and enhance ecosystem services and living environment in this urban agglomeration.

In planning and building the Xiong’an New Area [part of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development program], under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee we should follow the underlying principle of seeking progress while maintaining stability, and reinforcing and implementing the new development concepts.

2018, Xi Jinping, The Governance of China, volume II, Beijing: Foreign Languages Press, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 260:

Taking the planning of Hebei Xiong an New District, which is similar to the Beijing City Sub-center business district, as an example, the general secretary Xi Jinping's report at the nineteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out: to ease the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei with the function of "non Beijing capital" as a "nose" to promote the coordinated development of Beijing Tianjin Hebei, a high starting point plan and a high standard construction of Xiong an new area, so the Xiong an new area is built at the very beginning.

The latest Water Census, made public this year, prompted rage on Chinese social media when it emerged that Beijing and its nearby administrative annexe of Xiong’an, a new "smart city” built at the behest of President Xi, both enjoy green codes on the basis of projected deliveries of water from the SNWDP.

The aim of this work is to better understand smart cities in a unique and complex context such as China analysing the most recent example known as the Xiong an new area.[...]Firms, especially the technological big companies, play a pivotal role in the development of Xiong an new area.

Around 1.2 million people in Xiong'an New Area -- a new economic zone 100 kilometres southwest of Beijing -- are no longer allowed to enter or leave their residential compounds, local virus prevention staff confirmed to AFP on Friday.
While recent lockdowns in China are publicly announced and widely reported by state media, the Xiong'an restrictions appear to have been introduced by stealth with no public announcements -- sparking confusion among some residents of the area.
[...]While there have been a number of national-level "New Areas" across China, Xiong'an stands out with its location personally designated by President Xi Jinping, according to state media.
