On one occasion, when a company that had transferred benefits to him failed to win the bid, Li Dong forced his subordinates to find a reason to cancel the bid and re-bid. "His willful use of power also reflects that supervision of state-owned enterprise leaders is still a weak link that needs to be strengthened urgently."
