Li Shuifei, former deputy secretary of the Party Committee and general manager of the Fire Emergency Protection Department of Hongqiao Company, a subsidiary of Shanghai Airport Group, did not take responsibility or act in the prevention and control of the epidemic, which led to the delay of the transshipment process and caused adverse effects, and was given the punishment of revoking his duties within the party and administrative duties.
