Chinese official shamed over adultery 'contract' that fines bad behaviour

A Communist Party official is relieved of his duties after a contract between him and his mistress leaked onto the internet revealing how the pair had agreed binding terms for their illicit affair

A Chinese official has become an online laughing stock after the publication of a bizarre “love-affair contract” which he had obliged his mistress to sign.

The six-clause code-of-conduct, which was published by the Beijing News, set out the ground rules for a secretive affair between Tao Yi, a senior tax officer from Guangxi province, and a married woman who was named only as “Ms Fan”.

The contract- drawn up on a lined piece of A-4 paper dated March 2013 — stipulates that the adulterers should meet at least once a week and should refrain from engaging in sexual activity with any third parties.

If either signatory fails to honour those commitments or causes “mental distress” to the other, a fine of 10,000 yuan (around £1,000) will be levied.

Furthermore, Ms Fan shall not “interfere with the man’s work and family or she will face punishment,” the contract says.

For his part, Mr Tao agrees to “take care of the woman’s living costs” as appropriate.

Perhaps most bizarrely, the contract stipulates that if either party wishes to terminate the affair they must give formal written notice.

“Surely, the official is aware that this love-affair contract is not protected by law,” wrote one flabbergasted user of the Weibo micro-blog on Monday.

With president Xi Jinping currently waging a high-profile war on corruption and debauchery, the leaked agreement represents a flagrant breach of Mr Tao’s contract with his Communist Party employers in the city of Guigang.

On Sunday, a government spokesperson told the Beijing News that Mr Tao had been relieved of his duties. An investigation into his after-work activities, involving the tax bureau and officials from the city’s disciplinary committee, was underway.

Mr Tao is the latest in a string of Communist Party officials to find his name caught up in a career-extinguishing sex scandal.

In August, state media called for officials to be banned from nightclubs after a group of Shanghai judges were caught cavorting with sex workers.

The ban would help protect officials from being corrupted, the Global Times argued.

Earlier this month, officials in central China were accused of operating clandestine, whiskey-fuelled karaoke sessions inside their local Party School, where Communist officials are supposed to learn about Mao Tse-tung Thought.
