Cheng Weixiong was sentenced by the court for many illegal and criminal activities such as extortion in Taiping Town, Yangshan County, Guangdong Province.

In 2008, Cheng Weixiong was elected as the director of Xingtang Village Committee by threatening village cadres, canvassing and scrutinizing votes. Since then, the underworld organization headed by it was established, and then organized and planned to carry out illegal and criminal activities. During the period from 20 1 1 to 20 17, Cheng Weixiong was illegally elected as the director of Xingtang village committee or the secretary of the party branch for three consecutive times, and at the same time, he expanded his influence in Taiping town and even a wider range with Xingtang village committee as the center.

Rmb 3.781.5 million obtained through illegal mining, encroachment on village collective resources, illegal control and management of mountain fields, and all-inclusive projects is used for welfare treatment of members of the organization and after-care protection of organizational behavior, so as to support the survival and development of the organization and seriously undermine the local economic and social life order.
