The official rivers and lakes in the slap

Some readers know my past experience, so they ask about the view of the slap incident on the screen. There are probably some things that are not strange to those who have been in the system, but for those outside the system, there are many things that are unexplained and new.

To figure out how the slap sounded, you need to have some understanding of the special state of affairs. Because the official world of the jungle and the ordinary company of the jungle is very different.

First of all, a basic need to understand common sense is that every local administrative structure commonly known as four and a half sets – the party committee, the government, the National People’s Congress, the CPPCC, the Discipline Inspection Commission. The reason why the Discipline Inspection Commission can only be considered half a set is because it is actually part of the party committee. These four and a half sets of structures are theoretically parallel, each with its own independent and complete internal structure. At the same time each has its own party group, one hand is also the secretary of the party group. There is a specific term for entering the party group sequence of leaders – class members. Those who can become members of the team, in the government sequence, for example, are generally the mayor, deputy mayor and the secretary-general in charge of the office, and occasionally there may be some hanging cadres.

Although the administrative power is in the government, but the core personnel power in the party committee, the government hand is at the same time the deputy secretary of the entire local party committee, under the secretary. So the party ranking is the real status ranking.

Understand this basic common sense, we then analyze the situation of Henan Jiyuan City. This city is a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of the province, which means it is at the level of a department. In China, the rank of the chief official cannot just depend on the title, but is linked to the level of the unit served, so its two chief officials – the secretary and the mayor – are also both at the department level. The secretary-general of the municipal government who took the beating is actually the director of the municipal government’s general office, which should normally be at the full divisional level, and if he is also a member of the municipal government’s party committee team, then he may be entitled to deputy departmental treatment – that is, treatment as a municipal leader. His real role is equivalent to the mayor’s first secretary.

Having gone around so much, the main point is to first explain the status and role of each in the official jungle. The secretary is the main party official, a local hand; the mayor is the main political official, the local second in command; the secretary general of the municipal government is the mayor’s first secretary. The secretary is in charge of the overall, the mayor grasps the specific, power nominally have their own boundaries, but most of the time is a kind of fuzzy boundary, is the need to cooperate with each other in the “you know” situation boundary. Once the two sides have fundamental differences in the general policy and way of governance, the work of their respective subordinates will be very difficult to do.

In the case of Jiyuan, the first hand that the second hand of the first secretary is not qualified to eat in the small cafeteria, slapped each other.

Was the matter of not being qualified to eat in the small cafeteria the cause? Apparently not. Most of the units in the system have a distinct hierarchy, and in this point of eating is no exception, so there are usually small and large canteens. Large canteens are for general civil servants. The small cafeteria is for the four and a half sets of team members mentioned earlier, of course, both in terms of hardware decoration and meal content, the size of the cafeteria are very different. Whether you are qualified to eat in the small canteen, is entirely a reflection of the level of the position. This point for the civil servants who pay attention to the level of respect is a big right and wrong, do not dare to cross the thunderbolt half step of the gulf, so there is absolutely no way there is no qualification but to go to the small canteen this situation.

As mentioned earlier, the secretary-general of the municipal government is generally a member of the party group of the municipal government, so he is technically considered a city leader – according to the rules can eat in the small cafeteria.

The secretary of this slap, but is looking for an excuse. Obviously, in the officialdom that knows how to “beat the dog and look at the main face”, this is to beat the mayor to see. What kind of contradiction there is, now based on the statement of one side alone, do not know, but in the official field of peace and harmony, this public tear is actually consistently taboo, because it is equivalent to directly expose the internal contradictions.

The so-called jianghu habits, privileged thinking is the table, the internal collection of long-standing power boycott, interest strife and even hilltop factions to be erupted is the inside.

It is certain that this conflict is not a day or two, nor a little or two. The contradiction between the local hand, the second in command is not a new topic, in fact, are old content, only most of the off-stage, Ji Yuan unfortunately on the stage.

Many people feel that the Secretary-General is too wimpy, the odd shame of being made to have a heart attack but also the wife to break the news. This may be too young. In my opinion, the Secretary-General is definitely an old man.

Because of the disparity in power and level of difference, a secretary-general and the secretary is unable to face the hard. As a person in the bureau, he knows that the real causes and reasons for the various can not be spread out to say, so the reason for the humiliation said to sue for sick leave, both a silent protest to avoid its sharpness, but also to their own top boss to complain – I am slapped for you, you look after.

In the absence of a response, the secretary-general could not bear the anger of the wife who is outside the matter to break the news, is also a good move. As a person in the organization itself, the body can not help itself, randomly expose not only can not achieve the purpose, and even have no organization law and discipline, to discredit the unit and other big hats waiting. Let the family of the bystander, the image of the victim to come forward, to the third person’s point of view to complain, the effect is different – at best, I did not control the family just.

So the Secretary-General is definitely not a wimp, but also very smart. He knows how to safely and effectively achieve their goals, and in fact did succeed. Of course, the latest news is that the family has been suspended by the state-owned enterprises to “publish negative leadership statements”, the price is also very big. On the flip side, the secretary was affected by this, and I’m afraid it won’t be easy.

As a crowd, we look at this familiar scene, but also can only express regret. Because of a moment of impulse, a slap on the face ruined the revolutionary cause of precedent can be said to be not far away, and this time to a lower version. But it is a pity that there is no longer a U.S. Consulate in Chengdu, and there is less of a place where the ultimate confession can be made ……

The reason why they always feel comfortable and happy is that the line “Peach Blossom Fan” is apt: “Watch him raise a vermilion building, watch him feast guests, watch his building collapse!”
