A recording of an internal speech by Dong Shimin, former director of the Inner Mongolia Hulunbeier Bureau of Letters and Visits, has been circulating on the Internet since Jan. 23. Dong declared that even for the old, sick and disabled petitioners, they must be beaten, and it does not matter if they are killed. But he also stressed that he could not let the visitors die in prison, otherwise things would go too far.
The recording shows that the speech was made at a meeting in August 2019 to maintain the stability of the petition, Dong then cursed: “Some local public security, not to find a way for success, specifically to find reasons for fucking failure… That older can not fight, this diabetic, hypertensive, pregnant women, etc. can not fight. I tell you, must fight! I am responsible for the death!”
But he also stressed that the visitors should not be allowed to die in prison, “die in prison, that’s a big fucking deal… I sent four doctors and eight nurses to watch me for 10 days, must be detained these people, detained for 10 days after all wrote a letter of guarantee, repentance, the effect is very good. The first must fight, the second can not die in prison, die in prison, then you have to consider the public security, public security itself is very afraid of this. Finished you end up dying here again, which is very troublesome.”
The recording circulated overseas via the Internet, drawing angry comments from netizens on social media platforms: “Bandits,” “This is very Chinese Communist Party,” “It’s a black boss setting tasks for the kooks!” “It’s true. Leeks in the eyes of the scythe, just the object of harvesting and carry on”
Some people also pointed out that the Chinese Communist Party officials over the years is actually in accordance with this set of practices, inhumane treatment of the people, the difference is only Dong Shimin put everyone unspoken things to say: “the party state rare honest cadres!” “Do not say. The bandits should keep their excellent tradition of many years. ‘Enter the village quietly, shoot the gun don’t’. Can’t tell the difference between face and lining, should be punished!” “No surprise at all, and the line that there are too many dodgy people!”
While the recording was hotly circulated, NetEase News published an article titled “Officials talk about petitions to say inappropriate remarks: old, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant to death, killed I am responsible” to report on the matter. The article was soon forwarded through WeChat and other channels. But by the afternoon of the 24th, the article was blocked and deleted by the Chinese Communist Party’s network supervision department.
Some people in the WeChat group denounced the deletion of the article as an indication that the incident had struck a fearful chord with the ruling Communist Party authorities, who were afraid that netizens would continue to circulate the article and see the face of Communist Party officials who ostensibly claim to “serve the people wholeheartedly,” but behind the scenes have a brutal mindset of “treating citizens as mere ants that can be beaten or killed” and “stability overrides everything, and stability can be maintained by any means necessary.
The public information shows that Dong Shimin was the party secretary and deputy director of the Hulunbeier City Bureau of Letters and Visits in June 2016, the director of the Hulunbeier City Bureau of Letters and Visits in January 2019, and the director of the Hulunbeier City Bureau of Justice in March 2020.
