In recent years, mass riots in mainland China have been repeatedly and forcefully suppressed. Recently, an internal recorded speech by a senior stability official in Inner Mongolia has been circulating on the Internet, stressing that violence is a necessary means to deal with petitioners, but the premise is that officials should avoid criminal liability. The speech, which has come to light, raises questions about how many officials in China can ignore the plight of the people in order to retain their positions of power, preferring left over right.
The public speech, which has been widely circulated on the Internet, is said to have come from a meeting two years ago in Hulunbeier, Inner Mongolia, to maintain stability. At the meeting, an official condemned the ineffective enforcement of local public security.
The official: “”Some local public security officers do not find a way for success, but only for failure to find reasons, the old visitors can not play, this diabetic, hypertensive, pregnant women, etc. can not play. I tell you, must fight, I am responsible for the death. “
The official who spoke is said to be Dong Shimin, then director of the local Bureau of Letters and Visits. He ordered the public security, can not be sick visitors or pregnant women, such as the net, and said that he will be responsible for any deaths, and the premise is not to let the visitors die in prison, otherwise there will be serious consequences.
Official: “We can’t let him die in prison, die in prison, then the matter will be big. Send four doctors and eight nurses to me for ten days, must detain all these people, detained for ten days after all wrote a pledge, a letter of 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.”
After the incident came to light, Dong Shimin, who was promoted to head of the Hulunbuir Justice Bureau last year, did not positively deny it when questioned by the media, saying only that the recording was pieced together by someone.
Mongolian scholar: Incident reveals brutality of Chinese Communist system
Yang Haiying, a scholar at Shizuoka University in Japan who was born in Inner Mongolia, does not rule out the possibility that the recording was deliberately leaked by someone within the system.
Yang Haiying: “The fact that there are different voices within the Chinese Communist Party system expressing dissatisfaction with this practice just exposes the fact that the Communist Party system is so barbaric that it can ignore the law. The law on minority autonomy or any letter and visit law and so on are useless.”
He said that under the premise of “the party is always right”, individual officials often use four words as the truth in order to save their lives.
Yang Haiying: “It’s better to be left than right, to be political, it’s the implementation of the Communist Party’s policy in the middle. After the individual cadres have problems, and will not make a mistake on the line, at most, the quality of personal mistakes, he is not worried at all. After the front door punishes him, the back door will let him go. In two years, the party will protect him, because the party needs such people.”
Another Inner Mongolian scholar living in Japan, Kubis, said that as more and more Inner Mongolians express their demands through petitions, the threshold for petitions is getting higher and higher, and the cost to the petitioners is getting higher.
Kubis: “For example, when herders go to petition bureaus to file petitions, they are detained on the way. It is normal to be handcuffed and beaten in the car when you are arrested. Going to the petition bureau is like handing yourself over to tyranny.”
Current affairs commentator Liu Rishao argues that in recent years there have been mass riots in China and the current regime demands that the lower levels must forcibly suppress social unrest. The executors also generally have the mentality of feudal dynasty governance, and in the end, they are all superior tasks overriding the hardships of the people.
