The recent incident in which Zhang Zhanwei, the secretary of the Jiyuan Municipal Party Committee, slapped Zhai Weidong, the secretary general of the municipal government, made the notorious city famous. Zhang Zhanwei thus got the name of “slapping secretary”. But there is more than one CCP party secretary who is famous for slapping, from former members of the CCP Central Committee Political Bureau to local city and county secretaries.
The story is simple on the surface: Zhang Zhanwei saw Zhai Weidong eating breakfast at the city hall stove and scolded him, “Who are you to eat here?” The company’s main business is to promote the development of the company. Zhang is an official, full of contempt and rude tone of voice. When Zhai went up to explain, he was slapped in the face without being told. Some reports analysis refers to the municipal party committee secretary and the mayor of the open struggle, hit the municipal secretary-general, which has the factor of standing in line, “Why the secretary of this hand you do not stand, but stand to the second hand that the mayor side? “So hit this slap to show that he is the real boss. In his words: “”Playing cards also know that there is the size of the king”. After beating people, Zhang Zhanwei the next day also said in the General Assembly: to always be loyal to the organization, never allow the eyes of the organization, when the political two-faced people, pseudo-loyalty, in fact, these words, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Xi Jinping often speak.
Many officials of the Chinese Communist Party see themselves as overlords once they have great power in their hands. But this thing was done so savagely that it resulted in public outrage. First of all, the secretary-general’s wife, Shang Juan, a brave woman, stepped forward to publicly expose her husband’s beating on the Internet, and the municipal party secretary’s black hat was finally removed. The official media also clapped their hands and condemned the slapping secretary for his evil deeds.
In fact, this is just one of the very few scandals uncovered among the Chinese Communist Party officials who slapped their subordinates, the most famous being Bo Xilai, a former member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and secretary of the Chongqing Municipal Committee. Bo Xilai was so upset by the report that he called Wang Lijun in the next day and slapped him across the face, adding, “Go ahead and sue, why don’t you sue me, too? “The case of Bo Xilai, which shocked China, kicked off shortly afterwards, when Wang Lijun was removed from his post as director of public security by Bo Xilai, and Wang ran to the U.S. consulate in Chengdu for refuge. Bo Xilai was once seen as a rival to Xi Jinping’s rise to power, and was very close to the then king of politics and law, and later to the imprisoned Zhou Yongkang.
Another more famous one is the former secretary of Wuwei City in Gansu, Fire Ronggui, who was exposed in 2019 for punching and kicking his subordinates at every turn, kicking the secretary general of the municipal party committee to the ground, “holding a shovel handle to chase and beat district cadres”.
The slapping of the secretary is endless, in addition to the triadization of the party organization, officials see their subordinates as servants, “the official level to crush people, become a “slave master”, “black bully” in addition, but also with the Chinese Communist Party’s struggle for power and profit is difficult to separate. From the central to the local level, there are two sets of party committee and government, because “the party is leading everything”, the party secretary is called “the first hand”, the head of government is usually the deputy party secretary, “the second hand “, but this first and second hand, because the tube involves different, difficult to balance the power, there is a structural open struggle. The former “crown prince” Sun Zhengcai suddenly fell on the eve of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, there is a media analysis and he and the “anti-corruption minister” Wang Qishan Beijing work together a period of experience is very related, at that Time Wang is the mayor of Beijing, and Sun Zhengcai is the secretary-general of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee Secretary Liu Qi, Wang Liu The Beijing Municipal Party Committee Secretary Liu Qi’s secretary-general, Wang and Liu were at odds, so Sun Zhengcai naturally became Liu Qi’s man from the structure.
In his article “I see bloodlust in the wife of a slapper,” scholar Sun Liping offers another perspective: slapping is a more serious insult, but he questions “Isn’t it a commonplace thing? Is it not part of its ecology?” “When there is a force that compels you to flatter and smile and sell your dignity. Isn’t that force an insulting slap in the face? When there is a force that makes you have to say bullshit that doesn’t even need a bit of logic, isn’t that force a slap in the face with insult? When there is a force that makes you do something you don’t even want to do in good conscience, isn’t that force an insulting slap in the face? For a person’s personality, for a person’s dignity, which of these does not contain no less than a slap of insult? Which is not an invisible slap? When you have suffered all this, what is so special about a tangible slap with a little flesh pain attached? “
Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC), stressed on January 22 at the fifth meeting of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection that “the Party should be ruled strictly” and “unswervingly promote the construction of the Party and the fight against corruption” to “celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party with excellent results “. Since Xi Jinping took power in 2012, these words have been repeated countless times, Xi Jinping anti-corruption has been against almost a decade, but why slapping the secretary one after another constantly? Anti-corruption why the more anti-corruption, both the official expensive to the Central Politburo Standing Committee of Zhou Yongkang, and the embezzlement of huge sums of money to more than can be counted Lai Xiaomin?
