During the two sessions in Beijing, Hu Xijin, the editor-in-chief of Huan Shi, published an article criticizing “the company only hires employees under 35 years old” as age discrimination. It was not expected that some netizens would then turn up the 2017 recruitment requirements of HTS, which instantly embarrassed Hu Xijin. In recent days, Hu Xijin has posted articles in support of delayed retirement, but almost every article has been bombarded.
Hu Xijin, who is now 60 years old and has reached the legal retirement age in China, posted an article on Weibo on the afternoon of March 4, saying that age discrimination is indeed a problem with universality in Chinese society. “Some job advertisements blatantly state that they only recruit employees under 35 years old, and it’s really not easy to find another job when people are laid off at a certain age.” He believes that China’s 14th Five-Year Plan will delay the mandatory retirement age, and that age discrimination must be combated at the same Time.
Unexpectedly, not long after Hu Xijin posted the article, some netizens caught the “Ringing Times” 2017 recruitment conditions limited to young people under 35 years old. In response, Hu Xijin immediately posted an article defending that the age discrimination he mentioned in his article is a “universal problem” and Huan Shi is also a part of Chinese society and “cannot be exempted from it”.
However, a large number of comments appeared below his article, the majority of which criticized Hu Xijin, accusing him of finding excuses to advocate “delayed retirement” and expressing support for the CCP’s delayed retirement policy.
Netizens have said, “Old Hu has been talking so much, but in summary, six words: support delayed retirement.” “There is no age discrimination when officials, the older the better, who do not want to retire, drink tea and read the newspaper than at Home comfortable, ordinary workers early on the body are emptied, and then delay is to play with Life …….” “The official words of a set, delayed retirement is to delay the pension, looking for what age discrimination excuse, when others are fools?”
In fact, Hu Xijin published the above article on the 4th before the evening of the 3rd also in the microblogging article, the beginning directly said “Lao Hu personally is in support of delaying the statutory retirement age”, and said this is the only way to solve the problem.
In this regard, netizens directly denounced, “lack of virtue, Hu Xijin”, “can not give up the system’s sense of superiority is true”, “you represent a part of the people, we know, but you do not represent the majority of Chinese people “.
The Chinese Communist Party has frequently mentioned “delayed retirement” before the two sessions in Beijing, and on March 3, the mainland media also said that “delayed retirement is an imperative”.
