"Innocent people can't find you": Chongqing Showhan streets protest the rupture of grassroots governance scar

Recently, the Chongqing City Commercial Center showed a public event with a very symbolic meaning and sad colours: an elderly visitor (Wu Shichich) with a hand-wrapped, hand-wrapped hand (Wu Shichich) with the inscription "Where the Central Inspectorate Group is where the guilty people can't find you" openly protested along the main road. However, this scream that will appeal directly to the public's eyes did not last long, and many quickly rushed law enforcement and stability personnel forced him away from the scene. This scene in short videos and social media sparked a wide range of controversy, and once again exposed the long-standing structural contradictions in China's grassroots governance under the lights of the crowd.

Desperate “behavioral art”: Why are conventional remedies completely failing?

In the current political mobilization and letter visits system, the “Central Inspection Group” has long been viewed by the vast majority of people at the bottom as the ultimate “green sky” and rescue for breaking down local interests, correcting judicial injustice and bureaucracy. However, when an aged old man had to take the most primitive and most risky way to find the inspection group by hanging in the streets, it was just a thorough blockade of the conventional letter visits and the legal relief system at the grassroots.

The phrase on the badge "the wrong people can't find you" is not only a question about the secret and insufficient severity of the inspection group's journey, but also a silent complaint about the bureaucratic style of "stage by stage, layer by layer, long delay" that has long existed at all levels of local correspondence departments. When the legitimate right remedy doors are locked on the "stable control" and interception mechanism layers of the system, individuals will have no way to go except to put themselves in the light of the spotlight to carry out a solitary public struggle.

When legitimate remedies for rights are empty by various administrative barriers, and when people exercise the right of expression conferred by the Constitution must bear the physical risk of being forcibly controlled, this is itself the greatest slander to the bottom line of the modern rule of law.

“The beginning is the extinction”: the rule of logic over the rule of civil rights

In response to such events, local authorities showed a high level of "agility" and "efficiency". Multiple uniforms formed in a very short period of time and forced control and control of the parties. This "start-up is eradication, exposure is control" model of emergency and stability reflects the absolute pursuit of local governance for "social stability"

• everything that can trigger public attention and influence performance evaluation, is seen as an open expression of "source of instability" that must be eradicated immediately.

However, the fundamental cornerstone of modern political civilization and the rule of law society lies in the process of justice and open dialogue to resolve social contradictions, rather than “the people who can not resolve the contradictions, to resolve the contradictions.” The governance logic shown in the show show show, is a complete reversal of the end: it does not try to solve the source problem that leads to the old life wrong, does not pursue the possible administrative failure or judicial wrongdoing, but expose the problem, express dissatisfied citizens themselves as the object of strike and control.

Conclusion: Morse's "Search for the Inspectorate" has evolved into an unresolved absurd drama of the time

Chongqing Shuangshan old man's street protests, is not an isolated individual puzzle, it is countless grassroots culprits in the long-term heavy pressure and disregarded icebergs. The central surveillance system was originally set up from the top to the bottom, the grassroots surveillance, but if the upper level surveillance is always unable to effectively penetrate the local thick defence network, can not let the bottom level of the people touch the reach, then the "search for surveillance group" will eventually evolve into an absurd and sad social landscape. The policy of government is not to endlessly increase the police force and stability machine, but really open the door to the conversation, place the local power completely in the sunlight, supervision of law and the track.
