In a public interview, Shandong visited Min Zhao, describing the Beijing interception process as a “heading” settlement: visitors who were under police control in the capital would be picked up by security personnel from their origin; She claims that local cadres pay the persons concerned in cash in order to remove complainants who could influence the way of officials. October 10th, New interview with Zhao Xianxi and U Lixin, in English edition, to take the long-standing interception issue to a financial trail worth pursuing — who pays, who collects, what pays, and what pays for. The captors will be handed over from Beijing to the local authorities.

Zhao Zhao claimed that he had been stopped and handed over to the Jinan on several occasions in Beijing. She initially complained about fraud and subsequently was charged, by her own name, with using her authority to threaten and otherwise abuse her in the course of her handling the complaint. > > WWPN recorded her real name report and subsequent criminal investigation process in October 2025 >; The individual conduct of the police officers concerned and the interception transaction were based on the allegations of the client, and no comparable books, receipts or official findings of the authorities were made in public interviews. The report therefore focused on the way she had worked as described, rather than directly placing each amount in the court ' s determination of corruption.

In Zhao Chiu's statement, the “price” of one of the petitioners was not fixed, but depended on the risk posed to local officials by the content of the complaint. she claims that someone stopped in Beijing and that cash was sent back; If evidence of complaints is directed at a particular official, the local authorities are more willing to pay for the trouble. This narrative reveals an incentive that is contrary to the stated purpose of the letter-and-visit system: the central establishment of a visiting window to the public to reflect grass-roots issues; The grass roots may spend money depriving complainants of the opportunity to be heard by their superiors. As a result, the financial reward is no longer the correction of the error of efficiency, but the control of the complainant.

The former soldier, U Lixin, provides another observation. He told journalists about his long-term monitoring, discipline and beatings for his involvement in the activities of the family church, and noted that the budget could form a stable network of interests, from public security, street to local security. These statements cannot be made in simple accounting equivalents: the State public security budget, the public security expenditure, the local interception costs and the improper payments received by individuals are accounts of a different nature. Specific liability will require recovery of payment requests, travel claims, outsourced security contracts and actual recipients; However, the new testimony of Zhao Chiu and Wu Li has clearly pointed to the payment process that should be publicly monitored.

The central question, in terms of legal and administrative liability, is not “the eligibility of the interviewer to be taken away by the money”, but whether any public authority can make the person who reflects the problem a subject of tradable control without a mandatory legal personal status procedure. (b) If the police officer is charged a private return fee, it involves public service conduct and financial discipline; Where local finance is classified as a regular and stable expenditure, it involves budgetary purposes, procurement authenticity and administrative procedures. Even if local officials were to advocate “order-keeping”, they would not automatically replace the legal basis for specific coercive measures.

According to Yip Ming, the author of the rule of law column, it is not the three stimulating words “selling visitors” that really give the allegation news value, but whether the State channels for correcting errors are being run in the opposite direction. The system of letters and visits is designed to address grievances of the population, while the interception of property may turn every successful complaint to the benefit of some institutions. Only by making public the list of persons, the basis for enforcement, the financial expenditure items, the contractor and the outcome of the complaint can responsibility be reduced from abstract “stable” to a traceable administrative decision.

Zhao Chiu has now publicly spoken about her experiences abroad, but the problem has not ended with her leaving China. If the more a citizen can prove that local authority is in violation, the more the local community is willing to spend money to prevent her from going up, the most serious systemic problem is not the unknown whereabouts of a cash transaction, but the loss of local authority to monitor has learned to consider the complaint itself as a cost that must be eliminated.
