On 11 August, a video aid was sent to Min Liu Jie Mei, visiting Pudong District in Shanghai City, on 1462 trains to Beijing, to reveal his experience of being illegally guarded by “black guards” assigned by local police stations and forcibly fleeing to Beijing. This incident once again tore up the real picture of the CCP under a stable system, where local governments abused their absolute power and relied on grey violence for illegal control.

From the details of the events to the logic of governance behind them, this seems to be an ordinary “interception” conflict, reflecting the three-fold essence of the operation of the despotic system:

Violence outsourcing: “Black security” is not a “tumour” of the system, but a authoritarian “hand”

According to Liu Jie-mei, as of 2 August, four black guards without law enforcement qualifications were assigned to house arrest on a 24-hour basis; After he fled and boarded, he continued to receive telephone threats from the stalkers.

The “outsourcing” of power by the grass-roots public security forces to the forces of evil and evil in society is not an administrative error, but a necessary choice of authoritarian regimes in the context of bottom-up governance. In the master ' s calculations, the formal police force is subject to nominal legal procedures and is costly; The employment of black guards, on the other hand, can result in the full-time deprivation of citizens' personal liberty at very low cost, and in the creation of natural “political firewalls” — the local government can cut the pots at any time on the grounds of “temporary workers” or “individual conduct of security companies” once the black curtain is exposed, and the effectiveness of the deterrent has long been achieved.

Paramony conspiracy: “Stabilizing the chain of industries” under high pressure indicators

Liu Jie-mei's fate is not an isolated case. Under the “territorial responsibility” and “zero-to-Kyoto” official examination, “the person who has asked the question” is always less costly than “the problem itself”.

This absolute repression of totalitarian power necessarily entails a huge chain of interests. Local officials, in order to keep their hats, would rather spend a huge amount of money on “interception services”, employing black security guards and never solve the real difficulties of the population. In the process, local officials, grass-roots public security and black security companies formed a high-level community of interests, distributing funds from the security forces. At this point, public power has evolved into an institutional “violent kidnapping and profit-splitting machine”.

III. INSTITUTIONAL ILLICITITY: THE CROSS-BORDER CIVIL RIGHTS AND HUMANITARIAN HISTORY

In this operational mechanism, Liu Jie-mei is determined to struggle to defend his rights through the constitutionally guaranteed right to appeal. For authoritarian machines, the rule of law was only a tool for governing the governed, and anyone who tried to challenge the authority of the Authority was automatically classified as “the factor of instability”.

Even more brutal, Liu Jie-mei ' s family still has a child with mental illness left unattended while she herself is under physical threat. This brutal and unwelcome situation, which threatens the very survival of vulnerable groups, and disregards basic humanitarianism, exposes the cold-blooded violation of individual dignity by institutions in the maintenance of their own order.

The fate of Liu Jie-mei was not an “unforeseen error” in the course of law enforcement, but a corollary of the precision of the pressure of the security machine. The tragedy of governance that tramples the rule of law and destabilizes it in the name of stability will never stop as long as the authoritarian logic and the industrial chain of interests, which are “stable above all”, are not broken.
