After reporting the loss of artifacts, 5 departments have been searched 15 times: Zhejiang's "request to be done" has become an administrative blockade on the reporting persons

At the end of June, Mr. Zhang Zhejiang, a citizen of Shandong Zhejiang, in real name that there was a suspicion of loss of archaeological relics in the excavations of the ancient sinking ship. Two months later, the barbecue garden he operated was subjected to market supervision, comprehensive law enforcement, agriculture, rural areas, natural resources, fire and other five departments, and closed on September

1. On September 13, Zhejiang 12345 revealed that the store received more than 120 complaints, 116 of which came from the same whistleblower; at the same time, the local government acknowledged that “individual law enforcement departments did not normalize law enforcement”. This new set of information did not eliminate the controversy,

116 complaints from the same person, the first exposed to failure of government screening mechanisms

The barbecue has received more than 120 complaints since it opened in May 2025, including 116 from the same whistleblower; the whistleblower has covered 538 issues since March 2025, involving more than 60 cooked food and barbecue stores.

Officials attempted to explain why the department was frequently checked with “a lot of complaints,” but this exposed governance problems. Hundreds of complaints filed by the same person, during the same period, against the same trader in a row should have triggered repeated complaint identification, malicious report screening and joint enforcement mechanisms, rather than transforming each complaint mechanism into a new administrative gateway.

12345 said that they have selected repeated reports and handled more than 10 different issues to the department. Even so, what actually happened was that five departments accumulated about 15 times. In other words, the platform level called "selection" did not prevent multiple law enforcement continuous overlap.

Official acknowledgement that "individual law enforcement behavior is not normalized", the problem is no longer the speculation of netizens

Local relevant departments have confirmed that some inspections have found that barbecue stores have illegal steel shelves, food safety, smoke noise and other problems; at the same time, the judicial administrative department has made it clear that there are "individual law enforcement department law enforcement irregularities" in the process of handling, which will be handled in accordance with the law.

This statement is crucial.It means that the question of whether Mr. Zhang has been subjected to abnormal administrative pressure is no longer just the subjective feelings of the parties. The local government itself acknowledges that there are normative issues in at least some of the law enforcement actions.

The law enforcement agency of course has the power to inspect illegal business conduct, but the executive power must comply with proportional principles and procedural requirements. A trader can be inspected according to law, but can not be subjected to continuous administrative interference from multiple departments in a short period of time due to the loss of screening capacity of the complaint platform. "a complaint" is not an unlimited reason for the administrative authority to open the door.

Heritage reporting overlaps with intensive inspection time, so the supervision rights are impacted by reality

Mr. Zhang, is in 2010 Zhejiang Ancient Sinking Ship archaeological excavations of a blue flower object suspected not to enter the final transfer list. he based on the 2011 "exploration and discovery" program picture and museum public collection comparison, believes that a blue flower cup appeared in the picture in the follow-up data did not fall, in the end of June this year to the real name of Shandong Province Hostel reflected.

Shandong Province Louvre subsequently intervened.On September 13, the Provincial Culture and Tourism Office notified that after consulting the archives, repairing the data and conducting personnel inquiries, the alleged lost artifacts in the web image were preliminarily identified as porch debris, and the relevant situation is still investigated by the Zhejiang City Joint Investigation Group.

Whether the reporting itself is fully established is a problem to be solved; but citizens reflect to the government on public heritage management issues, which is essentially a normal supervision behavior. If after a real-name reporting, the reporting person immediately enters the perspective of intensive inspection by several administrative departments, then regardless of whether there are direct directives behind it, this result will have a clear cold impact on society: ordinary people will link “reporting public issues” to “they may be in administrative trouble”.

Five departments turn up, responsibility should not be diluted into "All 12345 transferred"

Mr. Zhang reflects that the departments that have been checking the store since July include market regulation, comprehensive law enforcement, agriculture, rural, natural resources and fire protection. The media’s public monitoring images show that a number of law enforcement officials appeared in the barbecue.

This chain of responsibility is not complicated:

• Zhejiang 12345 hotline system : receiving and distributing complaints, identifying, aggregating and screening responsibilities for repeated reporting and abnormally high-frequency reporting;
• market surveillance, comprehensive law enforcement, agriculture, rural, natural resources, fire and other departments : legal, proportionate and avoid repetitive law enforcement responsibilities for specific inspections;
• Yunnan District and Zhejiang City related administrative coordination system : face the same merchant in the short term repeated inspections by multiple departments, should bear cross-sectoral coordination and law enforcement responsibilities;
• judicial administrative department: since the existence of "individual law enforcement irregularities" has been confirmed, it means the subsequent

Removing all responsibilities back to “12345 has complaints” is essentially a process to mask administrative discretion. 12345 is just an information input, and it is still the administrative authority to really decide whether to file a case inspection, how to inspect, whether to consolidate the law enforcement, whether to return to the door.

The most dangerous thing is not a single check, but to make the average person believe that there will be trouble after the report.

Mr. Zhang later stopped barbecue business and sold potatoes near the original store. The Phoenix Network on September 14 that he was no longer inspected for a while. This picture can explain the problem more than any slogan: a citizen who public heritage issues, turned from running a barbecue garden to a barbecue store selling potatoes, and the controversial heritage issue is still under investigation.

For the government, the real damage is not whether a barbecue has a breach or oil smoke problem, but the social signals released by administrative acts. If a person actually reports a public agency issue in real name, it is necessary to bear the real consequences of hundreds of complaints, multiple departments rotating inspections and eventual shutdowns, then lawful supervision becomes a high-risk behavior.

Two clear facts have emerged: one is that the complaint is highly concentrated on the same person, and the other is that the local acknowledgment of part of the law enforcement behavior is irregular. Then the responsibility judgment does not need to stop at the motivation level of “no retaliation” that cannot be directly proven. Only the results that have been made public are sufficient to determine that there is a serious imbalance between local complaint governance and multisectoral law enforcement coordination.

A normal administrative system should prevent the power from being repeatedly called by the complaint mechanism to consume the same citizen, rather than waiting for the merchants to close the door and explain “there is a source for every inspection.” What the administrative organs really need to restrict is not only the person being inspected, but also their own power.
