[NTD, Beijing, April 09, 2022]Recently, Shanghai citizens exposed online that the materials purchased at high prices were donated materials from other communities, and residents of this community said that they had never received the materials. The public questioned that some officials in Shanghai were reselling disaster relief materials, making it difficult for the country to make money. After the incident came to light, the vice mayor of Shanghai rarely publicly admitted his mistake, claiming that he would reissue supplies to the missing communities.
On the morning of April 9, the entry #ShanghaiVegetable Gift Pack will be added in time if there is any omission, and the entry on Weibo has been searched for 270 million times. Shanghai Deputy Mayor Chen Tong said at a press conference on April 7 that any missing vegetable gift packs distributed by districts will be made up in time.
However, some netizens questioned this: “What about making up a hammer? I haven’t seen a single dish.” “The problem now is not to make up for leaks, but to not post it in many places.” “I haven’t posted it once, just wait for you to make it up Or watch you slap in the face!” “This Shanghai leadership is really bold, and in this kind of scolding all over the Internet, they can still talk nonsense with their eyes open.”
Shanghai officials rarely publicly admitted their mistakes, admitting that there were omissions in the distribution of materials to residents, and there were reasons for the incident. Recently, Shanghai citizens exposed on the Internet that they bought materials donated to Shanghai from various places, and questioned some officials in Shanghai for corruption, reselling disaster relief materials, and making the country difficult to make money, which aroused public attention.
On the morning of April 8, a Shanghai netizen uploaded a photo saying “buying anti-epidemic materials at a group purchase price”. The photo shows that the cards attached to the material box read “Yuepu Town Anti-epidemic Gift Pack” and “Baoshan Come on”, which should be donated to the residents of Baoshan District. Netizens said that this box contains 10 catties of vegetables and was purchased for 68 yuan.
The official immediately refuted the rumor, claiming that the supplier made a mistake and sent official materials into the market as commodities. But netizens didn’t buy it, and sarcastically said: “It was discovered, it was a mistake. It was discovered, and the rumor was refuted.” “It was a mistake, the label was not torn clean.” There is no real evidence – refuting rumors, but there is real evidence – work mistakes.” “The Shanghai rumor refuting team is comparable to celebrity public relations.”
The exposure of the incident also made Baoshan netizens angry: “Baoshan has no vegetable gift package at all!!!” “Baoshan has not received anything, it has been locked at home for a month, and there is nothing!!!”
A recorded phone call between residents of Dachang Town, Baoshan District and local officials was exposed on the Internet. Citizens said that residents of Dachang Town, Baoshan District, have not distributed supplies, and many people are starving to death due to lack of supplies. However, the residents of Pudong received a splendid package with the government of Baoshan District printed on it. How do you feel as residents of Dachang Town, Baoshan District? At the same time, the 200 yuan group-purchased dishes offered by your neighborhood committee are exactly the same as the free supplies distributed by Pudong.
Citizens questioned Dachang town officials using government materials to make money, and asked the officials to give the residents an explanation.
In Shanghai, there is more than one case of donated materials being sold to citizens at high prices. Some netizens said that the materials donated for free in Anhui were bought by us in a group purchase, and there were “warm reminders” written by Huangshan donors to Shanghai people in the carton.
Some people also bought materials packaged in specially customized cartons by the local government of Xinjiang, with the slogan “Go Shanghai” and the name of the local government printed on it. This box of supplies was sold to the public by a neighborhood committee in Shanghai at a high price of 128 yuan.
Many netizens said: “It seems that the government is down, and you are familiar with it.” “Is this considered difficult to make money?” “I am afraid this is not a mistake, and it can be prevaricate! Reselling disaster relief materials, in ancient times, people would be beheaded. Right? It must be severely punished for making a fortune in the country!”
After the closure of the city in Shanghai, chaos occurred frequently. Many residents were short of supplies, making life unsustainable. They began to protest collectively for supplies, and even clashed with the police. Some netizens summed up the living conditions of Shanghai people in the closed city:
1. There is no express delivery to Shanghai.
2. There is no courier service in Shanghai.
3. All commercial activities in supermarkets, shopping malls and small shops will be stopped.
4. Everyone in this city, regardless of industry, rich or poor, grabs food on their mobile phones.
5. Elderly people living alone, young people who don’t open fire at home, people who can’t use APP to grab food and pay electronically, and people who don’t hoard food are dead ends.
6. Everyone’s life is only left with grabbing vegetables to fill their stomachs and waiting to make nucleic acids.
The city of 725 million people returned to the era of planned economy overnight.
In response to the chaos of Shanghai’s closure, the official media has rarely shouted at Shanghai officials recently, secretly criticizing some officials for “laying down”, inaction, and passively opposing the central government’s zero-clearing policy. On April 7 and 8, five officials in Shanghai were dismissed one after another due to poor epidemic prevention, indicating that the authorities have begun to rectify the officialdom in Shanghai.
Zhou Xiaohui, a commentator on the Epoch Times, said that corruption in Shanghai’s official circles is equally serious, and they don’t care about the lives of the people. Moreover, the Jiang faction has been entrenched in Shanghai for many years, and the horses are all over various government agencies, financial and economic systems. In the context of the ongoing game between Xi and Jiang, they are also happy to read Zhongnanhai’s jokes, and use their own inaction or chaotic behavior to block Beijing.
