Zhao Pu, a former CCTV host, commented that the Tangshan authorities’ campaign-style law enforcement can solve the symptoms but not the root causes, and the indifference of bystanders at the scene is not formed in a day.
In the early morning of June 10, a group of men beat women in a barbecue restaurant in Lubei District, Tangshan City. After the incident, related topics quickly rushed to the top of Weibo’s hot search list. Many netizens were shocked by the arrogant attitude and vicious methods of the attackers.

On June 12, Tangshan city authorities announced that they would launch a special campaign for half a month from now on, to rectify fights, insults to women, and extortion.
The CCP police have been ostentatious. On the one hand, it shows that it has done something about the beating incident, and on the other hand, it shows the “knife handle” to warn the people: the iron fist of the dictatorship of the proletariat is not vegetarian. https://t.co/wcGSWddze0

Regarding the campaign-style law enforcement carried out in Tangshan, Zhao Pu, a former CCTV host, believes that the symptoms cannot be cured.
Zhao Pu commented in a video he recorded, “Looking at the actions of the perpetrators, you know that they must be habitual offenders, and they are not the only ones who have committed such crimes. In those corners that are not monitored, there are also vicious incidents that have not become ‘hot search’ even though they have been photographed by surveillance, what should the victims do?”
“I think what the common people need is the rule of law that is universal and normal, rather than special, low-probability crackdowns. The common people do not need special actions, nor do they need sports-style law enforcement.”
“Why can’t the official’s so-called ‘strict and quick’ statement in a timely manner be able to quell the huge wave of public opinion? Because such a statement cannot really improve the legal environment, or even trample on the law again. No matter what If there is a law, why should there be a special campaign of ‘fighting gangsters and eradicating evil’? With the rule of law, why wait until there is a fever before arresting it urgently? If the system that is followed on a daily basis is benign, is it still necessary to conduct criminal investigations in different places? “
“Crackdowns on such cases are only indicators, and long-term and effective rigid institutional constraints are the root cause.”
He said: “Many people are complaining about the indifference of bystanders, but this kind of indifference is not formed in a day. The common people have been repeatedly rubbed and educated by painful facts, and then they have today’s entanglement.”
“If we live in this land, good is not rewarded for good, evil is not rewarded for evil, or even good is rewarded for evil, then don’t blame the onlookers for being too cold-blooded. If you win the fight for righteousness and courage, in case you don’t have a good measure, You have to compensate those people, get into trouble, and even bankrupt your family. The common people joked, ‘If you win, you go to jail, but if you lose, you go to hospital.’ This is the voice of the common people!”
“What can an individual do without an institutional environment that encourages justice? So let’s not blame individuals lightly, because an individual’s bravery in public places is directly proportional to their trust in the rule of law.”
“Bacon said in “On Judiciary”: An unjust judicial judgment is more evil than ten crimes, because crimes only pollute the water, but an unjust judgment pollutes the water.
“Only by forming a benign system and forming an institutional system can we protect each of us. Otherwise, blacks like this will be ‘wildfire’, and such evils will be ‘reborn in the spring breeze’.”
Zhao Pu, a former host of CCTV, resigned from CCTV for exposing the “poisonous food” shady story. In February of this year, Zhao Pu recorded a video to speak out for the Xuzhou “Iron Chain Girl” incident, and disclosed many shady stories about human trafficking in Xuzhou.
On June 12, NetEase published an article titled “The Vice Governor of Hebei Province and the former Secretary of the Tangshan Municipal Party Committee Acted as the Umbrella of Underworld Forces”. The article mentioned that the “underworld incident in barbecue restaurants” in Tangshan was no accident. This has a great relationship with the complex political and economic system of Tangshan officialdom. The article mentioned that in the past few years, the number of important officials who have been sacked in Tangshan is astonishing.
It is worth mentioning that at the same time that the incident of beating up girls at a barbecue restaurant in Tangshan was exposed, family members of victims of underworld forces continued to send real-name reports on the Internet to seek justice for their relatives who died in vain. Some of them had their limbs broken, and shops were occupied; some were chased and sunk by a boat by Haiba, but the coast guard characterized the case as a “traffic accident”. The leaked video and netizen comments have been repeatedly deleted.
