[The Epoch Times, April 20, 2022]While Shanghai residents are still facing the situation of lack of food and supplies, the launch of JD Express makes people think that they have seen a glimmer of hope. Not long ago, JD.com recruited more than 3,000 couriers from all over the country to send more than 60 railway containers and 248 large trucks full of civilian materials to help Shanghai in the form of “suicide one-way logistics”. According to data released by JD.com, on April 15, the number of orders completed by JD.com in Shanghai increased by 67% compared with the previous day. With the continuous assistance of JD.com, the transportation capacity will be greatly increased, and the distribution volume will be gradually completed.
However, on April 18, JD.com Shanghai Xuhui District Huashi Sales Department was suddenly closed by the city management because JD.com was not a guaranteed supply unit; not only that, some JD.com couriers could not enter the community, and the property owners were not allowed to come down to get them, volunteering Some orders were forced to cancel. There is also JD.com’s little brother who complained that they were reported by various black errands and wild groups, including someone who pretended to be a neighborhood committee or property, and prevented them from unloading the goods. A little brother said that he had just checked into the Guarantee Hotel in the evening, but he was reported by someone.
In addition, the Jingdong logistics truck was stuck on the highway because it did not have a pass, and the delivery date was postponed again and again. Some logistics operators in Shanghai revealed that it is difficult to enter Shanghai now, and people without background connections cannot get a pass. “There are several types of passes, and it is necessary to get (and) life security related to epidemic prevention. There are at least three or four units that can handle them. Anyway, it is not easy to handle.”
Why do these things happen? You know, according to the introduction of Wang Wenbo, vice president of Jingdong Group, they did so “with the strong support of the Shanghai Municipal Government”, and “with the support of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, district governments, street offices and other relevant departments, Jingdong Group We have arranged resources such as hotels, dormitories, and apartments to solve the resettlement problem of supporting employees.”
Since it is supported by the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, the district governments, the Sub-district Office and other relevant departments, it means that the relevant hotels, dormitories, and apartments should not reject JD employees, and the neighborhood committees and property management under the Sub-district Office should not obstruct JD.com. Brother’s delivery, JD.com’s sales department should not be closed, and JD.com’s freight trucks should not be unable to get a pass. But it does happen, so what went wrong? Whose interests did Jingdong move?
On April 9, JD.com CEO Xu Lei’s Weibo remarks revealed some clues: “JD.com has never spared no effort in anti-epidemic rescue, and has never paid for it, and is willing to use its best supply chain capabilities to efficiently support any city in need, and , the cargo is not the problem, the capacity is not the problem… But under special circumstances, some things cannot be solved by yourself, and you can’t do it forcefully, this feeling is very uncomfortable. …”
What things can’t be solved by JD.com itself? Naturally, it’s political policy, and it’s most likely related to local officials in Shanghai. The story behind this is intriguing. According to common sense, for the sake of his official position and the protection of the basic people’s livelihood, the chief official of a locality should welcome and give full support to such large enterprises that take the initiative to help solve Shanghai’s problems. The water in Shanghai is very deep.
A net name “David Jingdong BD” wrote after the Jingdong sales department was blocked: “(JD.com) mistakenly thought that during the pandemic, everyone can work together to help each other, who would have thought that in Shanghai, the water is so deep, the situation is treacherous, and power seeks. Rent, monsters are born in large numbers. JD.com is just an ordinary company, so you don’t have to deduct too much social responsibility from yourself, so as not to cut people’s wealth and kill their parents.” Therefore, he suggested that JD.com withdraw from Shanghai to avoid getting deeper and deeper.
True to its word, Shanghai has gone from a non-closed city to a semi-closed city, and then to a complete city closure; from the leadership of Shanghai to the direct command of the high-level officials of Zhongnanhai in Beijing, the dynamic clearing policy was set, and Vice Premier Sun Chunlan was dispatched to sit in Shanghai. Mobilize the army and medical personnel from various provinces to station; from Li Qiang, a top confidant of Xi Jinping, supporting Shanghai’s epidemic prevention policy to insisting on supporting Xi Jinping’s decision-making, and then shouting to Shanghai officials, asking them to stop “blaming, delaying, and dodging”; from Shanghai people can’t eat Food, no medical treatment, more than 100 people died during the prevention and control period and many other chaos and all kinds of strange things, the water in Shanghai is really deep.
As an international metropolis, Shanghai has hosted many large-scale international and domestic events. It is not ambiguous in terms of completing political tasks. Even when the epidemic broke out in 2020, there was no current tragic situation. This shows that Shanghai’s organizational management capabilities are not not bad. However, after the closure of the city this time, the inaction or passive actions and even chaotic actions of leaders at the Shanghai and district levels can be seen. Only some neighborhood committees are struggling. The location of the disaster is also the fundamental reason why JD.com was blocked.
Previous analysis has pointed out that officials at all levels in Shanghai are “blaming, delaying, and dodging”, except that some Shanghai officials do not agree with the top-level clearing orders that seriously affect people’s livelihood, and are unwilling to act, there is another reason that Shanghai is Jiang In the old nest that has been entrenched for many years, Jiang sent horses all over the government, finance and other fields. Some of them use their power to secretly contribute to the chaos. They sit and watch the jokes of Sun Chunlan and Li Qiang, and the jokes of Zhongnanhai. The people’s anger has led to Beijing, and even recently, when the Shanghai people’s patience has reached the limit, they directly challenge Beijing, and Beijing’s response is to “persist on clearing and unswerving.”
It can be said that whether it is the Beijing authorities who insist on clearing it, or the Jiang faction and other opposition forces who secretly disrupt the situation for their own self-interest, and officials who do not act because they are dissatisfied with Beijing’s policies, they sacrifice the vital interests of the people. In this wrestling, the Shanghainese became the real victims.
So far, the chaos in Shanghai has not been eliminated. Many people still do not have enough to eat and do not see illness. Some people are secretly stumbling on JD. To settle the officialdom in Shanghai, they can do nothing to deal with the phenomenon of officials acting in favor of yin and yin, and their officials still do nothing or do little. In this case, in order not to take responsibility, on the one hand, they show that they are acting under the highest instructions, and on the other hand, they start to make fakes and find a way to go down.
Recently, Sun Chunlan went to old communities and other places during his inspection in Shanghai, allegedly to “understand” the epidemic situation on the spot, but was exposed as a “set shot” on the rooftop of a state-owned enterprise building, and was ridiculed by netizens “Let’s make a movie, people here. Less, it will not be infected and disturbed, and the news can be seen at night.”
Sure enough, in the CCTV news on the 15th, Sun Chunlan said, “Under the leadership of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, the joint fight against the epidemic has achieved phased results. The spread index of the epidemic has dropped from 2.27 at the beginning to 1.23 now. We will realize the society as soon as possible. The goal of clearing the face is just around the corner.” This is probably a foreshadowing of ending the ban. For some reason, she did not mention that it was an instruction from Xi, and threw the “pot” to Li Qiang, who said in the first sentence of the news, “We resolutely implement the spirit of the general secretary’s series of important instructions on epidemic prevention and control. , adhere to the general policy of ‘dynamic clearing’ and unswervingly.” What is the situation?
Since Shanghai’s blockade and control industry has caused a huge disaster of people’s livelihood and supply chain crisis, a large number of foreigners have fled, and its international image has fallen to the bottom. Beijing will continue to insist on clearing it, regardless of its notoriety, let the disaster expand, and take the opportunity to crack down on opposition forces, or deceive itself. Announcing “victory” hastily, perhaps there should be a difference before May Day.
