Beijing separate commentaries on current affairs: Peng Dingding

The article referred to public securities, "there are still many outstanding issues and weaknesses that need to be solved urgently." Meng Jianzhu urged public security departments, "to deepen the public security information technology, law enforcement standardized construction, the building of a harmonious community relations."

Did not reach the real reason

In an interview with BBC China web interview, Beijing Independent political commentator Peng Dingding said Meng Jianzhu assessed the situation in line with China's actual conditions, but he did not touch on the real reasons that affect social stability.

He said, "are stereotyped, how to close to the people, how to do law enforcement, but in China's current system, the police are under the leadership of the party, who is the Government's tools."

In enhancing public relations problem, Peng Dingding says, "Since the beginning of 2008 has been emerged large-scale mass incidents, the public security departments should used the police with caution and do not abuse, firmly do not do what do not have to do, but it is not possible because the command right of the public security departments at the local government, funds are allocated by the government."

Internet

Meng Jianzhu mentioned in the article, the Internet has become the "the Internet has become an important means for the anti-China forces to infiltration and sabotage, magnify the destruction."

Peng Dingding said, "the government has realized the important of Internet. For a long time, the rule relied on blockading the news, it may be easier to carry out the guidance of public opinion. The Internet has such a tremendous destructive impacted the pattern."

He said, "China has extended through the Internet to achieve freedom of expression."

Peng Dingding considered that the article is worthiness because it noted that authorities want to publish authoritative information: "From Lhasa, 3 • 14 incident to Xinjiang 7 • 5 incidents, the Administration's approach has a more obvious transition. It is more open to the media in the events."

Meng Jianzhu acknowledged in the article about the people's legal rights awareness, significantly enhanced, public opinion, social supervision, an unprecedented increased, which put the public securities forward to new requirements for law enforcement activities, Peng Dingding think this shows that the authorities are helpless.

He said, "People have a sense of safeguarding rights, it is difficult as it has done with the government and the police authority to command the masses."

Credibility

The awakening of public awareness of their rights also forced the public security departments in dealing with issues of conflict and contradiction to make concessions.

Peng Dingding says, "I have seen many times, the public security department, said the pliable words: Everyone go away, do not give us trouble, the situation we understand, find the relevant departments to resolve the things. But we say these words are useless, without any practical value. The problems the public security departments are now facing, are their own can not be solved."

In commenting on the article, he said, "the article did not mention the substance of the problem. If not cure, but to curb the symptoms, are useless."

Only if the fundamental political system has changed, it will be possible satisfaction of the people. The party lead to the Government and the judiciary, has no right checks and balances, it is not credible."

He said, "this article, in my interpretation, that is to say, the Chinese public security authorities admitted: We have no method."
