Coronavirus Update: CCP officials may be held accountable for Wuhan epidemic

China’s high-level accountability for the Wuhan epidemic is believed to have started in parallel with the epidemic. On February 3, the Communist Party of China held the second Politburo Standing Committee in response to the pneumonia epidemic in Wuhan. At the end of the Xinhua News Agency ’s draft, “the meeting also studied other matters.” This has a specific meaning in the political discourse of the Communist Party of China. Generally, it refers to provincial and ministerial personnel arrangements at the routine Political Bureau meetings every month. The next “higher level” appears in the statement of the Politburo Standing Committee meeting. Does it imply a more important personnel adjustment at a higher level? Hong Kong 01 reported today that preparations for military management were made, and the responsible person in Hubei was held accountable.

According to a report from Hong Kong 01 today, central authorities should hold Hubei responsible for other preparations for military control of Wuhan Pneumonia Research.

According to Hubei Provincial Party Committee Secretary Jiang Chaoliang, on the evening of February 3, during the meeting of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee (also the Wuhan Pneumonia Prevention and Control Headquarters Meeting).

Coronavirus Update: General Secretary Xi Jinping’s keynote speech

“Deep reflection on the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s keynote speech, and fully adhere to the central and unanimous leadership of the Party Central Committee on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases.” Test, and learn the lessons carefully … “,

On February 3, Xi Jinping, Supreme Leader of the Communist Party of China, hosted the Second Pole Bureau Standing Committee on the Wuhan Pneumonia Epidemic.

In this meeting, the CCP’s top leaders not only dared to “unite command and send, disobey serious standards but also take responsibility, bold, pushy or threatening”, direct responsibility. Threatened to hold the man responsible, and held the party accountable. Even prominent political leaders have punished those who are in charge of responsibility and are allegedly “investigating other matters.”

Against this backdrop, the report states that the next day (February 4), the Hobby Provincial Commission for Disciplinary Inspection and Surveillance found Executive Vice President Zhang Qin and others concerned about the inadequate allocation of medical equipment.

I suffered Hubei Red Cross Society The sentence was that Zhang Qin was automatically removed from office. That same day, Wuhan Statistics Bureau Deputy Director, Xia Guohua, was instructed to speak to Burhan, Wuhan Development and Reform Commission and Statistics Bureau Director Huang Zhitong and Deputy Director of Wuhan Municipal Government Office. The three men were convicted of illegal distribution of goods …

There have been indications that the CCP will not wait until the outbreak situation begins before the accountability process begins, and “liquidation” may proceed with the anti-pandemic situation.

Public opinion is sceptical that Beijing is completely unaware of the official performance of Hubby and Wuhan, and it is highly likely that the central party and government leaders in Hubei and Wuhan will face public anger.

It is said that, first of all, this pandemic reaction was followed and directed by Xi Jinping himself, and a central leadership group was formed under Li Keqiang.

At the specific level of implementation, the Army has taken control of the distribution and delivery of residential equipment to Wuhan Vulcan Mountain Hospital and even Wuhan residents at the behest of the central government.

In other words, although Hubei Provincial Party Committee Secretary Jiang Chaoliang and the Governor of the province Wang Xiaodong are still commanders of the Prevention and Control Command of the Hubei Provincial New CoronaVirus Infectious Pneumonia, but have limited command and sending options.

Is gone In addition, it is also reported that the Central Monitoring Group, headed by Deputy Prime Minister of the State Council of the Chinese Vice Premier Sun Chunlan, is still overseeing the implementation of the government’s response measures in Hubei Province.

Second, in fact, during the outbreak of the Wuhan epidemic, as the high charge of the province of Hubei, Jiang Chaoliang and his team’s performance was highlighted, which has been blamed. Hubei and the Wuhan Party and government officials have been accused of negative sloth, chaos, even inadvertently reporting and deliberately hiding in the early stages of the outbreak in Wuhan.

The report states that after pneumonia spread in Wuhan at the end of December 2019, it was clearly not taken seriously. High-level parties and government officials in Hubei and Wuhan provinces participated in routine public activities before the Spring Festival around January 20, 2020, such as the provincial “two meetings” held in the month, condolences to the local outpost, inspection in the province.

Poverty reduction, and even the organization Watch Group New Year’s events, etc. that are not related to the prevention of pandemic diseases.

Prior to Jiang Chaoliang’s two deep reflections on the evening of February 3, many high-level officials from Hubei Province and Wuhan publicly expressed their views in their personal identities. For example, Wang Xiaodong publicly apologized at a press conference.

“After the outbreak of pneumonia caused by a new type of coronavirus, the Party Central Committee and the people of the whole country were disturbed. We are very sad, very guilty, and very self-blame.” Deputy Secretary of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee, Wuhan Municipal Party Secretary Ma Guoqiang is more introspective.

“I have a guilty, and self-blame mentality. If I take rigorous control measures early, the results will be better than now, and the impact on the country will be smaller. It will also let the Party Central Committee and the State Council Less worry. “

Once again, Beijing has actually begun to move and has repeatedly called Hubei officialdom. On the same day, on February 3, the Central Organization Department held a teleconference. Chen Xi, the head of the Central Organization Department, warned that formalism and bureaucracy are the main enemies to win the fight against epidemic prevention and control. We must resolutely prevent the situation from rising above the surface. , Shouting slogans …

The report said that on February 3, the Communist Party of China held the second Politburo Standing Committee in response to the pneumonia epidemic in Wuhan. At the end of the Xinhua News Agency ’s draft, “the meeting also studied other matters.” This has a specific meaning in the political discourse of the Communist Party of China.

Generally, it refers to provincial and ministerial personnel arrangements at the routine Political Bureau meetings every month. The next “higher level” appears in the statement of the Politburo Standing Committee meeting. Does it imply a more important personnel adjustment at a higher level?

In response to major public incidents, the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee held a special meeting to study and deploy, and it has its origins. In the near future, if the pneumonia epidemic in Wuhan has been dealt with twice, in the long-term, such as in August 2018

We will hear a report on the investigation of Jilin Changchun Changsheng’s problem vaccine case and related accountability, and in 2015, we will hear a report on the disposal of the Tianjin Big Bang, of which only August 2018 Xinhua News Agency published a “research on other matters”. At the time, Bi Jingquan, secretary of the party group and deputy director of the State Administration of Market Regulation resigned.

However, it can be compared to SARS in 2003, when the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting on April 17 to listen to reports from relevant departments on the prevention and treatment of atypical pneumonia. Although there were no other matters stated in the draft of the meeting, Zhang Wenkang, then the Minister of Health, and Meng Xuenong, the mayor of Beijing, were successively exempted.

According to the report, at present, although the critical period of Wuhan’s pneumonia epidemic prevention and control is happening, if the operation of the original administrative machine has already become a problem, or even become a huge obstacle to the epidemic prevention and control, I am afraid it is difficult to guarantee that the CCP will not adopt the situation that year. Emergency response measures to ensure that losses are minimized.
