Qi，Bo ：The collapse of local governance in China behind the Tangshan beating
齐波（Qi，Bo）
In Tangshan, China, nine members of the underworld flirted with women and beat them to the point of serious injury, The social media has set off a huge wave of public opinion. The nature of this incident is extremely bad, and the unscrupulousness of the perpetrators is staggering. Nine big men surrounded and beat four weak women, which further aroused the anger of public opinion. Under the pressure of public opinion, the public security authorities quickly arrested the suspects, presumably to appease the people with heavy sentences. There are many vicious social security incidents in China, and the attention caused by this incident from the private sector to the official is beyond imagination compared with similar cases before. We should see that this vicious social security incident in Tangshan highlights a serious problem in China＇s development, that is, the problem of local governance. This is by no means just a social security incident. Some members of the underworld who beat people have criminal records in the past, but they can retreat completely. After committing a crime, they drove a famous car with a special license plate and took out the license without difficulty under the strict local epidemic prevention regulations, which shows that these people are inextricably linked to the local government, especially the police. In other words, there are people inside the local government to support them. It＇s just that this incident is so big that the top level in Beijing knew it. The local government is probably unable to continue to protect the criminal underworld. A family of police and bandits is a serious drawback in the governance of local governments in China . For a long time, in demolition, street vendor management, and even in this epidemic prevention operation, local governments have used the power of the underworld to implement policies, which is a widespread phenomenon of non-disclosure. The Tangshan incident allows us to see how serious this phenomenon has become, and to what extent the social governance of local governments has collapsed. The Chinese triad forces have always been a serious challenge to local social security. This incident has further demonstrated the arrogance of the mafia in China, which has shocked many people and worried about their own safety.
