Breaking News – No account of earthquake responsibilities by CCP

Recently, more than ten thousand mainland Chinese people have petitioned to interrogate the Chinese Communist regime’s responsibilities for deaths in the recent Sichuan earthquake. Petitioners expressed that the reason for compiling the ten thousand signature petition to the government, at the face of the national catastrophe, is that under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) the nation has fundamentally returned to the times of tyrranical emperors. Thus if important matters could not be exposed in a timely manner, ordinary citizens of China will also be faced with deep distress.
SOH reporters interviewed mainland Chinese dissident Mr Guo Yongfeng on the subject of the petition. Guo revealed the three issues of responsibility which the CCP government has yet to answer to:
1)The failure to report and distribute earthquake warnings
2)Large scale collapse of school buildings due to sub-standard building material and construction methods
3)Whether clear details of budgets from donations would be made public

Recent explanations given by the Sichuan Department of Education have been met with criticism from academic experts. Guo said, “The government cannot neglect its people. You must take these matters seriously and resolve them. You must acknowledge and admit the problems, you cannot deny them. You cannot fail to admit your corruption, you cannot fail to admit your bean curd construction.”

With regard to donation budgets, Guo Yongfeng feels that charitable organizations in China today, are comparable to a line of business completely monopolized by the government. He expressed, since the people have applied their trust in the government by depositing donations directly into the state bank account, the government should return with a clear indication of how the money has been used. If the government cannot realize a transparent and truthful donation fund management scheme, they would lose trust from the general public. Thus the people of China must interrogate for responsibilities.

With whether the government can respond positively to the interrogations from ordinary citizens, Guo Yongfeng expressed an anticipation of nil. However, Guo said if the number of people who stand up and demand explanations from the government can increase into the millions, there would be a positive step toward the change in China’s political system, into one that reflects the voices of Chinese citizens.
