Will Xi Jiping keep his promise of combating corruption as CCP trying to manage exposure of corruption online?

By Reuters,

China's Internet is brimming with disclosures of officials collecting bribes, homes and luxury accessories as casually as they do mistresses.

But while the government tolerates such anti-corruption vigilantism, it is also extremely leery of the threat the Internet can pose to Communist Party rule.

The Internet is the new tool in the fight against corruption - a cornerstone policy of new President Xi Jinping, who has pledged to tackle the problem head-on.

But while acknowledging that China's online world is helpful, authorities have also moved quickly to quash rumors that might fan protests that could escalate out of control, deleting microblog posts or even entire accounts.

The accounts of two people who spread potentially panic-inducing rumors of bird flu breaking out in Guizhou province were erased, according to the China Daily newspaper.

He Bing, vice president of the law school at China University of Political Science and Law, told media that his Twitter-like microblog, or "weibo", was closed down after he forwarded what turned out to be a rumor of a student killing an Internet enforcement officer who had suspended his account.

Author Murong Xuecun, an outspoken censorship critic, said his four weibo accounts, with 8.5 million combined followers, were deleted after he posted criticism of restrictions on what university teachers can discuss with students.

China unveiled tighter Internet controls in December, legalizing the deletion of posts and accounts, underscoring the government's desire to muzzle online debate.

Those convicted of spreading rumors and false reports can be jailed for up to 10 years.

China has more than a half-billion Internet users, and the great popularity of weibo has spawned a legion of corruption watchdogs whose posts can circulate among millions.

"Citizens have readily transitioned from being extremely reluctant to voice their views to being extremely competitive about trying to get their views out there and to gain followers," said Ken Lieberthal of the Brookings Institution in Washington.

PUNISHED FOR POSTING

But protests could threaten stability and the disciplinary apparatus has moved quickly to squelch hearsay.

Police this month detained a 28-year-old Beijing woman for posting that another woman, 22, was gang-raped and thrown off a building to her death and that police refused to investigate.

Police said the victim committed suicide, but were alarmed when hundreds protested against her death, demanding an inquiry.

Also this month, four people in Xinjiang province in China's northwest were given five days' detention for spreading rumors about a murder that police say never happened.

The latest bureaucrat to fall from grace thanks to the Internet was Liu Tienan, sacked last week as deputy chief of the National Development and Reform Commission.

Liu was accused by a journalist in microblog posts of helping to defraud banks of $200 million and of threatening to kill his mistress who reportedly balked at the scheme.

Media fanfare about Liu's downfall "suggested the ruling party welcomes netizens to join the anti-corruption campaign", Zhou Shuzhen, a professor at Renmin University in Beijing told the state news agency Xinhua.

The Internet has snared numerous victims.

An official in Shanxi province was dubbed "watch brother" after cybersleuths posted photos of him wearing luxury timepieces. A deputy bank manager became known online as "house sister" for buying 20 properties in northwest China worth some $160 million and more than 40 in Beijing.

One of the most notorious cases burst into public view last November, with video posted online of Lei Zhengfu, a squat and now-former apparatchik in Chongqing, having sex with an 18-year-old mistress.

Yet another official, ex-chief of the Central Compilation and Translation Bureau, Yi Junqing, was sacked in January when his mistress posted details of their affair.

"These days the government can't ignore this kind of social pressure because it faces increasing questions of its own legitimacy," says Li Datong, a former journalist who lost his job for challenging censorship.
But while Xi has pledged to hunt down corrupt "flies" as well as "tigers", referring to low- and high-ranking officials, the public is still waiting for a big catch. "We have some pretty large-size flies, but no small tigers," said Minxin Pei of Claremont McKenna College in the United States. "The next test case will be to see whether the government will allow a minister's wrong deeds to be exposed, and then to go after him."

The saga of Bo Xilai, a Politburo member drummed out of the party and arrested for corruption and whose wife was convicted last year of the murder of a British businessman, occurred before Xi became president and party chief.

China's ultimate rulers, the seven members of the Communist Party Politburo's Standing Committee, are "off limits" for corruption probes, Pei said.

The government responded with fury when the New York Times reported in October that relatives and associates of then-premier and
and Standing Committee member Wen Jiabao had secretly accumulated at least $2.7 billion in assets. The Times' website has remained blocked in China since then.
@ Thanks to all the answers. I really enjoy the way all the CCP 50-Cents on here jump up to answer my questions, thanks for your hard paid work, which display quite a contrast to the self-righteous answers.

Talking about "Historically", China has had over 5000 years of history, each and every of China's dynasty got collapsed soley tied to corruptions and incompetent rule which are similar to CCP today.

It's true that humans are greedy including government people in well-governed democratic places but in these places democracy allows good checks and balances set up to punish the bad guys.

The ex Hong Kong CEO and ICAC chief are now being investigated by law enforcement just because they are caught dining out and traveling several times in luxuries places. As Prof Lim points out, compared to CCP officials, these 2 HK ex chiefs are peanuts.

According to HK's rule, senior government people must not entertain guests for more than HK$450 per person per meal, t
the ex ICAC chief was caught entertaining many fxxking corrupted CCP commies for over HK$1000 per person.

The fxxking commies probably looked down upon at the ICAC chief for treating them cheap meals of only $1000 in commies' extravagant standard which could not even enjoy sharks fins + big abalone + birds nests.

In HK though, loud complains are being heard throughout the city and in media which forced the 2 guys to apologise to HK people in front of TV. Eliteiji, do you ever see senior CCP guy who are ALL corrupted and abusive ever come out to apologise for their terrible corruptions?
Over 99% of senior CCP's corruptions are exposed by Chinese Netizens, and 95% of those are inside news revealed by these CCP's mistresses or political rivals. Even though concrete evidences are given, CCP only punish "small flies" that belong to middle ranking. Wen Jiabao, Xi Jiping and Jia Qinglin's corruptions exposed in 2012 during the peak of the power struggles were immediately suppressed.
@ Eliteiji, Please read the minds of majoirty HK People as follows, Quote,

CCP is a whole bunch of greedy, ruthless gangsters who do things totally out of their private pockets greed.

Similar to Tibetans and Xinjiangers, Hongkongers are increasingly fed up of the loads of ruthless, ill-mannered and greedy Mainlanders deliberately dumped onto HK by CCP, disrupting peace and cultures there.

Since 1997 merging with China, CCP has already dumped 900,000 ruthless and poor Mainland immigrants to HK, these people are lazy, not follow the cultures and traditions of Hongkongers, and expect HK taxpayers to hand them all the free benefits. We have one good example on Yahoo Answer, CCP the Lap Dog.

The displease of Hongkongers towards CCP/Mainlanders purposedly diluting HK's cultures and traditions is expressed as follows by bloggers there,

ä¸è½å°"中港èå"å°±æ¯ç«ã大é¸ä¸æ·è¼¸å¥é åæåãæ²å¬å¾·å¿æåãé禮æåï¼

Greedy, corrup
Greedy, corrupted and abusive Mainlanders should all be expelled out of the city permanently!
EDIT

The "Choose Best Answer" function dead again. Prof Lim will get the Best Answer with Remarks as follows,

Quote, "Chinese takes 1000 dollar bribe or has affair maybe make some news some will say bribed for that little." So true, CCP guys will lose face for receiving small peanut bribes. Thanks for the answer. Thanks also to WNL's who has a twin Best Answer. The dice rolls to a short answer this time. Thanks to all CCP mouthpieces, without their rants Yahoo Answer is boring.

Answer
The odds are he will try, but as the Chinese saying goes the Emperor is far away and over the hill. He has a near impossible cast.

But comparing USA vs Chinese corruption ain't similar. USA official takes 1000 dollar bribe or has affair, people up in arms, makes front page news of the local media, Chinese takes 1000 dollar bribe or has affair maybe make some news some will say bribed for that little.

Corinthians 11 Instructions for Public Worship?

Dssd D

Are women supposed to cover their hair when they pray? or is the bible saying our hair should cover our heads?

Answer
It might help to explain a little about why Corinthians was written:

The Corinthian church contained some Jews, but more Gentiles, and the apostle had to contend with the superstition of the one, and the sinful conduct of the other. The peace of this church was disturbed by false teachers, who undermined the influence of the apostle. Two parties were the result; one contending earnestly for the Jewish ceremonies, the other indulging in excesses contrary to the gospel, to which they were especially led by the luxury and the sins which prevailed around them. This epistle was written to rebuke some disorderly conduct, of which the apostle had been apprized, and to give advice as to some points whereon his judgment was requested by the Corinthians.

So throughout Corinthians one will see the problem or areas of question being stated (which many people and groups mistakenly interpret as what we are suppose to do). Then later the resolution, to the issue.

In this case, regarding hair, there were different âlawsâ and ârules of conductâ in play with different people trying to follow different rules.

In this case he basically said the church as no rules for or against the covering of a womanâs head. For her hair is her head's natural covering.

1Co 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man hath long hair, it is a shame to him?
1Co 11:15 But if a woman hath long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
1Co 11:16 But if any man seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

Now it does say in 1Co 11:6
but if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.

That it might (note the IF in the verse) be a shame for a woman to have a shaved head, or be bald. In that case if SHE is uncomfortable then she should wear some type of covering.

The following is a Jerrys1960 idea (and not biblical) of why women might have shaved their head (and the âshameâ involved). In those days much as today in several less developed countries. Washing oneâs hair is not a top priority, especially in areas where water is scarce. As a result head lice tended/tends to be more of a problem. The simplest way (without chemicals) to cure the problem is to cut off ones hair.

But even with that there was an IF ⦠If it is a shame for a woman ⦠I might translate it in todayâs English to read if a woman is uncomfortable/embarrassed to be seen bald or with her head shaved then let her wear a cover.

But as far as any official policy regarding a woman covering her head, basically it up to the person and the local laws and customs. But a biblical church rule or a rule to cover her head imposed by Jesus or God, it is not.

Simply put in todayâs English Paul basically said, If there is no local law/rule against it, as far as the church leadership should be concerned, let the woman do what she wants to do regarding covering her head (within the limits of good common sense).

May Our Creator watch over you and your family.
