According to information revealed by Beijing independent journalist Gao Yu, some Beijing public security personnel mocked the targets of “stability maintenance” by saying that they listen to the “command of a donkey,” and that “the donkey listens to a pig.”
As the “Year of the Red Horse” approaches day by day, the Chinese Communist Party’s “sensitive period” is increasing. Gao Yu stated in a post on platform X on February 13th that whenever there is a hint of information leaked during gatherings with friends, the authorities swarm in from all sides. On the 9th of this month, she was confined to her home for a day due to an inexplicable “sensitive period.”
On February 6th of this month, an elderly lady in her eighties in Beijing passed away, and was cremated on the morning of the 8th without even leaving behind ashes. The passing of this elderly lady became a “sensitive period” simply because she had attended an “Enlightenment Salon” initiated by Tao Shilong and Mr. Du Guang nine years ago. Although the salon had been shut down by the authorities nine years ago, a group of Beijing residents who had attended the salon began to be inexplicably “confined” by the public security starting from the evening of the 7th of this month.
A person who was “confined” in the Haidian district questioned the public security and received a response, “The sub-bureau may also not know, it was directly arranged by the municipal (public security) bureau.”
Another individual who was “confined” in another district questioned the public security, “We don’t even know who has passed away, can you justify such a panicky reaction while wearing this police uniform?” The public security replied, “We grind, and listen to the donkey.” When asked, “Who does the donkey listen to?” the response was, “To the pig.”
On the 9th, the police also visited Gao Yu’s home, and when she asked, “Why are you here?” The response was, “Just here for a short visit.”
On social media, there are often jokes made about the Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping using the term “pig.”
Under the post, a netizen commented, “The police are making animal analogies! Baseless complaints, even a knife doesn’t like to hold its own hand anymore, what a joke! If you don’t want to be a police officer, you can go work as a delivery driver.”
However, it has been previously disclosed by informed individuals that in recent years in the Chinese Communist Party’s official circles, officials privately mock and satirize the Party’s leaders almost without restraint.
According to independent commentator Du Zheng, who once revealed to a Taiwanese media outlet “Shang Bao,” various gatherings in China nowadays circulate jokes about Xi. Not long ago, an unnamed retired senior Chinese Communist Party official commented on Xi and the Party, saying, “When Xi first came to power, people still had some hope for him. Now, no one says he’s good, everyone curses him, and people are eagerly awaiting the collapse of the Communist Party!”
Professor Yuan Hongbing, a Chinese legal scholar residing in Australia, stated in a video program earlier that discussing Xi Jinping was a taboo topic in Beijing’s official circles in the past, and everyone tried to avoid talking about him as much as possible. However, the information conveyed recently among Beijing officials is that in their private interactions, they almost shamelessly mock and satirize Xi Jinping. Some very indecent nicknames for Xi Jinping continuously appear in private conversations among officials.
