Jiang Wanan’s team was accused of combining the three elements of officialdom

Quick Look

  • The article pointed out that Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan's team involved in the "three pats" of making decisions, patting his chest to express his position, and patting his butt and walking away, and the "four styles" of formalism, bureaucracy, hedonism, and extravagance.
  • It questioned the lack of investigation and research in his decision-making, the establishment of smoking areas in the name of a smoke-free city, and the installation of sky-high umbrellas by cutting down trees.
  • It also questioned the authenticity of his American lawyer qualifications and called on the judicial and national security agencies to intervene in the investigation.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

The article introduces the "three beats" (beat your head when making decisions, beat your chest to express your stance, and beat your butt and leave) and the "four styles" (formalism, bureaucracy, hedonism, and extravagance) in the CCP's officialdom as unhealthy cultural phenomena, and points out that Jiang Wanan's team is accused of possessing these characteristics at the same time.

◎ Foolish work

The three pats and the four styles are chronic diseases of the CCP officialdom. Facts have shown that Jiang Wanan’s team combines the three pats and the four styles, which is disappointing. The instructions are as follows:

1. Sanpai is the abbreviation of "Slap your head to make a decision, slap your chest to express your stance, slap your butt and leave". It denounces the evil culture of officials who "make decisions blindly based on subjective will or experience without investigation and research, violating objective laws; make promises randomly when the situation is unclear, revel in success, and use empty statements to cover up their lack of ability; pass the blame when problems arise, leave unfinished projects or baggage to their successors, and walk away."

2. The four winds are the abbreviation of "formalism, bureaucracy, hedonism, and extravagance." The core of the Four Styles is the four evils: "lazy government, power rent-seeking, moral decline, and institutional failure."

Jiang Wanan's team recently demolished Beijie's carriages in the name of increasing the carrying space to allow passengers to "settle down" the necessary pillars, handrails and pull tabs. This is a classic example of "making decisions blindly based on subjective will or experience without investigation and research, violating objective laws". Another example is the construction of a cage-style smoking area that is ineffective in the name of building a "smoking-free city". There are also the indiscriminate cutting down of trees in the name of improving the taste of urban landscape, and then replacing them with "exorbitantly expensive and shoddily made" "parasols" that are in vain. Whether these sloppy policies contain hidden illegal secrets such as "power rent-seeking and moral decline", I dare to ask the judicial authorities to quickly intervene in the investigation to solve the doubts of the people.

In the name of establishing a "smoke-free city", the Taipei City Government has built cages and other structures that are in name only. The picture shows the cage-style smoking area. (Picture taken from Threads)

According to Jiang Wanan’s private prosecution information, he is qualified as a U.S. lawyer. It is generally recognized by the society that lawyers should have clear logic, quick responses, and good narrative skills. However, Jiang Wanan left the society with the impression of being "slow to respond, asking A and answering B, and appearing dumbfounded without any aide to provide answers." Is this whether Jiang Wanan's academic qualifications and lawyer qualifications are all "false information," or is Jiang Wanan's "pretending to be a grandson" actually "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger." What is the truth? It is testing the IQ of the Chinese people. But no matter who it is, Jiang Wanan's team combines the evil culture of the Three Patriots and the Four Styles. If it is consistent with Jiang Wanan's pro-Communist and communitarian stance along the way, the mystery behind it needs to be understood deeply by the national security agencies, and the Chinese people must also be vigilant.

Open Questions

  • Does Jiang Wanan really qualify as a U.S. lawyer?
  • Has the removal of pillar handrails from Beijie carriages been professionally assessed?
  • Are the smoking areas and parasols really useless?
  • Is there any concrete evidence that Jiang Wanan’s team is involved in power rent-seeking or moral decline?
