Wang Lijun’s US Consulate Incident

Vice Mayor of Chongqing, China, Wang Lijun, entered the U.S. Consulate General’s office in Chengdu City on Feb. 6 and stayed overnight. After leaving the building the next day, high-level officials escorted him to Beijing for questioning. The event attracted a lot of attention in China and many foreign news services reported on it. Wang’s U.S. Consulate visit also triggered some criticism within the United States over how the U.S. State Department handled the event.

During Wang’s visit to the U.S. Consulate’s office, he revealed some inside information to Peter Haymond, the U.S. Consulate General in Chengdu and two other consuls.  ”According to an informed U.S. official, Wang Lijun disclosed information relating to his boss Bo Xilai. Wang accused Bo of corruption and being well connected to the criminal underworld. Wang also talked about how Chinese police routinely repress dissidents,” stated a U.S. report. 

This is the first time that U.S. media reported that Wang had talked about the “repression of dissidents” during his visit to the U.S. Consulate office in Chengdu.

Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, issued a formal letter to U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, saying, “I have asked the U.S. State Department to hand over all details of Wang’s visit, his defection, current status, and whereabouts.”

 

Tianren:The CCP definitely deserves retribution!!!

Falun Gong practitioner desiring for freedom and democracy:Wang Lijun was unworthy of political asylum in the United States. He was just a victim of factional struggles within the Chinese Communist Party, but not a refugee who suffered persecution because of differing political opinions.

MQ:A PRC official asking for America’s protection is really ridiculous!
 For six decades the Chinese Communist Party has hindered people aspiring to become a China which is civilized and harmonious. Instead it has brought all of China into the jungle of human primitive society, and finally the Party itself could not escape its fate of being eliminated.

Gongzheng:What the U.S. has done is to give up human rights and create the image of a coward.

KZG Netizen:I think the articles on “www.kanzhongguo.com” are not objective, and are just making the readers feel regretful. In the future please do not release any article which is not objective or is just casual speculation. This will mislead the readers. Overseas Chinese are all well-educated and do not believe the articles without evidence in them.

Youyisi:The topic of this article is not so appropriate, but I think it was objective.You mentioned that the articles in “kanzhongguo” are not objective. Can you be a little bit more specific? In addition, how do you represent the overseas Chinese, could you reveal a little more?

China wants democracy:This incident was entirely a dereliction of duty for the Americans! It was because the U.S. is only after acquiring economic interests that they gave up larger, core-natured, and more significant fundamental interests! Looking at the approach that the U.S. used in dealing with this incident, the United States seems no match for the CCP!

China wants democracy:My viewpoint is that I doubt the top level officials in the U.S. have gone along with the CCP!? Wang Lijun is asking for asylum at the U.S. Embassy in Chengdu, why didn’t the U.S. give him the most stringent protection!? Are we going to wait until General Secretary Hu Jintao goes to the U.S. Embassy to seek asylum, and then the U.S. will admit the fall of CCP!? It’s really worrying to look at the American’s thinking! Forget it! The United States of America being owned by the People’s Republic of China would be better! Losing such a good chance (for Heaven) to annihilate the CCP, the U.S. was not entitled to blame China!? The U.S. had better give all the rights for maintaining global security to the CCP! The Americans really do not live up to our expectations!!!

KZG Netizen:Obama has definitely lost an opportunity to destroy the Communists and brought shame on the free, fair, and brave U.S. spirit! In my opinion, two results can prove that the United States is still the defender of justice —- First, Obama’s sense of shame and then brave conduct, which are recognized by the world to eliminate the Communists. Second, Obama steps down due to the erroneous and ambiguous disposal of the Wang Lijun’s incident!

qdg1949:The U.S. government remained silent in Wang Lijun incident, whether the U.S. government also encountered the problem of “national security!”

KZG Netizen:It’s Heaven’s will to annihilate the Chinese Communists! During this period, the people choosing their own support, objection, or carelessness will be evaluated by gods and whether they can survive in the future will be determined. Regardless of the President Ma or a beggar, it’s equal for all people before death! However, there is a group of people I can definitely tell you will not make the selection: a five cents (meaning a loyal Chinese communist) or the human-beasts who have the same ground with the five cents, one hundred percent can’t survive after 2012!  The answering is complete.

Mantian Piaoxue:Both Wang and Bo made a lot of contributions to Chongqing, and the civilians were also pleased with their hitting the black economically.

Youyisi:

Yeah, it’s hard to see this kind of specimen.

Who were happy for him (Bo) to ‘sing for red (meaning standing up for the CCP)?’ Bo, ‘singing for the red,’ sang out over two thousand billion dollars, which are Chongqing people’s money. After ‘singing for the red’ and grabbing away all of the political capital, Bo soared away, however, leaving the Chongqing people a pile of bad debt as their burden. Who will be happy if they have clear heads?

Bo cut Ficus virens in Chongqing, and replanted ginkgo trees which were expensively purchased from other provinces with hundreds of thousands of  dollars. Bo and his cronies obtained such ill-gotten gains, and which civilian in Chongqing was happy with this?

Bo, hitting the black, treated the private entrepreneurs as the black to hit, and so that do you know how many workers, the private entrepreneurs’ subordinates, hated him?

Hitting the black illegally is just the same as trampling down the law, civil rights and the media’s supervisory rights, which will harm society endlessly. Which civilian in Chongqing was pleased with this? Only those who have vested interests and those civilians who were cheated by the mouthpiece of CCP will be happy with this.

You don’t know:I’m from Chongqing and make my living on building construction. Bo appropriated funds for renovating the façade of buildings on both sides along the streets in Chongqing, including all districts and counties under the jurisdiction of Chongqing. The fund allocated was one billion for each district. However, the slogan for the facade renovation was only two years’ guaranteed.

KZG Netizen:This could illustrate that without media freedom, there is no freedom of thought. Bo is a good man? It’s a big joke. The media brag about this man every day, giving him credit for all achievements and blaming others for all bad things. You cannot but admire him. Everyone is a fool in Mao’s era? Apparently not, this is the power of propaganda. If China wants to change, changing the media will be the first step needed 

Qingxing:I personally thought that if Wang Lijun had gotten political asylum from America, then when his front foot just stepped into the territory of the United States, his rear foot should be prosecuted, because he has persecuted Falun Gong practitioners before and how can they easily let him go? I think he was aware of this, and for the rest of his life he will either go to jail in China or be imprisoned in the United States. Say it best!

I think that the reasons the U.S. is having difficulty accepting Wang is as follows. First, Wang has committed crimes against humanity, and he was nothing but an evildoer. He was just a victim of the internal struggle of CCP, and was totally different from political dissidents. If the U.S. gives him asylum, this will violate the value of the U.S’s power. Second, if the U. S. gives him asylum, this will give the other Party officials a bad precedent, and they will unscrupulously persecute civilians. Once having setbacks in his political career or being excluded by other Party members, they can flee to the embassy to ask for asylum escaping trial and punishment.
