As everyone knows, at the most severe moment of the new crown epidemic, an unknown scientist led a team to quickly develop the world's first new crown inactivated vaccine, and this scientist is Yang Xiaoming.
Who would have thought that this highly decorated scientist would now encounter such a political storm and be dismissed from his post as a deputy to the National People's Congress by the Standing Committee of the Tibet Autonomous Regional People's Congress?
What is the reason for this? What are the hidden secrets? For a time, this incident aroused strong concern and discussion in society.
On the face of it, the official announcement that Yang Xiaoming was "suspected of serious violations of discipline and law" seems to have given clear reasons for his recall. However, if we savor the word, it is not difficult to see that it is still full of questions.
What kind of "serious violations of discipline and law" can lead to such a major political blow to a scientist with a good reputation at home and abroad?
It is not difficult to imagine that at the critical moment when Yang Xiaoming was developing a new crown vaccine, he must have faced tremendous pressure and challenges. We don't know if he has ever encountered obstruction from interest groups on his long road to fighting the virus.
Or did he offend certain members of the power in the process of promoting vaccination?
Disturbingly, there seems to be a deeper political game behind this incident.
We note that in addition to Yang Xiaoming, several deputies to the National People's Congress were also dismissed, including Han Shuwang, former chairman and party secretary of the Aerospace Investment Holding Co., Ltd., and Gu Zhengju, former secretary of the Nanchong Municipal Party Committee in Sichuan Province.
Does this mean that the roots of this case may be traced back to a broader power struggle?
In fact, in the course of the development of scientific research on the mainland, similar encounters are not unique. We have to admit that sometimes the achievements of scientific and technological innovation do not always receive the respect and support they deserve, but may become the target of coveted by certain interest groups.
This begs the question, why do our scientists often have to struggle in a less friendly environment?
I believe that no matter what kind of injustice Yang Xiaoming endured in the end, his great contribution to the fight against the epidemic has been written into a monument in history.
Even if the "father of the new crown vaccine" encounters such a political storm, I believe that he will still stick to his original intention and make unremitting efforts for the scientific and technological cause of the motherland.
What we should think more about is how to create a more relaxed and fair development environment for the mainland's scientific and technological innovation in the future.
