Kaohsiung "city within a city" fire blamed for peeling onions, Chen Qimai fell into a dilemma, was criticized as "five shames and long"

The city-central building in Yancheng District, Kaohsiung City, caused 46 deaths and 41 injuries on the 14th, setting a record for the worst casualties in the history of Kaohsiung fires. Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Qimai has not yet reached the deputy mayor's level of blame, causing a wave of criticism, but does Chen Qimai not want to move, or can not move, into a stalemate? It should be the latter.

Chen Qimai

　　After the fire in the city, the outside world expected to be blamed for the two passes of fire security inspection and construction public security. Su Zhixun, director of the Kaohsiung Municipal Public Works Bureau, and Li Qingxiu, director of the Kaohsiung City Fire Department, were also allowed to resign on the 27th, but the level was too low to be satisfied.

　　According to the Hong Kong China Commentary Network, the Kaohsiung Municipal Government set up an independent administrative investigation team to release the results of the investigation report on the 29th, pointing out that the administration of the Fire Bureau and the Public Works Bureau was not active enough and showed negligence. The two directors of fire protection and public works resigned two days ago, which is equivalent to endorsement and hemostasis.

　　Will the level of accountability be extended upwards? Will there be a deputy mayor who will step down and be responsible? At present, the Kaohsiung Municipal Government is like "peeling onions", slowly peeling layer by layer, and can not give an answer, and the outside world cannot see why Chen Qimai is so unsure.

　　This compares to the July 31, 2014 Kaohsiung gas explosion that claimed 32 lives and caused 321 minor and serious injuries. At that time, Vice Mayor Wu Hongmou, Director of the Public Works Bureau Yang Mingzhou, Director of the Water Conservancy Bureau Li Xianyi, and Mr. Chen Cunyong, Director of the MRT Bureau, a total of four people, resigned within a week to take charge of the resignation.

　　However, the Kaohsiung gas explosion was only after the Kaohsiung municipal government had long been aware of the underground water tank culvert and the "CNPC" pipeline that the four officials stepped down responsibly, but after the inspection, it was found that they were all promoted after the election four months later.

　　In fact, it can be found that it is a very normal official culture for officials to step down and take charge, but the difference is that Chen Qimai's municipal government is a team that has just been in power for one year and two months, and Chen Qimai is "making up the examination" to take office.

　　The three deputy mayors, Lin Qinrong, who supervised the fire works, were deeply trusted by Chen Qimai; Luo Dasheng was also called in by Chen Qimai to help; Shi Zhe was politically rewarded for his strike against Han Yougong, but Chen Qimai's team was almost supported by officials in Chen Ju's era.

　　Therefore, rather than saying why Chen Qimai did not investigate the deputy mayor for a long time, it is better to say that Chen Qimai could not move, the first is that the new team is unstable, the second is that it is impossible to abandon the love general, otherwise there is no one in the DPRK, and the third is that it is unable to move due to factional problems.

According to Taiwan media reports, the fire in the city building in the city caused 46 deaths and 41 injuries, and the Kaohsiung Municipal Government organized an investigation team for this purpose, and the report was released yesterday. In addition to announcing the fire point, it also listed the three major inactive actions of the Fire Protection and the Public Works Bureau, which indirectly led to disasters, and required the relevant bureaus to complete the reform within one year. As for Chen Qimai's questioning of not attending the meeting, the investigation team claimed that Chen had nothing to do with the content of the investigation and did not report to him, so he was not invited to attend. In this regard, Kuomintang congressman Chen Meiya bitterly criticized Chen Qimai for being a "five-shame chief", Qiu Yuxuan said that the whole report was only cutting, and Huang Shaoting questioned, 46 lives only two bureau chiefs stepped down?

Chen Meiya took out the words of Han Hanyu, the former governor of the Green Camp, and sent them to Chen Qimai, directly criticizing the entire report as irresponsible, proving that Chen Qimai was the most absurd, the most seedless, the most liaring, the most greedy, and the most afraid mayor, creating the "five great shames" in the history of Kaohsiung, and basically the "five shameful ministers" who were attached to their posts.
