China tried to extinguish the ‘mother chain’ scandal that summarized the Olympics

One account run by the People’s Daily, the Communist Party’s mainstay newspaper, offers a guarantee that the investigation will be effective, by saying: “The truth will eventually appear!”

China is increasing efforts to relieve broad public anger over a mother of eight children found chained in the neck in a rural hut after the local authority was accused of underestimating the problem.

The East Provincial Government Jiangsu formed a team to “find the truth, punish those who violate the law, hold them involved responsibly and release the results to the public in a timely manner,” said the middle television Thursday on Thursday in a brief statement about one of his social media accounts .

One account run by the People’s Daily, the Communist Party’s mainstay newspaper, offers a guarantee that the investigation will be effective, by saying: “The truth will eventually appear!” A newspaper published by All-China Federation Women said in the social media post that the decision by Jiangsu authorities will “respond to public concerns.”

Investigation and guarantees by several largest country media outlets in the country 1.4 billion people are signs that the government of President XI Jinping came under greater pressure to complete the scandal, which threatened to shelter the Beijing Winter Olympics. XI – which last year led Chinese proclaimed celebrations had defeated extreme poverty – using the event to increase his position before the party’s congress later this year where he was expected to secure the third term as a leader.

The fate of the woman had boiled because the video showed that it was confined to a doorless hut appeared at the end of January, then circulated during the Chinese New Year holiday Weeklong. The topic is one of the most multiple utas on the Weibo platform like Twitter on Thursday, interesting hundreds of millions of scenery. While many people said they were encouraged that their calls for closer appearance were heard, some warned that local authorities might block investigations.

“Can I trust the results of the investigation done in yourself?” One Weibo user asked.

Contradictory statement

Most of the public anger has been directed at officials in Xuzhou, the third largest city in Jiangsu’s rich coastal province bordering the Shanghai financial center. Their initial statement seems to shrink the fate of women living in Dongji villages and sometimes conflicting each other.

One of the four statements said there was no human trade involved even though two people were then detained because they were suspected of committing the crime.

Officials said a friend brought the woman to unite who suffered from talk and schizophrenia’s disorder to Jiangsu from Southwestern Province Yunnan last year for medical care and found “a good family to get married.” He was separated from the person and married his husband in 1998, they said.

Last week, the police held the 55-year-old woman with suspected of being a violated law. Official statements have not provided age. The authorities also have not provided age for couples, although social media posts speculate, they range from two to 23 years.

Beijing-based Caixin Global has asked questions about the real identity, citing research by former investigative journalists who said the photo on his marriage certificate did not seem to match the image of the woman seen in the video. Caixin also reported that the second woman in the same village lived in similar circumstances as that, referred to the clip that appeared on social media that was no longer online.
