Unaccountable Elites

Liu Xiao'ao, a first year university student majoring in Flight Attending, died a few days ago. She and five schoolmates were invited to dinner by six "teachers". How did she die?

You'd think that would be a legitimate question, but you'd be wrong. According to the university's party committee secretary, the press is just trying to cause trouble. Fair enough, no one much cares for the press.

The father and family aren't members of the press though. You'd think someone from the school would meet with the family. Nope, they can't be bothered. All the family has gotten is a phone call from the Dean. He told them to stop badgering teachers.

These administrators, these educators, are scum. Even if this was just an accident. Their treatment of the family is inexcusable.

We have this Flight Attending major at my university as well. Is this a job that requires four years of special training? Of course not. But if there is demand for such a course, so be it. I merely mention the major in order to provide context.

Those majoring in Flight Attendance are forced to dress the part--roller-bags and all. They're forced to work as wait staff at events and functions. In short, few majors are more used or abused.

People are speculating one of these "teachers" tried to force themselves on Liu Xiao'ao. She attempted to escape; she fell to her death. Now the school is trying to cover it up.

I suspect they're right. The dinner in question occurred on the school's anniversary. Just imagine, you've worked so hard; let us treat you to dinner...

You'd think the truth would out. Nope. In this country even mere university professors at a third tier institution are untouchable. It is simply disgusting. The police can't even be bothered.

We've been talking about democracy, getting rid of Maoist thought, the head of the Security Service being demoted. None of it matters at all. There is no rule of law in this country.

This situation makes that truth depressingly clear.
