Combating corruption online: Excitement mixed with worries (2)

(People's Daily Online)

11:02, December 12, 2012

According to the Chinese constitution, citizens have the right to make criticisms, suggestions, complaints and exposures to the state organs and staffs. However, some important deficiencies exist in the anti-corruption of using micro-blogs. For example, most of Internet users adopt the "presumption of guilt," thinking that no officials are clean-handed, so the micro-blogs became the virtual guillotine for Robespierre, celebrating the victory of revolution. In addition, the deficiencies also include the subjective judgments of public opinion, the absence of laws, the explosive revelations supported by celebrity users of micro-blogs and media, the helplessness of the accused to defend for themselves and the lack of right relief. The vague identity of whistleblowers is easily used in the battles of officials, and the incident of sexually explicit photographs of officials in Lujiang, Anhui province, is a hurt to the public order and moral. The social trust system is being damaged in an era of calling for muckrakers.
