The "Guo Meimei Incident" has been wide spread
and caused an unusually large uproar in China.
10 days after the incident was first exposed, Guo,
"CEO of China Red Cross Commerce", is still
being "encircled" by Chinese netizens on micro-blogs.
They are striving to find the truth behind the incident.
On June 28, Red Cross held a media briefing session,
Executive Vice President Wang Weiming claimed that
"Red Cross Commerce" did not exist,
nor did the position of commerce general manager,
and Guo Meimei is not an employee of Red Cross.
Who is Guo Meimei then? Netizens of Tianya Forum
spent 65 hours to obtained Guo's ID number and
dug out two key individuals of this incident:
Guo Dengfeng and Wang Jun.
Guo Dengfeng is Guo Meimei's mother,
whose net worth is hundreds of millions yuan.
However, she has an affordable housing unit.
Guo's Lamborghini registered in Shenzhen
is under Wang Jun's name. Coincidentally,
one Finance Vice Minister in China and
Chair of China Red Cross has the same name.
Their ambiguous relationship is now a hot topic.
Liu Feiyue, head of Civil Rights & Livelihood Watch:
The authorities have tight control over the print media.
Only by using the Internet as platform,
some independent voices can be sent out.
Now many events are being exposed online first
before being turned into hot topics.
When the truth was about to surface, netizens found
that the posts on Tianya Forum would be removed,
as well as similar topics on Sina's micro-blogs.
Liu: This shows that many problems exist in China.
It also shows that the media, including the print media
are being monitored, controlled and manipulated.
This phenomenon per se is abnormal.
Another protagonist in the Guo Meimei Incident --
China Red Cross -- has been cornered by
the relentless investigations by the media and netizens.
On June 27, China National Audit Office released
the results of Red Cross's 2010 financial audit, which
show a questionable amount of RMB 2.19 million
and RMB 4.2 million spent on excessive purchases.
Hu Jun (head of Human Rights Campaign in China):
Red Cross is a charitable and philanthropic organization.
The international community should prohibit the use
of Red Cross by the corrupt Chinese government.
If the international community continues
to allow the sign be used by the Chinese authorities,
it will be a desecration of Red Cross.
Southern Metropolitan Daily published an editorial,
which described the Guo's incident as a tug-of-war
between "anxiety for the truth" and "covering up info".
It also said that people are searching for the truth and
they care a lot about the interests involved
and the incident's link with the public resources.
Hu Jun: Everyone is doing their part to dig up evils
and the corruption of the government and expose them.
If this kind of forces can continue, as in Egypt,
the revolution will soon come to China.
Chinese netizens would make good use of the Internet
and continue to contribute, to form an unstoppable wave
to end the tyranny of the Chinese Communist Party.
On June 28, Red Cross said that it had reported
Guo Meimei to the public security bureau
for fabricating stories and disturbing the public.
Will the truth be revealed?
Netizens are so anxious for the truth
that they are using sarcastic remarks to poke fun.
Such as, "as long as the truth is not out, I am in
no mood to go to work, eat or even get married".
Red Cross has explained repeatedly,
but the netizens are "not in the mood to listen".
