27.12.2005 Aus der chinesischen Presse: Ein Kohlebaron aus Shanxi soll für 37 Millionen Yuan die teuerste Villa Pekings gekauft und zwanzig über 15 Jahre alte Mitglieder seines Clans mit “Hummer”-Geländewagen beschenkt haben. Dieses Verhalten wurde von Han Qingxiang, einem Professor an der Zentralen Parteischule, während eines Symposiums als “nicht dem Aufbau einer harmonischen Gesellschaft dienlich” bezeichnet, berichtet Renminwang. ZK und Staatsrat befürchten für Neujahr und Frühlingsfest wieder ein “großes Fressen” (da chi da he) der leitenden Parteikader und Staatsbeamten und verweisen wie üblich auf die einschlägigen disziplinarischen und staatlichen Vorschriften. Der Preis für Erdgas wurde am 26.12. erhöht. Laut Renminwang soll das aber für den einzelnen Haushalt nur Mehrkosten von monatlich durchschnittlich drei Yuan bedeuten.
