Therefore, Li Jiaqi's office is arranged like a "Party Construction Office", and he often finds various leaders to interact with the local CPC district and municipal committees.
Sun Mei believes that Li Jiaqi's "overturning" is due to the limited information he obtained "inside the wall", and he has no knowledge of the "June 4th" incident in 1989, including the PLA martial law troops shooting on Chang'an Avenue in Beijing to suppress the student movement. Not knowing what it means to display tanks during the June 4th anniversary, is a victim of China's message blackout.
