Officials are supposed to have both "moral integrity and professional competence" before they are recruited or promoted. And, keeping away from suggestive entertainment venues is what a man of moral integrity should do. Then, why are so many officials fond of visiting such places? How many of them indulge in such a diversion?
Yesterday, the People's Daily published the responses of 105 officials (of "grassroots organizations of government and the Party in four provinces") to a questionnaire about their spare-time pursuits.
The answers are interesting. Take the question "Why do you visit business-oriented entertainment venues in your spare time?" Close to half (49 percent) cited the "necessity for establishing connections"; 31 percent said that "it was needed for the purpose of fulfilling work requirements"; and 20 percent admitted to the "personal need for relaxation."
The answers are revealing on at least two counts. First, all of these officials have experience of visiting such places. Second, a bulk of them went to such places for "the purpose of work".
Personal integrity aside, the second reason merits discussion. How come that visiting such dubious places has become part of an official's work? Are such visits really an indispensable part of one's work? If true, it is terrible and shocking. Such a trend suggests that the practice has made its way into the routine functioning of grassroots governments.
