The Discipline Inspection Commission of Yangdong County expressed on its official website, Yangdong Lianzheng Net, on February 8 that "Yangdong County attaches great importance to this matter. The discipline inspection and supervision department immediately investigated the issue in depth. Relevant cadres involved have all been suspended from duty and ordered to apologize to the parties concerned. Now the discipline inspection and supervision department is further investigating and handling the matter according to law."
Reporters from Southern Rural Newspaper learned that relevant cadres involved went to apologize to Mr. Zheng, the party concerned, in the morning of February 4. After the cadres apologized, Mr. Zheng deleted the video he posted on relevant websites and issued a clarification post titled "Clarification Regarding the Incident at Dalin Residents' Committee of Yangjiang City, Guangdong Province." In the clarification post, Mr. Zheng stated that "due to my lack of understanding of the procedures for handling matters, misunderstandings arose, leading to some unpleasant incidents... Now, relevant responsible persons from Dalin Community Residents' Committee have already come to apologize in person, the matter has been resolved, and I hope that netizens will not misunderstand anymore." After the clarification post was released, it drew strong attention from many netizens who were eagerly awaiting the announcement of the investigation results by the discipline inspection commission.
Recently, reporters from Southern Rural Newspaper repeatedly called Vice Secretary Liang of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Dongcheng Town and the Office of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Yangdong County in charge of this matter, but no positive response was received.
Southern Rural Newspaper reported on the front page on February 4 that the cadres of Dalin Residents' Committee in Yangdong County gathered to play cards during working hours and had a bad attitude towards the public seeking services, which caused widespread concern in all sectors of society. The Discipline Inspection Commissions of Yangdong County and Dongcheng Town said they would conduct an in-depth investigation, but the results of the investigation have not been seen so far.
