Ma Xiangyu of Tsinghua University reported to the discipline inspection department for one year and four months, but did not receive a reply, which cannot help but raise questions about the actions of the discipline inspection department. Could it be that officials protect each other? Or a nest of snakes and rats? The road to reporting is so difficult, where is the credibility?
We need to recognize that discipline inspection departments may be faced with a large number of reported cases, which will take a certain amount of time to investigate and deal with. However, 1 year and 4 months is indeed not a short time, during which Ma Xiangyu did not get any reply, and he was "furloughed" by the unit for more than a year, which is indeed easy to make people suspicious and dissatisfied.
Perhaps, we cannot easily conclude from this alone that the discipline inspection department is inactive or that there is a situation in which officials protect each other. Maybe there are some complicating factors in the process that we don't understand, or more evidence is needed to support the content of the report.
Ma Xiangyu had no choice but to report online, which has indeed attracted more people's attention and may also prompt the relevant departments to speed up the processing. This also reflects the fact that in some cases, traditional reporting channels may have certain "limitations".
If everyone who goes to report is so "limited", then who else can give justice to the masses? If there is no national netizen supervision and investigation, there may not be an investigation result in 2 years, 3 years or even 10 years.
This incident also reminds us that when handling reported cases, discipline inspection departments need to communicate with whistleblowers in a more timely and effective manner and give feedback on the progress of the investigation. At the same time, it is also necessary to further improve the whistleblowing mechanism to ensure that the legitimate rights and interests of whistleblowers are protected and enhance the public's trust in the whistleblowing system.
If the efficiency of the discipline inspection department can be as efficient as that of the "infrastructure madman", I think the whole society will be much cleaner.
We cannot blindly speculate on this incident, but should wait for the discipline inspection department to give a clear answer. At the same time, it is also hoped that relevant departments can learn lessons from this, improve their working methods, improve work efficiency, better perform their duties, and maintain social fairness and justice.
