Canada-based pop star Wanting Qu pleads for mother in Harbin death-penalty corruption case – but China’s netizens are unimpressed
Canada-based pop star Wanting Qu has issued a heartfelt plea for justice in the long-delayed Chinese corruption case against her mother, a former Harbin city official who prosecutors want executed for allegedly embezzling 350 million yuan (US$52 million)
Qu’s posting on Weibo, telling how her “heart aches” for her mother Qu Zhang Mingjie, went viral this week. Posts carrying a hashtag referring to her comments have been viewed more than 230 million times, but elicited an overwhelmingly negative response from Chinese netizens.
The former Harbin City planning official is accused of profiting from a real estate scam that reportedly left hundreds of impoverished farm workers in appalling conditions, as real estate developers tried to force them out of dorm accommodation on a state-owned corn farm that had been transferred into private hands in 2009.
Zhang is said to have deceived farm managers about the terms of the land transfer, allegedly receiving about 350 million yuan (US$52 million) in kickbacks from the new owners. Chinese media reported that the new owners tried to force out workers who lived on the farm, cutting off their pensions and eventually shutting down the boiler in the dorms; January low temperatures in Heilongjiang province average -24 Celsius.
Wanting Qu and her whole family are corrupt from head to toe. Another victory of Chairman Xi. Soon her mother will only exist in her dreams!
