When five officials of a county government, who could take the case of a wealthy man, came to the bar late at night to provide “door-specific services”, the entire local credit system was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Hebei's official "Deep Night" in West China, "Detailed Government Letter: Disappearing power in a rule of law business environment"

It's an undisguised, directed hunt.

On the evening of 4 June 2026, five public officials from Tangshan Hebei moved to Western County and entered a local firm in haste.

This is not an ordinary legal research. The team was led by the Deputy District Chief, accompanied by the Director of Justice, the Deputy Director of the Water Department and the Chairman of the State Enterprise. They were all surrounding the computer of the lawyer, Kim Bo-an, for a case that was about to open, and amending, as appropriate, a Situation Note issued on behalf of the county government.

Counsel removed from the court room key statements against his party, and the official document was stamped and brought to court.

This “VIP-specific” government document has had a remarkable effect. The relocation city court in the neighbouring districts thus overturned its original decision of recusal and sentenced two outsiders to lose their case.

Two innocent private enterprises, over 400 workers and hundreds of millions of dollars in investment, were thus crucified to death by a paper knocked out of the firm.

(association report:Hebei officials came to the house to draft government documents at the lawyers' office of the rich.I'm not sure.

One.

Authority to “take the goods to the door”,

The firm became the “public service”

Ordinary people who go to government to get their numbers in the lobby will have to experience a traditional odour of waiting.

But the faith-building industry under the banner of the Iron King of Tangshan is clearly enjoying a very different kind of super-standardization.

In an attempt to carry out a challenge, the five local officials of Western County moved to the office of the other party's lawyer, and then moved the desk directly to the office of the other party's lawyer.

In this amazing scene, the power of public power and the sense of distance are lost.

Counsel Chau-An admitted, unavoidably, at the trial that the document had been altered on his computer and that his tweets had been sent to the Government Office for confirmation.

The phrase “whether or not to have the effect of a title document is legally defined by the legal authorities” in the text was slightly removed by lawyers, which was wiped clean and clean.

Throwing hot potatoes into the legal definition was the most basic common understanding of local administrations to circumvent ultra vires intervention.

But that summer evening, common sense gave way to efficiency, and public power opened the door to the demands of stakeholders.

An administrative document that should have been serious, objective and neutral has been completely endorsed by the lawyers of the rich.

We have seen power in the cage of the system, but it is indeed a great insight to have power to take its own initiative to put itself in a firm of one of the parties to accept the “soft” and modification of the lawyer.

Two.

Redhead file of the “Turn of Power”,

Who's job is broken?

The overnight note, the only central purpose of which is to hit the face.

Who's in the face? The government of West County has been displacing itself.

As early as 2021, in order to solicit funds and promote the rehabilitation of the river, the Western District Government and the District Public Security Bureau issued a Certificate of Qualification in White and Black, which specified that three enterprises, including Taibai Industries, had “qualification for the disposal and sale of the river sand and pebbles”.

With the endorsement of the Government ' s credibility in black and white, three private enterprises have destroyed real and silver, investing more than $400 million in the new, first-class sandstone factory in Hebei industry, and recruiting hundreds of workers.

However, in pursuit of the 60 million debts of another enterprise (the Zhenye industry), the company forcibly seized more than 500 million sandstones from the three innocent outsiders through the courts.

To help the faithful to level the bill in court, the relocation of the western county government had to be hard-headed and to overturn its commitment yesterday.

The fact sheet, which was issued in 2026, reduced the original “competence for disposal and sale” granted to the enterprise to “only prove the legality of the market entry”.

Word games are a good game, but the price is extremely painful.

Three businesses that entered the court were made fish meat on the board. The machinery in the plant was rusty in the rain, with over 400 workers forced to stop working and hundreds of millions of direct economic losses unpaid.

At the national level, the Supreme Court ' s Guidance is more explicit, requiring a firm determination to prevent and correct the use of administrative means to intervene in economic disputes and to prevent and correct local protectionism. The judicial spirit of the draft law on private economic promotion also repeatedly emphasizes the need for government agencies to fulfil their contracts with private enterprises, without discrimination.

But in the wrinkles of local execution, these policies sometimes go against a chorus that has been changed overnight.

Once converted as a chip, credit is not only the job of a few normal-run businesses, but also the basis for the entire local business environment.

“Gravitational Wave” of the administration of justice

“Gravitational Wave” of the administration of justice

Why does the court follow the current?

The court should have been the last line of defence in this myth of politico-commercial interaction.

The relocation court initially retained a little bit of clarity. In November 2025, they had decided to seize 500 million gravel to mortgage 60 million debts, which was “over-standard seal”.

In April 2026, they also suspended the mining of sandstones at the two outsider enterprises on the basis of the Certificate of Qualification of 2021 of the Relocation County Government.

This shows that the judge is as clear as he is, knows where the law is at and what is overexecuted.

But when the “detailed” “factory” “fact note” from the firm came to court, the attitude of the court of re-assigned to the court was turned 180 degrees.

On 8 October, the Court not only accepted the defective document in its entirety, but also directly overturned its April decision.

The reasoning part of the judgment is, moreover, full of rhetorical games.

The Court stated that the two Government documents were “uncontroversial”, that the old documents addressed “saleability”, and that the new document responded “who belongs”.

As for the naked notes and deletions on the draft, the court waved: even if there were proposals for amendment, the burden of proof of the document could not be denied, provided that the stamp was stamped.

It is a question of whether the courts are considering cases or are giving the authorities the caps of treachery.

In a mature modern system of law and order and a highly developed market economy, the executive branch's adherence to the principle of “limited government” that is “unauthorized or prohibited” is not directly at the heart of economic interests and of business trust.

Any executive power that is suspected of favouritism or even of being directly involved in a civil and commercial dispute under consideration would inevitably face an extremely stringent procedural review. An official document, with the participation of a representative of a unilateral interest, is subject to a destructive examination of its evidentiary validity in court.

However, in this case, a manifestly biased document is the best excuse for judges to descend.

The low-level errors in the instrument, which can be spelled out even by the date of the summons, the time of its seizure and the amount of time at which it is seized, add to the scale of the sentence, a treachery of the dignity of the judiciary.

The judge's soft pen makes the rule of law business a hollow slogan.

"Self-help" storm and bottom-line piercing

It would be naive of you to think that this is just a court-martial game. The brutal and unbridled methods of work are equally shocking.

For a year, the construction sites of three unacknowledged businesses were stopped by large numbers of unidentified vehicles around the clock.

They set up roadblocks at the only access road, set up surveillance around the factory area and subjected their employees to constant stalking and intimidation.

The rich's relatives even openly shouted at the scene that “the business wants to go”, and that the air is so high.

The police have been reported as many as 100 times. Only two regular staff members reported 33 and 21 police officers respectively, and eight case-in-chiefs were issued at local police stations.

If only ordinary people had a little bit of a street stand, they would have been in the air for a long time.

However, in the relocation of Western County, the local police have maintained alarming “restraint” and condonation in the face of such blatant disruption of production operations.

Neither the core organizers nor the legal removal of the roadblocks was summoned, and no substantial punishment was ever seen.

Moreover, law enforcement officials present in the court even defined this long-standing violence as “self-saving measures” in a less-described manner.

The Supreme Law, in its guidance on optimizing the rule of law environment, clearly states that the legitimate rights and interests of private enterprises and entrepreneurs are protected by law, that economic disputes are strictly distinguished from offences and that the use of criminal or administrative means to intervene in economic disputes is firmly prevented. Law enforcement oversight should be strengthened and the control of disorderly seizures and inspections should be centralized.

But the very notion of the rule of law, which is built on these high houses, seems to be turning into invisible air in the face of the entanglement of local interests.

What do private enterprises operate on the basis of legal documents that can be changed in the morning, when the siege of violence is tacitly used as a rescue, when the judiciary is reduced to a rubber stamp of executive intervention?

What is the point of a debtor who has enough assets to pay off its debt, but what is the point of a business that needs to catch a few innocent outsiders?

The obvious eye knows that the drunkards are not meant to drink, but are trying to swallow the entire sandy resources of the river at the smallest cost.

It's an undisguised, directed hunt.

The cornerstone of the business environment,

"Screech" of power that can't afford it

Local economic development and the survival of private enterprises are not dependent on the wine cup of the leadership or on the conspiratorial enterprise. The contract is based on the spirit of contract, the legal weight of the public documents and the independence of the judiciary.

When five officials of a county government, who could take the case of a wealthy man, came to the bar late at night to provide “door-specific services”, the entire local credit system was on the verge of bankruptcy.

The old story of the “unindicated customs” is now appearing to be in another more sophisticated and more subtle form, in some places, in which corpses are being borrowed from the outside of the courts.

This must not be confined to a mere absurd judgement.

The superior disciplinary and judicial oversight departments need to be involved in thorough investigations.

What are the motives of officials who come to the firm to make a keyboard call and provide such a thoughtful cross-border service?

Find out what law enforcement personnel are being held indifferent to hundreds of police calls and who are they protecting?

If a paper that has been removed by private lawyers can easily determine the ownership of hundreds of millions of legal assets and drive three independent investing businesses out of their way, then the rule of law business environment that we sow every day becomes a joke on the wall.

The confidence of entrepreneurs, which is built on the basis of equity and justice, is extremely fragile and precious. But to destroy it, five county masters plus a barrister, one night is enough.
