Rich Chinese Businesswoman Suddenly Removed from CPPCC

From NetEase:

Dismissed CPPCC Member Liu Yingxia Once Traveled with High-Level Officials on Official Business Trips, Changed Outfits Multiple Times in 1 Day

Liu Yingxia’s eleven year long career as a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) came to an abrupt end on the 20th. No official explanation has been given.

Liu used to serve as the vice president of All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce (ACFIC). Yicai Daily called someone inside the ACFIC yesterday, [who said] they are aware of Liu Yingxia’s dismissal, that the specific reason is complicated, with both objective factors and factors pertaining to Liu herself. ACFIC will not make any comments on the incident for now.

As a businesswoman with both wealth and beauty, Liu has a very impressive background. She was born in 1972, has obtained a master’s degree and is currently the chairwoman of Harbin Xiangying Group.

Liu was reportedly the youngest provincial Political Consultative Conference member and vice president of provincial Federation of Industry and Commerce in Heilongjiang in 2002. In March 2003, Liu was elected to be a member of the CPPCC, setting a new record for the participation of businesspeople in the CPPCC.

On New Fortune magazine’s 2002 China Top 400 Rich list, Liu was ranked 179 with personal assets of 500 million yuan. Later on, when a mainland media publication selected the “Ten Wealthiest Women in Mainland China”, Liu came in 8th. According to reports, Liu currently is worth over 1 billion yuan.

Around 2005, she accompanied high-ranking government officials on official business trips. According to someone on the same trip, she maintained a high profile among the accompany business executives. She paid great attention to her appearance, sometimes changing outfits many times a day.

In contrast to her high profile in political and business circles，Liu tends to keep her personal life private. Apart from briefly mentioning that her father works abroad in her profile on her company website, she has never talked about her family publicly.

On 2012 May 30, the Cooperation Framework Agreement on China West-East Gas Pipeline Project Third Line was signed in Beijing. Petro China introduced the National Council for Social Security Fund, Urban Infrastructure Construction Investment Fund and Baosteel Group as new shareholders. Together, these companies will invest in the pipeline project. The project is the biggest PetroChina project that welcomes social capital, with an investment of over 110 billion. As the chairwoman of the Urban Infrastructure Construction Investment Fund, Liu attended the signing ceremony, as did then chairwoman of Petro China Dong Jiemin.

Too many clients, [needing] several outfits each day.

The connections and protective umbrellas behind these people should be investigated. In the over 30 years since the Reform and Opening Up, for many multimillionaire and billionaires, just where did their money come from?

Look at the masses of workers, peasants/farmers, and migrant workers. Look at the millions of laid-off workers. They don’t have a job, any power, or any skills, most of them are around their fifties, unable to find employment again. With less than 1000 yuan income every month, they have to support their family and pay for their kids’ school tuition, while there is no retirement pension or medical insurance for these people. They are a group of people that are completely overlooked by society.

Comrade Yingxing used her own hard work to change her life and sets an example for workers, peasants/farmers, and migrant workers. Everyone will succeed as long as they work hard. The society needs those who can create wealth. Every person who’s creating wealth for him or herself and for society is at the same time also creating opportunities for employment and survival for others. For those who are well-off, it’s normal for them to change even 100 outfits every day. And those who are jealous, they can do nothing but be miserable~

All laws are useless, because good people have no use for them whereas bad people will not become well-behaved simply because of their existence.

Leaders today have already completely lost the trust of the ordinary common people. No matter how you propagandize yourselves, we are not going believe it. We only believe the truth. With money, you can do anything and everything. How many of those government officials are upright and honest? Criminals and thugs have become government officials and rich. Relying on honest hard work is not enough. Using connections, trading money or sex for power, that’s how you get promoted and rich.

It’s in women’s nature to pursue beauty. The internal and external beauty women exhibit unconsciously are of poetic grace. Dressing up for their loved ones is sweet. But showing off their charm in the face of money and power is naked seduction.

The rest I won’t comment on, but I just want to say, why is her mouth always opened so wide?

How are these members selected? Removed? Who has the right to remove them? Why isn’t there any explanation? Is the CPPCC governed by a minority [select few]? Just who does the CPPCC represent?

Probably slept with the government leaders during those business trips!
