If you believe background checks are pretty strident in the United States, I suggest you read this wonderful article on the Chinese background checking system, featured on the Danwei website. The article is entitled, Political Background Check of a Petitioner’s Daughter.
The article depicts the true challenges one young Chinese who was trying to gain admission to a university. She undertoook what is politely called the “political inspection” aspect. The political inspection certifies that the applicant has a clean criminal records, does not belong to any cults, is not a gang member, and so forth. Ther eis also another possible hurdle. In this case the young woman’s father petitioned Because her father had once petitioned his village to repay a loan he made. For his efforts, the man was detained for three days.
His dention almost queered his daughter’s efforts to gain admission to the University. I suggest that everyone read this store.
Find it here at The Political BackgroundCheck of a Petitioner’s Daughter. It will giv eyou food for thought, especially around the time of our own Independence Day.
