There is a lot of discussion about this incident in China, which can be seen as the arrogant attitude of elitists towards the public and the dirty interest relationship of the publishing industry.
Elitists only want to impose personal preferences on ordinary people in various ways，only a small number of publishers can obtain the right to publish textbooks, which gives them room for profit.These very important positions are held by those "own people".
The most interesting thing about this incident is that many scholars and consultants involved in editing textbooks are defending the illustrator.This makes the people very suspicious of the stance of these "social elites".

I know the attitude of these people well enough even though I have not been to China in decades and don't know the language very well. They exist overseas and love to impose or impress their narcissistic ideology on others. Sadly, many people seem to be impressed by them, probably for their being outspoken rather than logical.
Being the brains behind the education departments is bad enough, much less as the leaders of the country. I prefer to think the rise and fall of the dynasties as anomalies. Instead, I want to believe China can be a supreme power for eternity. So, don't make stupid mistakes.
Nice to see forklifts saving people for once rather than killing them like they always do.

A total of 28 people, including the main suspect Chen Jizhi, were prosecuted on Monday for involving in a , North China's Hebei Province following 80-day of investigation under public great expectation, as there was solid evidence of their crimes.
On the same day, the procuratorate authorities of Hebei released a separate statement, in which they said that they also filed cases on 15 people holding public positions, eight of which were taken into custody for their suspected abuse of power, corruption and offering a "protection umbrella" for criminal gangs.
The Tangshan assault occurred at a barbecue restaurant on June 10 after midnight, when four women were assaulted and attacked by a group of men, which prompted widespread condemnation and triggered a heated discussion about whether criminal gangs were involved and why the attackers were so unscrupulous.
Social media echoed with cheers immediately after the phased probe result was released on Monday morning. The hashtag "protection umbrella of the main suspect in Tangshan assault case being investigated" was trending on top of social media platform Sina Weibo, which had generated over 540 million views as of press time. Netizens welcomed the authorities' investigation. "Justice eventually comes," one netizen wrote.
Observers said Monday's announcement responded to the people's long-awaited expectations for fairness and justice, and also revealed the determination of Tangshan to eradicate organized crime to restore public confidence in a safe China. They believed a fair penalty for those suspects will follow.
With the close cooperation of the Ministry of Public Security, disciplinary authorities in Hebei investigated the suspected organized crimes and protection umbrellas behind Chen's case. Among the 15 people being investigated, eight holding public positions were taken into custody. The initial probe showed they were suspected of involvement in the abuse of power, receiving bribes and bribing others.
Among the eight were Ma Aijun, the deputy head of Tangshan's Lubei district and head of the district's public security bureau, and Hu Bin, head of a police station branch. Six other officials were all in police positions.
Shi Guizhong, the deputy head of the public security department of Hebei Province, said the Tangshan case exposed the shortage of police working mechanisms and their capability in handling cases, and it is a harsh lesson for public security organs.
All public security organs of Hebei will take the chance to optimize police management and the credibility of law enforcement so as to effectively respond to the people's expectations for peace, stability, fairness and justice, Shi noted.
In a comment on the probe, Shen Yi, a professor specializing in cyberspace at Fudan University, told the Global Times that the announcement is encouraging as it responded to public expectations, though it took a long period of time.
Netizens generally believe the Tangshan assault was an accidental, extreme case that affected the country's public confidence toward a safe China. Their reaction to Monday's probe result was rational, which signifies the strong belief in judicial and government credibility among the Chinese public, Shen noted.
Next, Langfang's Guangyang district people's court will handle the public prosecution against Chen and relevant defendants.
The procuratorate organ revealed that Chen had gathered other members, who gradually became an organized gang in recent years. Since 2012, Chen and others stayed together for a long time. They were involved in 11 separate criminal cases, including the illegal custody of others, provoking affrays, intentionally injuring others, and opening a casino for gambling, robbing others, and hiding their criminal records. There were also four administrative violations including provoking troubles. The organized gang was gradually formed with Chen being the main organizer.
The gang committed crimes, oppressed people, and destroyed the local economy and social order, resulting in a bad social influence, the procuratorate authorities said.
On the brutal Tangshan restaurant case, the procuratorate authorities stated in detail that at 2:40 am on June 10, Chen and three colleagues firstly harassed a woman surnamed Wang. Chen beat her up after the woman resisted. Later, six people used chairs, beer bottles and punches to beat up Wang and three of her friends.
Two of the victims were identified as having had slight bodily injuries and the other two suffered minor injuries of Class II level. The procuratorate authorities dismissed online rumors saying that the four victims were sexually assaulted in a small alley, thrown from a building, and run over by a car.
Lü Xiaoquan, a Beijing-based lawyer, told the Global Times that the final sentence will depend on how many and how serious the crimes involved were. Factors such as the nature of the crimes, detailed circumstances and the consequences of the crimes will be considered.
The case now was transferred to a district-level people's court, and such a grass-roots court generally brings in a verdict of fixed-term imprisonment of up to 20 years for multiple crimes. But given the huge and lasting social impact the crime has caused, Lü suggested procuratorate authorities to file a prosecution to the Langfang Intermediate People's Court in the first instance. The lawyer explained that a trial in a higher-level court does not necessarily mean a more severe penalty for the suspects, but shows the authorities place a high value on the case.

It is a bit funny how out of touch with the rest of the world some mainland people who don't travel much are.
"Having such a violent case in the modern era of 2022 is not normal, a sign indicating that more deep-rooted security issues such as gang crimes in places like Tangshan could possibly exist, Shen noted"
He just unintentionally dissed almost every single western and 3rd world country by implying they don't belong in the modern era lol.
In countries like US, those victims get stabbed and shot, not beaten with chairs. The police doesn't arrive slowly. They don't arrive at all until there is no danger from the armed perps. And that is assuming the victims belong to the "top" white caste. If you're black, asian or god forbid, a migrant worker from the south without papers...
But the real kicker is that US is way safer even than places like Mexico or Brazil.
Even in China's own ally, Russia, things get really unsafe there too, so you can't just say it is a western problem. It is rather, a problem of not following democratic socialism. Which is why, China should export it's way of rule and values across the world. So we could all sit together and commiserate about how violent drunkards is the worst threat to our safety, instead of some having to fear mass shootings, cartels, human traffickers and lynch mobs.
