Chen Gang, deputy to the National People's Congress and secretary of the Qinghai Provincial Party Committee, responded in Beijing on the 6th. Chen Gang said that this incident, which seriously violated the spirit of the eight central regulations, was a "sore spot" and "injured spot" for Qinghai cadres.

He said that over the past year or so, the political ecology of Qinghai has quietly changed. An atmosphere of "cadres must be responsible, clear ideas, and strict self-discipline" has gradually formed.
