The Main Methods and Lessons of Zibo City Public Security Organs Handling the “Donggao Incident”

From September, 1998 to January, 1999, a very small number of illegal actors in Donggao Village, Yuanquan Town, Boshan District, Zibo City organized and incited some villagers who did not know the truth to block traffic, block off a cave, and detain and beat state workers and public security police performing public duties in accordance with the law, which not only disturbed social order, but also caused enormous economic losses in the Yuanquan region and seriously affected social stability in the region. Under the disadvantageous conditions of intertwined conflicts, complex situations, and bloodshed that may occur at any time, under the correct leadership of the party committee, government, and superior public security organs, our city’s public security organs upheld the principle of acting conservatively in accordance with the law and successfully handled this mass disturbance incident that affected social stability, and organized and planned the pursuit of criminal liability in accordance with the law of the lead troublemakers.
