The insult of Urban Management

From Illegal dog names by Victor Mair

This odd headline caught my eye:

"Man in China detained after giving dogs 'illegal' names," by Travis Fedschun | Fox News (5/15/19)

And what were the offending names? Not what you might have thought:

Chéngguǎn 城管 ("Urban Management")

Xiéguǎn 协管 ("Assistant Management")

Zhangzhou Police said on Chinese social media site Weibo that the names were "insulting law enforcement personnel".

Authorities added that "in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Public Security Administration Punishment," the man must spend 10 days in an administrative detention center.

A police officer told the newspaper Beijing News that Ban had been increasingly provocative on his WeChat account, and his actions had "caused great harm to the nation and the city's urban management, in terms of their feelings," according to the BBC.

How is this different from the social justice rationale for mobbing and doxing on social media platforms?

All totalitarian systems look alike. China models itself on social justice warriors.
