Suckling ‘pig’ gets a promotion
It is interesting that some in China have expressed concern over this policewoman’s actions. Would they have said the same thing if the orphans were 35 year old males? See, not ‘pigs’ are bad.
A Chinese policewoman who breastfed babies orphaned during last month’s earthquake has been given a better job, prompting online protests that promotions should be awarded on merit, not merely for good deeds.
Jiang Xiaojuan, 30, left her own baby with her parents and took part in the disaster relief work, breastfeeding nine babies, earning her the nickname of “the police mum” in the press.
She has since been awarded titles of “hero and model police officer” and “excellent member of the Communist Party”, was appointed to the Communist Party of China Committee of the Jiangyou Public Security Bureau and became the bureau’s vice commissar.
“Many people voiced objections when the Jiangyou Government sought public opinion after making the promotion,” …. “They said an official position should not be used to promote a moral model.”
There were also supporters of Ms Jiang’s promotion, saying that what she did showed she was a good public servant.
