Authorities see red over carpet at tree planting
Print Edition
Rolling out the red carpet has cost an official in central China鈥檚 Hunan Province her job.
Tang Mei鈥檈, former district head of Yongzhou City All-China Women鈥檚 Federation, was removed from her post after organizing a tree planting event, local authorities said yesterday.
Pictures circulated online on March 12 showing a group of people walking along a red carpet on a mountain slope during the event organized by the district鈥檚 women federation and forestry bureau.
The red carpet stirred controversy online, with many people saying the pomp and circumstance was purely for show.
The organizers responded by saying that an old carpet had been laid because the mountain road was slippery.
However, during an investigation by municipal authorities, it was discovered that rolling out the red carpet for Arbor Day events violated disciplinary codes of the Communist Party of China. The authorities decided to remove Tang Mei鈥檈 from her post and issued warnings to other participants.
