<< review queue entry 33236 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> http://www.worklish.com/show.asp?id=307 广东政协主席和浙江纪检委书记被双轨 Two High-ranking Officials under Detention and Interrogation 两名高官被双规 Two high-ranking officials are being investigated by the Communist Party of China (CPC) over a severe violation of discipline。 http://www.theage.com.au/world/chinas-rail-chief-sacked-over-scam-20110213-1arzm.html China's rail chief sacked over scam Xinhua news agency released a short note saying that the minister, Liu Zhijun, had been removed from his post as the Communist Party chief at the ministry of railways for ''severe violation of discipline''. Such language usually signals that an official has been detained in the party's extra-legal detention system, called <<shuanggui>>, where confessions can be extracted and tailored to avoid implicating others who have not been approved for investigation. |

# Editor: # As Richard and I discussed, there are really two words going on here: # Firstly, this definition is ambiguous - 雙軌 双轨 [shuang1 gui3] /double-track/ # MOE: 1) 兩線軌道並列, 2) 兩件事可同時進行 + 雙軌 双轨 [shuang1 gui3] /double-track/parallel tracks/dual-track (system)/ # That last definition includes things of the form: “雙軌XX系統” or "雙軌XX制" # A good example is 雙軌學制 (dual-track school system, i.e. honors and non-honors) # Secondly, there is 雙規 which is often misspelled as 雙軌 # It is perhaps easier to see why this misspelling happens # if you look at the simplified Chinese: 双轨 vs 双规 # The meaning of 雙規 can be verified by a variety of sources: # http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-hk/双规 # http://www.hudong.com/wiki/双规 + 雙規 双规 [shuang1 gui1] /a disciplinary measure in the PRC outside the regular legal system under which party members are detained and interrogated/ # Likely the word derives from the idea of their being a "dual-track" legal system. # One being a "legitimate" system based on evidence and probably cause. # The other being a "non-legitimate" system that the party uses to do whatever it wants. # Good contribution Richard! |
