Online name-calling not equal to public opinion

(People's Daily Online)

Public opinion is an overused phrase, and Plato, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, and Walter Lippmann each have their own opinions. Respect for public opinion can bring good governance. Only when power-holders know humility will people's rights and interests be well protected. In this sense, a recent article on The Beijing News showed a senior Chinese official's respect for public opinion. According to the article, Wang Qishan, secretary of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, told participants at a symposium to speak the truth. "We listen to the Internet public opinion, including online name-calling, not to mention your opinions," Wang said.
