The murder case of Haobo in China could be blamed on the
parents, the murder, the police or even the media. The story has caught
nationwide attention in China, much like a previous case when a 2 year old girl
was run over twice by cars and 18 bystanders did not even bother to help. The
case of Haobo is similar in that he was left in a car for a short moment when
his father went to turn off the light in the store. The car was stolen and the
baby was killed. This really shows the moral decline in Chinese society. Money
really has become the number 1 most important thing. Chinese no strive to get
rich. This is because most Chinese are born in either middle class or lower
class incomes families. They need a lot of saving to buy a house in a major
city in China. Since a lot of Chinese can’t become rich, they have to either
steal or accept their fate. The people see this and a lot of the killers in
China blame society. People wanted to know more about this case through state
media and newspapers. However, the central government didn’t want to show that
Chinese society is corrupt and wanted to only show positive police efforts in
the case. The story was not allowed to be on the front page and not allowed
full coverage. Media was not allowed to be critical of the city’s surveillance
system or the police force.
