Bund officials broke rules

At the time of the deadly stampede on the Bund in Shanghai which killed 36 and injured another 49, on New Year's Eve, several bureaucrats in charge of the zone were reportedly dining in a luxurious restaurant where they could pay the bills with public money. Comments:

Several bureaucrats have blamed the media for reporting their dining, saying it had nothing to do with the stampede. The bureaucrats forget that such luxurious dining at public expense is also a severe violation of the Party and government's rules and they should be held accountable for their misbehavior.
