Clannish Associations

We can see the past history of clannish associations with their internal strife, political affiliations,etc. But at least there is still a semblance of independent stand to accommodate various forces under the umbrella body of Hua Jong. Now it was rather childish on the part of an outcast politician to manipulate the so-called seven associations clique into giving a narrow minded allegiance to the authority. In doing so, he has indeed raped the 76 associations and the decision had never gone through the proper channels of extraordinary general meetings etc. He has always been used to play his money politics in the rural areas and now he began to apply it to the urban folks. I think he has miscalculated in this game and apparently he has already lost even before the real battle for popular support has begun!
