Exchange the single room for government officials? Well known entrepreneurs "roast" at a meeting in Guizhou Tianyan Scenic Spot were "targeted" by loc
On September 8th, Jiang Ruxiang, Chairman of Sien Group and one of the top ten "overseas returnees" entrepreneurs, posted on Weibo that he brought 400 private entrepreneurs to Guizhou Tianyan Scenic Area for a meeting. He was asked to give his single room to government officials after filing with the local authorities beforehand, and was surrounded by the police under the guise of inspection while sharing outdoors. Jiang Ruxiang also said in the article that Guizhou is his hometown, and it is hard to feel that he is regarded as a suspect when he wants to do something for his hometown.
On the morning of September 9th, New Yellow River reporters called multiple local departments to inquire about this matter. The relevant department responded that they have taken note of this matter and are currently verifying it. The New Yellow River reporter attempted to contact Jiang Ruxiang through a private message on Weibo, but as of the time of writing, there has been no response, and his company, Xi'en Group, has not been able to reach him through public contact information.

According to public information, Jiang Ruxiang is currently the Executive Director of Beijing Xi'en Investment Management Co., Ltd. and the Chairman of Beijing Xi'en Zhixing Enterprise Consulting Co., Ltd. He has been awarded the title of one of the top ten entrepreneurial figures among overseas returnees. The New Yellow River reporter noticed that the blog post was published on the morning of September 8th, with an IP address in Guizhou.
Jiang Ruxiang stated in the blog post that Guizhou is his hometown, and he brought 400 private entrepreneurs to Guizhou Tianyan Scenic Area to hold a strategic summit, but encountered problems. On the first night, I was asked to change rooms. All the bosses who were staying in single rooms had to switch to standard rooms because there were so-called government officials who wanted to transfer the rooms to them. The problem is that we had already booked the rooms two weeks ago, which is called a contract. Why do you have to change rooms when you have an official? Jiang Ruxiang said that he also encountered trouble when sharing outdoors at night. "A group of police came around and called it inspection, which made all of our business owners feel like suspect". He also said that he wanted to do something for his hometown, but he would encounter such incidents every time. He also claimed that during the strategic seminar held at Xiuwen Yangmingdong, he was stopped by the local propaganda department on the grounds of not being registered.

On the morning of September 9th, the New Yellow River reporter sought verification from the China Tianyan Scenic Area. A contact person told the reporter that the scenic area has not carried out any external activities recently. If any activities enter the core area of the scenic area at night, they need to be reported to the National Astronomical Observatory. The reporter contacted the China Tianyan Guesthouse around the Tianyan Scenic Area, and the staff confirmed to the reporter that from September 6th to 9th, the hotel did indeed host the "Dr. Jiang Ruxiang's First China Tianyan Strategic Summit" event. However, regarding whether the guests changed from single rooms to standard rooms due to government officials staying, multiple staff members expressed uncertainty about this matter. A manager who took over the event said that "all rooms were given to them (the personnel of this event)". A staff member of a hotel near the Tianyan Scenic Area in China stated that some members of the event did check in, but he himself was not aware of the possibility of changing rooms.
Regarding the inspection at the event site, the staff of China Tianyan Guesthouse stated that it is a routine task of the local police, and "it is normal for police officers to conduct routine inspections for such large-scale group activities. The staff also mentioned that outdoor activities are usually arranged by guests themselves and the hotel does not provide venues. The reporter asked the customer if they had registered the event with the local authorities through the hotel in advance, but the staff of China Tianyan Guesthouse did not give a clear response.

On the afternoon of the 9th, a police officer from Kedu Town Police Station told New Yellow River reporters that he had heard of this event before and had colleagues who went to inspect it. He said that regardless of whether the organizers were reporting locally or not, they would go to the event site for routine inspection. If they needed to learn more, they needed to contact the Political Work Office of Pingtang County Public Security Bureau. However, New Yellow River reporters called him multiple times but could not get through.
Regarding this matter, the New Yellow River reporter contacted the Pingtang County People's Government. The wiring staff stated that they would verify the relevant situation with the relevant departments before responding, but as of the time of writing, there has been no response. The People's Government of Qiannan Prefecture stated that this matter requires contacting the local Cyberspace Administration. The staff of the Qiannan Prefecture Cyberspace Administration's Public Opinion Center responded that they had previously monitored the blogger's posts on Weibo and had forwarded them to relevant departments for verification, but the specific progress is still unclear.
According to the official website of Pingtang County People's Government, the China Tianyan Science Popularization Base is located in Pingtang Astronomy Town, Kedu Town, Pingtang County, Guizhou Province. It is built based on the 500 meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) to maintain a world leading brand effect in the next 20-30 years. The Tianyan Science Popularization Base is mainly composed of China Tianyan and Pingtang Astronomical Science Cultural Park. China Tianyan (FAST) is a major national science and technology project of the 11th Five Year Plan jointly built by the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Guizhou Provincial Government. It is located in Dawodang, Jinke Village, Kedu Town, Pingtang County, Qiannan Prefecture, Guizhou Province. It is the largest single antenna radio telescope in the world at present, and an important facility for human beings to directly observe distant galaxies, search for cosmic environments similar to the solar system or the earth, and find potential intelligent life. Pingtang Astronomical Science and Culture Park is 6 kilometers away from China FAST in a straight line, with a planned area of 3 square kilometers. It is a tourism special planning project in the overall planning of supporting facilities construction in Guizhou Province for the FAST project, and is also one of the "Top Ten Cultural Industry Parks" in Guizhou Province.
