Chen Xiafeng, a female student at Hebei University in central China, was hit by a Volkswagen sedan driven by 22 year old Li Qiming who was drunk at the time. Ms Chen died the next day. When security officials tried to stop him he is said to have shouted, ' Li Gang is my father.' Li Gang is the local deputy chief of police. As is usual in China authorities tried to suppress the news but it spread on the net and father and son have apologised on local television. People are incensed and a woman has started a poetry competition where every poem must include the line ' Li Gang is my father.' Children of powerful parents are contemptuously called ' guan er dai ' or ' fu er dai ' meaning the next generation or spoiled brats. In India this is such common occurrence that it would probably make a couple of lines in an obscure inside page of newspapers. Biti Mohanty is still free years after raping a woman because his father is chief of police in Orissa. Manu Sharma was allowed out on bail at the beginning of his sentence for murder and would continued to enjoy freedom if he did not pick a fight at a nightclub. His sense of entitlement probably let him down. A few months back the son of a UP politician shot at the manager of a night club in Delhi because his sister's purse had gone missing. Nothing happened to him. Nanda, who killed 7 people one night in the famous BMW case, got away with a derisory 2 year sentence. You can see it on the streets. If a fellow is pulled over by the police for driving too fast or jumping a red light he instantly gets on to his cell phone and hands it over to the policeman. Next instant he is waved on. India, a nation of criminals.
