post bars<\/a>; and to skillfully utilize relevant strategies to refute and decrease the impact of these posts. They must study continuously, improve their writing, learn to write in different styles, and be good at imitating other people\u2019s writing styles–these are the basic skills of stability maintenance Internet commentators. Meanwhile, they should acquire the skills to communicate with Internet users, privately integrate with them, and obtain their trust, especially with those whose writing is influential. If possible, commentators should strive to become administrators of some important BBS forums. Pay attention to cultivating awareness of policies and regulations. Commentators must not misunderstand the spirit of current work. Work to fully understand the sample posts issued by the higher authorities, master technique through comprehensive study, and draw inferences from examples.<\/p>\nIn daily work, we also stress training and guidance in \u201ctwo teams\u201d working methods, quality of work, and work ideology, so that team members are able to continuously adapt to new circumstances and changes with the overall situation of school stability maintenance. Make sure they always keep in mind their glorious duty, are not disrupted by hardships and misunderstandings, do not care about their image, are not enraged by their opponents, and remain rational and calm. Team members must have a firm standing and clear mind, maintaining clarity in the midst of misleading trends of thought and cherishing their political future.<\/p>\n
4. Strengthen management and assessment to ensure the continuity of the teams\u2019 work.<\/p>\n
Implement a system of contract employment [as opposed to tenured appointment] to stimulate members\u2019 sense of responsibility and honor. As new students will continuously replace the old, we will hold a grand welcome ceremony for every batch of new employees. During the ceremony, Vice Dean Li Boyong, who is in charge of safety and stability work, will hand over letters of employment in person and state the strict requirements and earnest hopes for their future work. This ceremony will strengthen the sense of responsibility and work attitude of “two teams” members.<\/p>\n
Hold regular meetings in order to ensure the organized and efficient launch of work. Hold weekly departmental meetings and monthly school-wide meetings, taking strict attendance every time. Let “two teams” members communicate about their work, analyze relatively pressing problems, and suggest workable solutions. At the same time, make plans for the next phase of work. \u00a0During meetings, inform everyone of this week\u2019s or this month\u2019s trends of public opinion and management of those opinions. The implementation of regular meetings will offer an institutional basis for strengthening the fighting capacity and team spirit of the student-run “two teams.”<\/p>\n
Improve the incentive system to ensure the continuity of team construction. In building the stability maintenance intelligence collection and stability maintenance Internet comment teams, we pay great attention to improving the incentive system for student members. Besides letting them carefully complete their work and take on certain responsibilities, we offer them a certain level of compensation to stimulate their passion and initiative for work. Give them extra credit or priority in the annual selection of \u201coutstanding students\u201d and scholarship recipients. Set up relevant work-study positions for members so that their stability maintenance work is indirectly subsidized. Every semester, the school will hold a ceremony for all student members of the \u201ctwo teams,\u201d honoring those who have strong sense of work responsibility and who collect more information. Through awards and substantial incentives, we will ceaselessly stimulate students\u2019 enthusiasm to join the “two teams.”<\/p>\n
III. Issues of Concern in the Construction of the \u201cTwo Teams\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n1. Ensure the identities of participating members are protected.<\/p>\n
Due to the rather particular identities of stability maintenance intelligence collection and stability maintenance Internet comment team members, the frequency with which the information they gather involves sensitive issues and even affects the general interests of hostile forces, and the fact that their commentary often contradicts the fervent thinking widespread among students, the school should protect the identities of information collectors who provide intelligence on hostile forces infiltrating colleges and universities or attempting to use students to create chaos, and of the commentators who deal with Internet information according to the spirit from above; and should prevent retaliation or harm [to team members] because they have hurt the interests of hostile forces. We should also protect information collectors who provide intelligence on student mass incidents, preventing these team members from being isolated from their fellow students and thus affecting their normal study and life. We have formulated a strict plan for secrecy. For example, every member must at the very least not disclose the nature of his\/her work under any circumstances; not discuss his\/her job outside of work; and promptly delete work email immediately after it has been read.<\/p>\n
2. Speed up information feedback.<\/p>\n
Information feedback is the most important task for student stability maintenance intelligence collectors. Besides regular feedback, we should further stress prompt feedback, since dissatisfaction with school management work often leads students to change their thinking and to the occurrence of sudden incidents. If the university fails to promptly gather relevant information and take decisive measures, then it may lead to serious mass incidents. For example, on April 6, the information office of the Department of Automation received a report from a class information collector that students were spreading the following message via QQ groups and text messages: \u201cBecause dining hall prices are high and the quality of food is low, we call on students to collectively refuse to eat there on April 8 (Friday).\u201d After receiving the report from the information collector, the department immediately reported it to schools leaders, who paid special attention to it. The vice principal in charge [of the department] called up relevant departmental chiefs to hold a special meeting to be briefed on the situation and come up with countermeasures. It was decided that the cafeteria must hold the baseline set by provincial public security office that \u201ccompared with the second half of last year, the price should not increase, and the quality should not decrease\u201d; and that the cafeteria must treat this as a political task, and make sure prices are stable and that food quality is good. All departmental secretaries and student section chiefs immediately called student meetings, stating the importance of cherishing our country\u2019s hard-earned harmony in the presence of an unstable international environment. The office of general services promptly conducted market research, producing and circulating a chart comparing the prices of all kinds of vegetables, meat, and raw materials from the second half of last year and the present. Because we received the information in time and adopted prevention measures, the students came to understand the objective reasons behind the excessive rise in prices. As a result, at noon on April 8, all students on campus ate at the dining hall as normal, preventing the mass strike from happening.<\/p>\n
Therefore, information collectors must report the trend of thoughts among students and sudden incidents in a timely manner. They may report via telephone, cell phone, email, text messages, \u00a0etc. to the school information office, so that the school can promptly adopt relevant measures and prevent students from being used by unlawful elements.<\/p>\n
In this year\u2019s July 1 speech, General Secretary Hu Jintao made important judgements on the \u201cFour Tests\u201d and \u201cFour Dangers,\u201d which demand that we think about the fate of the Party and the country from the overall situation of the country and the people. We must be mindful of potential challenges at all times and be prepared for danger in time of peace. Higher education is an important and sensitive battle ground for stability maintenance. We should be prepared for serious incidents to occur at any time, and make great efforts to strengthen the construction of the team of the stability maintenance intelligence collection and stability maintenance Internet comment teams.<\/p>\n
