By noon on Oct. 13, Ye Jing-Chun's bouquet was wilting under the Beijing sun. The 55-year-old retired bureaucrat had been pacing the alley by the Chaoyang district police station, waiting for Wu Lihong, a fellow candidate in local elections, to be released from 15 days' detention. But Wu wasn't freed and as the hours crept by, Ye's lilies and roses continued to droop. Plainclothes thugs with thick necks, military-style buzz cuts and video cameras patrolled the alley. A pair of Foreign Affairs police officers arrived to investigate the international journalists gathered on the scene. Still no Wu. The next day, her brother finally got a call from her saying she had been forced to fly to southwestern China with government minders. Chinese politics had claimed another victim.
Every five years in China, direct elections are held for 2 million representatives to local people's congresses, the lowest and a largely powerless rung of government. For decades, these polls have tended to be stage-managed affairs with state-approved candidates. But with frustration over official ineptitude boiling over, and with digital communications and social media making it easier to exchange and pool ideas, the elections are now drawing large numbers of independent candidates. There are thousands — perhaps even tens of thousands — of such candidates trying to run in elections that began this spring and continue through next year. Each of them is counting on laws that make nearly anyone 18 or older, who garners 10 signatures from constituents, eligible to stand in local balloting. At the same time, they incur the displeasure of the Communist Party, which has ruled unchallenged for more than six decades and which in practice determines the composition of representative bodies at every level.
