VIDEO: Chinese Communist Official Trashes Airport Boarding Gate After Missing Flight
New York Daily News ^ | TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2013 | Lee Moran

Party official Yan Linkun was caught on camera going berserk after missing his plane at Changshui International Airport.

Missing a flight may make you angry — but there's no need to flip out like this Chinese Communist Party official. Astonishing security camera footage showing Yan Linkun trashing a boarding gate at Kunming’s Changshui International Airport has gone viral.

Yan is seen ripping out computers, trying to smash a glass door with a sign and violently lashing the doors — all in front of his bewildered-looking wife and a growing crowd.

Business Insider reports the couple turned up late to the gate after grabbing a bite to eat.

He calmed down once airport officials arrived. It is not known whether he will be punished for the outburst. The Shanghaist identified Yan as a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) for Shizong county in Yunnan Province.

I particularly liked the 3 people in the police-type uniforms watching the whole scene calmly from the other side of the rope barrier.

“Security theatre” is more common in China, although the USA is catching up. It’s when the guys without uniforms come for you that you know you are in real trouble.

Yep, I thought the same thing, the Chinese equivalent of Nancy Pelosi.

Bewildered my arse. She was the one egging him on early in the video. She was on her cell phone, probably to Daddy, telling him what a loser his son-in-law was because he couldn't even get the airport to hold the plane for him.

It looks like they also had two teenage sons in tow. One of them at least tried to calm down his father.

Jackie Chan’s a CPPCC member. I believe it’s a rubber stamp organization that takes dictation from the party supremos. Still, to be appointed a rubber stamper means you’re someone of substance.

Actually, no. Most executions in China are for murder. There's a small number of officials executed for large-scale corruption. Bank robbers, con men and thieves who have lifted large sums of cash have also been executed. The reason China's execution rate is high is because they execute a far higher % of murderers than we do. Texas, despite an overblown reputation for draconian sentences, has an execution rate of 1 in 100 homicides. I suspect China's number is more like 1 in 4. They have roughly the same number of annual homicides we do, just over 10,000 but execute thousands compared to our number of just under 50.
