A netizen found two suspiciously identical speech scripts on the government websites of two neighboring cities in Central China.
A commentary in the Shanghai-based Oriental Morning Post blames the awkward incident on the rigid, monotonous writing styles of official documents.
The commentary suggests it would be easy to punish the secretary for duplicating an official speech, and the official themselves for delivering the speech without checking.(www.hXen.com)
The author points out this is indicative of a dangerous mindset – that nobody will care about the content of an official speech – which makes the writer adopt this haphazard attitude towards their work.
