 Who is China's most fashionable female mayor? Recently, an online fashion store announced a list of the most fashionable female mayors out of a playing field of 6 mayors and 90 deputy mayors. Shenzhen's deputy mayor took top honors, while Hangzhou's and Aerdos' deputy mayors finished second and third respectively. What did the public think of the list? Let's find out in Media Spin today.
An online opinion poll on Red Net shows that the public doesn't care for how their mayors dress, but are concerned with what they have done in office. These females have attracted public attention because of their position and power, not because of their sex. Furthermore, the chart is not credible since the people chalking out the list cannot represent public opinion.
An opinion in Qilu Evening News says that the chart is an insult to the mayors. It says it undermines their capabilities and contributions to their cities. The writer suspects list is merely a way for the online store to gain publicity. And if that's the case, the organizer has already only managed to get bad press.
In contrast, an opinion piece in Xiaoxiang Morning Post sees the positives in such a list, saying it enhances harmonious relationships between government officers and the public. Probably, we can appreciate the chart just as we appreciate German Chancellor Angela Merkel's low-cut evening dress. The entertaining evaluation demolishes mayors' images as 'superwomen' and makes female leaders seem like friendly neighbors.
