Lyu Xinhua made another witty remark at the 12th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference this year.

Last year "I think you understand what I mean" became a well-known quotation of Lyu Xinhua, spokesman for the 12th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and Zhou Yongkang, former member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, has been placed under investigation. This year, Lyu first said "we can be said to be capricious in fighting against corruption", confusing both the interpreter and foreign journalists. Then he added "there will be no 'iron-cap princes' that have immunity", making it more meaningful.

Last year Lyu said "I think you understand what I mean" and finally we truly understood it. This year, Lyu said "there will be no 'iron-cap princes' that have immunity" and we should wait and see.

Who is the next "iron-cap prince"?

When it comes to anti-corruption, "we can be said to be capricious". This statement is humorous, implicit and evocative. Chinese people are disgusted with corrupt officials, and we are indeed "capricious" to catch these "large rats" and bring them to justice.

The interpreter was definitely freaking out at that time…
