Two urban enforcement officials in southern China were sacked after a video of them burning a fake 100 yuan note (about $15) to light a cigarette surfaced online. Xiajie and Fuchun hail from Zitong county in the province of Guizhou. Apparently, said officials generally have a poor reputation in communities, the report said, after highly publicized cases of violent and brutal urban enforcement officials were made known. After the termination of Xiajie and Fuchun, their respective team leaders were reprimanded.
