A play on the idiom 兽性大发 (shòuxìng dàfā), “to give free rein to one’s animal nature.” As a government official, one’s “Party” nature shines through in [[demolish it|forced demolition]], [[rabble|child molestation]], and other [[leaders first|public cruelties]].
 
 
The phrase comes from a local news story and is used in the following [http://gcomic.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns%213C5ECB3A254C597F%211174.entry political cartoon]. Much of the humor is lost in translation, but the basic gist of the joke is as follows:
 
 
 
A: How can the bureau chief tear down our houses without paying a good price? He's really giving free rein to his brutish nature.
 
 
 
B: Be careful which words you're using. The bureau chief epitomizes the Party's nature.
 
 
 
A: Then in that case, could it be that he's giving free rein to his “Party” nature?
