Because he is a party member?
Because he caused someone trouble? Because he is cocky and outspoken?

Fear
Now we still don't know how the SARS spread and hot to defend it. So we have to reduce the inffected chances.

I am tired to supervise the equipment debug
The old PA equipments were made in Japan about ten years ago. So there are many problems in installation and debug. Sometimes I have to work more than 16 hours one day. So I have no so much time to visit cellar.org. The overtime work has no salary. I don't know why company headquarters use the old equipment as the same cost on new ones. I think there could be many problems in the future production.

How is Jian pronounced, Billy? Gin? Jen? Jan? Is the J silent?

John or Jim would be good English names for Jian.

I realise I am entering this discussion relatively late, but I wanted to thank you Billy for sharing your views and experiences.

It's pronunciation
It is [dgen]. He doesn't like John and Jim because too many people use them.

Meaning
Perhaps a better approach would be to find a name that matches the meaning. What is the meaning of his name Jian?

Djen could be Dean or Deon (D-on).
