[NTD News October 20, 2021, Beijing time]More than half a month ago, Sun Lijun, the former Deputy Minister of the Public Security Department of the Communist Party of China, was “double-opened” (expelled from the party and from public office) by the Chinese Communist Party. Now the CCP has put him on the new label of a “political gang,” demanding “deep digging and thorough investigation.” Analysis believes that the nature of Sun’s case has changed and there is a trend of expansion.
Guo Shengkun, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of the Communist Party of China, emphasized at the national political and legal team special meeting on October 17 that it is necessary to “deep and thoroughly investigate” the key areas of serious violations of discipline and law by Sun Lijun and others to ensure “seeing people, seeing things, seeing cases, and seeing results.” .
The day before, the Minister of Public Security Zhao Kezhi made 7 consecutive roll-calls at the Party Committee (Expanded) Meeting of the Ministry of Public Security, emphasizing the need to “dig deep into the clues of participating in Sun Lijun’s political gang” and asked the leadership team to take the lead to seize the last time and take the initiative to clarify the problem. .
Current affairs commentator Li Linyi: “This is a very heavy remark, which means that as long as you have a little intersection with Sun Lijun, if there is a little entanglement, you have to make everything clear. You can get it from what he said. I can see that this matter has already affected very severely.”
The term “Sun Lijun’s political gang” is the first time that the Chinese Communist Party has used it publicly.
In the case of Zhou Yongkang, former member of the Politburo Standing Committee, the CCP merely used terms such as “gang formation” and “mountainism”.
Current affairs commentator Li Linyi believes that this shows that the nature of the Sun case has changed and the scope of the case is expanding.
Mainland independent political scholar Chen Daoyin told the media that Sun’s case is no longer a “contradiction among the people”, but has risen to a “contradiction between ourselves and the enemy.” Before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the public security system will face a greater internal rectification.
Sun Lijun was investigated in April last year and was “double-opened” on September 30 this year. More than 40 crimes were listed in the 700-word official bulletin, and the wording was shocking.
Epoch Times columnist Wang He said that from the fall of the horse to the “double opening”, Sun’s case actually took longer than Zhou Yongkang, indicating that his relationship and penetration in all aspects are greater than Zhou Yongkang.
Epoch Times columnist Wang He: “Sun Lijun’s several positions are more sensitive. One is the First Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security and the Political Security Bureau. This system cannot be inserted into the needle or splashed, and it is basically independent of other systems. Every time Xi Jinping makes a foreign visit, the outside security is done by the local political security. Then the whole Ministry of Public Security deploys some actions in Hong Kong, and Sun Lijun is also the head. Sun Lijun is also the head of the 610 Office of the Ministry of Public Security. Like these are all Very sensitive location, and they have done a lot of dirty work.”
On October 2, Fu Zhenghua, the former Deputy Minister of Public Security of the Communist Party of China, was also investigated.
Outsiders speculate whether the Fu case and the Sun case are related, because the two have had work intersections in the Central “610”. Will the two conspire to commit a crime? Whether Meng Jianzhu, former secretary of the Central Political and Legal Committee, will become a high-risk person is a hot spot for observation.
Li Linyi: “(Sun Lijun) He and Meng Jianzhu must have done something to Xi Jinping. You can’t say exactly what he did, but it’s clear that Xi Jinping is unwilling to let him go this time. He moved Sun Lijun. , It is very likely that he will move to Meng Jianzhu. But move up, at least he will not move before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Will he move in the future, maybe in the future. I have not seen that he is going to move Jiang (Ze Min), Zeng (Qinghong).”
After Sun Lijun was double-opened, Zhao Kezhi and Guo Shengkun stated many times that they would support the central decision and eliminate the poisonous influence of Sun Lijun.
Wang He pointed out that it is very rare for Sun Lijun, born in 1969, to achieve such a high level of power as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security, and his influence far exceeds that of Fu Zhenghua. It can also be seen that Xi Jinping was likely to train him as a future successor.
Wang He: “So his sack of the horse shocked all aspects. As his direct superiors, like the Minister of Public Security and the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, if they are to be strictly held accountable, they have certain responsibilities. So they fell on the issue of Sun Lijun. They said that they are consistent with the central government. This is not only a work for the occasion, but also a necessary step.”
Li Linyi believes that before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping had the intention of taking advantage of Sun’s case to establish his prestige.
But when will the big man behind the Sun case be revealed, and how will the various political forces sign political agreements? Wang He said that these issues are very complicated.
Wang He: “This immediately involves Xi Jinping’s third re-election and the distribution of the various factions of the Politburo Standing Committee and Politburo members at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Therefore, this matter is a matter of moving and affecting the overall situation.”
Wang He believes that in order to ensure that there are no problems with his re-election at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping currently does not want to arouse public outrage, nor does he want to isolate himself too much. His strategy is to maintain high pressure against hostile forces, so many things are not happening.
