[Epoch Times, November 21, 2021]Wang Xiaohong, the executive vice minister of the Ministry of Public Security of the Communist Party of China, regarded as Xi Jinping’s confidant, took over on November 19, the former party secretary of the Ministry of Public Security Zhao Kezhi. The announcement of the leadership information on the official website of the Ministry of Public Security on the 20th showed that Wang Xiaohong had concurrently served as a member of the Central Political and Legal Committee. According to CCP practice, Wang Xiaohong will take over as Minister of Public Security. This is an important signal released by the power struggle before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
Wang Xiaohong’s gradual takeover of the Ministry of Public Security is undoubtedly a part of Xi Jinping’s staff layout at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China just opened in November, and the so-called third historical resolution of the CCP was released, which re-divided the history of the CCP into three generations. Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, and Hu Jintao were merged into one period, while Xi Jinping became a “new era.” “The first generation of leaders,” many people believe that this is paving the way for Xi Jinping to further establish “scheduled at one deity” and the tenure of twenty Dalian.
However, the third historical resolution of the CCP is inevitably flooded with compromises and transactions among various parties within the party. Whether Xi Jinping has completely settled the opposition forces has yet to be confirmed. At least, in the public security system, the campaign to purge Zhou Yongkang and others’ “after poison” is still going on, and Zhou Yongkang belongs to the Jiang faction. Meng Jianzhu and other retired Jiang faction political and legal officials who have repeatedly received negative news have not been thrown out for a long time.
The public security system is known as the “knife” of the CCP. It has always been a regime-maintaining machine that suppresses the people internally. However, in the special political climate of intensified party power struggles, it will also threaten the rulers themselves.
In mid-September this year, it was reported from the mainland that the Jiangsu “judicial gang” headed by Luo Wenjin, the former captain of the Interpol Corps of the Jiangsu Provincial Public Security Department, had conspired with the former Chongqing Public Security Director Deng Huilin and others to participate in activities in Nanjing. The time line is “bad”. This “national leader” is believed to be Xi Jinping. Deng Huilin was once the director of the Office of the Central Political and Legal Committee when Meng Jianzhu, a high-ranking official of the Jiang faction, was in charge of the Political and Legal Committee, and was Meng’s “big steward.”
Sun Lijun, the former deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security, who was expelled from the party and from public office on September 30, was notified that he was involved in “extremely expanded political ambitions”, “group control of vital departments”, and “serious endangerment to political security.”
Sun Lijun used to be Meng Jianzhu’s great secret. What exactly his “ambitions” are is still unknown. Does it also include conspiracy against Xi Jinping?
Because of this, Xi Jinping now has extraordinary travel security, and he particularly relies on Wang Xiaohong. In late July this year, Xi went to Tibet. According to a report by Qin Gong Duo Duowei, Wang Xiaohong, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Public Security, who is also the director of the secret service, accompanied him for protection.
Next, Xi Jinping will break the usual re-election at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and he will not have a successor. The resentment within the party caused will become a dangerous factor. This is actually the real reason why Xi Jinping continues to emphasize that the primary task is to ensure political security. Before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping’s security will be further upgraded, and Wang Xiaohong will become an important person close to Xi Jinping’s prevention.
Xi’s confidant Wang Xiaohong is in charge of monitoring the key personnel of Zhongnanhai
Wang Xiaohong is a native of Fuzhou, Fujian, and has a close personal relationship with Xi Jinping. As early as the 1990s when Xi was the secretary of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee, Wang successively served as the deputy director and director of the Fuzhou Public Security Bureau, responsible for Xi’s safety and security.
It is said that Wang Xiaohong was living downstairs in Xi Jinping at that time. As Peng Liyuan was not in Fujian, Xi Jinping often hosted his daughter Xi Mingze in Wang Xiaohong’s house during his business trips. This shows that Wang is very loyal to Xi, and Xi trusts Wang very much.
After Xi Jinping took control of Zhongnanhai, Wang Xiaohong was first suddenly transferred to Henan as the director of public security, and then transferred to the director of Beijing Municipal Public Security in 2015, as an important part of Xi Jinping’s multiple security lines.
In 2018, Wang Xiaohong took the position of executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security. In 2019, the authorities reorganized the original Security Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security (the Eighth Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security) and re-established the Secret Service independently, with Wang Xiaohong concurrently serving as Party Secretary and Director. This is an unprecedented position. With reference to the original responsibility of the Security Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, it is “responsible for the task of defending security objects, security objectives, and the safety of major activities.”
Public information shows that the security targets of the Secret Service of the Ministry of Public Security are the “four deputy and two high” members of the “party and state leaders” of the Communist Party of China (Vice Chairman of the State, Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, Vice Premier/State Councilor of the State Council, National Vice-Chairman of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, President of the Supreme Court, Chief Prosecutor of the Supreme Procuratorate) and important foreigners visiting China. The security units include the organs of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, the organs of the State Council and various ministries and commissions, the organs of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the organs of the Supreme Court, and the organs of the Supreme Procuratorate.
This is essentially keeping an eye on senior officials above the deputy national level and some of their foreign-related activities, monitoring the entire Zhongnanhai, and preventing any acts of disloyalty to Xi.
Now that Wang Xiaohong’s police power has expanded again, he will soon be in charge of the Ministry of Public Security, which may cause trouble in Zhongnanhai.
Judging from the current high-level composition of the Ministry of Public Security, the pro-xixi forces have steadily controlled the “knife.”
At present, in addition to Zhao Kezhi, who is temporarily serving as the Minister of the Ministry of Public Security, the other leadership members of the Ministry of Public Security include: Executive Deputy Minister Wang Xiaohong; , Deputy Minister Liu Zhao, Deputy Minister Lin Rui, Director of the Political Department Feng Yan, and Deputy Minister Chen Siyuan.
Among them, Sun Xinyang, who was transferred from the secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to the head of the discipline inspection team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in the Ministry of Public Security in March 2020, is Xi Jinping’s fellow township in Fuping, Shaanxi. According to reports, Sun and Xi Jinping’s late half-brother Xi Zhengning are two generations. But the relationship is very close.
Lin Rui is a native of Minhou, Fujian. He used to be the chief of the cyber security team of the Fujian Provincial Public Security Department. At that time, Wang Xiaohong was the deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Department.
Xu Ganlu was from Tongan, Fujian. During Xi Jinping’s tenure as the deputy mayor of Xiamen, Xu was the director of the Kaiyuan Branch of the Xiamen Public Security Bureau. Later, he served as the deputy director of the Xiamen Public Security Bureau and the secretary of the Huli District Party Committee. Xu Ganlu came to Beijing in 1994. Served as deputy director and director of the Exit-Entry Administration of the Ministry of Public Security, deputy director of the Police Security Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, and director of the Traffic Management Bureau. In 2015, Xu Ganlu landed in Henan as the deputy governor and director of the Provincial Public Security Department. The following year he was promoted to the Standing Committee of the Henan Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. In March 2018, he served as Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Public Security and Director of the National Immigration Administration.
Feng Yan, member of the Party Committee and Director of the Political Department of the Ministry of Public Security of the Communist Party of China, was the deputy director of the Henan Public Security Department and Wang Xiaohong’s deputy when he was the director of the Henan Public Security Department.
Chen Siyuan was promoted to vice minister from Assistant Minister of Public Security on June 28 this year. He was the direct line of Wang Xiaohong when he was in charge of Beijing Public Security.
Among the leadership of the Ministry of Public Security, only Deputy Minister Du Hangwei has a complicated background. Like the sacked former Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Public Security Yang Huaning and the former Director of Chongqing Public Security He Ting, he studied in the Criminal Investigation Department of the Southwest Institute of Political Science and Law. In 1984, after graduating from Du University, he was selected to the Ministry of Public Security like Yang Huanning. He worked for the Criminal Investigation Bureau under the leadership of Yang Huanning and He Ting for a long time. In 2010, he moved to Shaanxi under the arrangement of Yang Huanning, and then he was promoted all the way to the post of Director of Public Security, Member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. In 2013, someone reported Du Hangwei’s acceptance of sexual bribery, but it was denied by the Shaanxi Commission for Discipline Inspection and was later transferred to the Ministry of Public Security.
There is also Deputy Minister Liu Zhao, who is from Shaanxi Fufeng and graduated from the Northwest University of Political Science and Law with the most unclear background.
It can be seen from the composition of the leadership of the Ministry of Public Security that Xi Jiajun has occupied the Ministry of Public Security, and Zhao Kezhi is only awaiting formal resignation. Wang Xiaohong, who first won the power of the public security party, was even more powerful.
In addition, at the local level, Qi Yanjun, former head of the Henan Provincial Fire Brigade when Wang Xiaohong was the head of the Henan Provincial Public Security Bureau, served as Beijing’s deputy mayor and director of public security last year.
On April 9, 2020, Deputy Wang Xiaohong and Deputy Director of the Secret Service Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security of the Communist Party of China, Wang Zhizhong, served as Deputy Governor of Guangdong Province and Director of the Public Security Department.
On December 30, 2020, Shu Qing, former deputy governor of Henan Province and director of the Public Security Department, was transferred to the deputy mayor of Shanghai and director of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau. Shu Qing also has connections with Wang Xiaohong, who once worked in Henan.
At the beginning of this year, Wang Xiaohong’s Fujian Old Ministry, Putian City Deputy Mayor and Public Security Director Chen Feng secretly took over the police liaison department of the Hong Kong Central Liaison Office.
After the army and the armed police have been tightened, Xi has deployed Xi’s army so densely to the public security system that also has guns, of course, it is to prevent internal changes in the party and threaten himself. However, no matter who is replaced by the struggle within the party, as the CCP regime’s stability maintenance machine against Chinese society, the nature of the persecution of human rights remains unchanged. Senior public security officials such as Wang Xiaohong and Du Hangwei also bear blood debts of persecuting the people.
In the face of the continued international siege of the CCP, domestic public grievances, and the deepening of the regime crisis, just like the former Soviet Union, it is not impossible for China to change suddenly. On the day of the fall of the CCP in the future, how many people will be liquidated in the public security department whose persecution of human rights is at the forefront?
