BEIJING – A new political struggle is emerging in China as President Xi Jinping seeks to consolidate the country’s security apparatus.
The main objective is the Central Command for Political and Legal Affairs, the Communist Party’s law enforcement and public security agency. Xi and his basic allies are about to overtake the security apparatus and organize a special force to take it.
Chen Yixin, the secretary general of the shipment, said at a conference on July 8 that the shipment would release a disciplinary crusade across the country to “rectify the education” of politicians and law enforcement, saying the crusade was intended to “get rid of bone poison.” “
Chen is one of President Xi’s trusted aides. In the early 2000s, when Xi was secretary of the Communist Party provincial committee of Zhejiang Province, Chen served as the committee’s undersecretary-general.
More recently, when the coronavirus outbreak erupted in Wuhan, Hubei Province, Chen entered and called on local officials to take strong action against Xi’s and central government’s allegations.
“The Party’s Central Command of Political and Legal Affairs is rather to govern the country, especially a friend of China’s most powerful person. The importance of controlling the commission is close to controlling the People’s Liberation Army,” said one Communist Party official. who liked not to be named.
The commission oversees all public and judicial security agencies: police, national security, justice, prosecutors and courts.
The Communist Party Central Committee has a national network of approximately 3,200 provincial and local Communist Party committees as subordinate organizations.
The party has political and legal affairs commissions on any of the party’s subordinate local committees and is deemed to have authority over critical judicial matters, influences courts and individual prosecutions, and exercises its review and approval rights to arrest influential persons.
Zhou Yongkang was a major influence as secretary of the Central Committee on Political and Legal Affairs from 2007 to 2012, after serving as Minister of Public Security. After Zhou fell from the force for corruption, the post of secretary of the commission was assumed through Meng Jianzhu, who is said to belong to the “Shanghai Group”, a collection near former President Jiang Zemin. Aleven, although Meng holds a retired position, the influence of the Shanghai group, led through Jiang, even has the idea of remarking in the shipment.
Xi tried to take over the Chinese judicial and police system. A list of other Americans accused of irregularities has circulated in one position; The list showed more than a hundred senior public security officials, some 40 prosecutors and more than 60 judges circulating around the country.
Newly accused high-ranking public safety officials, adding that Sun Lijun, a former deputy public safety minister, is said to be Meng.
In April, Tang Yijun, Xi’s assistant, was appointed minister of justice. An organization was also established to “build a quiet China” under the auspices of the Central Command for Political and Legal Affairs to save social unrest and a special organization was established.
A Chinese political scientist who asked to be appointed said that the “school rectification” crusade of the party commission closely resembles the “rectification movement” led through Mao Zedong.”
The motion of rectification near a purge of political opponents, which former leader Mao had announced in Yan’an in the 1940s. The motion would have allowed Mao to gain absolute strength in the Communist Party.
In 2020, at the 8 July conference of the Committee on Political and Legal Affairs, he lobbied that “the correction of schooling “means” the rectification of Yan’an, the elimination of murky waters and transparent waters.
Xi’s term, which began in 2017, is in a midway position, with the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party, its top critical political event, in just two years.
The party would have an unwritten rule that said a big block over 68 deserved to retire and not take up a new position, with Xi 6nine at the time of the party congress. Aleven, although a constitutional overhaul was cleared of the term limit for the president, a maximum of 10 years in two terms, some could oppose Xi’s continued work in the party’s internal regime.
The new “education rectification” crusade is expected to be completed until the first quarter of 2022. The crusade turns out to connect a political struggle that Leader Xi has begun, with his eyes set on the upcoming national congress in the fall of 2022. on the horizon
