Police must be loyal to Party, says minister
Print Edition
China’s police chief said yesterday that his officers must uphold the leadership of the Communist Party and be loyal to it, as the government targets the domestic security apparatus in a crackdown on corruption.
Last month, the government began a graft investigation into a former deputy public security minister, Li Dongsheng.
Li, whose rank was equivalent to a minister, was the first member of the Party’s Political and Legal Affairs Committee, the influential domestic security body, to be investigated for graft.
Writing in the People’s Daily, Public Security Minister Guo Shengkun said his more than 2 million officers had to be “absolutely loyal and absolutely clean” and stand steadfastly in line with the orders and politics of President Xi Jinping.
All public security personnel must “take real actions to resolutely defend the leadership of the Communist Party,” Guo said. “Unswervingly be a loyal defender of the Party and the people.”
Guo also warned his officers to be on guard against the “ideological infiltration of anti-Chinese Western forces.”
“Only if there is social stability can reform and development continue to proceed,” he wrote.
President Xi has made fighting deeply ingrained graft a central theme of his new administration, and has promised to take down high-level “tigers” as well as lowly “flies.”
