CHINA-ANTI-CORRUPTION: FORMER PUBLIC SECURITY VICE MINISTER SUN LIJUN PLACED UNDER ARREST ON NOVEMBER 5
|
The South China Morning Post (November 5) disclosed that China’s state prosecutor had
ordered the arrest of Sun Lijun, former Chinese Vice Minister of Public Security. Sun Lijun
was placed under disciplinary investigation in April last year and a month earlier had been
expelled from the Chinese Communist Party membership and all official posts.
(Comment: The CCP's investigation into Sun Lijun lasted 17 months, far longer than most such
investigations which take 6-9 months. Sun Lijun's case was not only one of corruption, but of
apparent active opposition to Xi Jinping as he was accused of forming "political gangs"!)
