The former secretary of Guangxi’s Political and Legal Committee, Zeng Xin, is 55 years old. He has been absent from many important events since mid-October, and the news of his surrender in early November was even confirmed by officials.
Zeng Xin had been serving in the 12th Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security in his early years, reaching the rank of director. On the eve of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Zeng Xin was parachuted into Hubei as director of the Hubei Provincial Public Security Bureau; in 2014, he also became vice governor of Hubei, ranking as a vice-ministerial official.
In March 2020, when Xi Jinping visited Wuhan to inspect the epidemic, Zeng Xin was involved in security coordination.
Prior to that, Sun Lijun, former Vice Minister of Public Security, had been under the direct command of Sun as a member of the central steering group to oversee the prevention and control of the epidemic in Wuhan.
