The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is worried about its demise under external and internal troubles. 15 April is the “National Security Education Day”, and the party media has published an article reiterating Xi Jinping’s “political security” statement. According to the outside world, the CCP’s emphasis on political security is actually a fear of regime instability.
On April 15, the Communist Party’s People’s Daily published a front-page article on Xi Jinping’s “Overview of Important Discourses on Preventing and Solving Major Risks,” which stated that since the 18th National Congress, the CPC Central Committee, with Xi Jinping at its core, has made efforts to prevent and solve major risks.
The article also lists Xi Jinping’s remarks on preventing and resolving major risks since he took office, emphasizing that he should “coordinate development and security, enhance the sense of worry, and be prepared for danger in times of peace”.
The article also cites Xi’s remarks at the opening session of a seminar for major leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels to study and implement the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session. Xi said at the time, must enhance the sense of worry, adhere to the bottom line thinking, ready to deal with more complex and difficult situation. And asked to dare to struggle, but also to be good at struggle, comprehensive to strengthen themselves.
The Global Times also reported on the 15th that the cases revealed on National Security Education Day were “mainly related to political security” and that the people involved in the cases may have colluded with the so-called anti-China forces outside China to subvert the country. The Times also reported on the 15th that the cases uncovered by the National Security Education Day “mainly involve political security” and that the people involved in the cases either collaborated with the so-called anti-China forces outside China to subvert the Chinese Communist regime, or took the opportunity to study in Hong Kong to participate in anti-China activities.
The report also quoted an unnamed “legal scholar” as declaring that the CCP must take the initiative to defend itself against the new situation of national security, rather than simply pursuing responsibility passively.
Some analysts say that in the context of the CCP, political security is the same as regime security, and the CCP has set a “National Security Education Day”. Xi Jinping’s repeated emphasis on “political security” indicates that Beijing’s top brass is concerned that the Communist regime could collapse at any moment.
Last July, it was also discovered that the CCP had secretly established a leading police agency dedicated to so-called political security issues.
At the time, the Communist Party’s Procuratorate Daily reported that the Political Security Special Group of the Coordination Group for the Construction of Safe China recently held its first meeting in Beijing, with Lei Dongsheng, deputy secretary-general of the Central Committee for Political and Legal Affairs and head of the Political Security Special Group, presiding over the meeting and making a speech.
Lei Dongsheng said political security is a matter of national security …… and called for the implementation of Xi Jinping as the core of the CPC Central Committee’s decision on maintaining national security. It also stressed the need to combat all kinds of infiltration, subversion and sabotage, violent and terrorist activities, etc.
The Voice of America analysis said at the time that it was unclear when the so-called “political security task force” and the “China Construction Coordination Group” were established, or what the difference was between controlling the so-called political security of the CCP and national security.
In the context of the CCP, the so-called political security or national security issues are state secrets, which the CCP keeps secret from the public. For example, the Ministry of State Security, established by the CCP in 1983, has not been announced to inform the public to date.
It is also unclear whether these issues, which were originally under the control of the Ministry of State Security and the Ministry of Public Security’s domestic security department, have now been transferred to the special group, or whether the special group is simply a new coordinating and leading body for the relevant departments of the Ministry of State Security and the Ministry of Public Security, the analysis said.
If the latter is the case, what is the relationship between the group or its “Coordination Group for the Construction of a Safe and Secure Communist Party” and the Central State Security Leading Group, of which Xi Jinping is the head, and which is the superior and which is the subordinate, or whether both are equal.
Critics say that the CCP’s national security and political security have become excuses used by the CCP regime organizations at all levels to wantonly crack down on dissent and critics, the so-called national security and political security. In fact, it amounts to the security of the CCP regime and the status of the CCP leaders, which has nothing to do with the safety of the lives and properties of the Chinese people, and even runs counter to it.
And this so-called national security and political security view has trampled on the CCP’s constitution which claims that state power belongs to the people. For the target of the crackdown by the CCP’s political security leadership group. According to the French broadcaster, this is somewhat like targeting Hong Kong, China’s ethnic minority regions, and so-called “foreign anti-China forces. But not exactly, the scope is huge.
The report questioned whether the political security leadership group, which was originally in charge of the Ministry of State Security and the Ministry of Public Security, has been assigned to this “special political security group”. And what is the relationship between the “Coordination Group for the Construction of Safe China” and the CPC National Security Leading Group under Xi Jinping’s direct leadership, and is Xi also the head of the peace group? It is not known.
In the Chinese Communist regime, at least the Ministry of State Security, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Justice, and the Political and Legal Affairs Commission are responsible for security, and now there is another body responsible for political security issues. Some analysts say that the addition of more layers highlights the strong sense of insecurity among top policymakers.
Voice of America reports that many critics complain that in recent years, the Chinese Communist regime has emphasized political security and suppressed all voices or information that the Communist Party does not like in the name of national security and political security, a practice that has created a great scourge throughout China and the world.
