On December 12, Wang Meibin, deputy mayor of Baotou City in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, fell to his death. Chinese officials have become a high-risk group for suicide.
According to the official media, Wang Meibin fell to his death on December 12 from his home in Ijinholo Banner, Erdos, but the “specific reason for the fall is unclear”.
Wang Meibin, 52, was the vice mayor and party group member of Baotou City, Inner Mongolia.

In recent years, Communist Party officials have frequently fallen to their death or committed suicide. A number of officials have died by suicide just recently.
On November 19, Huang Jinggui, director of the Civil Affairs Bureau of Longhua County, Chengde City, Hebei Province, fell to his death in the bureau’s office building.
In the early morning of Nov. 9, He Bin, a former vice president and judge of the Court of Quanzhou in Guangxi, fell to his death at home.
On October 19, Zhang Zhongbin, a member of the party group, vice president and member of the trial committee of the Hubei Provincial High Court, committed suicide in his office.
On August 16, Chen Fenjian, chairman of China Railway Construction Group, fell to his death. Just before Chen Fenjian, the inspection team of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the Communist Party of China was conducting an inspection of China Railway Construction Group.
On July 8, Liao Mingguo, a member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Hubei Jingmen Municipal Committee and Secretary General of the Municipal Committee, fell to his death in the old municipal compound of Jingmen City.
On June 27, Qian Feng, former deputy secretary of the Party Committee and deputy director of the Public Security Bureau of Huangshan City, Anhui Province, who had retired for one and a half years, fell to his death at his home in Huangshan City. Before Qian Feng’s suicide, a number of officials from the Huangshan Public Security Bureau had been investigated.
On June 14, it was widely rumored that Feng Lijun, director of the Political Department of the Ministry of Justice, committed suicide by jumping from his 16th floor home in the early hours of June 10 and 11, and on June 17, the official media announced that Feng Lijun had recently “died of illness”.
On April 15, Huang Zhizhong, a member of the CPC Huizhou Municipal Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and vice chairman of the CPPCC in Huizhou, died “accidentally” due to health reasons, but the official media did not inform what kind of accident happened.
On April 14, Cheng Limin, a former inspector and party member of the Legal Affairs Office of the Anhui Provincial Government of the Communist Party of China, “died in a high fall”.
The highest known fall was in October 2018, when Zheng Xiaosong, a member of the CPC Central Committee and director of the Beijing Central Government Liaison Office in Macau, fell to his death from his residence in Macau, where he was officially said to be suffering from depression.
In addition, there was also Ren Xuefeng, an alternate member of the Central Committee and former deputy secretary of the Chongqing Municipal Committee, who was rumored on the Internet to have fallen to his death on the seventh floor of the Beijing West Hotel during the Fourth Plenary Session of the Communist Party of China held in late October last year, on the day of the closing of the Fourth Plenary Session. But Chongqing officials released news late at night on November 3 that Ren Xuefeng “recently passed away due to medical treatment.
Although the Chinese Communist Party officially claimed that most of the suicidal officials suffered from “depression” or “accidental death,” the outside world believes that most of the officials committed suicide because of suspected “corruption” problems.
