Be loyal to China’s govt, police chief tells force

Sources said that China’s former security tsar, Zhou Yongkang, one of the most powerful politicians of the decade, has been put under effective house arrest while the party investigates corruption allegations against him.
Last month, the government began a graft investigation into a one-time deputy public security minister, Li Dongsheng, an ally of Zhou’s.
Li held a rank equivalent to cabinet minister, and state media says he is the first member of the ruling party’s Political and Legal Affairs Committee, the influential domestic security body which Zhou used to head, to be investigated for graft.
Writing in the party’s official People’s Daily, Public Security Minister Guo Shengkun said his more than two 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.
