CHINA-INTERNAL: PROVINCIAL SECURITY REORGANISATION
|
China Police Daily reported on June 23, 2015 that Sun Jianguo resigned as Hunan's police chief, but stayed on as head of the province's politics and law committee, which oversees the police, courts and prosecutors for the entire province. China Police Daily said Hunan's new top police official will be Huang Guanchun, a former police chief and vice governor of the northeastern province of Jilin. There is expectation that the province of Jilin and the Guangxi-Zhuang AR and Ningxia-Hui ARs would follow suit.
(Comment: In recent years, one official held both the committee and police chief positions at the provincial level which most observers saw as an arrangement to ensure that the Party kept a tight grip over the police.)
