The Armed Police is
Jiang Ze Min's Personal Army
Shi Jin
In today’s China, which is ruled under CCP’s One-party autocracy, the armed
police are virtually Jiang Ze Min’s personally-controlled army, Jiang’s right
hand in practicing his dictatorship.
In Mao’s time, no one has ever heard of such a term, “ armed police”. On
April.5, 1976, it was the Beijing militia that practiced the suppression. On
June 4, 1989, it was “the People’s Liberation Army” that was used by Deng Xiao
Ping to cruelly crush the peaceful student movement.
When Jiang Ze Min, in the shock from the Palace coup induced by June 4 Massacre,
crawled onto the throne of the highest power in China, with the Party,
government and military under his namely ruling, he knows just too well that he
doesn’t possess the inherent authority that Mao and Deng had. He also has
learned that the aftermath of using the army to put down mass movement is too
heavy a burden. Therefore, flying high the banner of “Stability comes first of
everything”, he moved very quickly in establishing the armed police as his
personally-controlled army.
With the bloody lessons from the previous palace coup, such as Deng could have
managed arresting the “Gang of Four”, overthrowing Hua Guo Feng, abandoning Hu
Yao Bang, deposing Zhao Zi Yang, Jiang Ze Min has learned the critical functions
of the Chief of the CCP Central Administration and the Commander of CCP Central
Security Guards, realized these two positions are the keys of the keys in
stabilizing his throne and dealing with political enemies. Therefore, once he
ascended the throne, the top priority on his list was to grab these two less
publicized yet extremely powerful positions. Soon, Zeng Qing Hong, who has been
Jiang’s right hand ever since he was the Shanghai mayor, became the Chief of the
Central Administration. Next, Zeng successfully schemed replacing Yang De Zhong,
who had been the Commander of CCP Central Security Guards since Deng’s time,
with Jiang’s Personal Bodyguard You Xi Gui, who became the new Commander of
Central Security Guards and the Number One Deputy Chief of the CCP Central
Administration. (Zeng’s scheme is very simple: he made a deal with Yang De Zhong---giving
back the Commander title, in exchange for a much grander title yet having no
control over the Guards anymore: the title of a General.) This way, Jiang has
had the total control of the Zhong Nan Hai, and the first step of establishing
Jiang’s personally-controlled army has been achieved.
To handle his political enemies, Jiang set up an armed police troop of
1,500,000, which, together with the Public Security (the police in the real
sense in China), totals over 5,000,000.
This troop of armed police is all equipped with modern army facilities, what’s
more, they are also trained in martial art, skills of kidnapping and
killing---it was a very handy weapon in controlling ordinary people. Jiang is
certainly a better student of Mao and Deng.
As a matter of fact, establishing a personal army is not Jiang’s patented
invention at all. In the last two dynasties in China, history tells us, the
emperors had set up their privately-controlled troops to suppress any dissident
forces. Emperor Ming Cheng established “Eastern Section” in 1420, with his
eunuchs as supervisors---these eunuchs only listened to the emperor himself
alone, and their power was above any ministries, they could arrest and torture
anybody at their whims. Emperor Xian Zong set up his “Western Section” in 1477,
which seemed even more influential. Emperor Wu Zong set up “Inner Section”,
directed by his right hand eunuch Liu Jin, which had the biggest spying network
in history. Millions died for reasons they never found out.
Although “armed police” has its predecessors, but Jiang certainly has had his
own contribution to this ancient invention. The notorious “Eastern Section” in
Ming Dynasty at its prime was only a troop of around 20 to 30 thousand men, and
yet, Jiang’s armed police are over 1,500,000. Considering the Eastern Section
men per capita at that time, it was like 1.5 divided by 10,000, yet in today’s
China, every 10,000 Chinese people can “enjoy” 12.5 of the armed police.
Jiang used his armed police for mutil-purposes: suppressed the
independence-seeking Uighurs; suppressed Muslim and Tibetan uprisings; put down
student protests; forced away tens of thousands of unemployed factory workers’
protests; dismissed angry peasants who found it hard to survive with endless
taxes; closed down peaceful qi gong organizations.
Jiang’s armed police have another important use: restricting the power of the
army. As the highest commander of Chinese army, Jiang has never had any actual
experience in commanding the army for combats. He could not sleep well with such
a pending sword over his head. But with his pet---the armed police, he can
certainly protect his own vicinity, which has been proved very effective in
Chinese politics.
The foxy, insidious Jiang Ze Min, for the stability of his own throne, adopted
the ancient feudal emperors cruel ruling ways, has set up and expanded his armed
police as an effective way of keeping his tyranny to further confine Chinese
people in their misery.
Jiang Ze Min has gone too far from the modern democracy tide in the whole world.
His efforts of turning China into Jiang Dynasty is being strongly condemned by
the world.
