The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection should not have intervened. It will take some time to determine the case of Wang Lijun. [Reprinted from "American Overseas Chinese Network"] During China's "Two Sessions", the Wang Lijun incident once detonated the Chinese Internet (when the incident occurred, he was the deputy mayor of Chongqing, There is more new information about some details of the "Crackdown" director): Huang Qifan confirmed for the first time that the national security department took away Wang Lijun who came out of the U.S. Consulate. Earlier mainland media broke the news that Wang Lijun's case was subsequently transferred to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China. The news was denied by Hong Kong media on March 4, quoting Ma Wen, deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection: "Wang Lijun's case was not handled by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection." If the report is true, it will mean that it will take some time for the central government to finalize the incident. Ma Wen, Deputy Secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, Minister of Supervision and Director of the National Corruption Prevention Bureau, disclosed on the afternoon of March 3 after the opening meeting of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference that the latest developments in the case of Liu Zhijun, the former Party Secretary and Minister of the Ministry of Railways, "it will take some time to enter the judicial process" have attracted attention from the outside world. Mainland media also reported on it. However, Hong Kong’s English-language newspaper South China Morning Post reported on the 4th that it quoted Ma as saying on the first day of the CPPCC opening on the 3rd that “No, he does not fall under the jurisdiction [of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection]’” and that she had not received any “official notice” on Wang’s case. However, almost no mainland media reported Ma Wen's remarks. The report also said that Ma Wen's comments about Wang Lijun's incident made the rumors that Wang Lijun was under investigation by China's national security department more credible. Earlier, the official Xinhua News Agency issued a press release late at night on February 9 stating that "Wang Lijun entered the U.S. Consulate General in Chengdu on February 6 and stayed for one day before leaving. Relevant departments are investigating this." The official did not reveal which department was involved in the investigation. Later, a mainland netizen uploaded an electronic ticket, which showed that Wang Lijun took an 8 a.m. flight from Chengdu to Beijing on the 8th, and was accompanied by Vice Minister of National Security Qiu Jin. Although the news has not been confirmed, it is generally believed that Wang Lijun was taken away by the national security department for investigation. A spokesman for the Chongqing Municipal Government said on March 5 through Chongqing's official Hualong website, "As far as I know, Wang Lijun is currently under investigation by relevant national departments, and the investigation has made progress. After a comprehensive and in-depth investigation by relevant national departments, the central government will deal with it strictly in accordance with disciplines and laws." There is still no information about which department is investigating Wang Lijun. However, on February 28, before the two sessions, Chongqing Mayor Huang Qifan confirmed for the first time in an interview with Phoenix TV, a Hong Kong media station in mainland China, that Wang Lijun was taken away by national security system personnel for investigation after leaving the U.S. Consulate General in Chengdu: "Because his matter has involved national security issues, it is natural for our national security system personnel to do some investigation and research after he comes out." After Wang Lijun was taken away by members of the national security system, Mainland China's Caixin New Century Weekly reported on February 12 that Wang Lijun was "very calm" when he left the US consulate in the early morning of the 8th. He was put on a plane and taken to Beijing on the 8th, and was handed over to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection for review on the 9th. Overseas Chinese media later reported that Wang Lijun was probably under investigation by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. However, the South China Morning Post report quoted Ma Wen, deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, as saying that the Wang Lijun case was not transferred to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. If the report is true, it will mean that it will take some time for the central government to finalize the incident. It is worth noting that the South China Morning Post report on March 4 cited a rumor that Wang Lijun himself asked the National Security Bureau to investigate because Bo Xilai was allegedly close to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (One rumor is that Wang had demanded that his actions be investigated by the Ministry of State Security rather than the disciplinary commission, in which Bo has many close allies).
