[People News] As Xi Jinping appears poised to lose power, with rumors suggesting that Ding Xuexiang or Hu Chunhua may succeed him following the Fourth Plenary Session, reports have surfaced indicating that two of Xi Jinping's key aides, Minister of State Security Chen Yixin, has been placed under house arrest, and Wang Xiaohong is expected to be removed from his role as Minister of Public Security. How much of this is true? What secrets does Zhongnanhai hold that remain unknown to the outside world? Today, we will delve into this matter.
On June 24, 2025, commentator Lao Deng disclosed in his self-media program that credible sources indicate Minister of State Security Chen Yixin has been placed under house arrest and is undergoing an investigation. Minister of Public Security Wang Xiaohong may be relieved of his ministerial duties, retaining only his roles as State Councilor and Secretary of the Central Secretariat. A self-media figure known as "Da Bao Wang Chao" also reported in his program that Wang Xiaohong will be dismissed from his position as Minister of Public Security in the upcoming meeting of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress. Earlier this year, Mr. Jiang Wangzheng, who lives in Australia, also revealed that Wang Xiaohong will step down as Secretary of the Public Security Party Committee and Minister of Public Security, with the current Secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Committee, Yin Hong, set to take over.
The informant further noted that there will be new personnel changes within the Ministry of Public Security, with reports suggesting that Yang Weilin, the Director of the Public Security Department of Guangxi Autonomous Region, will be appointed as the Director of the Special Operations Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security.
The Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of State Security are the two most critical instruments for maintaining stability within the CCP. The fact that the heads of these two vital institutions are facing issues or being replaced certainly raises questions and surprises among the public: How will the CCP manage foreign relations? How will they ensure a "smooth" transition?
According to a whistleblower, Zhang Youxia, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China, has sent a military management team to take control of two departments. Last weekend, the Central Military Commission made a significant decision, and following an expanded meeting chaired by Zhang Youxia, actions were initiated. Currently, Major General Wang Chengnan, Deputy Director of the Political Work Department of the Central Military Commission, is leading the military management team to officially enter the Ministry of Public Security, while Major General Yang Youbin, Assistant Director of the Political Work Department of the Central Military Commission, is heading a military management team into the Ministry of State Security.
Some analysts are interpreting the recent sentencing of former Deputy Minister of Public Security Liu Yuejin to a suspended death sentence, along with the downfall of political and legal officials in Xinjiang, as indicators of Xi Jinping potentially losing control over the Public Security and political legal systems.
On June 23, 2025, Liu Yuejin was officially sentenced to a suspended death sentence. On the same day, Du Haitao, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of Hami City in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, was announced to be under investigation. The official report from the Communist Party cited 'serious violations of discipline and law' as the reason for Du Haitao's investigation. Both individuals have connections to Xi Jinping's faction in various ways. Consequently, some analysts suggest that Xi Jinping's faction has lost its grip on the political legal system, and the anti-Xi faction is ramping up its purges.
However, upon reviewing Wang Xiaohong's latest public engagements, the author discovered that party media reported on him on June 24, indicating that he delivered a keynote speech at the 20th meeting of the secretaries of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization member states' security conference, holding the titles of State Councilor and Minister of Public Security. A search for 'Chen Yixin's latest activities' on Google revealed that the most recent mention was on May 28, when the Beijing Daily reprinted an article by Chen Yixin in the 'Study Times' titled 'Enhancing the New Quality Combat Effectiveness of National Security Agencies through Style Construction.' Most news related to Chen Yixin suggested that 'he has gone missing,' 'he has followed the old path of Zhou Yongkang,' or hinted at family troubles with keywords like 'Chen Yixin's son.'
It is clear that the Chinese Communist Party has not yet dismissed Wang Xiaohong from his role as Minister of Public Security, and Chen Yixin has indeed been missing for nearly a month. On June 23, a symposium was held to mark the 10th anniversary of the National Security Law, and notably, Chen Yixin, as the Minister of State Security, did not make a public appearance at the event. The old lamp remarked that this serves as a 'curve confirmation report' from the CCP's official media, indicating that 'he is under house arrest.' Given that he is the head of the relevant authority, Chen Yixin's absence from a symposium on the National Security Law is unusual and suggests that he may have been dismissed.
Analysts suggest that if the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of State Security are indeed placed under military control, Chen Yixin may find himself in serious trouble. This would signify the formal takeover of the 'knife handle' by the CCP's 'gun barrel', resulting in Xi Jinping losing his authority over the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. Such a development would indicate a complete breakdown of Xi Jinping's control over the state's authoritarian apparatus, and it is highly probable that he will announce plans to transfer power during the Fourth Plenary Session or the 21st National Congress. However, the authenticity of these reports has yet to be confirmed. △
