The disappearance of Chinese vice-minister of State Security Dong Jingwei is the most fascinating report of the week.
Maybe I’ve been too engrossed in Charles McCarry’s wonderful spy novels, but this week the story of the disappearance of Chinese vice-minister of State Security (the Guoanbu) Dong Jingwei strikes me as the most fascinating report of the week. While we are unlikely to get the full story for a while -- if ever -- I think he’s in the U.S. under deep cover and that has to concern both the leaders of China and any CCP operatives there may be in the Deep State.

“Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.”
I’m thinking the Chinese may have…maybe…read Sun Tzu.
Wouldn't they have burned all those books during the Cultural Revolution?
I am waiting to see if employees of our other security agencies start having fatal accidents or commit suicide or just disappear. We may or may not find out about such things, though, if they occur.
real men hang to the right

With Sum Ting Wong.
Under Mao China “Standarized” the Chinese Character set to make it more universal, but also to make it harder to read old works that might be counter revolutionary.
The big guy sent them back!
Dong Jingweitried going against the great Deng Xia Peng.
The Dong got Denged to a re-education camp it the Tibetan Autonomous region where he is making yak butter and chai for the army.
Probably along with everyone who read them.
Sort of like when Common Core hit the ground, schools stopped teaching cursive?
“Sort of like when Common Core hit the ground, schools stopped teaching cursive?”
And stopped teaching history?
1984 Newspeak, change language so they are not able to even discuss revolution.
They may have kept a few copies for the People’s Liberation Army High Command. You don’t expect a society that bans guns to disarm its enforcers.
