Dong Jingwei’s supposed disappearance coaxes China’s troubled history littered with past cases of state secrets being spilled, espionage and defection into view, says Professor Bo Zhiyue.
The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) centennial anniversary celebrations may have made headlines last week.
But amid the celebratory notes of how the country has arrived and how much the party has been pivotal to that narrative, observers reading the tea leaves to discern what big challenges lie ahead for the country may do well to look at certain, less well covered developments in the lead-up.
For while Chinese President and CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping’s leading of top Chinese communist leaders to renew their pledges of loyalty to the party on Jun 18 looked right at home, the ceremony was significant because it included Vice-president Wang Qishan, who had been widely rumoured to have fled China.
Had it been true, Wang would have been the highest-ranking official to defect in recent decades.
The last being Lin Biao - then heir apparent to Mao Zedong who was said to be fleeing China for the Soviet Union, after a failed assassination attempt on his mentor’s life when his plane crashed in 1971.
THE STRANGE CASE OF DONG JINGWEI
While those suspicions regarding Wang have been smashed, there are growing concerns over Dong Jingwei, vice-minister for state security, the latest official to have come under the spotlight for supposedly defecting.
On that same day as the demonstration of loyalty, Dong was reported to have separately chaired a meeting to discuss implementing new counter-espionage regulations that came into effect in April.
The meeting apparently emphasised the importance of not only capturing foreign spies but also their Chinese collaborators and financiers behind the scenes.

GREAT. Give ‘em the DONG, Dong.
Well, if there are spies in the CCP, they sure weren’t put there by the clowns in the CIA.
Not a problem. They just execute them.
the dong defection almost instantly disappeared from the headlines.
the US denied the defection as did china.
However the US changed its stance on the wuhan flu. something happened
