Sun Lijun, the ringleader of a rebel clique of former senior Chinese police officials, has been imprisoned for life, along with at least two of his allies as President Xi Jinping continues his scorched-earth campaign to clean out his enemies in the public security ministry.
On September 23, the Intermediate People’s Court of Changchun sentenced former Chinese Public Security vice-minister Sun with no chance of parole, according to the official Chinese anti-corruption website. The court found Sun guilty of taking RMB646 million (US$91 million) of bribes, manipulating the Chinese stock market, and possessing two illegal guns.
The same court imposed life sentences on Fu Zhenghua, a former Public Security vice-minister and former Minister of Justice, and Wang Like, the former chief of Public Security of Jiangsu province a day earlier. Fu, a top public security official who helped to put former Minister of Public Security Zhou Yongkang behind bars for life, has now suffered the same fate. A Chinese court convicted Wang Like of taking and giving bribes as well as conniving with organized crime. In particular, the court found Wang had frequently paid bribes to Sun.
On January 27, Asia Sentinel reported that a faction linked to Sun posed such a serious threat to Xi that the Public Security Ministry formed a team to crush it. This clique is now being crushed.
