China’s Public Security Ministry said disloyalty to the Communist Party would not be tolerated and that it would be conducting further investigations into its own senior ranks, after a decision to prosecute former Interpol chief Meng Hongwei was made, said Reuters.
China announced that the investigation found Meng had spent “lavish” amounts of state funds, abused his power and refused to follow party decisions, resulting in his expulsion from the party and removal from his position as deputy public security minister.
“When it comes to party loyalty and sincerity, it is absolutely not allowed to be duplicitous, to agree overtly but oppose in secret, or to be a two-faced person, or lead a double life, or engage in political social climbing,” the Public Security Ministry said in a statement.
The statement gave no further details on future investigation plans, a part of the Party’s ongoing anti-corruption campaign, championed by President Xi Jinping.
