Ex-security head in China takes on new political job
Liu Xunyan is moved to the law commission as part of a major reshuffle of the PLA
A former security section head of one of the four headquarters of the People’s Liberation Army has been promoted to a deputy party chief of the newly established political and law commission.
Major General Liu Xunyan paid a visit to a police school in Beijing, marking his first public appearance after taking on the new position in the politics and law commission formed as part of the recent PLA military overhaul, according to the website of the People’s Public Security University.
Liu and representatives of the commission led by its secretary, Li Xiaofeng, visited the school on Thursday, the institution said in a statement on its website.
Liu, from Jinan in eastern Shandongprovince, was previously head of the security bureau under the general political department of the PLA. His age and other personal information were not available.
The PLA’s security bureau is responsible for ensuring that military discipline is observed as well as criminal investigation and other security work.
Li, formerly chief procurator of the military procuratorate, was officially acknowledged as the secretary of the new commission in a report by Xinhua two weeks ago.
