In the run-up to this autumn's Communist Party Congress, at which China will change its most senior leaders for the first time in ten years, provincial- and lower-level party committees have already been revamped. In the process, provincial chiefs of police are being taken down a peg. First, they are being dropped as leaders of the party's "political-legal" committees, which oversee the police, courts and prosecutors. These committees have enormous power. Of the 30 secretaries of provincial political-legal committees chosen this year, only nine are police chiefs, down from 13 out of 31 less than five years ago. A corollary of this trend is a second blow to the police chiefs' standing: they are also being denied places on the Communist Party's regional standing committees. Put simply, it looks as if China's police chiefs are being reminded who is in charge. Communist Party leaders cling tightly to their security state, even as they struggle to control it.
