An unusually detailed review of how Meng Hongwei is not the first police senior official to be removed; I use unusual as the South China Morning Post (SCMP), based on Hong Kong has a new owner who has been criticized for being pro-Beijing.

The article ends with a SME's comment:

(Professor)Steve Tsang, director of the SOAS China Institute in London and author of China in the Xi Jinping Era, said the most basic tenet of Xi Jinping Thought is strengthening party control. “With such goals it is unexceptional that Xi seeks to tighten control over the security apparatus and put his own men [almost exclusively] in charge of them, be it the People’s Liberation Army or the Ministry of Public Security or, for that matter, the other security apparatus.”
