Removed Ministry of Love reference

I edited out the Not to be confused with Ministry of Love from the top of the article. A worthy reference, and worth discussing, but really it's more cheeky than informative. Stretchrr (talk) 14:09, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

assessment

Agreed with below, more images aswell as references needed.--SGGH 15:08, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Where is this from? It has 'chapter' references -- seems to be from a book. Is this a violation of someone's copyright? And it is not Wikified. --Kaihsu 16:42, 25 Aug 2003 (UTC)

This seems to be from the US Dept of State Area Study of China, which is OK for copyright purposes. It does seem a bit dated.

What I don't understand is the use of the past tense.

Police officers are usually unarmed!? The police in China is very very armed.

No they aren't. Most police in the PRC are unarmed.

No they aren't. Most police in the PRC are unarmed.

Certainly not all police are unarmed, some of the frontline officers such as traffic police are unarmed. My uncle is a policeman in China, he always carries a gun. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.17.193.160 (talk) 12:47, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This needs to be cited and is probably in the wrong place

In the 1980s secret police operations employed agents, informers, and "roving spies." Police surveillance apparently was restricted to probation and parole. Plainclothes agents were posted at bus and railroad stations and at other public places. Police informers denounced "bad elements" and assisted in the surveillance of suspected political criminals. Roving spies were a special category of informants that operated in the factories and work units and were very alert to signs of dissidence or sabotage. Youths aspiring to be Communist Youth League members, or league members aspiring to be party members, sometimes cooperated as informants and agents for the police.


1) need citations 2) This probably should be in the Ministry of State Security. MPS generally doesn't handle most political issues

The above does not amount to a fact-based statement, but is an outsider's perception, based on guesses informed by assumptions concerning how the system ought to be working, given how it was conceptualized by those who sought to explain it.Villa Giulia (talk) 13:25, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

wrong information, police unarmed??

Not all police are unarmed "This new revolver has appeared in 2006 as a future armament for various elements of Chinese Police which previously were unarmed - such as traffic police, local municipal police etc. Since" Also it was issued in 2006, way back before the olympics I have made the corrections

Recruitment

I removed the sentence "Most recruits have Communist Youth League backgrounds or are former PLA personnel." because 1) it lacks citation; 2) it is misleading, because the majority of middle school students in PRC are members of Communist Youth League, especially in urban areas. --76.24.50.37 (talk) 06:26, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good move!Villa Giulia (talk) 19:38, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"of the mainland"

Somebody writes "is the principal police authority of the mainland of the People's Republic of China and..." which is poor grammar and factually wrong. I have tried to delete it, but it keeps being put back.Villa Giulia (talk) 18:27, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
