Q: Another high profile person missing in China

The other week an actress this time a Cop ..is anyone safe?

Interpol president missing for 10 days after returning to China

12:13am Oct 6, 2018

A French judicial official says the president of Interpol has been reported missing after traveling to his native China.

Police in France have opened an investigation into the disappearance of Interpol president Meng Hongwei.

Mr Meng's wife last heard from her 64-year-old husband 10 days ago when he left Lyon, France, where Interpol is based.

A spokeswoman for Interpol refused to tell CNN if Mr Meng was on official business in China when he was last heard from.

"Interpol is aware of media reports in connection with the alleged disappearance of Interpol President Meng Hongwei. This is a matter for the relevant authorities in both France and China," Interpol said in a statement.

"Interpol's General Secretariat headquarters will not comment further."

CNN is awaiting a response from the prosecutor's office in Lyon, France, where the international crime fighting and police cooperation agency is based.

French national police and the French Interior Ministry declined to comment on the story.

CNN has also sought to contact Chinese authorities, but it is a public holiday in China.

Mr Meng, who was formerly China's vice minister for public security and a head of Interpol China, was elected president of Interpol in November 2016.

He was the first Chinese official to become Interpol president, Chinese state news agency Xinhua said at the time.

The secretary-general of Interpol is responsible for the day-to-day running of the organisation.

The president of Interpol is getting a detention debriefing for all the secrets of EU criminal protocols and to copy any investigative techniques we don't know about it.

 

Tell us everything you know and we will let you live.

'Interpol' is an abbreviation for International Police ... 'Sum Ting Wong ...?'  

 

 

Interpol Begs Beijing For Information On Europe's Top Cop

"Interpol has requested through official law enforcement channels clarification from China’s authorities on the status of Interpol President Meng Hongwei..."

Beijing: 'Interpol, STFU! TIC ...!'

 

... ask laowai English teachers for 'TIC' term explanation ... 

 

icnif77:

Following reports that Interpol chief Meng Hongwei, 64, had been "taken away for questioning" by Chinese disciplinary authorities almost immediately after arriving in China last week, Bloomberg reported that the supranational law-enforcement agency had formally asked Beijing for "a clarification" about Meng's status.

Meng, who is also a deputy minister for public safety in China though he had been living with his family in Lyon, France, where Interpol's headquarters is based, was reported missing  by his wife earlier this week, prompting prosecutors in France to open an investigation. That investigation is continuing despite confirmation that Meng is being held by the Chinese government.

"Interpol has requested through official law enforcement channels clarification from China’s authorities on the status of Interpol President Meng Hongwei," Juergen Stock, secretary general of the organization based in Lyon, France, said in a statement. "Interpol’s general secretariat looks forward to an official response from China’s authorities to address concerns over the president’s well-being."

Meng is also China's deputy minister of public security and has 40 years of experience in policing and public safety. His experience includes stints working on narcotics enforcement and counter-terrorism, according to Interpol’s website. While many at Interpol feared Meng would abuse his position to encourage foreign governments to extradite Chinese dissidents living abroad, instead, he appears to have taken an interest in cybercrime enforcement since his election in November 2016. His term is set to expire in 2020.

Meng's family hasn't received any information about his status since he left France on Sept. 29. Nobody from the French of Chinese governments returned Bloomberg's request for comment.

While the exact justification surrounding Meng's capture remains murky, the South China Morning Post reported that Meng may be the latest target of the Chinese government's anti-corruption campaign.

If true, this is clearly bad news for Meng and his family, and brings to mind the fate of another prominent Communist Party official, Bo Xilai, a former municipal party chief known for his crackdown on organized crime and corruption. Bo was stripped of his status and eventually sentenced to life in prison. Others who have been prosecuted under Chinese President Xi Jinping's anti-corruption crackdown have suffered an even worse fate.

So he wanted to replace all the public security officials when he took power. He could have just fired them all the day he took office.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
