On February 4, 2020, the Communist Party Committee of the Public Security Ministry issued a notice to remind its police force that political orientation is the top priority.
The notice reminded the police forces that their job is to maintain social stability whenever the novel coronavirus is mentioned. They should elevate their political standing when fighting the spread of the virus so that they uphold the leadership of Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Committee.
