China Decided to Establish the National Security Council

*KGB: KGB is short for Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti(Russian), i.e., Committee for State Security(English)

The Third Plenary Session of 18th Communist Party of China Central Committee declared to establish two new bureaus, and one of them is the National Security Council.

This council is said to be established to improve the national security system and strategy. Yet, it seems a tradition for communist countries to set up a quasi-secret department to erase those dissidents or someone the government dislikes. The counterpart department KGB in Soviet Union is good at doing this job, and they are very efficient in the Great Purge.

It is not coincident that the leaders of communist countries are also the top leaders of these secret security councils. Lenin established KGB(its predecessor), Stalin extended it greatly, and Putin was one of the leaders of KGB, and now Mr Xi Jinping, the leaders of China, joined them.

This history will not end until the end of communist parties.
