<DIV>"Just The Facts, Ma'am"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>President Xia Hong</DIV>
<DIV>People's Republic of China</DIV>
<DIV>August 21, 2014</DIV>
<DIV>================================================</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>(Executive Residence- Beijing)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>With recent events still fresh on her mind, today was the day she sat down
with Minister Ah-guo Peng from the Ministry of Justice to discuss legal issues
in China. The 110 minute briefing passed just as slowly as the time limit
allowed it to. Ah-guo had a stellar record as a member of the Hong Kong
division of the CNP, and as a military officer... but the man certainly was not
the most charismatic man one could ever hope to meet. He had a definite
'elitist' aura to him that Xia never quite liked... in anyone, let along a
professional lawyer.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It took a lot of green tea for her to keep her composure around the
man. She knew he was 'trying' to be sociable, approachable, and to be
helpful... she could've just done without so many stories related to his past
accomplishments and how the lessons he helped pioneer should be incorporated on
a grander scheme of things. There was more than one moment where she
simply felt like saying 'oh grandpa.'</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>He was however a capable minister who took charge, and consequence, when it
came to his ministry. He was doing a very tough job very well, and for
that he really had no lack of admiration. The reorganization and
retraining of National Police forces was going well. There was a shifting
of 'nominal law enforcement' operations to local municipalities where
possible... though for the moment that was really limited to places like
Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong which had the local structures and budget to
support modern, capable police forces. It became clear the CNP would be
bearing most of the burden for the foreseeable future, but with it's
modernization, the ongoing national law review, and a road map towards the
future they were at the very least on their way to reducing CNP's bureaucracy
and putting more effective, more technically trained, more professional and
civic minded police on the streets.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"Your plan for developing a professional cadre of law enforcement trainers
is promising, Madam President." Ah-guo sipped from his tea. "But it
would require the redistribution of considerable resources."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There really was no getting around that. The CNP had provincial units
which worked on general law enforcement in each of the geographic areas of
China... and in that case were more akin to American 'State Police' in that they
had marked cars, precincts, supporting facilities, wore uniforms and carried
firearms, etc.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The CNP also had what was considered a more 'elite' group of Special Agents
that worked in bureaus. The Investigative Service as it was called was
much more like the American FBI, with extremely high-tech supporting structures,
wide-ranging jurisdiction, fairly broad discretion, and often times devoted to
specific tasks. There was the Cyber Crimes Unit, the Marshall's Service
which protected officers of the court and saw to the movement of criminals, the
Special Services Unit which trained and fielded SWAT teams, the Human-Traffiking
Bureau, the Special Investigations Bureau (SIB) which investigated corruption
and political crimes, the Emergency Services Unit (ESU) which handled things
like bomb squad activities and natural disaster response, and of course the
Intellectual Property Unit.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There were many more units in the CNP, but when push came to shove the only
unit that really 'could' spare people at the moment was the IPU. It was a
simple matter of priorities... they needed seasoned, experienced officers that
were smart and civil in how they operated... the IPU had a lot of those, and
many of whom had worked in the other units thus bringing wide ranges of
experience. Plus at 2,500 strong, the IPU had people to spare.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"I know Ah-guo, and I'm sure there might be 'some' worry about the move,
but we've made great strides towards trademark and copyright security.
Those officers are needed to train the next generations... it's a matter of
priorities. If protecting hundreds of millions of Chinese means worrying
one or two companies a little in that it might take 2 months rather than 1 month
to find a low-scale violator of copyright laws who sells bootleg 'Mickey Mouse'
T-shirts, well that's a price I'm willing to pay." She smirked. "IPU
doesn't really need more than 300 officers. The other 2200 can be freed
up... transfer some of them to the other units so we can provide a cadre of
mixed experiences and talents, and get the best trainers we can. We'll
then revamp the National Police Academy and provide specialized training
facilities as satellite schools... by the end of this year I expect our Police
to be the envy of the world."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"You say that as if they're not already." Ah-guo winked. It was
true, the conviction rate China's police and prosecutors managed to get was
above and beyond anything the West could hope for... though the reasons that it
was, was ironically the same reasons that called for re-training.
"Consider it done Madam President. There is one more thing before we
adjourn. Our investigators have completed their review of the Canadian
prisoners released during the Canadian attack. The Marshall and
Corrections services included internal documents for your review."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Xia was a bit curious, taking the rather dense black binder from Ah-guo
with a mixture of interest and trepidation. He left it up for grabs on
whether or not this was a good find or a bad one. She started going
through it, listening to Ah-guo as she thumbed through it's pages.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"Of the 40 prisoners they released, only 11 were held exclusively on
espionage charges, and 7 of those were commercial espionage charges related to
IPU's work in trying to cut down on IP theft at the request of the western
governments to begin with. The remaining 29 were hardened criminals.
Among them, we have 7 convicted murderers, 2 murderer-rapists, 8 general rapists
including 3 wanted for raping children. 4 more were mafia organizers
looking to set up in China, 2 were drug kingpins, and 3 were arrested in
connection to investigations launched to stem human traffiking into Russia and
out to the West. You might... want to avoid the pictures since you've just
had something to drink."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"Oh my God..." the tea-cup fell from Xia's hand and shattered on the marble
floor of the rear terrace as she saw the mutilated body of one 'tween, butchered
beyond all recognition, a small elmo doll placed next to what was 'supposed' to
be her body, and a white flower meticulously placed in the middle of her still
developing chest. Her quivering hand reached for her lips... Xia was a
woman who most often could control her emotions, or project them as a tool, but
even for her this was way too much. She slammed the book shut.
"Release it."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Ah-guo placed his own cup down. That wasn't the order he'd 'been'
expecting. "Are you sure Madam President?"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"Yes, yes I'm sure. The world needs to see this." She shoved
the book back towards Ah-guo. "Provide a copy to Interpol first, along
with anything they request. Affidavits from arresting officers, court
testimony, certified copies of evidence reports with complete chains of
custody... I want the Americans to know who it was they helped to escape, and I
want the Canadians to know exactly what their tax-dollars and resources had gone
to helping escape and bring back to their shores."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"Being that open might harm some of our ongoing operations."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Xia nodded. "Make all preparations in that arena that you need to,
but I 'want' those criminals either back in prison where they belong, or
dead Ah-guo."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>====================================</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>ACTIONS</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. Sit down with Minister Ah-guo Peng</DIV>
<DIV> A. China to continue with it's 'Law Review',
modernizing China's laws and policies to better serve the People's Republic in
the modern day. The National Law Review consists of recognized private and
public experts on the law, including Minister Peng himself, lawyers, judges,
professors, and Congress reps.</DIV>
<DIV> B. The Modernization of the CNP to
continue. Acquisition of new technologies, new training, and new
capabilities so bureaucratic staff could be greatly cut and more officers put in
the field.</DIV>
<DIV> C. Continue a shift to reliance on Municipal
police to enforce most laws in major areas. Most cities have long standing
police, but cities that don't will get help and advisement in creating
them.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2. CNP training to be reorganized. The National Police Academy
will serve as the primary school for CNP officers (especially of the
Investigative Service) with satellite training facilities to provide the
capacity and training diversity China needs.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>3. 2,200 officers to be transferred from the IPU. The spare
space will be used to cycle through the various units of the CNP to get the best
and brightest to be trainers for the CNP Education and Training centers.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>4. Release to Interpol and world news outlets exactly what kind of
'innocent citizens' Canada freed, and brought back to their shores. Spare
no secrets regarding the rapists, murderers, organized criminals, drug kingpins,
human traffikers, etc.</DIV>
<DIV> A. Undercover operations etc. to be given
early warning to wrap up and grab who you can to safeguard the lives of Chinese
police at operational control discretion.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>5. Demand the Canadians return the prisoners to finish their terms
and/or be executed.</DIV></FONT><BR><BR><BR><DIV><FONT style="color: black; font: normal 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF;"><HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px">Psssst...Have you heard the news? <A title="http://www.stylelist.com/trends?ncid=aolsty00050000000014" href="http://www.stylelist.com/trends?ncid=aolsty00050000000014" target="_blank">There's a new fashion blog, plus the latest fall trends and hair styles at StyleList.com</A>.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
