Wang Xiaohong, the Minister of Public Security of the People's Republic of China, mysteriously disappeared for seven days, failing to appear in official media, causing unease within the political and legal system. His former subordinate and "closest secretary," Dong Yijun, was officially announced to have died of a "sudden illness" on 21 October 2025 at the age of 58. The news was delayed for 25 days before being officially released on 15 November. The official announcement of Dong Yijun's death coincided with the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (October 20-23). ​​The Fourth Plenary Session is traditionally a highly sensitive time for high-level power struggles, with Beijing under heavy security, and high-ranking police officials responsible for perimeter security. However, Dong Yijun's "sudden death" at this time, and the nearly month-long delay in its announcement, is considered highly unusual.

Dong Yijun served as the Director of the Office of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau from 2017 to 2021, when Wang Xiaohong was the Director. The Director of the Office is considered the "closest secretary," handling confidential matters and being the Director's most trusted confidant; he is referred to as Wang Xiaohong's "number one steward."

Even more coincidentally, actor Wen Yifan recently posted an article revealing that "the umbrella above has broken," and the next day, news of Dong Yijun's death was announced. Dong Yijun's death occurred during the most sensitive period of the four-day Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, when Beijing was under heavy security, with high-ranking police officials responsible for perimeter security. Dong's sudden death at this time raises many questions and instantly ignites speculation about power struggles in Beijing.

Recently, there has been a surge of "sudden deaths from illness" among CCP officials:

On 3 November 2025, Jiang Xinjun (56 years old), secretary of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps Discipline Inspection Commission, died suddenly;

Last year, Yu Jianhua, director of the Customs Administration, was reported to have "swallowed a gun after being summoned for questioning."

It is widely speculated that Dong Yijun's death is unlikely to be unrelated to power struggles.

This coincides with the ongoing fallout from the case of mainland actor Yu Menglong. Lin Beichuan, a member of the "Red Second Generation," has published a series of articles directly targeting Bi Bo, director of the Chaoyang District Public Security Bureau in Beijing, and implicitly pointing to higher levels within the public security system. Multiple locations involved in the case are in Beijing's Chaoyang District, sparking online speculation:

Was Dong Yijun silenced because he possessed crucial information about the case?

Although there is no concrete evidence, the timing, position, and sensitivity of the case have fueled numerous speculations.

The police system has become a high-risk group: frequent deaths of young and middle-aged police officers.

Around the time of Dong Yijun's death, several young police officers died suddenly from "illnesses":

Wei Junxian, political commissar of the Laibin Public Security Detachment in Guangxi—45 years old

Zhang Wei, instructor of the Rudong Criminal Investigation Team in Jiangsu—41 years old

Guo Xuefeng, director of the Zhumadian Public Security Bureau in Henan—51 years old

The series of deaths over the past few months has led to the police being called the "most dangerous profession" within the CCP.

Dong Yijun was a long-time subordinate of Wang Xiaohong, making his role sensitive; and Wang Xiaohong himself has also been unusually "missing for seven days," leading to further speculation:

Is a new round of purges erupting within the police force?

Did a major internal power struggle occur during the Fourth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee?

Is the Beijing police system involved in an even larger personnel upheaval? Within the CCP system, the closer one is to the centre of power, the more likely they are to "disappear" at any moment. Dong Yijun's death is undoubtedly the latest warning sign in Beijing's power struggle. Some say it is the vortex of power swallowing them up; others believe it may be the beginning of retribution.

Party Commentary/Breaking News: Like Cai Qi, Wang Xiaohong not only disappeared for seven days, but his chief secretary, Dong Yijun, also died suddenly, with rumors circulating that his death was not natural. Dong Yijun served as the director of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau's office from 2017 to 2021, completely overlapping with the position of bureau chief Wang Xiaohong. News reports stated that on October 21, Dong Yijun suddenly fell ill at work and died despite medical treatment at the age of 58. However, this news was only released three weeks later, which is unusual.

The mysterious death of a Beijing deputy bureau chief, with official announcement delayed for a month, reveals an even more chilling truth

—Is it related to Yu Menglong? Beijing Deputy Public Security Bureau Chief dies suddenly at 58; Official Announcement delayed by 25

The wave of sudden deaths within the CCP system continues to spread, with higher positions and younger ages leading to more sudden demise. Recently, another key figure died suddenly—58-year-old Dong Yijun, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau. Even more bizarrely, the CCP officially delayed announcing the news for nearly a month, only daring to use two sensitive terms to describe the cause of death: "sudden illness" and "unfortunate death." In the CCP's discourse, this often signifies an unnatural death, including suicide, being silenced, excessive pressure, and other truths they are unwilling to disclose.

On 15 November 2025, the CCP's official mouthpiece suddenly released a message stating that the Political and Legal Affairs Commission required the national political and legal system to "learn from Dong Yijun." Such "memorial-style commendations" are common in politically motivated deaths, only deepening external suspicions.

Dong Yijun, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, died suddenly from an illness. The Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission issued a document calling for his study and emulation.

Dong Yijun was a native of Beijing and served in the Municipal Public Security Bureau for a long time, rising from office director and Tongzhou branch director to deputy director. He was promoted to his current position in May 2023, and his career was on a rapid upward trajectory, but he died mysteriously just over a year later. The official statement said he "suddenly fell ill" while working, but no details were disclosed.

The timing of the incident is extremely sensitive, coinciding with the ongoing controversy surrounding mainland actor Yu Menglong. Some online speculate that Dong may have been implicated in related matters and silenced, while others point out that he was in charge of traffic operations and seemed unrelated to the case. However, the CCP system is known for its complex interdepartments, and "superficial unrelatedness" cannot rule out any possibilities.

More importantly, during his tenure as director of the Tongzhou branch of the Public Security Bureau, Dong Yijun was deeply involved in the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners and was listed as a target of the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong. His career was highly intertwined with the CCP's political ecosystem, and the sudden deaths of such individuals under pressure, fear, political struggles, and purges are not uncommon.

Many mainland Chinese—especially those with religious beliefs—believe that this wave of sudden deaths among officials is a "real karmic retribution." In recent years, from the public security bureau and the discipline inspection commission to the courts and propaganda system, a large number of middle-aged and young cadres have suddenly died, committed suicide, fallen from buildings, or gone missing, becoming a new normal in the CCP's officialdom.

Aboluowang commentator Wang Duren points out: Dong Yijun's death reflects three terrifying realities of the CCP system—high-pressure politics, absolute loyalty censorship, and the infighting and power struggles within the political and legal system. In this environment, officials either die from overwork, die from fear, or are "forced to die." The reasons cannot be given, the truth cannot be investigated, and those responsible cannot be questioned.
