The Chinese Communist Party announced on Tuesday the crimes committed by Peng Bo, former deputy director of both its internet censorship agency and its Gestapo-like secret police office, who was sacked five months ago in March.
“Peng Bo’s ideals and beliefs collapsed, and he had been disloyal to the party, deviated from the Party Central Committee’s decisions on the online public opinion struggle, [and] gave up on positions taken to manage the internet,” the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) anti-corruption watchdog, said on its website on Aug. 17. “[Peng] engaged in superstitious activities ... and illegally received large amounts of property.”
