Within ten-plus days after the New Year of 2024, at least 15 high-ranking Chinese officials died of illness, including Zhang Kehui, former vice chairman of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), a symbolic political advisory body; Xue Ju, former Party chief of Zhejiang Province, Zhou Daojiong, second chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC); and Sun Zaifu, former deputy Party chief of Hunan Province.
Zhang Kehui also served as deputy director of the Taiwan Affairs Office in the early 1990s, an organization that actively assists the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in its United Front work targeting Taiwanese.
