Agreed with below, more images aswell as references needed.--SGGH 15:08, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Where is this from? It has 'chapter' references -- seems to be from a book. Is this a violation of someone's copyright? And it is not Wikified. --Kaihsu 16:42, 25 Aug 2003 (UTC)
This seems to be from the US Dept of State Area Study of China, which is OK for copyright purposes. It does seem a bit dated.
What I don't understand is the use of the past tense.

- Police officers are usually unarmed!? The police in China is very very armed.
No they aren't. Most police in the PRC are unarmed.

[edit] This needs to be cited and is probably in the wrong place

- In the 1980s secret police operations employed agents, informers, and "roving spies." Police surveillance apparently was restricted to probation and parole. Plainclothes agents were posted at bus and railroad stations and at other public places. Police informers denounced "bad elements" and assisted in the surveillance of suspected political criminals. Roving spies were a special category of informants that operated in the factories and work units and were very alert to signs of dissidence or sabotage. Youths aspiring to be Communist Youth League members, or league members aspiring to be party members, sometimes cooperated as informants and agents for the police.
1) need citations 2) This probably should be in the Ministry of State Security. MPS generally doesn't handle most political issues
