During the Third Plenum meetings this past weekend, the Communist Party Central Committee issued a communiqu\u00e9 outlining the plan for various reforms<\/a> under the Xi Jinping administration. Among those was the establishment of a “state security committee,” modeled on the U.S. National Security Council, with some crucial differences. From the New York Times<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n But the Chinese body, which was announced at the conclusion of a party meeting this week, will apparently differ from the American National Security Council in one crucial aspect: The Chinese version will have dual duties with responsibility over domestic security as well as foreign policy, Chinese experts say.<\/p>\n That means the new body will deal with cybersecurity as well as the unrest in China\u2019s Tibet and Xinjiang regions, where resistance against the Han majority population is continuing, according to Shi Yinhong, a professor of international relations at Renmin University in Beijing and an occasional adviser to the government.<\/p>\n \u201cIn China, the security question is largely domestic: cyber, Xinjiang and Tibet,\u201d Mr. Shi said. The focus will be on foreign policy with a considerable domestic component that will call for the Public Security Bureau to participate on the committee when it discusses matters of internal security, he said. [Source<\/strong><\/a>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang elaborated on who the committee would be targeting<\/a>:<\/p>\n \u201cThe purpose of the committee is to ensure the nation\u2019s security,\u201d Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang told a regular briefing today when asked about the body. \u201cThat should make terrorists, extremists and separatists nervous.

Translated by Little Bluegill:<\/p>\n @pufei: All of the announcements about to be published [from the Third Plenum] will fall into one of three categories: declaring revolution, promoting immigration, or showing off new tricks for swindlers.
