A Director of Public Security Remembers

In the wake of the big round-up that we carried out after entering Shenyang in 1948, we proceeded to intensify agent work capacity building while stepping up efforts to combat collaborators and root out enemy operatives. Agent work required tailoring the approach to, and the management of, each target individually and the setting of priorities with respect to the target’s exploitation, cultivation, training, and utilisation. As a general policy, furthermore, it entailed painstaking operation and prolonged utilisation in order to allow agents to successfully infiltrate or approach and strike at the enemy and to perform their vital role in combatting collaborators and rooting out enemy operatives.
