Chinese security agency
The Central Guard Bureau of the
General Office of the Chinese Communist Party (
Chinese : 中共中央办公厅警卫局 ), also nominally affiliated with the
army and the
police as the Guard Bureau of the
Joint Staff Department of the Central Military Commission (中央军委联合参谋部警卫局 ) and the Ninth Bureau of the
Ministry of Public Security (公安部九局 ) respectively, also known as the Central Security Bureau , is the organization responsible for overseeing the protection of senior party members, their families, and important foreign dignitaries in the
People's Republic of China , though actual close protection is performed mostly by the
Central Guard Regiment . It has been widely called the Central Guard Bureau (CGB; 中央警卫局 ) since the
Cultural Revolution .
[1] The bureau selects and controls the bodyguards of protectees;
[1]
[2] bodyguards are typically trained by the
People's Liberation Army (PLA).
[3] The CGB is part of the
internal security apparatus as protectees are constantly under surveillance by their bureau-selected bodyguards.
[4]
The CGB effectively controls the
PLA Ground Force
Beijing Garrison 's Central Guard Unit (PLA Unit 61889; formerly known as the
Central Guard Regiment ), an elite security unit, by having bureau deputy directors in leadership positions in the unit.
