The Chinese head of Interpol flew to China last month and hasn’t been heard from since. He’s reportedly under investigation in China.

Meng was a member of the Communist Party Committee of the Ministry of Public Security, but he lost that seat in April, according to the SCMP article. So, perhaps he has fallen out of favor with the leadership or gotten caught up in some anti-corruption probe.

I listened to a fascinating podcast last week (with a lot of speculation, necessarily) that some in the upper echelons like Jiang Zemin are starting to push back against Xi Jingping out of fear that he’s trying to create another Mao-like cult of personality. Seems like there may be some factional housecleaning going on?
