An acquaintance of Dong Jingwei recently told the Chinese language media Vision Times exclusively that from what he knew about Dong, there does exist a possibility that Dong would choose to defect.
He said, Dong Jingwei used to work at the People’s Bank of China’s Hebei Branch after graduating from university and was transferred to the Hebei Provincial Government’s General Office around 1990.
He said that Dong has white skin and is clean-looking and medium-sized, and that he doesn’t talk much.
Dong Jingwei’s wife is Du Jinmei(杜金梅), who is the sister of a classmate of Dong Jingwei. She once worked as a nurse at the Hebei Provincial Hospital, and then with Dong’s promotion, she was transferred to the provincial Environmental Protection Department.
Dong Jingwei has a daughter named Dong Bo(董勃). She was born in 1989, and is 32 years old. She looks exactly like Dong Jingwei. People have been circulating a photo of a woman on the internet, saying she is Dong Jingwei’s daughter. Actually, she is not. She is another woman called Dong Huahau (董花花). Dong Jingwei’s family is very low-key and never posts their photos on line.
The acquaintance said that Dong Jingwei is very good at writing, that’s why he was transferred from the People’s Bank to the Hebei Provincial Government to be a secretary.
Later he was transferred to the Public Security Department in Hebei.
The reason why he was later transferred to Beijing was because of his connections with Li Zhanshu.
Li Zhanshu is currently the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, head of the de facto legislative body of the People’s Republic of China. He is a No.3 member of the Politburo Standing Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, China’s top decision-making body.
Li Zhanshu’s father in law was the head of People’s Bank of China’s Hebei Branch. So Dong Jingwei was his employee when he worked there. Because of this, Dong Jingwei had very good relationship with Li Zhanshu’s family. That’s why he got promoted very fast, and became the vice minister of State Security.
The CCP’s head Xi Jinping came to know Li Zhanshu when he worked in Zhengding County, Hebei Province as a party secretary in the early 1980s’.
The acquaintance said that from what he knew about Dong Jingwei, his defection is possible. Dong doesn’t have any family background with the CCP’s inner circle, his mother is a very simple housewife, his nature is not bad. But once somebody enters the CCP’s system, good people can also become bad.
The acquaintance said that given Dong Jingwei’s position within the system, he must have learned many of the CCP’s top secrets, and he knows all the bad things that the CCP has done. So he must be very disappointed with the CCP.
On the one hand, he may have been involved in some sensitive cases, and his own safety was at stake; on the other hand, he may have wanted to expose the truth to make up for his mistakes, so that the world could control the pandemic as soon as possible. So it is very likely that he chose to defect to the United States.
