What if one of the most powerful jobs in China also turned out to be one of the most dangerous?
Over the past two decades, every major leader of the Chongqing Municipal Public Security Bureau has suffered a dramatic downfall—from execution and life sentences to corruption investigations and mysterious deaths. Is it simply coincidence, or does the position itself sit at the center of China's most intense political struggles?
In this episode, we trace the extraordinary stories of Wen Qiang, Wang Lijun, He Ting, Deng Huilin, Zhang Anjiang, and others to explore how Chongqing became one of the Chinese Communist Party's most volatile political battlegrounds.
From Bo Xilai's anti-crime campaigns to factional infighting inside China's security apparatus, this documentary examines how political loyalty, internal purges, and elite power struggles repeatedly turned one office into what many observers describe as a political "curse."
