(BOXUN) Media reports say there have been multiple attempts on the lives of President Xi Jinping and Wang Qishan, the Politburo member in charge of investigating and punishing corrupt officials. Boxun previously reported that before and after the 2013 Beidaihe leadership conference, sources close to Zhongnanhai said that Zhou Yongkang the former chief of domestic security arrested for corruption, had twice tried to assassinate Xi Jinping. One attempt was to plant a bomb at the conference location. The second was to give Xi a poisonous injection when he was having a checkup at Beijing’s Number 301 Military Hospital.

Boxun’s Hong Kong-based reporter learned that evidence of plotting has been uncovered in the homes of corrupt cadres after their arrests. One corrupt cadre secretly acquired an American-made sniper rifle to use against Xi and Wang. Over the past half-year, Xi Jinping’s security on trips has been significantly stepped up. All outdoor venues must be subjected to a security check first, and vice-provincial level officials must also be subjected to special security checks.

In the past two years’ anti-corruption campaign, many family members of corrupt cadres have been implicated and imprisoned, and many cadres have committed suicide. Under these circumstances, corrupt cadres will resort to any measures to save themselves.
