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.[ 2]
