In the summer of 2026, China re-launched a national special operation to "wipe off evil."
The number given by Focus China is "Published [2026] No. 53Signed on August 1, 2026, the Notice on the Deepening of the Special Struggle for the Reduction of Evil shows that this round of action plan takes about a year to advance, and re-accentuate key cases, level management, extraterrestrial police, disciplinary supervision and coordination and "paratrooping". compared with the previous expression of "normalizing the redundancy", the new document re-establishes a clear time limit, stage tasks and responsibility mechanisms, which means that the Reduction of Evil is returning to the centralized mobilization model.

This is a remarkable change. After the three-year special struggle to eliminate evil between 2018 and 2020, the Chinese officials announced that evil elimination was transformed into normalized governance. According to this logic, black crime and the corruption and protection relationship behind it should be continued to be dealt with by the public security, prosecutors, courts and disciplinary supervision systems, without relying on the cyclical national movement. But six years later, the Central Committee re-launched the special struggle, which shows itself that the normalization mechanism has not eliminated the problem of local black network and its power protection.
Jiangsu Taiping's long-term involvement in reporting around Wu Yuan has been re-entered in the public perspective in this context.
Over the years, Focus China’s continuously obtained and organized reporting materials have linked Wu Yun to gambling, high-profile loans, violent debt settlement, drug involvement, construction projects, massive property litigation and local political and legal relations. Among the most representative “Blue Sea 300” ship cases, a core question is further exposed: When a person is to have been involved in a long-term range of evil activities, his case is continuously broken down in the local judicial system, and is the criminal chain really cut off, or the investigation chain?
Return from “Normal” to Special Mobilization
On November 8, 2017, Xi Jinping issued instructions on the purification of evil.In January 2018, the national three-year special struggle for purification of evil was officially launched, and since then the special operation has officially ended and entered normal governance.
From the point of view of the system design, normalization means that anti-black evil has been incorporated into the daily criminal justice system. Public security organs are responsible for investigation, prosecutors review prosecution, courts judge according to law, and disciplinary supervision organs deal with cadres corruption and "surface" behind the black evil forces. If this mechanism can stabilize operation, theoretically it is not necessary to initiate a national unified special action again.
But the 2026 document once again specifies clear deadlines, key areas, key cases and phase targets, and strengthens the coordination of the Central Political and Legal Commission, local accountability investigation, level-level handling and out-of-the-spot police.
The advantage of this special governance is the ability to quickly concentrate administrative, legal and disciplinary resources, but the risks are equally obvious. Criminal cases should be factual and evidence-centric, and special actions often accompanied by timetables, political responsibilities and work assessments. While the document emphasizes “uncomparable numbers”, the localities simultaneously undertake the pressure of “must be productive”, the tension between movemental governance and judicial procedures has not disappeared.
More importantly, the subject of this round of blackmail has significantly expanded. The document not only deals with traditional black society organizations, but also incorporates illegal lending, illegal collection, cyber blackmail, “public opinion blackmail” and malicious claims into the scope of governance, and emphasizes the identification, investigation and early warning of “high-risk criminals”. This means that blackmail is no longer just criminal justice operations, but further embedded in grass-roots governance, network management and social risk control systems.
When countries have the ability to establish such powerful trace detection mechanisms through banks, telecommunications, Internet platforms, complaints systems, and big data, a reverse question arises: Why have some cases that have been long, involving massive assets, violence, drugs, engineering, and local laws, still not been fully investigated over the years?
The meaning of the Thing Wu case is here.
# Wu Yun report is not a case
There is a wide range of reporting materials around Wu Yun.
There are both gambling and casino activities, but also underground high-interest loans, violent debt settlement, asset competition; both involving drug holding, drug trafficking and even drug trafficking allegations, as well as involving construction projects, real estate and commercial interests.
If these issues are put into separate cases, they can easily be interpreted as unrelated security incidents, private loans, economic disputes, drug cases, or engineering disputes.
Casinos provide funds and people, high-interest loans turn money into debt control, violence is used to force debtors or business rivals to obey, and engineering and real estate can turn underground funds into larger legal assets.At the same time, once the case goes to public security, prosecutors and courts, if every clue is always handled as an isolated case, a complete organization is difficult to emerge in the jurisdiction.
This is also the place where the Wu Yuan case is most worthy of re-examination.The problem is not the number of relevant reports, but the long-standing obvious intersection between these reports, but always does not form a comprehensive explanation of the process of people, funds, engineering and case handling.
Casino and high-interest loans, are the first two lines revealed by Wu Yun interest network
In the early reports of Wu Yun, gambling and high-interest loans repeatedly appeared.
According to relevant public speaking and reporting materials, Wu Yun formed funds and social relations through gambling activities, and expanded debt control through high interest lending.In some specific disputes, high-value loans, guarantees, property mortgages are intertwined with people's pressures, control of vehicles, occupation of housing and business premises.
The real concern here is not whether a particular loan interest rate exceeds the legal protection criteria for private loans, but whether debt becomes a tool for obtaining the property of others. If high-interest loans are stable and accompanied by threats, coercion, property control and social intervention, then the so-called "loan dispute" can no longer explain the entire structure of facts.
According to the report, some borrowings, guarantees and liabilities eventually involve tens of millions of dollars in assets. If debt arrangements, violence and asset transfers long-term point to the same network of interests, it reflects not debt defaults in the traditional sense, but a model of economic control that relies on underground funds and compulsory ability to acquire assets.
This is why Wu Yong’s case cannot be judged only by “whether there is a name for a black society organization.”The core of the black network is never a name, but whether there is a stable source of funding, executives, means of control and interest distribution mechanisms.
Drugs hint further exposes the stability of people’s networks
The report also linked Wu Yun and his neighbors to drug use, drug involvement and drug trafficking.
If the drug clues and gambling and high-interest loans are independent of each other, the space for explanation remains great. But if the same people, the same places and the same social relationships repeat in these different activities, the nature changes. Casino providers gather, high-interest loans make debt dependence, drugs further strengthen control over some people, and several underground economic activities can form a stable link between each other.
The problem is that the past drug-related reports surrounding Wu Yun have not publicly formed the overall findings linked to gambling, violence, high-profile loans and engineering clues.
This exposes precisely one of the most easily overlooked forms of local black networking: Everything is handled by someone, but no one puts them together.When gambling is handled by the security system, borrowed to civil disputes, drug involvement as an individual case investigation, engineering is seen as a business issue, and an organized interest network can exist for a long time in the division of departments.
Engineering and real estate are key nodes for black money to enter the local economy
Compared to casinos and high-profile loans, construction engineering and real estate clues are more sensitive.
Because once underground funds enter the engineering project, its nature is no longer just the underground economy. Engineering connects land, finance, contracts, materials, settlement, administrative approval and local relationships, enabling the cash flow to expand rapidly into enterprise assets and long-term profits.
Reporting around Wu’s activity further focuses on building engineering and real estate, which means the issue has gone from casinos, high-interest loans and social networking to a more complex local business interest system.

If black money can complete the asset conversion with engineering projects, black money network depends no longer on violence, but on enterprises, contracts, projects and administrative relationships. violence still exists, but it goes back to the background; it really determines whether the interests can be sustained for the long term, who can enter the project, who can control the asset, who can be handled after a dispute occurs.

This is also the hardest-to-identify stage of the local “paraply”. Officials do not necessarily need to charge cash directly, nor do they necessarily need to publicly intervene in each case. As long as engineering opportunities, case handling and administrative resources can be long-term inclined to the same interest group, the evil forces can complete the transition from underground violence to local economic interest groups.

Blue Sea 300: How a single case becomes a miniature of the entire system
Among the related reports, the "Blue Sea 300" ship case is the most representative.
"Focus China" previously compiled materials recorded, Wu Yun collected 5 million yuan commission, organized dozens of personnel with knives forced control of the "Blue Sea 300" ship worth 100 million yuan; the case was ultimately dealt with by provocation, Wu Yun was sentenced to one year and four months. related materials also said that the case later entered the scope of central supervision, Wu Yun has since been secured, and went to Shaanxi after the insurance.
If you look at the case alone, it is quite unusual: dozens of people, organized actions, violence tools, hundreds of billions of dollars in assets, and a clear contrast between the nature of the final case and the punishment.
But even more remarkable is the fact that Blue Sea 300 did not appear in a person with no background; it occurred in the context of long-standing casinos, high-profit loans, violence, drug addiction and engineering reports around Wu Yun.
This has changed the core question of the case: why is such an organized-characterized major property case not the gateway to continuing to extend to Wu’s network of personnel, sources of funding, and existing criminal clues?
If a major violence case hasn’t prompted both reports to be re-connected, it has actually become a window to observe how the local political law system deals with Wu’s issue.
Really unusual is the long-term existence of “fragmentation”
The most notable thing about the Taiping Wu case is not the outcome of a particular case, but a pattern that is repeated for a long time: different types of reports are constantly appearing, but different clues are always in a state of separation.
Casinos are casinos, loans are loans, violence is a public security or criminal case, drugs are a case, engineering is an economic dispute, and asset acquisition goes into civil proceedings.
This division itself can produce an objective protection effect.It doesn’t require someone to publicly declare “protect Wu Yong,” it just doesn’t require any department to really put all the cases together.
This also explains why the "shadow" behind local evil forces is often the most difficult to investigate. True effective protection does not necessarily represent a clearly illegal decision, but may represent cases that never upgrade, clues never merge, funds never extend, engineering never penetrate, and personal relationships never form a complete organizational identity.
From this perspective, what Wu Yuen really needs to explain is not “why a particular case has not been done well”, but why the various cases that have accumulated over the years have not always formed a complete network of interests and power.
# Sun Yun’s death pushes the problem to a more serious level
Around the Taiping-related case system, reporting materials also involve Sun's death, and there have been serious accusations such as so-called "carnage firing" and "masking the truth".
The nature of this problem is completely different from the nature of casinos, high-interest loans and engineering disputes. Because when it comes to deaths, body processing, identity identification and information control, what is needed is not just social relationships, but may involve multiple public institutions.
If there is a fact-based basis in the report about the abnormal disposal after Sun’s death, then the real question is no longer whether a particular procedure is defective, but why a major death event can leave such serious identity and body handling questionable, but has long failed to form a sufficient public explanation to eliminate the controversy.
An average social worker has no ability to control hospital records, body processing, identity identification and case information. If major doubts eventually involve these links, it means that the issue has entered the public domain.
This is also where Sun Ying incidents are part of the entire Taiping investigation: it pushes Wu Ying-related issues from black economy and case intervention further to the possibility of local systems covering up major facts.
The first bite of the tongue exposure is the source of pressure
There were also reports of unusual events such as the bite of the tongue.
If such events are described merely as an isolated behavior, it is easy to lose news significance.The real importance is in what circumstances they occurred and where they were at the time.
If a person who has information on an important case behaves extreme during investigations, interrogations, or major pressures, this is itself a strong signal that there may be pressures and conflicts of interest that go far beyond the ordinary.
Knowing exactly what, what cases and persons he encountered, why such extreme reactions occurred, and whether there have been noticeable changes in the case since then, these questions all point to a deeper fact—the pressure inside Taiping’s case is not as simple as an ordinary local dispute.
The nature of the whole case changes as soon as the unusual events associated with Wu Yuan, local black evil interests and law power, and it is no longer just “does a black lord have an umbrella,” but whether the local power system has formed control over the key facts and responsibilities.
Chen Dengue, Chen Kim equals, is an important puzzle to understand the structure of Wu Yun network
In the long-term reports surrounding Wu Yun, the names of Chen Dzhou and Chen Kim equals have continued to appear.
The importance of these characters is not in the list itself, but in what interests they are in each other. If different people appear separately in gambling, drug-related, high-profit loans, engineering, social personnel organizations and political law relationships, and these characters are eventually connected through Wu Yun or common business interests, then the result is not accidental interaction, but a stable set of interests.
Local Dark Evil Networks usually don’t have a formal organizational architecture table. Someone is in charge of funding, someone controls entertainment venues, someone is in charge of social workers, someone enters engineering and companies, someone is in charge of handling disputes, and someone is able to approach power.
As these characters repeat over time, the so-called “bands” should no longer be understood as a street-like handshake, but rather as a complex structure that combines underground economic, business interest and political-law relationships.
This is also where the Wu Ying case really needs to be recognised: its risks are not just the degree of violence, but whether the black interests have been able to complete self-protection through business and power relationships.
Why Liu Xiaobo became a key person that could not be bypassed

Liu Huizhi, who has long served as the standing committee of the Tianjin Municipal Committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, is listed as an important "protective umbrella" clue behind Wu Yun.
Liu’s question of public significance is not about whether he has a private relationship with Wu, but about his position in power.
In the local political structure, the Municipal Committee of Government and Law Commission assumes the political leadership and coordination responsibilities of the work of the political law. Liu Liu served as the standing committee of the Taichung Municipal Committee and secretary of the Political Law Committee, and was at the core of the local political law system. At the same time, Wu Yun's relevant major cases, reporting and interest networks have long been involved in public security, courts, case-quality and compulsory measures.
When these two lines overlap, Liu He became no longer just a name to be, but a power node to be explained.
How Wu Jin related cases were handled during Liu's mastery of political law coordination, why different reports have not formed a comprehensive investigation for a long time, why major cases such as "Blue Sea 300" did not extend to more people and financial relationships, these issues are directly related to the way the Taiping political law system operated at the time.
Liu Liu was accused of providing shelter for Wu Yi. If this accusation was eventually proved or overturned, the key was not whether the two people were photographed, ate or had a personal relationship, but a more substantial question: Wu Yi's case's abnormal handling formed an explanatory correspondence with Liu Liu's power position at the time.
The question is why the king has not disappeared after taking over the army
After Liu Liu left the position of the Political and Legal Committee, Wang Jiang Wu subsequently served as secretary of the Standing Committee and the Political and Legal Committee of the Taiping Municipal Committee.
This leads to a more remarkable phenomenon related to Wu Yi: the main leaders of the political and legal system have changed, but the major reports surrounding Wu Yi have not been resolved openly and systematically.
This indicates that the problem may not exist only in a person’s term of office.
If the conclusions of the case formed during the previous term continue to be used, the original person and interests still exist, and no clues have been combined in the past are not reassembled, then cadres replacement will not automatically change the status of the case.
A person who has long been to be involved in black evil, engineering, drugs and major assets disputes, his old case has not re-formed the overall explanation in the new phase of political law leadership, reflecting not only the personal issues of cadres, but the institutional continuity of the local political law system.
For a truly mature local interest network, the most stable protection is not to rely on an official, but to make existing case conclusions themselves a layer of protection. As long as the old case is no longer open, the new leadership can also resume the original state without “touching the historical issue.”
Money is where all the clues eventually come together.
Casinos, high-interest loans, engineering, real estate, and massive asset competition appear to be different areas, but ultimately come together in the same core: money.
Without sustained funding, the dark web cannot feed people; without commercial interests, power protection is difficult to sustain for the long term.
Therefore, what is truly worth concerning in Wu’s report is not a certain amount of money separately, but whether there is a common economic basis between different activities. Whether casinos and high-profit loans provide funding for engineering investment, whether engineering and real estate undertake asset sedimentation functions, whether associated enterprises and individuals become the channel for the transfer of interests, and whether local power relations continue to get a return from these economic activities.
If these chains can be linked together, the “black gold network” is no longer a rhetoric, but a set of interest structures with an economic foundation.
This is why the real place the evil forces often don’t stay in the casinos and on the streets forever.Once the underground economy accumulates to a certain extent, it proactively seeks engineering, companies and real estate to legalize assets; and the larger the enterprise, the greater the reliance on administrative approval, judicial protection and local relations.
The combination of black and officials is often completed at this stage.
A new round of "parachute breaking net", really facing the political law system itself
The 2026 clearance document once again emphasizes "paraphrase-breaking networks", level-level handling and extraterrestrial police.
The reason for these measures being re-written into the document shows that there are natural limitations to local self-examination. When the reported subject has been intertwined with local public security, judicial, administrative and commercial relationships for a long time, it is difficult to avoid the conflict of responsibility when the original local system continues to interpret its past handling decisions.
This is also the most valuable place to observe the Taiping Wu case.
If a set of state machines can quickly detect online speech, consumer claims, labor disputes, and so-called “high-risk people,” but can’t provide a complete explanation for long-standing casinos, drugs, high-interest loans, engineering, massive assets, and policy protection reports, then the problem is obviously not insufficient investigative technology.
It is more likely to involve a systemic choice: when the target is ordinary people, the state has a strong capacity for action; when the investigation needs to continue to enter engineering interests, cadres relations, and political power, can the case still continue to extend upward in the same logic?
This is the really difficult part of the “paratrooping net”.
The real contrast between a document and an old case
The 2026 blackmail document will also strengthen financial monitoring, internet data, grassroots governance, early warning of key personnel and political responsibility.
But the stronger the ability, the more difficult it is to avoid responsibility.
If the casino, high-profit loans, drugs, violence, engineering, major assets, "Blue Sea 300", Sun's death and local political and legal relationships in Wu's related reports can coexist for a long time, but have always not formed a complete investigation, then this is exactly what needs to be explained is not whether the state can check, but why the past has not checked in the end.
It is also cautious that the new document emphasizes the deep digging of the "paraply" on the one hand, and on the other hand incorporates "public opinion blackmail", "malignant claims", early warning of key persons, grassroots political censorship and "strict defense of negative public opinion" into the same special system. This makes the new round of blackmail clearly dual: it can be both a tool to clean up the local black money network and may further expand the scope of control of the legal system over society and public opinion.
Which force will ultimately dominate does not depend only on the slogan in the central document, but on what cases it really touches.
Therefore, the case of Jiangsu Tianjin Wu has more meaning than a local old case.
If a new round of special struggle ultimately deals only with grass-roots casinos, violent debt settlements and ordinary people involved in black, but does not face Wu Yun-related major old cases, does not explain how Black Kim entered the engineering and assets, does not answer Sun Yun, Qingang and other major doubts, and does not ask Liu Liu and Wang Wang how the Taiping political law system exactly handled these long-term reports, then "paraphrase broken net" remains on the edge of the easiest to handle.
What can really be tested for this special struggle is not how many gangs have been beat, nor how many numbers have been published.
Instead, if the case continues to go up, into funds, engineering, cadres relations and local policy and law power, the investigation will continue.
This is precisely the question that has not been answered in the Taiping Wu case so far, and it is also a new round of "deepening black cleansing and evil elimination" in 2026.
