Mao Tse-tung ordered that mainland public security be placed under the direct leadership of the Communist party rather than local or national governments. The move, announced via the Canton Wen-Ko Tunghsin, aims to prevent Liu Shao-chi loyalists from seizing police and militia power, while stressing the army’s prestige must be safeguarded amid the cultural revolution. A note quotes Mao urging that public security be controlled by party committees to avoid enemy manipulation. Kiruna, Sweden, covers 5,458 square miles, the world’s largest municipal area.
