I also hope that after he retires, aside from spending more time with his family, he won’t be too polite to offer advice to our colleagues in the police force. If you think of something, just tell our Director General Huang or send a text or call me directly.

I was appointed by my superiors. I always do my best in any post I’m appointed to. Triads are often involved in drugs, fraud rackets, firearms and even the year end-elections. They are all interconnected. So one of our priorities will be cracking down on organized crime.
Huang said that as the national police chief, he would crack down on fraud rackets and drugs. Maintaining order in the elections and eradicating criminal gangs will also be his key missions, he said. He pledged to tackle the spread of disinformation, which can erode the fairness of elections.
