The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is using psychiatric drugs against internal officials who are being purged, according to a source within the communist system, highlighting the intense level of its internal power struggle.

On Feb. 21, Yuan Hongbing, a former law professor at Peking University and a renowned dissident living in exile in Australia, told The Epoch Times that three days earlier, a conscience-driven individual within the CCP system disclosed an internal, top-secret directive issued by the CCP’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in 2023.

The directive stated that any officials targeted by the purge, if involved in political issues—meaning those disloyal to CCP leader Xi Jinping, according to Yuan—will, after their cases are concluded, be injected with psychiatric drugs, effectively rendering them incapacitated.

According to the leaked information, the cases of former Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu and Wei Fenghe have been concluded. Along with former Air Force General Liu Yazhou, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2024, they are subjects of “psychiatric drug treatment,” Yuan said.

The source disclosed that the cases of several high-ranking officials, including Adm. Miao Hua, a member of the Central Military Commission and director of its political work department, as well as hundreds of other military generals, are still under investigation. The source believes that once their testimonies are fully clarified and the cases are concluded, they, too, will be subjected to the injections.

“In short, any official who shows political disloyalty to Xi Jinping may be injected with psychiatric drugs,” Yuan said.

He added that the CCP regime’s applying such methods to its own officials highlights the brutal internal power struggles within the system.

“You can see that the infighting within the CCP has reached an intense, boiling point.”
