Owning one or more fake ID cards has long been a “must-have” for many high-ranking Communist Party officials and it is easier for them to forge and obtain ID cards in and from the Public Security Bureau through the Party’s privileges. Some of them have used fake ID cards to transfer bribery money, while others used them for escaping from China to avoid being investigated by the regime.
On Jan. 17, Wang Fuyu, a ministerial-level Communist Party official, was sentenced to death on bribery charges, suspended for two years, had all of his personal property confiscated, and was fined 1 million yuan ($160,000), according to official media.
