Meanwhile, senior Chinese officials have taken to enforcing political discipline within the Chinese Communist Party. Last June, Zhang Yingwei, Head of the CCP’s discipline inspection office at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), said that the institution – China’s most prestigious government-run think tank – had been “infiltrated by foreign forces” and “was conducting illegal collusion at politically sensitive times.”
与此同时，中国高级官员开始在中共内部执行政治纪律。去年6月，中纪委驻中国社科院纪检组组长张英伟说，社科院——中国最著名的官办智库——“接受境外势力点对点的渗透”，以及“每逢敏感时期，进行不法的勾连活动”。
