  • The People's Security Secretariat (Chinese: ㄖㄣㄇㄧㄣ ㄢㄑㄩㄢ ㄕㄨㄐㄧㄔㄨ; Rénmín ānquán shūjìchù) commonly known as the "Shūjìchù" (the pinyin romanisation of "Secretariat") was the official state security and intelligence agency of Manchuria from 1947 to 1990. During the existence of the Manchu People's Republic from 1947 to 1989 it served as the state secret police. It also operated the concentration and labour camp system during the communist period. The Shūjìchù handled one of the largest intelligence networks of any communist state, possessing 50,000 employees at its peak as well as maintaining an extensive series of informants. However, it's reputation never reached the heights of the Soviet KGB or the East German Stasi, with the Shūjìchù often relying more on the institutionalised apparatus of terror over gathering genuine intelligence, and was seen as being corrupt. Manchurian defector Hua Jieshi commented that the Shūjìchù was more an organisation of "violent thugs then intelligence officers". The Shūjìchù was at their most powerful between its creation in 1946 to 1953 where it conducted the Manchurian Red Terror. It continued to exercise considerable authority until the early 1970's when their powers began to be reigned in. By the time of the Orchid Revolution the Shūjìchù had lost the majority of its influence within the Communist Party of Manchuria, and following the end of the Manchu People's Republic the Shūjìchù became completely subordinated to the government, no longer functioning as a secret police force. In August 1990 the Shūjìchù was replaced by the National Security Secretariat.
