According to media reports, Hongwei, who came to his country from the International Police Headquarters in France, was detained in China in the year 2018. Later he was also expelled from the ruling Communist Party. Meng's wife had expressed apprehension about the kidnapping of her and her children. After this, France gave him political asylum. Meng, who was Minister of Public Security and Coast Guard in China from 2005 to 2017, was arrested under an anti-corruption campaign run by President Xi Chinfing. However, some critics see this campaign of Chinfing as an attempt to remove political opponents from the way.
