 Historical Background
China's policing system has a rich historical
background dating back centuries. Traditionally,
ancient China employed local officials responsible
for maintaining order. During the imperial era, the
magistrate and constabulary system played a
crucial role in law enforcement.

In the 20th century, significant changes occurred,

especially after the establishment of the People's
Republic of China in 1949. The Chinese Communist
Party (CCP) implemented various reforms, and the
Ministry of Public Security was founded in 1949 to
oversee national law enforcement.
 People's Armed Police Force
The People's Armed Police Force (PAPF) in China is a MAIN
paramilitary force in china primarily responsible for internal
security and maintaining public order. It operates under the
dual leadership of both the Central Military Commission and
the State Council. The PAPF was officially established in 1982,
but its roots can be traced back to various paramilitary forces
that existed before its formal formation.

The PAPF's main duties include handling riots, counter-

terrorism operations, border defense, and responding to
emergencies. It is distinct from the regular military forces, such
as the People's Liberation Army (PLA), which focuses on
external defense. The PAPF is often deployed to handle
domestic issues, ensuring stability and safeguarding the
interests of the state.
