The Secretariat to Eliminate Counter-Revolution (Shangean: 肅清反革命书记处; Sùqīng Fǎngémìng Shūjìchù ) commonly known as the "Shujichu" (the fuhao romanisation of "Secretariat") is the intelligence agency of Shangea. It oversees domestic, foreign and military intelligence agencies. It is led by a Director who is appointed by the State Chairman and also a member of the armed forces, sitting on the State Presidium.
The Shujichu was created in 1937 during the Shangean Civil War as the Special Organisation to Eliminate Counter-Revolution (肅清反革命特別組織; sùqīng fǎngémìng tèbié zǔzhī) that answered to the executive committee of the Shangea Regeneration Society. In 1942, the Special Organisation was renamed the Secretariat and was made answerable to the State Presidium of Shangea. From the creation of the Auspicious Republic to the modern day the Shujichu was served as a secret police force, continuing to operate a large intelligence network within the country and Coius in general. In the 1980's some of its powers were gradually stripped back. Since Normalisation it has increased its role in Shangean society in monitoring dissent.
The Shujichu is responsible for collecting information, counterterrorism and covert operations in the interests and security of the Shangean state and people. It also oversees the Revolutionary Guard (革命卫队; gémìng wèiduì), a 200,000 strong gendarmerie force. The Shujichu has been accused of still operating as a secret police force, engaging in state terrorism and assassinating political figures abroad.
