According to the official website of the International Liaison Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Liu Jianchao has served as the Minister of the International Liaison Department of the Central Committee, engaged in political party diplomacy, and was promoted to the ministerial level. His predecessor, Song Tao, a member of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, was over 67 years old and stepped down in May.
According to public information, 58-year-old Liu Jianchao has been working in the diplomatic field for a long time. Since 2006, Liu Jianchao has served as Director of the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador to the Philippines, and Ambassador to Indonesia; in November 2013, he was appointed as Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs and Party Committee Member. In August 2015, he was transferred to Deputy Director of the National Bureau of Corruption Prevention and Director of the International Cooperation Bureau of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. In April 2017, he served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Disciplinary Committee. In March 2018, Liu Jianchao returned to Beijing to serve as Deputy Director of the Office of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission and became Yang Jiechi’s deputy. In May of the same year, he was appointed Deputy Director of the Office of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission and Secretary of the Party Committee.
Liu Jianchao was previously seen as one of the favorites to be China’s next foreign minister.
Wang Yi replaces Yang Jiechi?
Hong Kong media “Sing Tao Daily” published an analysis article on June 3, saying that on the eve of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the personnel of the diplomatic system has been adjusted. The post of foreign minister.
The article analyzes that Song Tao has retired, and it seems that Wang Yi, State Councilor and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China, has no competition. Wang Yi, who was born in October 1953, was 69 years old at the 20th National Congress and should retire. However, the international situation facing the CCP is turbulent, and it may still require Wang Yi to stay in office.
The article said that from the scene two days ago when Xi Jinping accepted Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor into Beijing to report on his duties, certain signals can be observed.
According to the Chinese Communist Party’s official media, the central officials accompanying Xi Jinping included Han Zheng, Ding Xuexiang, Guo Shengkun, You Quan, Wang Yi, Xia Baolong and other six people. Among the 6 people, only Wang Yi attended this occasion for the second time. Although Wang Yi is a member of the CPC Central Committee’s Leading Group for Hong Kong and Macau Affairs, Yang Jiechi has been the one who accompanied Xi Jinping to accept the role of the Hong Kong and Macau chief executives in Beijing to report their duties.
The article makes a “bold speculation” that, for the consideration of the steady progress of the change of old and new, after the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Beijing will establish the identity of Wang Yi as the head of the highest diplomatic system to replace the role of Yang Jiechi.
Hong Kong’s “Ming Pao” commented in an article last year that Yang Jiechi, who was born in 1950, will retire at the 20th National Congress if there is no accident, while Wang Yi, who is three years younger than him, can advance or retreat. However, the entry of the Director of the Foreign Affairs Office is a new case of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and it remains to be seen whether it is specially designed for Yang Jiechi or a practice.
Wang Yi’s successor leads speculation
Recently, it was widely reported on overseas Chinese websites that Le Yucheng, an alternate member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, was transferred to be the deputy director of the State Administration of Radio and Television, who was originally a popular candidate for the next foreign minister. On May 26, “South China Morning Post” and “Sing Tao Daily” successively quoted sources to break the news that Le Yucheng, the current Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, was about to be transferred to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television as Deputy Director.
On May 28, the Central News Agency reported that Le Yucheng was ranked second to Nie Chenxi, director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and above the other three deputy directors. These have confirmed that he is the first deputy director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. However, that night, the official website of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television deleted Le Yucheng’s name for unknown reasons.
In recent years, the CCP’s diplomatic system has engaged in “wolf warrior diplomacy” under the instruction of “dare to fight” at the highest level, and suffered heavy setbacks one after another. Yang Jiechi, Wang Yi, and Foreign Ministry spokesmen Hua Chunying and Zhao Lijian are all diplomatic representatives of the “Wolf Warrior” faction.
He Chenghui, deputy secretary-general of the Taiwan Security Association, said in an interview with The Epoch Times on April 17 that the legitimacy of the Communist Party’s rule had experienced a crisis of confidence, and it was only by constantly manipulating nationalism to make up for it. The wolf’s diplomatic remarks only further underscore the CCP’s inability to meet the challenges of the international situation.
