[New Tang Dynasty News from August 2, 2021, Beijing time]The latest information on the official website of the Ministry of Education of the Communist Party of China shows that Huai Jinpeng, who has an aerospace background, has served as the Secretary of the Party Leadership Group of the Ministry of Education and is expected to succeed Chen Baosheng, Minister of Education in the next step. In recent years, many officials in the CCP’s aerospace and military industry system have been reused by Xi Jinping, and these people are known as Xi Jinping’s fourth political force.
On August 2, the personnel column of the Ministry of Education of the Communist Party of China was updated. Huai Jinpeng, who previously served as Secretary of the Party Leadership Group, Executive Vice Chairman, and First Secretary of the Secretariat of the China Association for Science and Technology, has been appointed Secretary of the Party Leadership Group of the Ministry of Education of the Communist Party of China in July 2021. It is expected that he will formally serve as the Minister of Education at the NPC Standing Committee meeting on the 20th of this month.
Chen Baosheng, the current Minister of Education, reached the ministerial retirement age of 65 in May this year. He graduated from the Department of Economics of Peking University and worked in his hometown of Gansu for a long time. He entered Beijing as the vice president of the Central Party School as the secretary of the Lanzhou Municipal Party Committee, and later as the Party Secretary of the National School of Administration. In 2016, he served as the Minister of Education.
According to public information, Huai Jinpeng was born in 1962, a native of Jinan, Shandong, and was elected an academician of the Academy of Sciences in 2009. Since 2015, he has served as Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Deputy Secretary of the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee, Secretary of the Party Group of the China Association for Science and Technology, Vice Chairman of the Standing Vice Chairman Committee of the Ninth and Tenth National Committee of the China Association for Science and Technology, and the first secretary of the Secretariat.
Huai Jinpeng has an aerospace background. He has served as a teacher, deputy director, director, deputy secretary of the party committee, vice president, and executive vice president of the Computer Department of Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. In May 2009, Huai Jinpeng served as Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and President of Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and was promoted to the rank of Deputy Minister.
The personnel changes of the Ministry of Education of the Communist Party of China coincided with the Beijing authorities’ rectification of educational chaos. Since the beginning of this year, Xi Jinping has denounced the chaos of off-campus training at least three times. He pointed out that off-campus training is a “stubborn disease”. It is strictly forbidden to capitalize operations at will, and the industry of conscience cannot be turned into a profit-seeking industry. As a result, the Ministry of Education established the “Out-of-school Education and Training Supervision Department”, and the Chinese Communist Party also introduced a series of measures to supervise out-of-school training.
The Ministry of Education issued a document last week to further clarify the scope of subjects and non-subjects for off-campus training during the compulsory education stage. Students of physics and chemistry other than language, mathematics, etc. are included in subject management, and sports, art and comprehensive practice activities are managed in accordance with non-subjects.
At the same time, from July this year to March next year, a nine-month period of paid supplementary lessons and illegal receipt of gifts and cash will be carried out for primary and secondary schools and teachers across the country to do special rectification work.
The admission of Huai Jinpeng to the Ministry of Education, with a background in aerospace, embodies Xi Jinping’s thinking on employment. Hong Kong’s “Oriental Daily” has commented that in recent years, officials in the aerospace and military industry have become the fourth political force during Xi Jinping’s administration, and many of them are among provincial and ministerial officials.
For example, Yuan Jiajun, the current secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and director of the Provincial People’s Congress, was the commander-in-chief of the manned spacecraft system and the deputy general manager of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.
Local high-ranking officials also from the space system include Ma Xingrui, deputy secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and Governor; Xu Dazhe, secretary of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee and director of the Provincial People’s Congress; Zhang Qingwei, secretary of the Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee and director of the Provincial People’s Congress; and Secretary of the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee and Director of the Provincial People’s Congress. Party Secretary Zhang Guoqing and others are all born in the aerospace military industry system.
