Li Xi, Li Hongzhong, Cai Qi and Li Qiang are expected to be promoted to Beijing
Li Xi, secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, has been in power for five years. At the Guangdong People’s Congress meeting in January this year, Li Xi was not elected as the director of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People’s Congress when he was in charge of Liaoning. The Hong Kong “Ming Pao” article quoted people familiar with the matter in Beijing as saying that this year’s two sessions will be the last time Li Xi will attend as a representative of Guangdong’s National People’s Congress. After the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is held at the end of the year, he will be transferred to Beijing.
Unlike Li Xi, Politburo member Chen Quanguo stepped down as Xinjiang secretary late last year. Earlier, a source in Beijing said that Chen Quanguo, who had been appointed “otherwise”, would serve as the deputy head of the Central Rural Work Leading Group of the Communist Party of China. The group leader is currently Politburo member and Vice Premier Hu Chunhua. So far the news has not been confirmed.
In the local two sessions that have ended, the secretaries of the four major municipalities have not changed their positions for the time being. In addition to Tianjin Secretary Li Hongzhong, Beijing Secretary Cai Qi, Shanghai Secretary Li Qiang, and Chongqing Secretary Chen Miner, all of them have had interactions with Xi Jinping; according to convention, they have been in office for 5 years, and new arrangements will appear.
According to rumors from sources in Beijing, Li Hongzhong, Cai Qi and Li Qiang are expected to “come to Beijing”. Li Hongzhong has been considered a “tumbler in officialdom” for many years. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he has spared no effort in supporting Xi Jinping as the core of the party’s central committee, and is expected to assign a new position. After Li Qiang, the top secretary of Xi Jinping’s reign in Zhejiang, entered Beijing, the post of Shanghai secretary is expected to be taken over by Chen Min’er, secretary of the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee. Sources said there were still differences of opinion within the party. As for Beijing Secretary Cai Qi, it is expected to be even better.
Li Zhanshu and Han Zheng to step down as Politburo Standing Committee members
Among the current 25 members of the Politburo, according to the unwritten “seven ups and eight downs” of the previous Politburo members (re-elected at the age of 67, retirement at the age of 68), the current chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress Li Zhanshuhe Han Zheng, executive vice-premier of the State Council, will step down at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
In addition, Xu Qiliang, Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, Wang Chen, Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, Vice Premier Liu He, Vice Premier Sun Chunlan, Yang Jiechi, Director of the Office of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission, Chen Xi, Minister of the Organization Department of the Central Committee, Yang Xiaodu, Deputy Director of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Deputy Director of the Central Military Commission Nine others, including Chairman Zhang Youxia and Secretary of the Central Political and Legal Committee Guo Shengkun, are also expected to retire. The Politburo will have 11 vacancies. It is expected that after the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, there will be more officials who have ties with Xi Jinping in local politics to enter the Politburo.
Another source reminded that because the Sino-US wrestling continues, Liu He is still relied on by the central government and may not retire after the 20th National Congress. In addition, Ding Xuexiang, director of the Central Office and head of the state president’s office, will take it to the next level, the source said.
