Since the personnel layout of the 20th CPC National Congress is crucial to Xi Jinping, he has to take some extraordinary measures to adjust various departments and local officials in extraordinary times.
For the purpose of the personnel layout of the 20th CPC Congress, Xi Jinping has continued to adjust provincial and ministerial officials. The governor of Heilongjiang province, which has been vacant for nearly three months, was decided by the CPC Central Committee to be Hu Changsheng, former deputy secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Xiamen Municipal Party Committee. According to the analysis of the commentary, Hu Changsheng has taken up his new post four times in three years, which shows that Xi Jinping has taken extraordinary measures to carry out personnel layout in an extraordinary period.
The official media “Heilongjiang Daily” WeChat public news, said February 22, the Communist Party of Heilongjiang Province, the fifth meeting of the 13th People’s Congress decided to appoint Hu Changsheng as the governor of Heilongjiang Province. Previously, Hu Changsheng was deputy secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Xiamen Municipal Party Committee.
On January 29 this year, the Standing Committee of the Heilongjiang Provincial Committee held an enlarged meeting to announce the decision of the CPC Central Committee on the adjustment of the Heilongjiang Provincial Committee. On February 2, Hu Changsheng became the vice governor and acting governor of Heilongjiang.
According to public information, Hu Changsheng, born in December 1963, is a native of Gao’an, Jiangxi. He has served as secretary of the Xingying County Committee of Ya’an City, Sichuan, standing committee member of Ya’an Municipal Committee and minister of the Organization Department, standing committee member of Ya’an Municipal Committee, minister of the Organization Department and secretary of Hanyuan County Committee, deputy secretary, acting mayor and mayor of Suining City, deputy secretary of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture Committee and secretary of the Prefecture Committee.
In June 2015, Hu Changsheng became a member of the Standing Committee of the Qinghai Provincial Party Committee and Minister of the Organization Department, and was promoted to a deputy provincial official. in July 2017, Hu Changsheng again crossed the province to take up a new post and was transferred to the Standing Committee of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee and Minister of the Organization Department. in February 2019, he became a member of the Standing Committee of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Xiamen Municipal Party Committee.
In September 2020, Hu Changsheng’s position was adjusted to Deputy Secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Xiamen Municipal Party Committee.
“According to Ren Chongdao, a researcher at Tianjun Political Economy, since he became general secretary of the CPC Central Committee in 2012, Xi Jinping has joined forces with Wang Qishan to promote an “anti-corruption” campaign within the party, arresting many officials from Jiang Zemin’s and Zeng Qinghong’s factions. The arrests of Zhou Yongkang, Su Rong, Sun Zhengcai, Huang Xingguo, Zhou Benshun and others have led to a breakdown in the official hierarchy, leaving few officials that Xi can trust.
According to Ren, since the personnel layout of the 20th CPC National Congress is crucial to Xi Jinping, he had to take some extraordinary measures to adjust officials in various departments and localities during the extraordinary period. For example, the promotion of officials from such technical departments as the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Water Resources is a desperate move, but Xi Jinping considers these technical officials relatively more reliable compared to local officials.
For Xi Jinping, who has taken great pains to lay out his personnel, in addition to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Water Resources, which can be used as a “transit point” in the officialdom, the provincial-level local CPPCC chairmen also have their own “ways” to be used, and the provincial CPPCC chairmen, who used to be second-tier idle positions, can also be The chairman of the provincial CPPCC can also be used for multiple purposes. But whether it is a terminal or a transit station depends more on luck and Xi Jinping’s mood.
Sometimes Xi Jinping will also take quick or even rapid promotions to fill some vacancies, said Ren Zhongdao, a typical example being the aforementioned Hu Changsheng, who was promoted four times in three years.
