Hu Haifeng himself in recent years in Jiaxing and Lishui, Zhejiang Province, during his tenure, have continued to follow the “instructions” of Xi Jinping‘s loyalty moves.

As a result of frequent personnel adjustments before the 20th CPC National Congress, Hu Haifeng, the son of former CPC leader Hu Jintao, is once again rumored to be moving “west” to become secretary of the Changsha Municipal Party Committee in Hunan Province, as well as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and a vice minister. But previously, whether south or north, in the past two years, its rumors have been “crushed” one by one.

The latest rumor is Hu Haifeng’s “westward movement,” according to a Jan. 29 report by Dovetail.com, which is known as an overseas party media outlet. In the midst of frequent personnel changes at local “two sessions” across China, there are rumors that Hu Haifeng, currently secretary of the Lishui Municipal Party Committee in Zhejiang Province, will make his first trip across the province to become secretary of the Changsha Municipal Party Committee, the capital of Hunan Province, as well as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, making him one of about 50 “post-70” officials nationwide.

On September 30, 2016, Reuters reported that Xi Jinping might promote Hu Haifeng, son of former Communist Party leader Hu Jintao, to the position of mayor of Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, making him a vice-provincial official. But Hu Haifeng was eventually transferred to the more remote Lishui in 2018 to become secretary of the municipal party committee.

Hu Haifeng’s second rumored promotion came around the two sessions in March 2019, when he was first rumored to serve in Fujian and later said to be secretary of the Xi’an Municipal Committee and a member of the Shaanxi Provincial Standing Committee. However, on Sept. 3, the Communist Party officially announced that Wang Hao had become a member and member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Shaanxi Provincial Committee and secretary of the Xi’an Municipal Committee. Rumors of Hu Haifeng’s presidency of Xi’an came to naught.

After Dalian Mayor Tan Chengxu moved on to become chairman and party secretary of Anshan Iron and Steel Group in October 2019, it was rumored by the end of that month that Hu Haifeng would be promoted to be the mayor of Dalian at the vice-provincial level. However, by March 23, 2020, Dalian’s mayor was succeeded by Chen Shaowang, secretary of the Heping District Party Committee of Tianjin.
