Recently, a major change in the official personnel of Shenzhen has attracted the attention of the public. A few days ago, the CPC Shenzhen Party Congress ended, resulting in a new Shenzhen Municipal Committee Standing Committee team. The outside world noticed that, compared with the previous list, in addition to the promoted and investigated people, six of the 13 members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Committee were removed.
On April 29, the Bureau of the 7th CPC Shenzhen Municipal Party Congress held its fourth and fifth meetings. on April 30, a new leadership team of Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee was formed, with Wang Weizhong as the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Qin Weizhong and Zheng Ke as the Deputy Secretaries of the Municipal Party Committee, and Wang Weizhong, Qin Weizhong, Zheng Ke, Ai Xuefeng, Liu Liansheng, Feng Ling, Huang Min, Yu Xinguo, Cheng Buyi, Nie Xinping, Wang Qiang, Zhang Yong and Yang Zhichun as the Standing Committee members of the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee.
The Standing Committee of the 6th CPC Shenzhen Municipal Committee is Ma Xingrui, Xu Qin, Li Huannan, Zhang Hu, Zhang Wen, Lin Jie, Wang Xingning, Zheng Ke, Yang Hong, Li Xiaogan, Guo Yonghang, Tian Fu and Li Jianhua. The secretary of the municipal party committee is Ma Xingrui; the deputy secretary is Xu Qin and Li Huainan.
It is worth noting that, compared with the previous list, in addition to Ma Xingrui, Xu Qin, Zhang Hu, Wang Xingning, Guo Yonghang promotion, and Li Huainan was investigated, the last Municipal Standing Committee only Zheng Ke left, the others were replaced.
Before that, Shenzhen’s “one government, one committee and two courts” were replaced at the same time, which also aroused public attention.
On April 24, the fiftieth meeting of the Standing Committee of the Shenzhen Municipal People’s Congress passed a series of personnel appointments and dismissals. On the same day, 18 officials above the department level changed their positions, including the mayor, vice mayor, director of the municipal supervisory committee, president of the intermediate court and president of the municipal procuratorate.
The 18 officials involved, of whom 10 took office and 8 stepped down. The outside world notes that most of these people have not reached retirement age, and many of them are the main person in charge of holding real power.
For this round of official “bloodshed” in Shenzhen, there are rumors disclosing that it is related to illegal speculation in Shenzhen, possibly related to the local government’s ineffective regulation of the property market.
Zou Tao, a financial commentator in Shenzhen and founder of China’s “No Home Buyers Alliance,” told Radio Free Asia overseas that the major personnel changes may be related to Shenzhen’s failure to effectively implement central government policies.
However, a commentary in Hong Kong’s Ming Pao newspaper suggests that the major shift in Shenzhen is related to the Communist Party’s five-yearly political change, which will take place next year at the 20th Communist Party Congress, whether Xi Jinping retires or stays. From this year onwards, local party committees and governments at all levels are also subject to a major bloodletting, and the holding of the Party Congress and the two sessions in Shenzhen is also part of this change of government and bloodletting.
