According to a news published on the website of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security on the 12th, Zhang Gong was appointed Director of the State Administration for Market Regulation.

  This appointment and dismissal is also a follow-up to the previous provincial and ministerial personnel adjustments. The main leaders of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and the State Administration for Market Regulation have also completed the handover of the old and the new. Hu Heping, who took up the post of Minister of Culture and Tourism, replaced Luo Shugang as Party Secretary of the Culture and Tourism Department at the end of July. On the 11th, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism updated the Ministry’s leadership information on the official website. Hu Heping’s resume showed that he had assumed the post of deputy head of the Central Propaganda Department in July this year.

  Luo Shugang, who retired from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, was the first minister of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism after the reform of the party and state institutions in 2018. He was born in May 1955 and is 65 years old this year.

  Hu Heping was born in October 1962. In the evaluation of the media, he is a representative of "learning and excellence will lead to officialdom." In 1980, Hu Heping entered the Department of Water Conservancy Engineering of Tsinghua University, majoring in farmland water conservancy and water resources engineering, and stayed at Tsinghua University after graduation. After that, he worked at Tsinghua University for nearly 30 years.

He was transferred to Shaanxi more than a year later and served as Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Governor and Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. . After nearly 7 years in the local government, now "academic official" Hu Heping returned to Beijing to assume his new post.

  The post of Minister of Industry and Information Technology has also completed the replacement of the old and the new. The outgoing Miao Wei was born in 1955 and has served in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology for 12 years. This year, he turned 65.

  The successor Xiao Yaqing, like Miao Wei, was transferred from a central enterprise to the government system. In 2009, Xiao Yaqing was transferred from Aluminum Corporation of China to the Deputy Secretary-General of the State Council. Seven years later, in 2016, he was appointed Director of the SASAC. In May 2019, Xiao Yaqing took over Zhang Mao and took charge of the State Administration of Market Supervision. After 14 months of work at the State Administration of Market Supervision, he is now taking over again.

  The State Administration for Market Regulation is an agency directly under the State Council. It was officially listed after the institutional reform in 2018. Prior to this, Zhang Mao and Xiao Yaqing served as directors. Earlier this month, Zhang Gong, the vice chairman of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, has served as the party secretary of the State Administration for Market Regulation.

After 60, 65 and 70, the age echelon of provincial and ministerial cadres

  Looking at the personnel changes of provincial and ministerial officials this year, age echelon, professional level, and resume structure can all be used as observation perspectives for the characteristics of cadre selection and appointment.

  Among the personnel changes of the above-mentioned ministries and commissions, the new recruits Hu Heping, Xiao Yaqing, and Zhang Gong all have higher academic qualifications and professional technical backgrounds. Hu Heping is a doctor of engineering, and Xiao Yaqing and Zhang Gong are professor-level senior engineers. In terms of age, Xiao Yaqing was born in September 1959, and Hu Heping and Zhang Gong are officials born in the 60s.

  In recent years, especially since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, officials from the "60s" and even "65s" have taken up new posts at the ministerial level.

  Take the provincial party and government chiefs who took up the post this year as an example. Starting from the transfer of Ying Yong from Shanghai to Hubei in February this year, eight provincial party and government leaders have assumed their roles in six months, including Hubei Provincial Party Secretary Ying Yong. , Mayor of Shanghai Gong Zheng, Governor of Shandong Province Li Ganjie, Acting Governor of Fujian Province Wang Ning, Acting Governor of Liaoning Province Liu Ning, Secretary of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee Liu Guozhong, Acting Governor of Shaanxi Province Zhao Yide, Acting Governor of Qinghai Province Nominal star.

  Among the above-mentioned 8 people, 7 are "post-60s." Zhao Yide, who had just assumed the post of acting governor of Shaanxi Province, was born in February 1965. He is also the youngest provincial government leader in the country.

  In fact, in addition to "post-60s" and "post-65s" officials, in the past two years, more and more "post-70s" provincial and ministerial officials have also received public attention.

  According to media statistics, as of now, more than 20 "post-70s" cadres across the country have taken up new vice-provincial positions and have been ranked among provincial and ministerial officials. For example, Ren Wei, who became the vice chairman of the Tibet Autonomous Region Government in April this year, was born in May 1976 and is 44 years old this year.

  Ren Wei, who graduated from Tsinghua University, has a doctoral degree. He started working in July 2003. He used to work for Guodian Group and Datang Group. Before he became the vice chairman of the Tibet Autonomous Region government, he was the deputy general manager of China Datang Group Co., Ltd.

  Professor Zhu Lijia of the Central Party School (National School of Administration) analyzed to reporters from Chinanews.com that with the succession of the new and old cadres, cadres born between 1960 and 1965 will gradually become the mainstream of ministerial-level officials, and vice-ministerial officials. In the team, cadres born between 1965 and 1975 will also become the mainstream of new cadres in the coming years.

  "Whether it is a central department or a local party and government organization, the age structure of the leadership team is more reasonable, and it can form a mix of new and old and use the old to lead the growth of new cadres."

  According to Zhu Lijia’s analysis, these cadres born after the 1960s have gradually reached important decision-making positions. They received higher education after the reform and opening up. Most of them have higher education, more diverse knowledge structures, and broader vision and thinking. .

Expert officials transferred to the local leadership team to optimize the knowledge structure

  Compared with the personnel changes of the provincial party and government "top leaders," the adjustment of deputy provincial officials has been more intensive recently. Among them, some officials who have served in the central government for a long time were transferred to local posts, which enriched their local resumes, and the work they were in charge of at the local level was mostly related to their profession.

  On August 7, the reporter saw on the official website of the Guangdong Provincial Government that the newly appointed Vice Governor Wang Xi had a clear division of labor. He was responsible for education, science and technology, industry, letters and visits, and foreign experts. In charge of the Provincial Department of Education, Department of Science and Technology, Department of Industry and Information Technology, Academy of Sciences, and Academy of Social Sciences.

  On August 4, Wang Xi, an alternate member of the 19th Central Committee, was appointed as the vice governor of Guangdong. At the age of 54 this year, he has a high academic label. He is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a well-known expert in semiconductor materials.

  Before being transferred to Guangdong, Wang Xi worked for a long time at the Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. In May 2019, he served as the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology and concurrently as the Vice Chairman of the Chinese Association for Science and Technology.

  As a scientist, Wang Xi once said in an interview: “Being a scientist, especially a scientist in applied disciplines, must connect his research with the country’s strategic needs, have a big vision and do great things.”

  It is worth mentioning that, from a national perspective, "academician vice governors" have precedents in many provinces. For example, Lu Ke, deputy governor of Liaoning Province, and An Lijia, deputy governor of Jilin Province, are academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Ling Wen, deputy governor of Shandong, are academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

  In addition to Guangdong, recently, Jilin also came to a deputy governor who previously served in the central department. On July 30, Li Wei, who had been appointed by the state-owned assets for 17 years, was appointed as the deputy governor of Jilin Province. Li Wei is 50 years old this year. Before being transferred to Jilin, he was the director of the SASAC Enterprise Leaders Management Bureau (Board Work Bureau). This transfer is also the first time that Li Wei has served in the local party and government system.

  In the recent adjustments of provincial-level local officials, the Fujian Provincial Party Committee has a new face. Luo Dongchuan, who was previously the Vice President of the Supreme Court, was transferred to the Fujian Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. Zhao Long, who was previously the Deputy Minister of Natural Resources Served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee and Executive Vice Governor.

  Before being transferred to Fujian, Luo Dongchuan, born in October 1965, was the youngest vice president of the Supreme Court. Judging from his resume, Luo Dongchuan, who has a doctorate in law, has worked in the court system for a long time. He entered the Supreme Court work in December 2000. From 2015 to 2018, he moved to the disciplinary inspection system and served as the director of the case trial office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Member of the Standing Committee, Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee, and served as Vice President of the Supreme Court in August 2018.

  Zhao Long's resume is similar to Luo Dongchuan. Before Zhao Long, who majored in land management, went to Fujian to take up his post, he had worked in the land system for more than 30 years.

  In the opinion of experts, these adjustments are beneficial to the degree of specialization of local cadres and the resume structure of cadres during their growth.

  "For example, Wang Xi, a scientist, was transferred to the deputy governor of Guangdong, in charge of education, technology, industry, etc., I believe this will promote Guangdong's future high-end manufacturing center and technological innovation center."

  Zhu Lijia said that as reforms enter the deep water zone, the areas and extent of opening up to the outside world have further increased. On the one hand, the central policy must be implemented and on the other hand, local development must also be aligned with national strategies. This requires existing macro policies. Cadres who grasp the ability and have local practical exploration experience.

  "Allowing a group of expert and technical cadres who have long-term positions in the central government, with high professional quality and strong business capabilities, and urgently needed by the local government to serve in the local government, has both practical considerations and considerations for the promotion of reform measures and the training of cadres. Long-term significance." Zhu Lijia said. (Finish)
