The Communist Party of China has tentatively decided on major personnel plans to be deliberated at the National People's Congress, which starts on March 5, and at the National People's Congress, it is expected that a person close to President Xi Jinping will be selected for an important government position.
According to the state-run Xinhua News Agency, the Chinese Communist Party held an important party meeting and a general meeting of the Central Committee for three days until the 28th, and decided on major personnel and institutional reform plans to be deliberated at the National People's Congress.
Although the specifics have not been clarified, it is expected that many ministers, including the prime minister, will be replaced at the National People's Congress, following the inauguration of the Xi Jinping leadership in its third term after last year's Communist Party Congress. .
The successor to Prime Minister Li Keqiang, who is attracting particular attention, is expected to be appointed by Li Qiang, the former top of the Shanghai Municipal Politburo Standing Committee, who ranked second in the party hierarchy.
In addition, there is a view that the new vice-president will be Deputy Prime Minister Han Chung, who served as the Politburo Standing Committee member until last year's Communist Party Congress.
On the other hand, regarding the organizational reform proposal, Hong Kong media reports that there is a possibility of restructuring the department responsible for maintaining public order under the jurisdiction of the government as an agency directly under the party.
The appointment of people close to President Xi Jinping to key government posts and the further strengthening of the Communist Party's authority are expected to further solidify President Xi's power base.
