CHINA-LEADERSHIP: APPOINTMENTS
|
Unconfirmed rumours emanating from Beijing claim that at an 'informal' meeting of the PBSC in Beidaihe on July 223-24, 2015, it had been decided to appoint Wang Huning as Shanghai Party Secretary; to move Han Zheng from Shanghai to Beijing as director of the office of Deepening Reform Leading Small Group; and Xiao Gang as Deputy Party Secretary in Chongqing. (Comment: However, at least 5 PBSC members were seen elsewhere in China and abroad around the time of these reports and PB members were also not in Beidaihe.)
