CHINA-INTERNAL: LEADERSHIP
Shanxi governor Li Xiaopeng, the 55 year old son of former Premier Li Peng, will no longer directly handle the province’s anti-graft and audit agencies and state-owned enterprises. An enlarged conference of Shanxi province decided to change the leadership’s division of responsibilities on December 31, with Li’s former portfolio handed to Executive Vice Governor Gao Jianmin. Li Xiaopeng will still be in charge of the province’s overall management.
(Comment: Li Xiaopeng was promoted to Governor in January, 2013.)
