Chapter 059 National Adjustment

On October 26, 2007, Xinhua News Agency issued a brief message: Recently, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided: Comrade He Fumin will no longer concurrently serve as the head of the Organization Department of the Central Committee; Comrade Li Yuanzhuo concurrently served as the head of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, and no longer concurrently served as secretary, member of the Standing Committee, and member of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee; Comrade Xiao Chen served as secretary of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee.

This brief message attracted strong attention from the domestic and foreign media, and the next morning Lianhe Zaobao commented on it:

The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China announced yesterday that He Fumin, a member of the Politburo New Section Standing Committee, will no longer serve as head of the Central Organization Department; Li Yuanzhuo, a member of the new section of the Politburo, concurrently serves as the head of the Central Organization Department and no longer serves as the secretary of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee; Xiao Chen, governor of Jiangdong, was promoted to secretary of the provincial party committee.

Li Yuanzhuo, 57 years old this year, jumped two levels in a row from an alternate member of the CPC Central Committee to member of the Politburo, member of the Secretariat, and director of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, becoming one of the representative figures of the Hui faction in the new leadership of the CPC.

In the Politburo of the Communist Party of China, in addition to members of the Politburo Standing Committee, the head of the Central Organization Committee has a very prominent position in carrying out the specific work of inspecting and selecting high-ranking cadres. Analysts of the political situation in Beijing believe that Li Yuanzhuo's appointment to take charge of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee is not only conducive to the growth of cadres of the Hui faction, but also conducive to the implementation of the principle put forward by Gu Banglan, general secretary of the Communist Party of China, that we should pay attention to the selection of cadres from the grassroots level, and reduce the opportunities for those who "come and go" to enter the leadership level.

Although the dust has settled, the high-level personnel changes have not yet been completed, and the whereabouts of some Politburo members have not yet been clarified. These include: whether, or when, will Xu Anqiu become the deputy prime minister? Who will succeed Xue Yuanlan as secretary of the Dongfang Municipal Party Committee? Did Wang Fengming step down as mayor of Beijing? Have the Secretary of the Lingnan Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary of the Dongchuan Municipal Party Committee changed?

At present, there are rumors about the whereabouts of the Politburo members: Yu Zhengsheng is likely to be the secretary of the Dongfang City CPC Committee, Wang Fengming and Zhang Chonghe may replace Wu Yi and Jia Yangwen after the "two sessions (NPC and CPPCC National Committee)" next year (I can't find out what the name of this vice premier is, Khan) as vice premier, Hou Dongxiang may become secretary of the Dongchuan City CPC Committee, and Wang Haikuo may become the secretary of the Lingnan Provincial CPC Committee.

On the other hand, Xiao Chen's appointment as secretary of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee made him the second provincial party secretary to appear among the officials of the "Wucheng Department" after Wang Kun, secretary of the Xianglin Provincial Party Committee.

Xiao Chen, who is only 35 years old this year, graduated from the Department of Economics and Management of Huaxia University. He joined the party in April 1991 and began working in August 1992. He used to be the secretary of the Second Bureau of the Secretary of the Government Council and the deputy section chief at the deputy division level. In December 1993, he was appointed as the deputy secretary of the Dingqing District Committee of the Communist Party of China in Langliu City, Xiaonan Province, and in December 1994, he was appointed as the secretary of the Dingqing District Committee of the Communist Party of China. In January 1997, he was appointed as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Executive Vice Mayor of Langliu City, in December 1997, he was appointed as the acting mayor of Langliu City, and in March 1998, he was elected as the mayor of Langliu City. In January 2000, he was appointed as a member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China and Secretary of the Wucheng Municipal Party Committee. In March 2002, he was appointed as the Deputy Director of the National Development and Reform Commission (Vice Ministerial Level, enjoying the treatment of full minister). In April 2005, he was appointed Deputy Secretary of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission. In June 2006, he was appointed Acting Governor of Jiangdong Province, and in March 2007, he was appointed Governor of Jiangdong Province.

He is an alternate member of the 15th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, an alternate member and a member of the 16th Central Committee, and a member of the 17th Central Committee. He is a deputy to the 10th National People's Congress and a representative of the 11th National People's Congress.

We have noticed that in recent years, some Chinese officials who had participated in the construction of the Xinzhong Wucheng Industrial Park have been promoted one after another, and Wang Kun and Xiao Chen, who have served as secretaries of the Wucheng City Party Committee, have respectively served as secretaries of the Xianglin and Jiangdong provincial party committees. Among them, 53-year-old Wang Kun took the lead in becoming the secretary of the Xianglin Provincial Party Committee, and now Xiao Chen is in charge of Jiangdong, a major economic province, and the future of the "Wucheng Department" officials continues to be optimistic. It has been pointed out that Chen Wei, member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangdong Provincial CPC Committee and secretary of the Wucheng City CPC Committee, Zhao Jiemin, former mayor of Wucheng City, member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangdong City CPC Committee, and secretary of the Liangxi City CPC Committee, Wang Wenyuan, former mayor of Wucheng City, and Wang Wenyuan, secretary of the Pengcheng City CPC Committee, are all senior cadres trained by the CPC Central Committee. However, some analysts believe that they are likely to be transferred to other provinces and take charge of the government. This newspaper will continue to pay attention to this.

A relevant person in Beijing pointed out that the promotion of the "Wucheng system" officials is to a certain extent due to their participation in the management of the Wucheng Industrial Park and to the achievements made by the Wucheng Industrial Park over the past 13 years.

Wucheng Industrial Park is a joint project between Singapore and China, officially launched in May 1994, with an area of 288 square kilometers and a population of 250,000. Legal Daily recently reported that the Wucheng Industrial Park is most proud of not "creating 100 million yuan (RMB, about S$20.8 million) of GDP a day, handing over 12.6 million yuan of fiscal revenue a day, and bringing in 4 million US dollars of foreign investment a day", but that it has maintained clean water and air for 13 years.

According to the report, the greatest contribution of Wucheng Industrial Park is to show a clear, complete, fast and good scientific development path for all levels and types of development zones and even all parts of China. And a well-informed person pointed out that Xiao Chen, the youngest provincial and ministerial-level senior official, was particularly valued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China precisely because he was the first to put forward and improve a clear path for the scientific development of Wucheng. But at the same time, some relevant people said: In addition to Xiao Chen's outstanding political achievements and indisputable, his being the grandson of Xiao Fei, a veteran of the Communist Party of China and one of the "double cores" of the second generation of the leadership collective of the Communist Party of China, is also an important reason for his smooth sailing. At the same time, the source also pointed out that with Xiao Chen's huge age advantage in the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the huge connections left or about to be left to him by his grandfather and uncle, and his perfect political qualifications, he will be the most popular candidate for the next term of the sixth generation of the Communist Party of China......

Next, the show was staged repeatedly:

……

In fact, the major personnel adjustment after this ** was divided into two bō.

Generally speaking, the centralized adjustment of "senior officials in Xinjiang" such as the secretaries of provincial, regional, and municipal party committees can be called the appointment and dismissal of important personnel. After all, there are only 34 provinces (municipalities, autonomous regions, and special administrative regions) in the country, and Baodao Province has not yet sent a provincial party secretary, and Hong Kong and Macao only have special chief executives, so any change in the position of the secretaries of the municipal party committees of these 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities (once every five years, and to maintain relative stability) is an uncommon major event. The adjustment of the "number one" of a province, autonomous region and municipality is definitely not just a change in the position of secretary, but may bring a series of changes in the ideas, methods, and speed of local economic and social development, which is indeed expected and full of imagination.

First bō: ** to fill the vacancy in the original leadership position of the leading comrades elected to the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee. At the First Plenary Session of the 17th CPC Central Committee, four comrades, Xue Yuanlan, Xu Anqiu, He Fumin, and Zou Changjian, entered the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee. The original leadership positions of the four members of the Standing Committee of the New Central Committee were taken over by Yu Zhengsheng, Chen Mingren, Li Yuanzhuo, and Meng Cunshi respectively. At that time, only about a week later, the ensuing personnel adjustments were completed. This is the first bō. The characteristic of this personnel readjustment is that everyone can predict the move, because it is impossible for the Central Standing Committee to concurrently serve as the "number one" of the local party committee, but I don't know how the central committee will move this move.

Second bō: Preparing for the March 2008 National Assembly elections. At the end of November 2007, Wang Fengming left Beijing to take up a post at the central government, and Guo Songzu took over as mayor of Beijing. Comrade Wu Yao, executive vice president of the Central Party School, parachuted into Jiangxi to take over as secretary of the provincial party committee, and Comrade Wang Jinshan took over as secretary of the Ninghui provincial party committee.

Judging from the selection and appointment of personnel by the central authorities in the past decade or so, especially from the perspective of the two personnel adjustments since the beginning of the year, there are still certain laws and contexts to be found in the adjustment of the main leaders of provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities. This is the main thing. The second is the need for the re-election of the central authorities. Third, it is the replacement of old cadres with new ones, just like this time, after Comrade Wu Jia'an leaves office at the age of this time, he naturally needs to be replaced by others, and after Comrade Xiao Zheng takes the top, it will trigger a new round of adjustment, and sometimes there will even be a chain reaction; as soon as the central government moves, the relevant provinces will move, and then the principal leaders of one province will be transferred, which will affect the adjustment of leading cadres in several other provinces.

After the route is decided, the cadres are the decisive factor. On the one hand, it is to better accomplish the strategic tasks determined by the First Plenary Session of the 17th CPC Central Committee and even the Second Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee next year, and on the other hand, it is even necessary to focus on the long-term development of the cause of socialism after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Therefore, in the next few large-scale personnel adjustments, most of the new party and government "leaders" in various provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities are relatively young, and there are even "post-70s" provincial and ministerial-level senior officials like Xiao Chen, who are less than 40 years old, and Lu Yunlai, the mayor of Dongchuan City, are one east and one west, and the two complement each other.

According to the media's view, "the fact that these young leading cadres are in charge of various provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities has provided a huge space for imagination for the future development of various localities and even China." ”

On February 2, 2008, the provincial CPPCC meeting mentioned the annual "Symposium of Representatives of Members from All Walks of Life" to the afternoon of the opening day. Xiao Chen, Secretary of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee and Governor of Jiangdong Province, participated in the whole process, not only listened carefully to the speeches of the CPPCC members, but also talked about his understanding and thinking about "Happy Jiangdong" in a heart-to-heart manner.

At the symposium, "Happy Jiangdong" is undoubtedly the word that appears most frequently. When Xiao Chen spoke, his "opening remarks" made everyone present smile heartily. Xiao Chen said that after the first plenary session of the 10th Provincial Party Committee made it clear that "accelerating transformation and upgrading and building a happy Jiangdong" as the core of Jiangdong's "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", it is now a meeting in the province, a meeting in the city, and a meeting in the county to talk about happiness, leaders to talk about happiness, the masses to talk about happiness, the media to talk about happiness, and the whole Jiangdong is a voice of happiness! Xiao Chen believes that this shows that "accelerating transformation and upgrading, building a happy Jiangdong" does reflect public opinion and has formed a consensus in the whole society, which is gratifying.

Xiao Chen believes that accelerating transformation and upgrading and building a happy Jiangdong are a unity and cannot be separated. He then used the analogy of "cake" to illustrate the relationship between the two, without accelerating the transformation and upgrading, the cake will not be big and bad; But if you don't build a happy Jiangdong, your cake will not be divided well, or the environment for eating cake will not be good enough.

"GDP is a cake, and it is also about quality. For example, some buildings are demolished every ten years, and when they are built, they are GDP, when they are demolished, and when they are rebuilt, there are three GDP in social wealth. Of course, the quality of this cake is not high, and it does not taste good. ”

From another point of view, Xiao Chen continued to elaborate: "The same is to make cakes, in the past, the emphasis was only on making the cake bigger, and there was no consideration of making the cake well. Now talking about transformation and upgrading, it is necessary to make high-quality cakes at a small social cost, which may be a little slower, but the wealth has increased, and there is a material foundation for the development of a happy Jiangdong. ”

"If you mention the 'construction of a happy Jiangdong' only pay attention to the cake, but not how to transform and upgrade, then the 'Twelfth Five-Year Plan' cannot be realized, and the happy Jiangdong is a source of water and a tree without roots. Our work cannot just talk about how to be happy, if there are no conditions to support happiness, happiness becomes a picture of bread and hunger."

Xiao Chen went on to point out that happiness is a concept that includes rich connotations such as material life, cultural life, and spiritual life, and cannot be biased. "Nowadays, many people say that happiness is a subjective feeling, and I think that happiness is first and foremost the continuous improvement of material life, and poverty is not socialism. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to continuously improve and enhance the material life of the people; Second, we must keep improving their cultural life, so that the common people will not just eat a meal and be happy, they may also want to sing and dance, which is the cultural demand of the people, and only by constantly satisfying this need can it be considered happiness."

But happiness is not only that, Xiao Chen also mentioned "the satisfaction of social demands", that is, "people not only want to realize their own value, but also participate in society". "For example, the comrades here, you are all willing to participate in the CPPCC, this is because there are social demands and you want to do something for the society. In fact, it is not only CPPCC members who have political demands, but also ordinary people, and they must also engage in social exchanges and participate in society. ”

"The problem I want to say is that happiness has rich connotations, and it is easy to have problems if you overemphasize that happiness depends on material things, or overemphasize that happiness is a subjective feeling."

Xiao Chen further pointed out that accelerating transformation and upgrading and building a happy Jiangdong is a long-term work process that cannot be achieved overnight.

He said: "A very realistic example, two days ago I presided over the provincial government executive meeting, after the resolution, Jiangdong announced the adjustment of the minimum wage standard, in fact, this is also a specific measure of transformation and upgrading, on the one hand, it can reform the income distribution pattern, increase the income of workers, but also promote the use of a large number of labor force as their competitive advantage of enterprises, accelerate the upgrading and transformation!" Are there any successful examples? Yes, in the past, people were used in the knitting industry, but now the use of computer knitting has increased the added value of products, improved competitiveness, and increased sales revenue by more than 60%. Wucheng Industrial Park is also an example, without high-polluting enterprises, it can still create large output value. ”

Xiao Chen said that transformation and upgrading are beneficial, but to reduce the profits of enterprises, the boss may not be happy. In fact, such measures have long-term benefits for labor-intensive enterprises. If we don't announce the increase in wages now, some workers will not come back after the Chūn Festival, don't think that I, the secretary and the governor, will scare you, I estimate that other provinces like Lingnan and Dongfang will mention it this year, and then the workers will choose other places, which will not be good for our company.

Xiao Chen emphasized that the construction of a happy Jiangdong cannot be rushed for quick success. "In the past, the excessive pursuit of GDP and quick success caused an unhealthy growth pattern, and we must take caution from this, and if we now pursue too much to make the masses happy, I estimate that there will also be a 'happiness performance project', and there will also be a formalistic 'happiness'. I'll tell you that happiness clearly, it's better not to do it, don't toss the people! The happiness we want to engage in is the happiness that all the people of Jiangdong can truly feel, and the happiness in real life, not slogans, not slogans, not a few nonsense words when the leaders inspect! ”

Xiao Chen pointed out that our current leading cadres have a term of office, and some leaders are very good at "being a man", so he will first take money to make everyone happy, and do not pay attention to the long-term fundamental interests, so that everyone is happy for a while, but after the end of this term, there is a bunch of bills left behind and no one buys it, is this also happiness? This happiness is not sustainable. Therefore, it is necessary to think in the long term, and to pursue sustainable rather than short-term happiness. For example, if it weren't for the unanimous request of several municipal leaders to shut down high-polluting enterprises, would Wucheng still have such green waters and green mountains?

Xiao Chen also pointed out that there are places that we need to learn from the high welfare system in the West, but there are also places that need to be learned, because there are many high welfare systems that also cause overwhelmed and difficult to maintain the consequences, and as a result, the economic development of the whole people is weak, so we have to sum up the lessons and lessons to give everyone a sense of happiness according to the development stage, considering both the current and sustainable happiness.

In the end, he returned to the metaphor of making cakes, Xiao Chen said: "It is very important to make cakes, but it is also important to share cakes." You make a cake and you can't lose all of it, you have to give some of it to future generations, and some of it has to be sold to improve the environment for eating cakes in the future. Our generation eats cakes, maybe on the side of the road, but in the future, we will eat cakes in five-star hotels, so that the sense of happiness will become stronger and stronger. ”——

What's that, it's still to promote the new book, "Great Qin Wuzong", I am looking forward to your collection and recommendation, thank you!
