Shi Xiaolin, member of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and head of the United Front Work Department, was also recently transferred to the Standing Committee of the Jiangxi Provincial Committee.It is reported that 49-year-old Shi Xiaolin is also one of the candidates for governor of Jiangxi Province.

Yesterday (11th) Li Bingjun, who was appointed as the deputy secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, is expected to be the governor of Jiangxi Province, ending the situation where Liu Qi's provincial Party committee secretary and governor are shoulder to shoulder.

Li Bingjun is 55 years old this year. He served as secretary of the State Council for 22 years, serving the then Vice Premier and Premier Zhu Rongji.After Zhu Rongji retired in 2003, Li Bingjun served as the director of Zhu Rongji's office and participated in the compilation and distribution of many books about Zhu Rongji.

At the same time, Shi Xiaolin, member of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and head of the United Front Work Department, was recently transferred to the Standing Committee of the Jiangxi Provincial Committee.It is reported that 49-year-old Shi Xiaolin is also one of the candidates for governor of Jiangxi Province.

After the two sessions (the National People's Congress and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference) in March this year, Jiangxi Governor Liu Qi, who was a former subordinate of the CCP General Secretary when he was in charge of Zhejiang, was promoted to the Secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee of the CCP and became the top leader of the province.According to the usual practice, Liu Qi will step down from the position of governor and work full-time as secretary of the provincial party committee and director of the standing committee of the provincial people's congress.However, the top officials have not yet appointed a new Jiangxi governor.

According to the analysis of relevant people in Beijing, it is generally a transitional arrangement for the party and government leaders in provincial administrative regions to be held by one person, and the time will not be very long.Jiangxi Province has not appointed a new governor so far. On the one hand, it shows that the high-level officials are very cautious about the appointment of the top party and government leaders at the provincial level.pick.

Since the provincial governor cannot serve as the director of the Provincial People's Congress, Liu Qi has not yet been able to take up the other position that most provincial party secretaries of the CCP should hold, that is, the director of the Provincial People's Congress.At present, the director of the Jiangxi Provincial People's Congress is still Lu Xinshe, the former secretary of the provincial party committee of the province, and Lu Xinshe was transferred to the party secretary of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in March this year.

Xinhua News Agency and other official media announced yesterday that the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has recently decided that Li Bingjun, a member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Ganzhou Municipal Party Committee, will serve as the Deputy Secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee.

Relevant sources pointed out that this appointment increased the possibility of Li Bingjun becoming the governor of Jiangxi.According to the usual practice, the governor must be appointed by the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.At present, the candidates for governor of Jiangxi mainly include Yao Zengke and Li Bingjun, deputy secretaries of the provincial party committee. Shi Xiaolin, who was recently transferred to Jiangxi from Shanghai, is only a member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangxi provincial party committee, and it is unlikely that she will become governor.

Although Yao Zengke, who came from the discipline inspection system, ranks higher than Li Bingjun in the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee leadership team, Yao Zengke just became the chairman of the Jiangxi Provincial Political Consultative Conference in January this year, and it is unlikely that he will be transferred to the governorship.

Li Bingjun worked as a secretary for a long time. After graduating from Shandong Institute of Chemical Technology in 1984, he entered the Ministry of Chemical Industry and served as the secretary of the Minister of Chemical Industry Gu Xiulian.In 1991, Li Bingjun was transferred to the General Office of the State Council. He successively served as the second secretary of the first group, the deputy leader of the first group, the first secretary and deputy head of the first group of the Secretary Bureau.In September 2009, Li Bingjun was promoted to deputy ministerial secretary as director of Zhu Rongji's office, and later served as deputy director of the General Office of the State Council.

In July 2013, Li Bingjun left the General Office of the State Council and became the vice governor of Jiangxi Province. In 2015, he became a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Ganzhou Municipal Party Committee.

According to Jiangxi media reports, the 16th Jiangxi Provincial Congress of the Communist Youth League was held yesterday, and Shi Xiaolin attended the meeting as a member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Jiangxi Provincial Committee.

Shi Xiaolin is currently the youngest alternate member of the CPC Central Committee and one of the provincial standing committee members.She has worked in Shanghai for a long time and served as secretary of the Shanghai Zhabei District Committee of the Communist Youth League.In 2013, Shi Xiaolin served as the director of the Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau, and in 2015 as the head of Putuo District in Shanghai.

In May 2017, Shi Xiaolin was promoted to a member of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and Minister of the United Front Work, and became a senior official at the deputy ministerial level.Analysts believe that as one of the few female alternate members of the Central Committee, Shi Xiaolin's political prospects are very bright.
