The 18th National Congress of the Communist Youth League of China (CYL) opened in Beijing yesterday. He Junke, who is expected to be the first secretary of the CYL Central Committee, vowed to promote the reform of the CYL and lead the work of the CYL with the idea of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era., comprehensively and strictly govern the regiment.
All seven members of the Standing Committee of the Politburo, including the Communist Party of China, were present to congratulate.Wang Huning, a member of the Politburo Standing Committee in charge of propaganda and ideological work, addressed the conference on behalf of the CPC Central Committee.
Wang Huning said that the Communist Youth League is a loyal assistant and a loyal reserve army of the CCP. The CCP fully trusts and places high hopes on the Communist Youth League.He asked the Communist Youth League to keep in mind the teachings and play the song of youth in the new era.
After the 1980s, a large number of cadres from the Communist Youth League system were reused. Former general secretaries of the Communist Party of China Hu Yaobang and Hu Jintao, current Premier Li Keqiang, Vice Premier Hu Chunhua, and Minister of Natural Resources Lu Hao all served as the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League.The Communist Youth League system has thus become the cradle of senior cadres and an important force in Chinese politics.
The ability of cadres from the Communist Youth League has been questioned in recent years
However, in recent years, leaders of the Communist Party of China have severely criticized the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League as paraplegics at high positions, divorced from the grassroots, and divorced from the youth.Some cadres from the Communist Youth League have also been questioned for their lack of experience at the grassroots level. The influence of the Communist Youth League in China's political arena has declined significantly.
In August 2016, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued a reform plan for the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, calling for the reform of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League from four aspects and twelve areas.
The China Youth Daily, a subsidiary of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, published an article yesterday saying that the Communist Youth League insisted on turning its blade inward and carried out a self-revolution from top to bottom.The personnel of the League organs are combined full-time, temporary and part-time, and the department setting is closer to the reality of youth work.self-awareness is significantly enhanced.
Analysts in Beijing pointed out that although the Communist Youth League has been criticized in recent years, its political position as the CCP’s reserve army has not changed. This position determines that the Communist Youth League will remain an important force in Chinese politics.After several years of setbacks and reforms, it is expected that the cadres of the Communist Youth League will be more pragmatic and low-key in the future, try to downplay the color of the regiment, and avoid giving people an excuse to form cliques.
He Junke emphasized in his report yesterday that the Communist Youth League must be sensitive to change, be good at adapting, and dare to seek change. With reform as the fundamental driving force, it must carry out profound changes in organizational structure, cadre team, management model, and working methods.
The 49-year-old He Junke was born in the military industry system. He used to work in China Aerospace Industry Corporation, Aerospace Machinery and Electronics Corporation, and Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation. In 2005, he was transferred to the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League.
The military industry is regarded as the cradle of new senior cadres
In recent years, China's military industry has developed rapidly, and a group of officials from the military industry have taken important leadership positions, such as Zhang Qingwei, Secretary of the Heilongjiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, Ma Xingrui, Governor of Guangdong Province, Zhang Guoqing, Mayor of Tianjin, and Yuan Jiajun, Governor of Zhejiang Province.It is regarded as the cradle of new senior cadres.
In September last year, it was officially announced that Qin Yizhi would be removed from the position of the first secretary of the Communist Youth League Central Committee. Since then, the position of the first secretary of the Communist Youth League Central Committee has been vacant.If He Junke is appointed as the first secretary of the League Central Committee, he will be among the ranks of ministerial officials.
