The Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China announced yesterday (25th) that Hu Haifeng, the son of former President Hu Jintao and current Jiaxing Mayor, will be promoted to the prefecture-level municipal party secretary.This move is tantamount to indicating that Hu Haifeng will be promoted. It is expected that he will be the secretary of the Jiaxing Municipal Party Committee of the Communist Party of China and officially become the top leader of the local government.
Zhejiang Online, a subsidiary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, disclosed yesterday that 46-year-old Hu Haifeng intends to be the secretary of the party committee of a district-level city (prefecture-level city), but it is not clear that it is Jiaxing City, a prefecture-level city.
The Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee stated that the job transfer announcement was open to the public before July 2 to solicit opinions.
Sing Tao Daily reported today (26th) that Hu Haifeng's official career has always attracted attention as the second generation of red.He has successively served as the dean of Zhejiang Tsinghua Yangtze River Delta Research Institute, secretary of the Jiaxing Municipal Law Committee, and deputy mayor of Jiaxing; he was the mayor of Jiaxing in March 2016, but his actions were extremely low-key.
In January this year, he was elected as a deputy to the National People's Congress for the first time, and represented Zhejiang in the two sessions of the country, which attracted media attention.
United Daily News quoted sources on the 20th of this month, saying that Hu Haifeng is expected to be promoted to the Jiaxing Municipal Party Committee Secretary in the near future.Under Hu Haifeng's administration for more than two years, Jiaxing's economic growth rate reached 7.8 percent last year, the highest in nearly four years.
Last year, Jiaxing's per capita GDP was nearly US$14,000 (S$19,100), which was also much higher than the average level in mainland China.
