Analysis: How to qualitatively qualitative Li Shangfu and Qin Gang's mistakes are worthy of attention
The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress also eliminated Qin Gang's post on Tuesday.The meeting of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress in late July had been removed from his post. At that time, Qin Gang's post was retained, and Wang Yi, a member of the Politburo of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China and the director of the Central Foreign Affairs Working Committee of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China.
Zhang Zhizhong, Dean of the School of Humanities and Socials, Taiwan Kainan University, was analyzed during an interview with Lianhe Morning Post: "Beijing has been removed from the position of State Councilor of Li Shangfu and Qin Gang, which means that related investigations have reached a stage."
He said that from such a high seat, it shows that both of them have made serious mistakes. How will Beijing's wrong qualitative definition of the two is worthy of attention;It will not make the next step so soon.
Beijing Sunday (October 29) has held the Xiangshan Forum, and the Chinese Defense Minister generally gives a keynote speech on the forum.It was originally expected that the official will appoint the new defense chief before the appearance of the Xiangshan Forum.Liu Zhenli, a member of the CPC Central Military Commission and chief of staff of the Joint Staff of the Military Commission, is a popular candidate for the Defense Director.
China's official official on Tuesday also announced that Wang Zhigang's position of the Minister of Science and Technology of Wang Zhigang was appointed as the Minister of Science and Technology of Yinhe and Jun; exempt Liu Kun's Minister of Finance, and appointed Blue Buddha An as the Minister of Finance.However, the official did not appoint the new defense chief after Li Shangfu was removed from office.
Zhang Zhizhong believes that Beijing has such a long time brewing the candidates for new defense chiefs, but has not selected new defense chiefs, and China and the United States are seeking to gradually restore high -level contact in military affairs, but the position of the defense chief is suspended. "This is comparison.strangeness".
He judges that on the one hand, Beijing must play the role of global role, on the other hand, it must be tough enough for the United States. Regardless of the defense or foreign ministers, they must do these two tasks. Perhaps the senior executives are currently not enough to meet these conditions.Candidates, so they are particularly cautious in the appointment of the defense chief.
