(Beijing News) According to the Hong Kong media, Cai Qi, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China and secretary of the Central Secretariat, has taken over the CCP Cyber ​​Security and Informatization Committee.Analysts pointed out that this move reflects the trend of more authority in the past year, and the party will form a new power structure.

The Hong Kong South China Morning Post on Thursday (March 28) quoted three official sources in informedness that Chinese officials had handed over the leadership of the Central Cyber ​​Security and Information Committee to Cai Qi.

Beijing sources said that Cai Qi had taken over the committee in the first half of last year, but the official has not announced the appointment so far.This is the first time that Chinese officials have transferred their powers to other officials since 2012.

An anonymous political scholar at Tsinghua University said that Cai Qi's new character shows that he has received the "full trust" of China, because the CCP regards the fields of network security, network propaganda and digital economy as the party's "life and death problem".Essence
