A new reshuffle is reportedly to take place
in the
Chongqing leadership.
Zhang Guoqing, a member of
Chinese
Communist Party(
CCP) Central Committee,
will be named Chongqing's deputy party chief
and vice mayor.
He will succeed
Huang Qifan as Chongqing's mayor.
Analysts say that Huang Qifan was involved in
Bo Xilai's
evil doings, and that his career has come to an end.
Since the Bo Xilai and
Wang Lijun
scandals were exposed In
2012,
Chongqing leadership reshuffling has
become a sensitive issue.
Media have reported that
Ma Zhengqi,
Chongqing's deputy mayor,
will be appointed deputy chief of
Beijing Municipal
Administration of
Industry &
Commerce.
Zhang Guoqing, 49, will take over as Chongqing's
deputy
Party chief and vice mayor.
Zhang Guoqing graduated from
Tsinghua University,
with a major in quantitative economics.
Zhang was formerly an assistant to a chief representative
who has served in
Tehran and the
Middle East.
Later, he was promoted to vice president of
China North Industries Corp.
Zhang Guoqing is currently North Industries'
General Manager and deputy Party chief.
At the
18th CCP Congress, Zhang Guoqing was
selected as a
CCP Central Committee member.
Analysts believe that, after a warm-up, Zhang Guoqing
will finally take Chongqing's mayor's position due to his economic background.
In
November 2012, Huang Qifan was selected as
a CCP Central Committee member.
Yet, Huang's future career path is still controversial.
Political observer
Hua Po thinks it's only a matter of time
before Huang Qifan exits from power.
This is because Huang must have followed Bo Xilai
in evil doing, he says.
Hua Po: "He contributed to the removal of Bo Xilai.
So no matter what, he will certainly peacefully step down,
especially considering his age.
As for his career, I think Chongqing mayor
is his last stop."
Liu Yinquan,
Chair of US-based
China
Social Democratic Party, has commented.
Chongqing's new Party chief
Sun Zhengcai
is certainly eager to use some new faces.
Liu says that Huang Qifan was credited with
having helped in the purging of Bo Xilai.
Huang may thus be appointed in a nominal position
until he retires.
Liu Yinquan: "Huang Qifan had assisted Bo Xilai in
staging Bo's 'Chongqing mode' for years.
But why was Huang allowed to stay on at this post
at the
18th Party Congress?
I think it may be due to
Wu Bangguo's backing him.
Also,
Xi Jinping, after just taking office,
wants political stability, especially in Chongqing."
In
2001, Huang Qifan began his tenure as Chongqing
vice mayor. In 2009, Bo Xilai promoted Huang to mayor.
During Huang's 11-year tenure in Chongqing,
the city changed six
Party chiefs.
Huang was unofficially tagged a political "tumbler".
Huang Qifan once claimed that he worked with Bo Xilai,
as easily as a fish in water.
Reportedly, Chongqing locals related that
Bo Xilai had three talent advisers,
Xu Ming for stratagem,
Wang Li Jun for security,
and Huang Qifan for economy.
After Bo Xilai's removal in 2012, Huang Qifan openly
pledged his loyalty, "resolutely remaining faithful to the
Party Central Committee."
Huang was rumored to have exposed some evidence
of Bo's guilt, for the sake of self-protection.
At the
2013 CCP Two
Sessions,
Huang Qifan became talkative.
In an exclusive interview with
China's media,
the journalist had suggested that
Chongqing's investment in many construction projects
had exceeded local fiscal revenues.
Huang replied that Chongqing's land sale revenue alone
has gained thousands of billion yuan.
Hong Kong's media reported that Huang,
heading a delegation, arrived in Hong Kong on April 16.
The group's aim is to attract foreign investment.
Critic
Wang Beiji says that Bo Xilai committed
innumerable crimes in Chongqing.
During Bo's tenure, Huang was certainly
deeply involved in these evil acts.
Wang Beiji reveals that the land sale revenue,
worth thousands of billion yuan,
was actually acquired by seizing
land owned by a great many farmers.
These farmers, encouraged by the regime's deceitful policy,
had to make a living in cities from then onwards.
Wang Beiji: "How could Huang Qifan still keep his post
after Bo Xilai had been taken down?
This was because, at the time, he betrayed Bo Xilai,
turning him in to a bigger demon, the CCP.
He could safely follow a big evildoer for several years,
and finally, when his number was up,
he was able also to safely distance himself from
Bo's crimes, that's not an easy thing to do."
Wang Beiji says that the CCP dictatorship has made
all officials commit evil crimes for it.
These officials, for their own sake,
would even sacrifice others.
Yet, they have also become victims of the CCP's
autocratic political meat grinder, according to Wang.
