They also pointed out that the new personnel changes showed two things that Xi and Hu share a mutual alliance, but are still different. On 18th December, the CCP announced a new round of personnel changes involving the five provinces of Guangdong, Inner Mongolia, Zhejiang, Shaanxi and Jilin. Hu Chunhua was appointed as Guangdong provincial party secretary, Wang Jun as Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region party secretary, Xia Baolong as Zhejiang provincial party secretary, and Zhao Zhengyong as Shaanxi provincial party secretary, and Wang Rulin as Jilin provincial party secretary. It was learnt that Hu Chunhua, Xia Baolong, Zhao Zhengyong and Wang Rulin all belong to the Tuan group. Hu Chunhua was even known as the 'Little Hu Jintao' in the political arena, and was said to be deeply in Hu's favor, and is regarded as the leadership core of the sixth generation. In addition, although Wang Jun is not a member of the Communist Youth League, he worked for many years in the Shanxi Province as the deputy of Yuan Chunqing who is in the Tuan Group, thus Wang can be counted as a half Tuan Group member. Upon learning that the Governor of Calif. was coming to visit, Chen Miner from the Zhejiang Province has served as governor of the Guizhou Province. Xi Jinping served as Secretary-General of the CCP, and his old forces were called Xi's Army. Foreign media say that the CCP series of personnel changes mark the commencement of ruling under Xi's forces. Political commentator Lin Zixu: members of the Tuan Group are the biggest winner this time. From it we can see the alliance between Hu Jintao and Xi Jinping, however, they are still different. Political commentator Lin Zixu said: Xi Jinping is different from Hu Jintao. Several years after Hu Jintao came to power, he was unable to really control the power. However, Xi Jinping, with a princeling origin, may have many advantages that Hu did not have. In earlier times, the Politics and Law Committee was referred to as the second power center, and became the root of disasters caused by Zhou Yongkang and Bo Xilai in civil world and within the CCP. Zhou Yongkang and Bo had opportunities to compete with Hu, making Hu again fall into the dilemma of blocking any decrees going out of Zhongnanhai. In February 2012, Wang Lijun and Bo Xilai's event destroyed the political career of Zhou Yongkang as the secretary of the Politics and Law Committee, which had been downgraded in the 18th National People's Congress (NPC), coupled with Hu's complete resignation, it is widely believed that Xi Jinping may be in a better situation than Hu. Political commentator Shi Da said: not like Hu Jintao, Xi Jinping was not interfered with greatly by 'the old forces'. Shi Da: In the 18th NPC, Hu Jintao resigned together with Jiang Zemin and Zeng Qinghong. This trick may have worked, making the era of the old forces' ruling come to an end. According to media reports in China, the CCP internal meeting introduced internal regulations, that is, all senior officials within the CCP could not interfere with politics after retirement, including the chairman of the CMC, with no exemptions on personnel in the retirement period. Asia Week of the Hong Kong had reported before that Wang Yang will serve as the vice premier of the State Council during the two sessions of 2013, being responsible for coordinating the next step of reform plans, and his role is very important. Lin Zixu said: Of the seven Standing Committee members, although Jiang's personnel is the majority, from the overall situation, Xi Jinping, Li Keqiang, Wang Qishan are ruling in high profile positions while the rest of Jiang's forces seem to have turned into a kind of decoration. Meanwhile, Little Hu Jintao- Hu Chunhua governed the big economic province, Guangdong, Wang Yang is also expected to enter the central committee to assist Xi Jinping, thus Xi Jinping should be in a sound situation soon. Lin Xixu foresees that Xi Jinping also won the initiatives in the personnel layout, and may have bigger actions in future. However, Shi Da believes that although Xi Jinping has the best time period, we should see if he has the wisdom. Shi Da said the Chinese should not hold too much hope in the CCP. 《神韵》2011世界巡演新亮点 http://www.ShenYunPerformingArts.org/
