China appoints key personnel after 19th Congress

The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has just appointed leadership positions in a number of important agencies as well as in major cities of the country.

Previously, at the first meeting of the 19th Central Committee on October 25, Mr. Zhao Leji, member of the Politburo Standing Committee, was appointed Secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (China), replacing Mr. Wang Qishan.

Guo Shengkun, member of the Politburo, Secretary of the Secretariat, and former Minister of Public Security of China, was appointed Secretary of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission. This is the agency that directs and manages at the macro level the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of State Security - the main forces that maintain political and social stability in the world's most populous country of the Communist Party of China.

The person replacing Mr. Guo Shengkun as Minister of Public Security will most likely be Mr. Zhao Kezhi, former Secretary of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee, who was recently appointed Secretary of the Party Committee of the Chinese Ministry of Public Security.
