In addition to the above 3 people, the group has also added a number of new faces, such as:
It is worth mentioning that many members of the 2018 team have been transferred elsewhere.
For example, Gao Xiang, then deputy director of the Cyberspace Administration of the Cpc Central Committee, became vice president of the New Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in November 2018; Qiu Xiaoping, former vice minister of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, was elected vice chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce in 2019; Kuresi Maihesuti, former vice minister of the Ministry of Natural Resources, has assumed the post of head of the discipline inspection and supervision team of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in the Ministry of Ecology and Environment in 2020; and Zhuang Guotai has also served as the secretary of the party group and director of the China Meteorological Administration.
In addition, Li Jin, who served as a member of the group in 2018, was already investigated in July 2020. Today's news shows that Li Qun, vice minister of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, has become one of the members of the group.
Among the "new faces", there are also people who have recently taken up new positions.
For example, Niu Yibing, the current deputy director of the Central Cyberspace Administration, worked at the local level, and before he entered Beijing in December 2020, he was a member of the Standing Committee of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee and director of the Propaganda Department; Song Demin, the current vice minister of education, took up his current position this year, he was previously the director of the General Office of the Ministry of Education and director of the Inspection Office; and Song Yuanming, vice minister of emergency response, was previously deputy director of the State Mine Safety Supervision Bureau, and in January 2021, he was appointed as a member of the party committee and vice minister of the Ministry of Emergency Management.
