China: Xi's government doles out key Cabinet positions
China's new government on Sunday named key Cabinet ministers during the annual session of the rubber-stamp parliament, the National People's Congress.
After President Xi Jinping was given a new five-year term on Friday — becoming the most powerful Chinese politician since Mao Zedong — and Li Qiang was named as premier on Saturday, the Congress's final task was to announce the largest reshuffling of senior positions in a decade.
However, several ministries have seen their current leaders remain in place.
China reinstates finance minister, central bank governor
The two leaders opted for continuity in the core policymaking roles of central bank head and finance minister.
Yi Gang, 65, was approved by the National People's Congress to remain governor of the People's Bank of China and Liu Kun, 66, to stay on as finance minister.
The move came as a surprise, as the US-educated central bank chief Yi was expected to retire.
But strong US connections and close ties with the president's economic architect, Liu He, give Yi "a great bridge between Xi's economic imperatives and the need to outreach to the US business community during this challenging time," Wenti Sung, a political scientist at the Australian National University, told DW.
In other economy-related appointments, Wang Wentao will continue as commerce minister while Zheng Shanjie, governor and deputy party secretary of Zhejiang province, will take over as head of the National Development and Reform Commission, the powerful state planner.
