The division of labor among the Vice Premiers of Li Keqiang's Cabinet has changed drastically due to Liu Yandong

The division of labor among the Vice Premiers of Li Keqiang's Cabinet has undergone a big change because of Liu Yandong. According to sources in Beijing, the division of labor among the next Vice Premiers of the State Council Liu Yandong, Wang Yang and Ma Kai will be different from the current...

However, judging from the latest division of labor for the next Vice Premier of the State Council, the current Vice Premier Wang Qishan has not yet been replaced. The industries and departments he is responsible for and in charge of will be divided among several vice prime ministers and State Councilors. Among them, finance, commerce and market economy will be handed over to the newly created State Councilor.

In the 11th State Council, Premier Wen Jiabao presided over the overall work of the State Council, and Executive Vice Premier Li Keqiang was responsible for the executive work of the State Council; responsible for development and reform, finance and taxation, land and resources, environmental protection, housing and urban and rural construction, health, population and family planning, the Three Gorges Project, and the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. In charge of the National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Land and Resources, Ministry of Environmental Protection, Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, Ministry of Health and other departments.

Among the other three vice prime ministers, Hui Liangyu is in charge of rural areas, agricultural economy, water conservancy, forestry, civil affairs, etc., and is in charge of the National Ethnic Affairs Commission, Ministry of Civil Affairs, Ministry of Water Resources, Ministry of Agriculture, State Forestry Administration and other departments; Zhang Dejiang is in charge of industrial economy , transportation, state-owned assets, and production safety work, and is in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Transport and other departments; Wang Qishan is responsible for commerce, finance, market economy, tourism, and is in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, the People's Bank of China, the General Administration of Customs, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce and other departments.

In the next State Council, Premier Li Keqiang will preside over the overall work, and Executive Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli will be in charge of the executive work of the State Council and will take over Li Keqiang's division of labor; Vice Premier Liu Yandong, who is ranked second, should be Hui Liangyu's successor according to ranking, and will take over the responsibility for agriculture, forestry, water, However, sources in Beijing pointed out that it is precisely because Liu's business capabilities and work level are very limited that the division of labor among the four vice prime ministers and five state councilors of the next State Council has changed.

According to internal information obtained by "China Secret News", after the 18th National Congress, when arranging the division of labor for the next vice premier, because the second-ranked vice premier Liu Yandong was not familiar with other industries and departments, had no experience in managing major economic fields and departments, and lacked the corresponding work ability and level, he could only be allowed to continue to be in charge of the science, culture, education, sports and health departments that she was familiar with when she was the State Councilor. However, the adjustment of Liu Yandong's division of labor had an impact on the whole body, causing changes in the division of labor of Wang Yang, Ma Kai and several State Councilors.

In fact, Liu Yandong is still in charge of the work she is familiar with, which has been basically finalized after the 18th National Congress, allowing her to continue to serve as a State Councilor and "warm up" in advance for her appointment as Vice Premier of the State Council.

The above-mentioned official reports have given early clues to Liu Yandong’s specific division of labor in the next State Council. Sources in Beijing said that State Council staff know that Liu can only cope with the situation in the areas she is familiar with. If she were to focus on industry, agriculture or finance, it would be a rush.
