Xinhua Insight: China's new leadership to surface

2013-03-01 08:30 Xinhua     Web Editor: Mo Hong'e comment

In March, a new generation of leaders for China's state organs and top political advisory body will come into power.

The reshuffle will be completed at the first annual session of the 12th National People's Congress (NPC), which is scheduled to begin on March 5, and the first annual session of the 12th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), which will commence on March 3.

The meetings mark another major political event following the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in November 2012.

According to a suggested agenda approved last December by the 11th NPC Standing Committee, the first annual session of the 12th NPC will elect a chairperson, vice chairpersons, secretary-general and members for the 12th NPC Standing Committee, as well as the country's president and vice president.

It will also decide the premier and vice premiers of the State Council, or China's cabinet, as well as state councilors, ministers for government departments, ministers in charge of commissions of the State Council, the governor of the People's Bank of China and an auditor-general, as well as the State Council's secretary-general.

In addition, the session will determine the chairperson, vice chairpersons and members of the Central Military Commission of the People's Republic of China (PRC), as well as the heads of the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate.

The first annual session of the 12th CPPCC National Committee is set to elect the CPPCC National Committee's new leadership.

Observers believe that the power transition promises forceful leadership, as well as organizational and personnel guarantees for China's development over the next five years.

It will further push forward the implementation of major policies and principles proposed during the 18th CPC National Congress.

Based on relevant provisions, the NPC presidium nominates candidates for the chairperson, vice chairpersons, secretary-general and members of the NPC Standing Committee, as well as the state president and vice president, chairperson of the PRC Central Military Commission and the heads of the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate.
