Five ranking officials in Northeast China's Heilongjiang Province were
removed from their posts on Sunday.
Four of them resigned and the other one was removed after a document was
issued earlier this month by the Heilongjiang Provincial People's Congress.
In the document, Zhang Qiuyang, former secretary-general of the Heilongjiang
Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, was dismissed from his
post.
The resignations were accepted by the Standing Committee of the Heilongjiang
People's Congress on Sunday.
The four people to have resigned are Fu Xiaoguang, vice-governor of the
province, Fan Guangju, vice-director of the Standing Committee of the 10th
Heilongjiang People's Congress, Xu Yandong, president of the High People's Court
of Heilongjiang Province and Xu Fa, procurator-general of the Heilongjiang
People's Procuratorate.
"To discharge so many high-level officials at the one time is unprecedented
in the province's history, and perhaps even rare in the whole country,"
commented an official from the Heilongjiang People's Congress, who declined to
be named.
In the meantime, two new vice-governors of the province, Li Zhanshu and Liu
Xueliang, were given their new posts on Sunday. Nan Ying and Jiang Wei, were
appointed to be the acting president of the Heilongjiang High People's Court and
the acting procurator-general of the Heilongjiang People's Procuratorate.
Among the removed officials, Fu was once the director of the Provincial
Communications Bureau and was in charge of forest industry and tourism after he
became vice-governor in 2003.
All the other four officials were once the mayor or Party secretary of cities
in Heilongjiang Province.
No reason has yet been given for such a large-scale removal from office.
"Although the Standing Committee of the People's Congress, the People's
Government, the High People's Court and the People's Procuratorate have
different areas of responsibilities, they have the same goal to serve the reform
and development of Heilongjiang Province," Provincial Party Secretary Song
Fatang told the conference.
