On August 7, Tianjin Party Secretary Chen Min'er went to community elderly care homes and hospitals for an on-site inspection, appearing two days earlier than other Politburo members.
In April 2017, the first plenary session of the 12th CCP Guizhou Provincial Committee elected Chen Min'er to continue as provincial Party secretary, and Shen Yiqin as deputy provincial Party secretary, who also concurrently served as president of the provincial Party school.
Chen Miner has succeeded as Secretary of the Guizhou Provincial Party Committee, while Shen Yiqin had previously entered the core of the Guizhou Provincial Party Committee and taken control of the political and legal affairs and stability maintenance systems.
A video circulating online claims that the Guizhou provincial government has established a leading group for government debt management, with Chen Min'er as head and Chen Yiqin as executive deputy head, requiring control over the scale of debt and prevention of blind project launches. This claim originated from a video, and no public document can be found.
