石泰峰 · Full chronicle and history

At a delicate political moment, State Council Vice Premier Zhang Guoqing traveled to Xining, Qinghai to inspect salt lake enterprises and talked extensively about disaster prevention and reduction, which was seen by the outside world as being marginalized.

The National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Party Group Inspection Work Leading Group held a meeting, with Shi Taifeng serving as the leader and Hu Chunhua as the deputy leader. Observers outside think this may be a pre‑emptive preparation for high‑level personnel arrangements.

Xinhua News Agency announced 'Xi Jinping's Thought on Party Building.' Head of the Organization Department Shi Taifeng chaired the meeting, and Deputy Secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection Liu Jianguo attended. Cai Qi only delivered a keynote speech and did not hold dominant control.

The Party media journal Qiushi published a signed article piecing together 19 old speeches to emphasize "breaking the four onlys," which has been pointed out as becoming a policy tool for purging mediocre officials and mediocrities.

Myanmar President Min Aung Hlaing arrived in Beijing on an invitation for a visit. Xi Jinping held talks with him, while Li Qiang and Zhao Leji met with him separately, indicating that foreign affairs activities are handled by other high-ranking officials for specific matters.

In March this year, after flying back to Beijing from a meeting in Vietnam, Public Security Minister Wang Xiaohong was directly taken away by Central Commission for Discipline Inspection Deputy Secretary Liu Jinguo to assist in an investigation, and has since faded from substantive power meetings.
