Minister of Public Security Wang Xiaohong conducted research trips in Xiong'an, Baoding, and Shijiazhuang, Hebei. The official report did not mention Hebei Provincial Party Secretary Ni Yuefeng, which is seen as a political signal aimed at deterring Hebei officials.
Xinhua News Agency released a bulletin of fewer than 60 characters, announcing that the CCP Central Committee has decided that Luo Wen will serve as Secretary of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee, that Ni Yuefeng will no longer hold the post, and that he will be assigned other duties.
