A rising Chinese politician sanctioned by western countries for contended mortal rights violations in Xinjiang has been appointed as the Communist Party of China (CPC) chief of Tibet, Chinese sanctioned media reported on Tuesday Wang Junzheng, 58, was the deputy clerk of the CPC commission of Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (XUAR) and political commissar of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps.
Wang’s appointment for the Tibet part will come under the focus of global rights groups and will be nearly tracked by New Delhi in the background of the ongoing border pressure along the Line of Factual Control ( LAC) in eastern Ladakh The status of current Communist Party clerk of the Tibet Autonomous Region ( Navigator), 65- time-old Wu Yingjie, who had assumed office in 2016, wasn’t incontinently clear though it’s likely that he has retired.
Before this time, the US storeroom department had sanctioned Wang, and Chen Mingguo, director of the Xinjiang Public Security Bureau, for contended mortal rights abuses against the Muslim Uighur community The two were targeted for their part in Xinjiang under the US Global Magnitsky Human Rights Responsibility Act, it said, adding that the move rounded conduct taken by the EU, Britain and Canada.
“ The United States is committed to using the full breadth of its fiscal powers to promote responsibility for the serious mortal rights abuses being in Xinjiang,” the US storeroom department had said Replying to the warrants, Wang had told Chinese sanctioned media that the move was grounded on “ falsehoods and false information; are a gross libel and an poke to the character and quality of the Chinese people; a obvious hindrance in China’s internal affairs; and a grave violation of China’s sovereignty and security interests”.
Wang’s appointment for the Tibet part was blazoned by Zeng Yichun,vice-minister of the organisation department of the CPC’s Central Committee on Tuesday at a meeting of the leading party configurations of Navigator in Lhasa Zeng said the decision was made after thorough consideration and careful study in light of the “ overall situation and factual situation of the leadership of the region For the Tibet Autonomous Region’s new party chief, Wang, the creation is a critical bone.
In 2019, Wang, former party chief of Changchun megacity, had taken over as the head of the political and legal affairs commission-the top political body responsible for law and order in the region-in XUAR; and in 2020, he was again promoted as deputy CPC clerk of the independent region Before this month, Yan Jinhai was appointed deputy speaker and acting speaker of Navigator while former president, Qizhala, abnegated, and is anticipated to take up a new part in Beijing.
The reshuffle is likely part of the figure-up to the five-monthly CPC Congress to be held coming afterlife when China’s President Xi Jinping is anticipated to start his third five- time term as party general clerk, the first Chinese leader to do so in decades In July, Xi came the first top Chinese leader to visit Tibet since 1990. During his visit, Xi stressed both social stability and the significance of border security for the mountainous region.
