China is preparing a new generation of leaders: who will replace Si Jinping?

The President of the China Si Jinping intends to hold a number of raises this year, which will give the first glance at the younger generation of officials who should become the next leaders of the country, reports UNN with reference to Bloomberg.

According to Asia Society, about a fifth of China’s local leaders should resign in 2025. This concussion will create a space for officials born in the 1970s to start reaching a full ministerial rank.

The achievements of the generation after the 1970s are closely monitored, because they will be sixty – when Chinese bureaucrats usually reach the peak of their careers – when SI reaches eighty. This is a period when China’s highest leader can transfer more power to his assistants or may even resign.

Among those who go forward, people who became the youngest governor of China this month after he was increased in the province of Jzhetsyan, a rich technological center that helped to move these to power. Two others, who are fifty, are already at the same level of leadership.

“The longer these remain in power, the more likely it will be to take his future successor from the generation after the 70’s,” said Neil Thomas, a Chinese policy researcher at the China’s Analysis Center for the Institute of Policy of Asian Society. “It is also possible that these will violate more norms and retain their close allies in power much longer than the traditional retirement age, opening a new era of elderly people in Beijing.”

According to the newspaper, the most powerful leader of China since Mao Jedun’s time retreated from the quarter -age tradition to miss the definition of a successor at the last party congress in 2022. The 71-year-old man cleared his way to life reign and did not give any instructions that he would resign during the next 2027 permutation, eliminating all the applicants. This casts doubt on the future of the political system that manages the second largest economy in the world.

Discussion of young personnel rising by the office stairs is becoming more sensitive. On January 2, the news edition of Shanghai Observer published an article that listed promising young officials born in the 1970s without any assumptions. A few days later, this report was deleted from the Internet, like others on the same topic. Now the link returns the message 404, which is usually a sign of censorship.

Since this year, the ruling Communist Party is expected to hold a competition known as the fourth plenum, which usually discuss party construction issues, disciplinary and personnel issues will be the focus of attention.
