As the Party tightens its grip on foreign affairs, a new guard emerges

Li Qian's appointment to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the latest sign that the Chinese Communist Party apparatus is tightening its grip on diplomatic affairs. A generation of leaders born in the 1960s is gradually taking up diplomatic leadership positions, ahead of the expected reshuffle between the 5th plenum, at the end of 2026, and the 21st Congress, at the end of 2027.

Wei Xiaodong affair upends Beijing's powerful elite

Beijing's anti-corruption authorities have submitted a dossier to Chinese President Xi Jinping deemed too sensitive to be passed on to the Politburo Standing Committee. This follows the launch of an investigation into Wei Xiaodong, a senior official from Fujian, whose downfall threatens part of the party elite and places the head of state in a delicate position ahead of the 5th Plenum.
