Fifty-two-year-old Zhang Chunxian was the nation's communications minister
before his new appointment as the Party secretary of Central China's Hunan
Province.
And Wang Yang, 50, who became deputy secretary-general of the State Council
two years ago, was appointed the Party secretary of Chongqing Municipality in
Southwest China.
These appointments are considered the biggest reshuffle of key local Party
posts this year.
Speaking at a meeting after taking office on Saturday, Qian said he felt a
lot of pressure on his shoulders.
"I'm ready to listen to the public's demands in the province, I want to
devote myself to improving the lives of the people," Qian said.
Zhang expressed confidence in his new post in Hunan Province.
He vowed to be a responsible Party secretary, saying that he will live up to
the expectations of the CPC Central Committee as well as the people of the
province.
"I hope I can contribute to economic growth, improve living standards of the
people and help to maintain a harmonious society in the province," Zhang said.
