CHINA-INTERNAL: LEADERSHIP APPOINTMENTS

CMC -- The Chairman of the Central Military Commission Xi Jinping nominated Xu Qiliang and Zhang Hexia as candidates for the Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission. He nominated Wei Fenghe, Li Zuocheng, Miao Hua and Zhang Shengmin as members of the Central Military Commission. 

SUPERVISORY COMMISSION -- A surprise appointment was that of Yang Xiaodu, erstwhile Deputy Head of the CDIC as Director of the newly created National Supervisory Commission. Expectation was that this  position would be held by either  Zhao Leji or Wang Qishan since the Supervisory Commission technically outranks the CDIC and Supreme Court. Zhao Leji, however, outranks Yang Xiaodu indicating that Party ranks will supercede all government appointments.
