Tang Yijun, former Governor of Liaoning, has been approved for appointment as China's new Minister of Justice, but he will formally take over after receiving the NPC Standing Committee's approval when it meets from April 25 - 29, 2020. Tang Yijun spent the first 40 years of his career in Zhejiang, eventually serving as Deputy Party Secretary of the province. He has been Governor of Liaoning since October 2017. Zhejiang is one Xi Jinping’s key power bases, which suggests he might be Xi Jinping's ally.

(Comment: Two promotions in two and a half years indicate that Tang Yijun may be being groomed for bigger and better things.)
