CHINA-LEADERSHIP: PB MEMBER AND PARTY SECRETARY OF XINJIANG CHEN QUANGUO MISSES TWO MEETINGS IN BEIJING

Chen Quanguo, Party Secretary of the Xinjiang-Uyghur Autonomous Region and Politburo member did not attend the Chinese Communist Party's 2-day meeting to implement "Xi Jinping Thought on the Rule of Law" held earlier in the week beginning November 16. Normally, the 25 members of the Politburo, including all seven members of the Politburo Standing Committee, would attend. Chen Quanguo, also did not attend the Fifth Plenary session of the Party's 19th Central Committee, which ended on October 29. It is not usual for members of the Politburo to be absent from the plenum.
 
(Comment: There has been speculation that Chen Quannguo missed the Plenum because there had been a cluster of coronavirus infections in Xinjiang just prior to the Plenum. The reason for his absence at the meeting for "Xi Jinping Thought on the Rule of Law" is not yet known.)
