Ying Yong (May 2019)

Ying Yong (Chinese: 应 勇; pinyin: Yīng Yǒng; born November 1957 in Xianju , Zhejiang Province ) is a Chinese politician who was mayor of Shanghai from 2017 to 2020 . He became known in Zhejiang Province from 2003 and served as President of the Provincial Supreme Court. Before he became deputy party chief of Shanghai, he served as the head of the organization department of the Shanghai City Municipal Committee.

Life

Ying was born in Xianju District, Zhejiang Province, near Taizhou City. He joined the Chinese Communist Party in April 1979 . He holds a law degree from the China Political Science and Law University and Hangzhou University (now part of Zhejiang University ). He began his career in Huangyan District , Zhejiang, where he worked for the district's industrial bureau and the local police station. He then served as the mayor of Chengguan Town . In Taizhou he gradually worked his way through the bureaucratic hierarchy, headed the public security department and then the Political and Legal Commission (Zhengfawei). He then became police chief and head of the Political and Legal Commission of neighboring Shaoxing .

Ying was promoted to the provincial government in 1995 and served as the provincial deputy chief of police, then as the head of the provincial illegal drugs office, and as the head of the counterterrorism division. In July 2003, Ying was promoted to deputy secretary of the Provincial Disciplinary Inspection Commission, and a few months later, he was also promoted to head of the provincial regulatory agency. At the time, Xi Jinping was the provincial party leader. Hence, Ying is named by political observers as a member of the "Zhejiang Army", politicians who once worked under Xi and who share his philosophy of government.

In November 2006, Ying was appointed president of the Zhejiang Province Supreme Court. In January 2008, Ying became President of the Shanghai Supreme Court. In April 2013, he was appointed head of the Organization Department of the Shanghai City Party Committee and a member of the City Party's Standing Committee. In June 2014, he was appointed deputy party leader and oversaw party affairs and the city's party school. In September 2016 he also received the office of Vice Mayor. This was seen as highly unusual, as the party vice-leaders typically do not hold alternate government positions at the same time. The move was therefore interpreted as preparing Ying for higher office, likely as the future mayor of Shanghai. On January 20, 2017, Ying Yong was actually elected mayor of Shanghai to succeed Yang Xiong . Ying was the first mayor since Zhu Rongji , who spent most of his career outside the community. As part of the COVID-19 pandemic , he was appointed the new party secretary of the hard-hit Hubei Province , replacing Jiang Chaoliang .

Ying was a delegate of the 18th Congress and a delegate of the 11th and 12th National People's Congresses of the Communist Party. In 2017 he was elected a full member of the 19th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party.
