(Comprehensive report) (Sing Tao Daily reported) The day before yesterday, Zhou Ji, who was removed from the post of Minister of Education, was appointed as the deputy secretary of the Party Group of China Academy of Engineering, and is scheduled to succeed Xu as the president of China Academy of Engineering, and may even be promoted to vice chairman of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

Sixty-three-year-old Zhou Ji was removed from the post of Minister of Education the day before yesterday and was replaced by Yuan Guiren, former vice minister of education, which aroused strong concern. Since the minister's retirement age is 65, giving alms is tantamount to "dismissing classes" in advance. However, when the official Xinhua News Agency reported this personnel adjustment, it specifically pointed out that "Zhou Ji has another appointment", which has left a footnote for his new job.

According to official website of China Academy of Engineering, Li Jianhua, vice minister of the Central Organization Department, announced yesterday afternoon that he appointed Zhou Ji as the deputy secretary of the party group of China Academy of Engineering. A senior official of the Academy of Engineering told this reporter on the phone yesterday that Zhou Ji will succeed Xu as the president of China Academy of Engineering. "However, procedures are still needed, and the president must hold an academician meeting to be elected. 」

China Academy of Engineering is "the highest honor and consulting academic institution in the field of engineering science and technology in China", and its status is respected, second only to China Academy of Sciences. Xu, the current chairman of the Shanghai Municipal Government and former mayor of Shanghai, is 72 years old and will soon retire. Zhu Guangya, Song Jian and Xu, the three deans of this hospital, have all been appointed as vice-chairmen of the CPPCC, which does not rule out that Zhou Ji is expected to be among the "party countries" in the future.

Zhou Ji himself is an academician of China Academy of Engineering. He is an expert in mechanical engineering and holds a doctorate in engineering from new york State University (Buffalo). He has served as President of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Director of Science and Technology Department of Hubei Province and Mayor of Wuhan. Since 2003, he has served as Minister of Education.
