Beijing names Xue Xiaofeng Liaison Office vice head

The central government has appointed Xue Xiaofeng as deputy director of its Liaison Office in Macau, the Chinese State Council announced yesterday. The 55-year old Chinese official had served as secretary of the Zhongshan municipal party committee since January 2011 prior to being transferred to the Special Administrative Region.
Mr. Xue, from Shanxi Province, joined the Communist Party in 1991. In July, the Liaison Office saw its new Director, Wang Zhiming, sworn into his current position, replacing former Director Li Gang.
