...whole life, and I am continuing to make revolution." So said Vice Premier Wan Li, 64, at the beginning of an hourlong meeting in Peking's Great Hall of the People. Wan, a tall, affable, silver-haired man, is widely regarded as the key official below Premier Zhao Ziyang in China's new government. Until early this year he was the governor of Anhui province in the eastern part of China; there, as in Premier Zhao's Sichuan, the new national economic policies were first tested. Wan was brought into the central government when Party Vice Chairman...
...trust." With those words, China's Communist Party Chairman Hua Guofeng last week formally announced to the National People's Congress that, as expected, he would step down from his top government post to make way for a new Premier, former Sichuan province Governor Zhao Ziyang. Hua also made it official that seven Vice Premiers, including the architect of the transition, Deng Xiaoping, would retire from their government posts; among their successors will be the Westward-leaning Foreign Affairs Minister, Huang Hua.

That was likely to be the most dramatic step taken to accomplish the ambitious goal of transferring government power from one group to another. Along with the resignation of Hua, who, at 60, is himself relatively young, will come the voluntary departure from their government posts of some half a dozen old revolutionaries...
...resign as Premier when the People's Congress meets later this month. Though Hua will reportedly retain the post of Chairman that was held by Mao, the party leaders are expected to act on proposals to reduce greatly the power of that office. Hua's successor, Zhao Ziyang, 61, is the hand-picked candidate of the Senior Vice Premier, Deng Xiaoping. Like Deng, Zhao is one of the many who have once again risen to power in China, after being ignominiously purged by Mao during the Cultural Revolution of the late 1960s...
