He gets the plum job. Barring a disaster, the will be made a full member of the 18th CC. Unlike governor Li Xueyong, he has a reasonably strong experience in Jiangsu (not only as governor until now, but also as former Mayor and Party Secretary of Nanjing), though he never held a job outside Nanjing. He has roots in the Youth League and close ties to Li Yuanchao, which is supposed to tie him to Hu Jintao.
Professor Bo Zhiyue wrote an interesting analysis of Jiangsu county leaders, in which he notes that only one county level leader (Fu Cheng, former Mayor of Xuanwu District in Nanjing) has been dismissed for corruption in recent years. This either makes Jiangsu a relatively clean province--or if you are more cynical, one where leaders just take better care each other... Ah, the delights of observational equivalence! Regardless, a cleaner-than-average record should help boost the career prospects of the new team at the helm.
