Sun Shougang (孙守刚) appointed director of the Propaganda of Shandong Province

Sun Shougang has been Party Secretary of Jining City since 2006.  So far, I have identified  42 changes of prefecture-level CCP Party Secretaries since the beginning of the 2010. The great chess game of elite appointments and promotions ahead of the 18th Party Congress is under way, as reflected in the current turnover of sub-provincial and provincial elites.
