Wang is a seasoned party bureaucrat. From his early days on the Tianjin Municipal Committee to heading Hebei province, he has experience at all levels of government. When he was named minister of the MII, many insiders at the ministry were wary of his lack of technical background. However, his industriousness and leadership qualities have won him the
support of the central government, which has now elevated him to head of the LIG working office.
