According to Xinhua News Agency, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council decided to remove Yi Huiman from his posts as Secretary of the Party Committee of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and Chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, and appointed Wu Qing to take over.

When Wu Qing served as Vice Mayor of Hai, he worked with Li Qiang, who was regarded as the next Premier of the State Council and the then Secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee.
