From the China Daily:
China has appointed a woman as the new director of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE), a government source said yesterday.
Hu Xiaolian, a central banker and formerly the assistant governor of the People’s Bank of China, will take over from Guo Shuqing, who became chairman of the China Construction Bank last week.
Guo replaced Zhang Enzhao, who resigned earlier this month.
Hu is the second woman among eight people to head the office since it was listed into China’s cabinet in 1988. The first, Wu Xiaoling, served during 1998-2000.
The reference to Zhang Enzhao resigning is rather misleading: Zhang Enzhao was forced to resign after evidence of corruption on a massive scale came to light.
