Liu Binjie, deputy director of the General Administration of
Press and Publication (GAPP) and the National Copyright
Administration (NCA), was appointed director yesterday, replacing
Long Xinmin.?
The 61-year-old Long, who was appointed GAPP director in
December 2005, was transferred to the Party History Research Center
of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, as deputy
director.
Born in 1948 in Changwu, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, Liu
worked at a school and later two State-owned nonferrous metal
companies before he began his four-year studies in economics at the
Capital Normal University in Beijing in 1978.
From 1981 to 1994 he worked at the Central Committee of the
Communist Youth League of China and became a standing member of the
committee. In 1995 he was appointed assistant to the governor of
Southwest China's Sichuan Province, and four years later he became
director of the publicity department of the CPC Sichuan Provincial
Committee. In 2002 he was transferred back to Beijing and appointed
deputy director of the GAPP and the NCA.
