About Meng Xuenong

  • Meng Xuenong (simplified Chinese: ???; traditional Chinese: ???; pinyin: Mèng Xuénóng; born August 1949) is a Chinese politician.
  • Meng worked as a factory worker in Beijing before getting involved in politics through the local Communist Youth League organization.
  • He was the Vice Mayor of Beijing between 1993 and 2003, before being promoted to mayor for a brief interlude in 2003.
  • He was sacked as mayor only after a few months on the job due to his government's mismanagement of the SARS epidemic. Meng then worked as a low-profile functionary in the South-North Water Transfer Project, before making a political comeback as the Governor of Shanxi province in 2007.
  • He resigned that post a year into his term, following what was considered a botched response to the 2008 Shanxi mudslide by the provincial government.
  • In December 2009, Meng was given a post on the body that manages the work of the directly-controlled organizations of the Communist Party's central committee (?????????????).
  • In 2012, he gained a largely ceremonial post as the head of a legal affairs committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. He has been a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China since November 2002.
