My Take

What strikes me about Xu Qin is the arc of his career rather than any single title. From a port city like Lianyungang to Peking University, then steering Shenzhen, China's boldest economic experiment, before moving to Hebei and finally Heilongjiang, he has covered an enormous range of terrain and responsibility. I find the Shenzhen chapter the most telling, because managing that engine of reform demands both vision and nerve. Politicians are usually reduced to their posts, but I am more curious about the judgment forged crossing from coastal boomtowns to the cold industrial north. That breadth, to me, is the real story worth watching.

Overview

Xu Qin (Chinese: 许勤; born October 1961) is a Chinese politician, and the current Party Secretary of Heilongjiang. Previously he had served as governor of Hebei, and before that, mayor, then Party Secretary of Shenzhen, China's most prominent special economic zone.
