China’s ruling Communist Party replaced a senior official in the southwestern municipality of Chongqing as part of broader changes there after Politburo member Bo Xilai was ousted from his leadership post.
Chen Cungen was removed as a standing member of the city’s party committee, the state-run Chongqing Daily reported today. The city will also scrap “Daily Red Songs,” a television program begun amid Bo’s efforts to revive the spirit of China’s Maoist past, the official Xinhua News Agency reported yesterday.
