Liang Cai (born July 1962) is a Yuaneze politician who serves as the President of Yuan since July 13th, 2024. He simultaneously serves as the Chairman of the National Assembly since August 2022, having been appointed by Qin Chen under whom he served as Vice Premier. In his earlier political career he was the Administrator of Guanjan. Liang was selected in the 2024 Communist Party Ruling Committee elections, replacing Qin Chen and shrinking the Standing Committee from nine individuals to seven, 5 seats of which became Vice Premiers.
Born in Guanjan to an aristocratic family with ties to the politburo, Liang graduated multiple universities with degrees in political sciences and economics before joining the Communist Party and rising through local ranks, eventually being named as the Administrator of Guanjan by Zhen Yijun and establishing himself as a well-known political figure in Yuan. His provincial administration was successful in expanding economic opportunities and diversification in Guanjan, and his skillful political maneuverings brought his position to a succession level within national government.
Following the dismissal and arrest of Xi Jingyi, Liang was named Vice Premier and Assembly Chairman, and led Xi's prosecution. As Vice Premier, Liang emphasized solidifying Yuan's foreign allies even as Qin's administration faced increased international scrutiny for its involvement in the Haduastan War, Brau Sea crisis, and intervention in the Annaskermishilles. Liang's dealings with Epsilon and Suraire, as well as with central Ausianan countries, led to the creation of more than a dozen foreign PLA military facilities, greatly expanding Yuan's overseas military capabilities. To the detriment of his counterpart, Foreign Minister Mao Xieren, Liang generally floated under the radar and avoided international sanctions due to his moderate approaches to foreign relations.
Early life and education
Liang was born in July 1962 in Guanjan. He studied political sciences and international art at the University of Shanghan from 1980-83, and world economics at the Institute of Xiannen from 1982-86.
Political career
Administrator of Guanjan
In 2010, Liang became the Administrator (governor) of Guanjan province, appointed by Zhen Yijun. In his position, he ranked eleventh in terms of succession in the Communist Party. In 2014 he was one of the Select Committee's members to appoint Xi Jingyi to the position of chairman.
Liang was considered to be "business-friendly", having implemented pro-business policies while in Guanjan such as the opening of the Guanjan Stock Exchange. He oversaw increasing foreign investment in the city, including the third-largest factory of Airsub components. He has also implemented policies like lowering the threshold for internal migrants to obtain residency permits and creating five new towns to lessen the land supply shortage.
Vice Premier and National Assembly Chairman
_12.jpg)
Following the dismissal of Xi Jingyi as party leader and the ascension of Qin Chen, Liang was transferred to Shanghan in July 2022, where he was named National Assembly chairman. Only days later was he named personally by Qin to be Vice Premier. His first official state task was the prosecution of Xi, during which Liang laid out charges of corruption and centralization surpassing the authority of the Communist Party. Xi was found guilty of most charges and sentenced to house arrest.
Liang avoided controversy and was known for strictly observing party discipline. For example, Shanghan administrators attempted to earn favor with him by arranging a special train to shuttle him between Shanghan and Guanjan. However, Liang reportedly refused to take the train, citing a loosely enforced party regulation that stipulated that special trains can only be reserved for "national leaders." While in Shanghan, he worked on preserving unity of the national party organisation. He pledged there would be no 'purges' during his administration, despite the fact many local officials were thought to have been implicated by his internal reforms. On most issues, Liang largely echoed the line of the central leadership.
As Vice Premier, Liang often overshadowed Foreign Minister Mao Xieren in Qin's new administration during foreign travels. Due to the tumultuous nature of Qin's administration in the wake of the Jinchon Sea crisis, Brau Sea crisis, and the outbreak of the Haduastan War, Liang towed the line of a mediator as opposed to Mao's assertiveness. Liang attended, and in many cases moderated, international summits while other figures in the administration were being sanctioned by foreign governments. In his capacity as Vice Premier, Liang embarked on a tour of Adula, including a multi-day visit to Unified Sera. His trips to Great Epsilon and Suraire secured the establishment of PLA military facilities in the Kuskok Sea, but the international outrage to these bases was largely directed to Mao. Experts now believe many of these strategic low-lying foreign plays was a method by Liang to secure a rise to executive power in the politburo while directing blame to the Foreign Ministry.
President of Yuan
Selection
In July 2024, Premier Qin Chen allowed the politburo to select a new Standing Committee, with the apparent perception she'd remain as president. However, after a series of selection rounds, Mr Liang led the new Standing Committee onto the stage at the Great Hall of the People in Shanghan without Qin, signaling his elevation to the top of Yuan's ruling Communist Party. Liang had been seen as the likely successor should Qin fail to secure her continued term as the leader of the party. Most of the new committee were seen as politically conservative, and perceived reformers did not get promotion.
The selection of party leaders faced great challenges but would work to meet "expectations of both history and the people", Liang Cai said.
Liang was followed out onto the stage by Minister of Defense Wei Shui, whose six years in his position was one of the sturdiest in government, and five other men - meaning that the size of the all-powerful Standing Committee had been reduced from nine to seven. Those five, in order of seniority, were Vice-Premier Deng Xinyue, Shanghan party boss Zhang Tu, propaganda chief Liu Shui, Vice-Premier Kang Zexian and Xiani party boss Xian Gengxin.
Liang vowed to crack down on corruption immediately after he ascended to power. "The party faces many severe challenges, and there are also many pressing problems within the party that need to be resolved, particularly corruption, being divorced from the people, going through formalities and bureaucratism caused by some party officials," Mr Liang said. "We must make every effort to solve these problems. The whole party must stay on full alert."
