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.

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."
