Some say he was forced out due to his mishandling of the economy, while others believe he was a victim of political infighting. However, one thing is for sure: Zhao’s resignation marks a significant turning point in Chinese politics. Zhao, 65, is a veteran politician who has served in various high-ranking positions within the Chinese government. He was appointed Vice Premier in 2018 and was widely seen as a rising star within the Communist Party. However, his career has been marred by controversy in recent years. In 2021, he was accused of mishandling the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to a sharp decline in public trust in the government. He was also criticized for his handling of the economy, which has been slowing down in recent years. In addition to these controversies, Zhao is also said to have been involved in a number of corruption scandals. In 2019, he was accused of accepting bribes from a property developer. He has also been linked to a number of other corruption cases, which have further damaged his reputation. Given all of these factors, it is not surprising that Zhao has been forced to resign. His departure is a sign that the Chinese government is taking corruption and incompetence seriously.
