Zheng Xincong has been appointed as the Chinese government’s chief representative in Macau. As new director of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Macau Special Administrative Region (SAR), he replaces Fu Ziying, who had held the position since December 2018.
In July 2021, Zheng was appointed one of three deputy directors of the city’s Liaison Office in Macau. In his previous position, he focused on legal, cultural and youth affairs, according to GGRAsia.
Zheng also replaces Fu as national security affairs adviser to Macau’s Committee for Safeguarding National Security; he was previously a security technical adviser to that committee.
Zheng served previously as vice governor of Fujian province, and as a member and secretary of the Fujian provincial party committee.
The Liaison Office, Beijing’s representative agency in Macau, is one of three Chinese governing bodies in the city, along with the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the local quarters of the People’s Liberation Army.
