In a surprise announcement at the end of June, Chinese authorities revealed that Lu Wei, China’s top internet regulator since 2013, would be stepping down as head of the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC). Stepping up to helm the agency is the former lead vice director of CAC, Xu Lin. Before joining CAC last year, Xu was head of the Shanghai propaganda apparatus, where he was responsible for pushing the Communist Party’s message; this promotion is the next step up that ladder.
