BEIJING: China's top legislature has approved the Cabinet nomination of Wan Gang, a non-Communist party member, as the country's Minister of Science and Technology. Mr. Wan, a member of the China Zhi Gong (Public Interest) Party, replaces 65-year-old Xu Guanhua, becoming the only current non-Communist party Minister in China's State Council. The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC) approved the nomination at the conclusion of its four-day bimonthly session on Friday. Mr. Wan, a Shanghai native, is vice-chairman of the Central Committee of the Zhi Gong Party, a non-Communist political party with more than 15,600 members. Founded in 1925, the China Zhi Gong Party is mainly composed of returned overseas Chinese and relatives of overseas Chinese. A former automobile engineer at the Audi Corporation in Germany, Mr. Wan, born in August 1952, was president of Shanghai's Tongji University before his new appointment. He began to work at the research department of the Audi Corporation in 1991, when he graduated with honours from the Clausthal Technical University in Germany with a Ph.D degree in mechanical engineering. Mr. Wan's leadership and contributions to many technological innovations are said to have helped the company achieve outstanding financial results. — Xinhua
