The ongoing political advisory session of east China's Shandong Province on Friday elected a new chairman of the provincial committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
  
Liu Wei, born in 1958, has replaced 64-year-old Sun Shuyi to take the job.
  
Sun was removed from the post at a meeting of the CPPCC Shandong Provincial Committee in mid December, just a few months before he was to retire.
  
The reason of his removal was not specified.
  
A native of Shandong Province, Liu Wei also serves as a Standing Committee member and organization chief of the Shandong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China.
