Efficiency more vital than age

Zhou Senfeng is only one of the young cadres of the 1980s generation at the county level. The public should not be obsessed with his rise because now more and more young talents are likely to take leading positions, says an article in Peninsula Metropolis News. Excerpt:

Zhou Senfeng, 29, was unanimously elected mayor of Yicheng in Hubei province recently to become the youngest mayor in the province.

The news, however, has sparked a public debate, with most people wondering whether Zhou comes from a rich and powerful family, and whether such a quick promotion conforms to regulations.
