A Communist Party star, Hu Chunhua, has been appointed party chief of Guangdong Province, which is central to China’s export economy and has been a laboratory for more open economic policies since 1979, Xinhua, the state news agency, reported Tuesday. Mr. Hu, 49, was party chief of Inner Mongolia and was given one of 25 Politburo seats during the leadership transition in November.
