Lin Duo

Lin Duo (; born March 1956) is a Chinese politician currently serving as the Party Secretary of Gansu. He formerly served as CCP Committee Secretary and Mayor of Harbin, and Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Liaoning Province.

Biography Lin Duo was born in March 1956 in Heze, Shandong province. In November 1974, he enlisted in the People's Liberation Army Navy and served as a submariner for five years.

In 1982, Lin began working for the road administration office of Huairou County in suburban Beijing, embarking on a career in the Beijing government lasting nearly three decades. He rose through the ranks first in Huairou County, then in the Beijing Highway Bureau, and the Beijing Urban Management Committee. He was appointed governor of Beijing's Xicheng District in 2003, and CCP Committee Secretary of Xicheng in 2006.

On 1 April 2016, Lin Duo was made acting Governor of Gansu in northwest China, succeeding Liu Weiping, who had resigned and transferred to an academic position. At the time of Lin's appointment in Gansu, the number of native Gansu officials on its provincial standing committees was a mere two people: Xian Hui and Yu Haiyan (Xian would be transferred out of Gansu only a few months later, and Yu would come under investigation for corruption). Lin's appointment to the governor post was also unusual in that he went directly from a discipline chief position to governor.

Lin was an alternate of the 18th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party and a full member of the 19th Central Committee.
