Wang’s meeting with Bannon was not reported by mainland Chinese media.

It would have been kept quiet to avoid misinterpretation to do with Wang’s political future, according to Chen Daoyin, a political scientist with the Shanghai University of Political Science and Law.

“There has been speculation that Wang will replace [Premier] Li Keqiang after the party congress, and Beijing will be wanting to avoid stoking those rumours,” Chen said. “But the message is clear about his meeting with Lee – the leadership is behind him on fighting corruption.”

At that meeting on Wednesday, Wang told Lee he was “surprised but glad” that Lee asked to meet him. The pair reportedly discussed building clean government, among other topics.

There are voices within the academic and business communities that want Wang to remain in the Politburo Standing Committee and to take a role spearheading growth of the world’s second largest economy.

He is considered one of China’s best informed officials when it comes to the economy, overseeing market reforms and state-owned banks since the 1980s, as well as Sino-US trade matters.
