The village chiefs from Yongkang, where Zhong previously served as deputy district chief and maintained good relations, organized their visit for July 24. Their original plan to attend his inauguration on July 16 was thwarted by a coordination meeting for the Yongkang Police Precinct's "Town Resilience Air Defense Exercise."
