The Vatican announced the consecration of Andrea Ding Yang as the archbishop of Chongqing.

According to a biography released by the Holy See, Yang's background includes studies at a seminary and service at St. Joseph's Parish in Yuzhong, as well as time spent in Rome. His career included four different parish assignments before his most recent work in Jiulongpo.
