More on Wen Jiabao
Description from Wikipedia:
Wen Jiabao () (born 15 September 1942) is the current Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China, serving as the head of government and leading the cabinet of the world's most populous nation. He also holds membership in the 16th and 17th Politburo Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China, the country's de facto top power organ, where he is ranked third out of nine members. Prior to his elevation, Wen served as Vice-Premier under then-Premier Zhu Rongji between 1998 and 2003, where he was primarily responsible for economic policy.
Since taking office as Premier in 2003, Wen has been a key part of the fourth generation of leadership in the Communist Party of China, along with President Hu Jintao. A geologist by profession, Wen has been one of the most visible members of the current Chinese administration, and has been dubbed "the people's premier" by both domestic and foreign media. His populist approach to policy and his commoner image with the public separates him from the rest of China's power elite.
