Wen Jiabao Biography and Photos

Wen Jiabao (simplified Chinese: 温家宝; traditional Chinese: 溫家寶; pinyin: Wēn Jiābǎo; Wade-Giles: Wen Chia-pao) (born 15 September 1942) is the Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China, leading the country's cabinet. He also serves as a member of its Leading Party Members' Group and Secretary of the Financial Work Committee of the CPC Central Committee. Since taking office in 2003, Wen, ranked third in the Politburo Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China hierarchy, has been a key part of the fourth generation of leadership in the Communist Party of China.

Wen, having been dubbed "the people's premier" , has a commoner image with the public that separates him from the rest of China's power elite. Considered modest and approachable, Wen's populist approach to policy and his visible public persona has made him a very popular figure within China.
