Wu Guanzheng (born August 1938) is a former Chinese politician and one of the major leaders of the Communist Party of China during the administration of Hu Jintao. He served on the Politburo Standing Committee, the country's top ruling body, from 2002 to 2007. During that time he also served as the Secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China, the party's anti-graft body. Wu retired in 2007 and left public life.
Career
Wu is a native of Yugan, Jiangxi. He joined the Communist Party of China in March 1963. Wu graduated in thermal engineering from Tsinghua University in 1968. Wu was mayor of Wuhan from 1983 to 1986. He became the governor of Jiangxi in 1986, and was the Jiangxi CPC party chief from 1995 to 1997. He moved to Shandong in 1997 to become the party chief of the province and was made a full member of the Politburo the same year.
He is known to have good relationships with both General Secretary Hu Jintao and former General Secretary Jiang Zemin. Some sources consider him to be Hu's ally, while other consider him to be Jiang's. As a result, he is sometimes included in the list of people in the Shanghai clique.
In 2009, a Spanish court indicted Wu for genocide against Falun Gong. Ethan Gutmann estimates that 65,000 Falun Gong practitioners were killed for their organs from 2000 to 2008.
Trivia
- Wu's name, when sounded phonetically, spells out a phrase that seems to say "No government official is clean (or upright)". This is a widely known irony because Wu served as the Secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the institution in charge of cracking down on corrupt officials.
