Li Zhanshu
Li Zhanshu (born 30 August 1951) is a Chinese retired politician, who was the chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress from 2018 to 2023. He was the third-ranking member of the Politburo Standing Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, China's top decision-making body, between 2017 and 2022.
Born in Pingshan, Hebei, Li began his political career in rural regions of his native Hebei province, becoming the Party Secretary of Wuji County, Commissioner of Shijiazhuang in 1985, head of Chengde Prefecture in 1990, and secretary-general of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee from 1993 and 1997. He rose through the ranks becoming the Party Secretary of Xi'an in 2002, where he served until 2003. In 2008, he became the Governor of Heilongjiang, where he served until 2010. In that year, he became the Party Secretary of Guizhou province, where he served until 2012.
In 2012, he became director of the General Office of the Chinese Communist Party. After the 18th Party Congress in 2012, Li became a member of the CCP Politburo and one of the top advisors to party General Secretary Xi Jinping. In 2017, he became a member of the Politburo Standing Committee, being appointed as the chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress in 2018. He stepped down from the Politburo Standing Committee in 2022, and as NPCSC chair in 2023. He is regarded by the media as a senior member of the "Xi Jinping faction", one of the main political factions within the Chinese Communist Party.
Li was born in Pingshan County, Hebei province on August 30, 1951. Between 1968 and 1973, he was a "sentdown youth" at an agricultural commune in his hometown county. He studied at the Shijiazhuang Institute of Commerce in Shijiazhuang from 1971 to 1973. He started his career as an ordinary functionary in Shijiazhuang, working as an office worker for the Shijiazhuang commercial bureau and later becoming its deputy director in 1971. In 1976, he became a clerk and head of the information division of the General Office of the Shijiazhuang Prefecture Party Committee. In 1980, Li studied night school at Hebei Normal University, graduating via part-time studies in 1983.
After graduating, he was promoted to Party Secretary of Wuji County (at around the same time, the party chief of neighbouring Zhengding County was Xi Jinping, current General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party). In 1985, he became the deputy party secretary and Commissioner of Shijiazhuang prefecture (not equivalent to mayor), later becoming the secretary of the Hebei Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League of China. In 1988, he attended a six-month program on CCP theoretical work at the Central Party School. He served as the deputy party secretary and head of Chengde Prefecture from 1990 to 1993, and as the secretary-general of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee from 1993 and 1997. He also enrolled at a economics in a correspondence program at the Central Party School from 1992 to 1994. Between 1997 and 1998, he served as the deputy director of the Rural Work Office of the Provincial Party Committee.
In 1998, Li was transferred to Shaanxi province to serve on its party standing committee and become the head of its provincial Organization Department. Beginning in January 2002, Li became the Party Secretary of Xi'an. In May, he concurrently took on the role of deputy party chief of Shaanxi province. During his term in Xi'an, Li was known to have set the goal for Xi'an to become the "best city in the western interior".
In December 2003, Li became Deputy Party Secretary of Heilongjiang, and assumed the post of Vice Governor about a year later. At the time, outside observers classified Li as a member of the Tuanpai, i.e., officials with a background in the Communist Youth League. On December 25, 2007, then Governor Zhang Zuoji resigned, and Li took over as acting Governor, confirmed in January 2008.
In August 2010, Li became the Party Secretary of Guizhou province, taking on his first role in the top office of a province. At the time, Li was not yet a full member of the Central Committee; it was considered very rare for someone to hold office as a provincial party chief without a full seat on the Central Committee.
