  Huang Ju - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He is ranked 6th out of 9 in the Politburo Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China.
In 1987, Huang became one of the chosen candidates for the Mayor of Shanghai, and therefore a CCP Central Committee member, but he was embarrassed by the low number of votes supporting his candidacy, followed by Zhu Rongji's installment as Mayor of Shanghai.
He is the leader that received the least votes in favour, with over 300 against in his confirmation for the CCP Politburo.

After the break between the Kuomintang and the Communists in 1927, he was elected to the CCP’s ruling Politburo.
During the rest of the Sino-Japanese War, Zhou served in Chongqing as chief CCP representative with the KMT government, and after the defeat of Japan, he represented the CCP in the futile negotiations with Chiang Kai-shek, which were mediated by the U.S. general George C. Marshall.

The RAB and the CCP's United Front Work Department (UFWD), both of which are staffed by officials who are rarely, if ever, religious adherents, provide policy "guidance and supervision" over implementation of government regulations on religious activity, including the role of foreigners in religious activity.

In addition to the CCP Politburos control of the PRC government and military, there are hundreds of similar connections between lower-level Communist Party officials and the State, military, and commercial bureaucracies in the PRC.
Jiang is also the first Communist Party Secretary to enforce CCP control over the military completely by appointing no military officers to the powerful CCP Politburo Standing Committee, although two officers remain on the Politburo.

 Association for Asia Research- Jiang Zemin's influence
Among the 16th politburo members, 10 are from the 15th CCP Congress; 8 are politburo members and 2 are the politburo’s supplementary members.
The 16th CCP Congress opening ceremony and the above individuals’ performance and speeches during the Congress proceedings have verified this, which proves, from a different angle, that Jiang’s influence is not as powerful as speculated by outsiders.
Finally, I wish to stress that the CCP’s 4th generation headed by Hu Jintao remains a transitional generation, and it is impossible to expect this 4th generation to begin democratic politics in China.

The average ages of members of the Standing Committee, Politburo, and Secretariat of the 15th Central Committee (CC) of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1999 are 67, 65, and 65, respectively.
Specifically as compared to the Politburo membership appointed around Deng Xiaoping at the Twelfth CPC Congress in 1982, the Jiang Politburo, at 63 years old on average, was nearly a decade younger.
Politburo appointments included nine leaders who were 60 years old or younger at the time of the Congress and who therefore may be counted as an emerging "fourth-generation" leadership.

On June 30, the CCP Military Committee informed Xiao Jinguang, commander-i n-chief of the CCP navy, that the timing for liberating Taiwan be postponed, and the preparation for encountering the U.S. in Korea took the first priority.
Su Yu, the CCP general previously responsible for the liberation of Tai wan, was then appointed as the commander of the NDA, which would initially include four infantry armies and three artillery divisions.
Since the CCP had been viewing postwar world politics in terms of the "two-camp struggle," solidarity and mutual assistance within the socialist camp was essential to both world revolutionary forces and China's survival in the face of a Washington-directed anti-Communist onslaught.

 The People's Liberation Army and China in Transition
First, there is no imminent CCP leadership crisis on the scale of the Cultural Revolution (causing collapse of the party-state bureaucracy) or the 1989 Tiananmen crisis (causing severe division among the CCP leadership on how to handle student demonstrations, which made it difficult to take preemptive measures).
But military professionalization may also mean that the PLA is gradually losing skills and interests in party-state politics, to the point it would rather concentrate on the narrower pursuit of functional and technical skills of the military profession than on civilian politics.
Some reports suggest that the number of PLA members in the CCP Politburo and Central Committee would be substantially increased at the 16th Congress because the PLA leaders demand more seats to have more say on policy.

First of all, there is no imminent CCP leadership crisis in the scale of the Cultural Revolution (causing collapse of the Party-state bureaucracy) or the 1989 Tian Anmen Incident (causing severe division among the CCP leadership on how to handle student demonstrations, which made it difficult to take preemptive measures).
Furthermore, to the extent the upcoming 16th CCP Congress leadership transition takes place not just to the CCP Politburo, but also to the Central Military Commission (CMC), the influence of the PLA leadership in civilian leadership transition may be weakened.
One commentary, for instance, argues that the theory implies that the CCP should not just be the vanguard of the working class, but also the vanguard of the Chinese citizens and the Chinese Nation.

At the work meeting of the CCP Central Committee in Shanghai in March-April 1959, Mao advocated the "spirit of Hai Rui; that is, his daring style of speaking truth and in criticizing the Ming emperor." Mao suggested that the CCP seek a historian who had done research on Hai Rui.
In order to regain the "first-line" command of the CCP that had been "lost" to the Liuists who controlled the capital, challenged his personal authority, policy preferences, and revolutionary vision since the late 1950s, Mao decided to use Shanghai as the base to launch his attack on them in the second half of 1965.

Given that the PLA functions as the CCP’s “private army,” it is not surprising that Beijing has repeatedly used the forces both within China and abroad to maintain its grip on power.
The CCP’s reliance on the “tools of the dictatorship of the proletariat” to keep itself in power was evident during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests.
Approximately 20% of CCP Central Committee seats are reserved for PLA and PAP officers and the highest ranking general officers of the PLA are assured two slots in the CCP Politburo.

At the CCP plenum around September 15, the battle may well be decided, and some observers say Jiang already is the winner.
At a symposium on August 21 to study the theories of the Deng Xiaoping, Li Changchun of the CCP Central Politburo issued a warning against the alleged conspiracy of Westernization and "splittism" by a few hostile Western countries, meanwhile calling for unswerving faith in the communist political ideology.
The report emphasized that the CCP's absolute command of the troops should be based on the steadfast belief in the "Three Represents", meaning the CCP represents the requirement to develop advanced productive forces, an orientation towards advanced culture, and the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people in China.

Contrary to the official line that they remained close comrades till death, it says Mao developed an intense dislike for Zhou in his later years, and even forbade doctors from treating the latter when he was diagnosed with cancer.
Mr Gao, a CCP member before he left China in the wake of the Tiananmen government crackdown on June 4, 1989, reportedly spent 10 years researching his controversial biography of Zhou.
Doctors had submitted a request to the CCP Politburo for Zhou to undergo immediate treatment but Mao allegedly ordered them to 'keep it a secret, do not conduct any more health checks, do not operate, just put him under intensive care and give him better nutrition'.

The "16-Character Policy" is the CCPs overall direction that underlies the blurring of the lines between State and commercial entities, and military and commercial interests.
This policy, a reaffirmation and codification of Deng Xiaopings 1978 pronouncement, holds that military development is the object of general economic modernization, and that the CCPs main aim for the civilian economy is to support the building of modern military weapons and to support the aims of the PLA.

This mindset is promoted throughout society, usually includes violence, and has cost the Chinese people dearly—over 60 million Chinese have lost their lives at the hands of the CCP since it took power in 1949).
Because the CCP has always used violence to resolve problems, it is not hard to see why it would want to attack the Epoch Times facilities and personnel.
On February 16, the Politburo of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Central Committee held a lengthy meeting, and circulated a report indicating that the domestic situation is "complex" and that the international situation is "dangerous."

 AsiaMedia :: Hu Juntao's driving influence on Chinese military modernization
And given that, according to the division of labor within the CCP Politburo Standing Committee, Hu is directly responsible for security, military and foreign affairs, the brainy and energetic leader is taking a more hands-on approach to defense matters than his predecessor, ex-president Jiang Zemin.
Hu became Head of the CCP Leading Group on Foreign Affairs in early 2003 and has been the driving force behind the aggressive campaign to persuade the European Union to lift its 16-year-old embargo on arms sales to the PRC.
It is probable that, using Hu-style parlance, the "CCP’s ruling-party status" will crumble if Beijing fails to make a forceful and immediate military response in the event that Taiwan’s President Chen Shui-bian makes a daring dash for independence, say, a few months before the opening of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
