17th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party

17th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party

2007–2012 Central Committee


The 17th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party was elected by the 17th Congress on 21 October 2007, and sat until the 18th National Congress in 2012. The 17th CC is composed of full members and alternate members. It was followed by the 18th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party.[1] A member has voting rights, while an alternate does not.[1] If a full member is removed from the CC the vacancy is then filled by an alternate member at the next committee plenum — the alternate member who received the most confirmation votes in favour is highest on the order of precedence.[1] To be elected to the Central Committee, a candidate must be a party member for at least five years.[1]

Notes

  1. An active political position is considered to be any post in the party apparatus or the government. In other words, a position in the National People's Congress of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference is not considered "active".
  2. Central institution membership, which in this instance means membership in the PSC,[lower-greek 2] PB,[lower-greek 3] ST[lower-greek 4] and CMC[lower-greek 5]
  3. Yu Youjun was Governor of Shanxi prior to the 17th Party Congress, but was sacked in the aftermath of the Shanxi slave labour scandal; he then became party group secretary of the Ministry of Culture, but was never made Minister.[2] He underwent investigation by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and was placed on 2-year party membership probation, the most serious penalty for a party member short of an expulsion, and lost his seat on the Central Committee.[2]
  4. Deng Nan is the daughter of Deng Xiaoping.[3]
  5. Yang Yanyin was promoted to provincial-ministerial ranks in 2004 as Executive Deputy Chair of the Working Committee of State Organs Directly under the Central Committee
  6. Yang Chonghui became Chair of the People's Political Consultative Conference of Yunnan province in 2003, making him a full-rank provincial-ministerial official
  7. Zhang Zuoji earned his Central Committee membership by virtue of his position as Governor of Liaoning but he resigned in December 2007 before reaching mandatory retirement age (65); he then served on a nominal advisory role for the remainder of his career in the CPPCC
  8. Sub-provincial (vice-ministerial)
  9. Meng's tenure in active politics came to an abrupt end in 2008 after the mudslide scandal in Shanxi province, where he was serving as governor. He was transferred to insignificant positions after that but maintained his rank.[4]
