Chen Wenqing, a member of the Politburo of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), has recently become Secretary (head) of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission.
The Politburo is the CCP’s executive decision-making body, with Xi Jinping at the helm. Members of the Politburo often assume other executive positions. Collectively, they make decisions on laws and policies and are the most powerful group in Communist China. The CCP’s National People’s Congress serves as a rubber stamp legislature.
