Hu Chunhua also serves as the commander-in-chief of the National Flood Control and Dro

(Beijing Comprehensive News) According to Xinhua News Agency, Hu Chunhua, Vice Premier of the State Council of China, has now concurrently served as the commander-in-chief of the National Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters.

Hu Chunhua recently investigated flood control work in Henan, Anhui, and Hubei provinces, and attended a symposium on flood control work held in Wuhan.According to reports, his titles were Vice Premier of the State Council of China and Commander-in-Chief of the National Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters.The report also mentioned that the symposium was chaired by Wang Yong, State Councilor and deputy commander-in-chief of the National Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters.

This is Hu Chunhua's new position after taking over from Wang Yang, former vice premier of the State Council and current chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, who was in charge of poverty alleviation and other work.

The National Defense Command is responsible for leading and organizing the national flood control and drought relief work. The specific work is undertaken by the Ministry of Water Resources. The previous commander-in-chief was concurrently held by the then Vice Premier Wang Yang.

Also serves as the leader of the poverty alleviation and development team

Previously, after Hu Chunhua took over agriculture and rural areas, poverty alleviation work and foreign economic and trade affairs, he also got a new job in the field of poverty alleviation.The China Government website reported on the 21st of this month that the State Council adjusted the composition of the Leading Group for Poverty Alleviation and Development, with Hu Chunhua as the leader.

Judging from Hu Chunhua's current new position, his scope of responsibility is roughly similar to that of Wang Yang. During the latter's tenure as vice premier, he was mainly in charge of agriculture, water conservancy, flood control and drought relief, poverty alleviation and development, business, tourism and other work.

However, when Wang Yang served as vice premier, he was the head of the Chinese side of the China-US Comprehensive Economic Dialogue, and the current position is held by Liu He, vice premier of the State Council and director of the China Finance Office.

At only 55 years old, Hu Chunhua is the youngest of the current vice premiers of the State Council.At this year's National Two Sessions (the annual meeting of the National People's Congress and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference), he was appointed as the vice premier of the State Council while serving as Secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee.

Hu Chunhua, who was once regarded as the sixth-generation political star of the Communist Party of China, failed to become a member of the new Politburo Standing Committee at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The outside world generally believes that he has limited room for political advancement in the short term.With a daunting task, there is still room to grow.According to the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China will ensure that more than 70 million rural poor people will be lifted out of poverty by 2020.
