Huang Ju

Huang Ju (黄菊, py: Huáng Jú) (born September 1939) is a Vice Premier of the People's Republic of China. He is ranked 6th out of 9 in the Politburo Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China. With very close relations with his patron Jiang Zemin, he is considered a member of the "Shanghai clique".

Born in Jiashan, Zhejiang Province, Huang graduated in electrical engineering from Qinghua University.

Huang became mayor of Shanghai in 1991 and then city's Party chief in 1994, which he served until October 2002.

He was criticized by political rivals in February 1995, when his daughter, Huang Fan (黄凡), married Fang Yiwei (方以伟), the son of Fang Dachuan (方大川), a pro-Taiwan newspaperman in San Francisco.

Huang is widely regarded as being unremarkable as a leader and lacking an impressive track record, owing his rise to power to Jiang Zemin.
