# Hu–Wen Administration

The Hu–Wen Administration was the Chinese leadership of general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Chinese president Hu Jintao, and Chinese premier Wen Jiabao. Hu and Wen officially succeeded Jiang Zemin, Li Peng and Zhu Rongji in 2002. Using the two leaders' surnames, it is abbreviated as Hu–Wen.
Hu and Wen are considered the fourth generation Chinese leaders and are viewed as, at least ostensibly, more reform-oriented and more open-minded. Hu's contributions to the CCP ideology are officially termed the Scientific Outlook on Development.
