Vice Chairperson of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference
The Vice Chairperson of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference is a political office in the People's Republic of China. The official responsibility of the Vice Chairpersons is to assist the Chairperson of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference with the leadership of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Standing Committee. News reports have also suggested that the position of CPPCC Vice Chairperson, as a state-level post with a retirement age of 70, has been used as a device to extend the services of valued officials beyond the typical retirement age for their position. The appointment of People's Bank of China Governor Zhou Xiaochuan as a Vice Chairperson in 2013 was said to be for this purpose, and the Chinese leadership may be considering a similar appointment for Minister of Finance Lou Jiwei.
