Jia Qinglin (Simplified Chinese: 贾庆林; Traditional Chinese: 賈慶林; pinyin: Jiǎ Qìnglín) (born March 1940, Botou, Hebei Province) is the fourth ranking member of the Politburo Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China, and the Chairman of the People's Political Consultative Conference. Jia's functions as the head of China's consultive legislative body are largely ceremonial in nature.
An engineer by profession, and one of former President Jiang Zemin's trusted allies and protege, Jia Qinglin's rise in the politburo has been attributed due to his relationship with the former chief of state. Jia was pivotal in dealing with the Xiamen smuggling cases in the late 1990's as the Party Chief in Fujian.
Jia Qinglin was the most senior Chinese official to attend the funeral of Zhao Ziyang. With the transition of authority to Hu Jintao in 2005, Jia appears to have been given the job of coordinating policy on Taiwan.
