The Hu-Wen Administration (simplified Chinese: 胡温体制; traditional Chinese: 胡溫體制; pinyin: Hu-Wen Tizhi), or Hu-Wen New Administration (simplified Chinese: 胡温新政; traditional Chinese: 胡溫新政; pinyin: Hu-Wen Xinzheng) is the name given to the Chinese leadership that succeeded Jiang Zemin, Li Peng and Zhu Rongji, whose official start date was 2003. Using the two leaders' surnames, it is abbreviated as Hu-Wen (simplified Chinese: 胡温; traditional Chinese: 胡溫)

This phrase is named after the new General Secretary Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao, who are considered the 4th generation Chinese leaders and are viewed as, at least ostensibly, more reform-oriented and more open-minded and have been praised by political observers. Their dominant political ideology is termed the Scientific Development Concept.
