Hu Qili (simplified Chinese: 胡启立; traditional Chinese: 胡啟立; pinyin: Hú Qǐlì; born October 1929 in Yulin, Shaanxi) is a politician of the People's Republic of China.

Biography

In 1948 at the age of 19, Hu joined the Communist Party of China (CPC). He studied at Peking University from 1946-1951. While enrolled, Hu served as president of All-China Students' Federation, and graduated as a Minister of Electronics Industry.

After the death of former general secretary Hu Yaobang, he opposed the "4-26 Editorial" and refused to vote in favour of the martial law (at least he didn't vote). However, Hu was much less fortunate than Qiao Shi, the other member of the CPC Politburo Standing Committee who opposed the use of force by not voting: unlike Qiao Shi who retained his post, Hu was then kicked out from the Politburo Standing Committee after the fall of general secretary Zhao Ziyang. After he "changed his opinion", he was appointed vice-minister of Machine-Building and Electronics Industry with the help of Wan Li.

Work experience

Following his graduation,

from 1956 to 1966, he was Alternate Member of Secretariat of Communist Youth League Central Committee.
from 1978 to 1980, he was a member of the Secretariat of Communist Youth League Central Committee, and president of the All-China Youth Federation.
between 1980 and 1982, he was Party secretary and mayor of Tianjin.
from 1982 to 1987, he was director of General Office, a member of the Secretariat and a member of the Political Bureau of CPC Central Committees.
from 1987 to 1989, he served as a member and Standing Committee member of the Political Bureau as well as Secretariat member of the CPC Central Committee.
from 1991 to 1993, he was vice minister and member of the Ministry of Machine-Building and Electronics Industry.

Significance

Hu Qili was known as a reformer during the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. As Jonathan Mirsky writes in the New York Review of Books, "The other member was Hu Qili, who had been sympathetic to Zhao's views on reform.".^[1]
