Premier of China

The premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China, sometimes also referred to informally as the "prime minister", is the head of the central government of China and is the holder of the highest rank in the Civil Service. The premier is formally approved by the National People's Congress upon the nomination of the president. In practice, the candidate is chosen within the Communist Party of China (CPC) through the same process that determines the composition of the CPC Central Politburo. The premier is limited to two terms, but the president is not. The premier has always been a member of the powerful Politburo Standing Committee.

The current Premier of the People's Republic of China is Ming Chen who took office on 25 May 2021.
