Wang Huning (simplified Chinese: 王沪宁; traditional Chinese: 王滬寧; pinyin: Wáng Hùníng; born October 6, 1955) is Chinese political theorist and one of the top leaders of the Communist Party of China, and a current member of the party's Politburo. He served as secretary of the Secretariat of the Communist Party of China Central Committee between 2007 and 2012, and as the head of Central Policy Research Office since 2002. Wang is believed to have been one of the principal theorists behind the official political ideologies of three administrations: "Three Represents" by Jiang Zemin, the Scientific Development Concept by Hu Jintao, and the Chinese Dream of Xi Jinping.
Born in Shanghai, Wang traces his heritage to Ye County, Shandong province. Wang's name, "Huning", literally means "peaceful Shanghai". Wang was recommended to enter East China Normal University in 1974 to study the French language. He was enrolled in the Department of International Politics at Fudan University in 1977 to pursue his postgraduate degree, while conducting research for the Shanghai Academy of Social Science. His mentors were Chen Qiren and Wang Bangzuo. After graduation, Wang stayed at Fudan University, and by 1985 was named professor of law at age 30, becoming the youngest law professor in the history of the university.
