Sixth Generation
Provided China's power transitions and government institutions remain stable in the next decade, the sixth generation of leaders will come to power at the 20th Party Congress in 2022. Under current unspoken Chinese political conventions the leaders of this generation would be mostly born in the 1960s, and speculated future leaders were born from 1960 to 1967. China specialists believe this is the generation where significant political reform will take place after economic growth has been stabilized. Current speculation places former Communist Youth League head and current Inner Mongolia party chief Hu Chunhua as a possible core figure. Jilin party chief Sun Zhengcai has also been named. U.S.-based news portal Duowei also listed Fujian Governor Su Shulin, Hunan party chief Zhou Qiang, ACAC consortium CEO Zhang Qingwei, and CYL head Lu Hao as other potential figures in this generation of leadership.
