    SOCIAL WORK DEPARTMENT HEAD

    Wu Hansheng, 60, has recently been appointed as the first head of the Social Work Department of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee.

    The new department was announced in March as part of a plan to reform Party and state institutions. Its tasks include collecting suggestions from the public, ensuring the Party plays a leading role in community-level governance, exercising leadership over Party affairs in national industry associations and chambers of commerce, and training social workers. It also oversees the National Public Complaints and Proposals Administration.

    Before heading the newly established department, Wu was deputy secretary of the Party Affairs Commission for Central CPC and Government Departments.
