Profile: China ushers in new cabinet leadership (7)

As the youngest vice premier, the 58-year-old Wang Yang is the only vice premier born after the founding of the New China. Wang became vice governor of Anhui Province at 38, the youngest vice governor in the country at that time. In 1999, Wang served as deputy head of the National Development and Planning Commission and later deputy secretary-general of the State Council. In 2005, Wang became secretary of the CPC Chongqing Municipal Commitee.

When joining a delegation from Anhui Province in deliberating the government work report delivered to the National People's Congress this year, Wang said that among the 11 aspects mentioned in the report, the key would be to remove institutional obstacles that hinder development.

"If the reforms 30 years ago solved the issue of ideology, now we have come to the issue of interests. Reform is like cutting one's own flesh, so we need great determination," said Wang.
