Hu Chunhua (Chinese: 胡春华; pinyin: Hú Chūnhuá, born April 1963) is a politician of the People's Republic of China. He is currently the Communist Party Secretary of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the region's top position. Hu has worked in Tibet for much of his political career and ascended the party ranks partly through the Communist Youth League. Due to the similarities in his career profile to president Hu Jintao, Hu has been referred to by media as the "little Hu". He became China's youngest governor when he took the position in Hebei province in 2008. As one of the youngest provincial-level leaders, Hu is seen as a promising candidate for the sixth-generation leaders of the Communist Party.[1]
