Guo Ningning (Chinese: 郭宁宁; born July 1970) is a Chinese politician and banker currently serving as communist party secretary of Fuzhou and also as vice-governor of southeast China's Fujian province.[1] Guo has been tipped as a rising star in the "7th Generation" of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).[2]

Biography[edit]

Guo was born in July 1970 in Shenyang, Liaoning,[3][4] and graduated from the Tsinghua University School of Economics and Management.

After university, she served in several posts in the Bank of China before serving as vice-president of the Agricultural Bank of China in June 2016. She is the first female vice-president of the Agricultural Bank of China since it was established in 1951.[5]

In October 2018, she was transferred to Fuzhou, capital of southeast China's Fujian province, where she became a member of the CCP's Fujian Provincial Committee.[6] On 23 November 2018, Guo was appointed vice-governor of Fujian at the Seventh Meeting of the 13th Standing Committee of the People's Congress of Fujian. She became the youngest female provincial-ranked level official in Chinese mainland.[7][8]

In 2020, Guo participated in an online campaign to promote Fujian's seafood and ate an eel on a livestream that got more than one million views.[9]

In October 2021, Guo was elevated to executive vice-governor of Fujian and was admitted to member of the CCP Fujian Provincial Committee, the province's top authority.[10] On 6 May 2024, she succeeded Lin Baojin [zh] as party secretary of Fuzhou, capital of Fujian province.[10]

In 2021, she was included in the Time 100 Next list.[9]
