Liu Yongqing (born 3 October 1940), is the wife of Hu Jintao, the former General Secretary of the Communist Party of China and President of the People’s Republic of China.
Traditionally, Liu Yongqing’s role would be primarily domestic, but this is fast changing as Chinese leaders travel abroad more.
Liu had often accompanied her husband on his official trips to foreign countries and has made personal appearances at charities and cultural institutions all over the world.
