Liao Yong, CEO of China Petroleum, is an executive.

Liao Yong, the boss of PetroChina, is a minister, but this statement remains to be discussed:

1, the so-called administrative level of state-owned enterprise leaders, its essence is the reflection of the idea of "official standard" in the management of state-owned enterprises. In the era of planned economy, in fact, state-owned enterprises have no administrative level, but most of the "top leaders" are appointed and removed by the Central Organization Department, so they have levels. For example, when many central enterprises were just established, the "number one" was the "deputy ministerial level" and their level was delayed. This kind of communication has even become a common "normal" personnel change.

2. State-owned enterprises can be divided into central enterprises and local state-owned enterprises. Central enterprises are directly managed by SASAC, while local state-owned enterprises are under the jurisdiction of local governments or other central ministries. Their ranks include ministerial level, deputy ministerial level, main hall and deputy hall, main hall and deputy hall.

3. In the list of 1 15 central enterprises listed on the website of SASAC, most of the top 54 enterprises (referring to the chairman, party secretary and general manager) are "deputy ministerial level".

4. However, the "top leaders" of "key state-owned enterprises" are not all "deputy ministerial level", and sometimes they may be "ministerial level". For example, Zhang, former chairman and party secretary of China Commercial Aircraft Co., Ltd., was a minister when he took office, because he served as the director of the Science, Technology and Industry Committee for National Defense.
