My Take

What strikes me about Lou Jiwei is how much of modern China's financial machinery passed through his hands without him ever courting the spotlight. Born in Yiwu in 1950 and trained at Tsinghua, he steered the Finance Ministry, the sovereign wealth fund, and the national social security fund, jobs that quietly shape the futures of hundreds of millions. That Russia awarded him the Order of Friendship hints at the trust he earned abroad. I have a soft spot for technocrats like him, the unglamorous stewards who do the heavy lifting while the cameras look elsewhere. He deserves more credit than he gets.
