The Deputy Secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China (Chinese: 中国共产党中央纪律检查委员会副书记) is the deputy to the Secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Normally there are several people serving as deputy secretary at any given time. As a rule of thumb, the deputy secretaries of the CCDI are ranked at the same level as a minister of the state; however, if they also hold seats on the Secretariat of the Central Committee, as was the case with He Yong and Zhao Hongzhu, then they are ranked one level higher, as a deputy national leader.
