In the highest echelons, Deng has been supported by Premier Zhao Ziyang and General Secretary Hu Yaobang, but has evidently run into some stiff resistance over the pace of his program from the three other members of the influential Politburo Standing Committee: President Li Xiannian, former Planning Czar Chen Yu and Marshal Ye Jianying, a Communist leader for half a century who may be the last party luminary strong enough to question Deng.
