Qin Guangrong
Qin Guangrong (Chinese: 秦光荣; pinyin: Qín Guāngróng; born 25 December 1950) is a Chinese former politician. He served as the Governor of Yunnan from 2007 to 2011, when he became the Party Secretary of Yunnan, Yunnan's top political office, until October 2014. He last served as deputy chair of the committee on internal legal affairs of the National People's Congress, from 2014 to 2018. He is the first leader of provincial level to spontaneously hand himself in to the anti-corruption agency of China.
His son, Qin Ling, was a former chairman of Huarong Investment Stock Corp and came under investigation as part of the corruption scandal at the Huarong Asset Management Co. Ltd., one of China's four state-run bad-asset disposal companies.
Qin was born in Yongzhou, Hunan on 25 December 1950. He attended Hengyang Normal University, majoring in Chinese language.
After graduating, he was dispatched to the Lingling campus of Hunan Normal University. He then entered the Communist Youth League system as a provincial functionary, eventually working his way up to leading positions. In June 1993, he became party chief of Changsha at the age of 38; a year later he joined the provincial party standing committee.
In January 1999, he was transferred to the southwestern province of Yunnan to become the provincial Political and Legal Affairs secretary, then cycled through the offices of organization department head, executive vice governor, and Deputy Party Secretary. He was first appointed the governor of Yunnan in January 2007. He was re-elected as Governor by the Yunnan Provincial People's Congress on 24 January 2008.
Qin was named the Party Secretary for Yunnan in November 2011.
In mid September 2013, Qin led a delegation of more than 200 people to visit Taiwan. While in Taiwan, Qin met with the former chairman of Kuomintang, Wu Po-hsiung. During the meeting, Qin encouraged Taiwanese businessmen to invest in Yunnan and make use of the province as the gateway to Southeast Asia and South Asia, creating business opportunities. He added that Yunnan welcomes Taiwanese farmers, township wardens, teachers, students, media and religious and business representatives.
In 2014, a large number of corruption investigations were opened in Yunnan province, involving former provincial party chief Bai Enpei, former provincial governor Shen Peiping, and former Kunming executive vice mayor Li Xi. Zhang Tianxin, the former party chief of the provincial capital, Kunming, was also demoted as a result of a party investigation. As part of the overall efforts to get to the bottom of corruption cases in the province, Qin Guangrong was asked to step down as party chief in October 2014. Before he left his post he was said to have told his subordinates, "I am going to go somewhere else to work now. Thank you for everything." Subsequently, Qin was named Vice Chair of the internal legal affairs committee of the National People's Congress.
