Huang Hongsheng

Huang Hongsheng (born 1956) is a Chinese entrepreneur, founder and former chairman and major shareholder of Skyworth Digital, and a real estate developer. He has served as a member of the 10th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, the 8th Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, and as a standing committee member of the 3rd Shenzhen Municipal Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.

Huang was born on Hainan Island, China. He graduated from South China University of Technology with a degree in Radio Engineering and began his career at the South China Electronics Import and Export Corporation as assistant engineer, rising within three years to executive vice general manager at age 26.

In 1988, Huang moved to Hong Kong to start his own business, initially trading electronic products. He then shifted to mainland China–based production and sales of television sets and founded Skyworth Digital. In 2000, the company went public in Hong Kong as an internet concept stock, raising HK$1 billion.

On 13 July 2006, Huang and his younger brother Huang Peisheng, a former executive director of Skyworth, were sentenced to six years in prison for conspiracy to misappropriate and defraud over HK$50 million from Skyworth Digital.

After his release in 2010, during a period of global television production decline, Skyworth’s revenue grew by 34 percent. Huang also pursued a strategy of spin‑off listings to create internal entrepreneurial opportunities within his team.
