Li Jiping (; born September 1955) is a retired Chinese banker who held the position of vice governor at the China Development Bank from 2008 until his retirement in 2016. In 2024, he was removed from the Chinese Communist Party.
Early life and education
Born in September 1955 in Dalian, Liaoning, Li pursued higher education beginning in 1979 at Liaoning College of Finance and Economics (currently known as Dongbei University of Finance and Economics), where he specialized in infrastructure finance and credit.
Career
Following his graduation in 1983, Li spent over eleven years working at the China Construction Bank. He transitioned to the China Development Bank in 1994, initially serving as deputy director of both its Office and Policy Research Office. In 2004, he assumed the role of governor for the Sichuan Branch, and by 2006, he advanced to dean and deputy director of the Personnel Bureau. His promotion to vice governor came in September 2008, a role he fulfilled until January 2016.
Downfall
On 13 March 2024, Li became subject to an investigation conducted by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) and the National Supervisory Commission due to allegations of "serious violations of laws and regulations." This inquiry followed similar investigations into his former colleagues Zhou Qingyu and Wang Yongsheng, who were also former vice governors disgraced in 2023. Additionally, his former superior, Hu Huaibang, was dismissed for corruption in 2019. Subsequently, on 1 August 2024, Li was officially expelled from the Chinese Communist Party.
