Jiang Jiemin

Jiang Jiemin (Chinese: 蒋洁敏; pinyin: Jiǎng Jiémǐn, [tɕjàŋ tɕjěmìn]; born October 1954) is a former Chinese oil executive and senior Communist Party and economic official. He was the general manager and then chairman of the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), before being appointed the director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) in March 2013. He was also a member of the 18th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party. In September 2013, Jiang was abruptly removed from his post and came under investigation for corruption and abuse of power, along with four other senior oil executives. Jiang was considered an ally of former security chief Zhou Yongkang, and part of a group of officials that had political ties with Zhou. In June 2014, Jiang was expelled from the Chinese Communist Party; he was convicted on charges of abuse of power and bribery and sentenced to 16 years in prison.
