Li Chuncheng (Chinese: 李春城; pinyin: Lǐ Chūnchéng; born April 1956) is a former Chinese politician. He spent his early career in Heilongjiang Province, before being transferred to Sichuan in 1998. He served as the Mayor and then Party Secretary of Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province, between 2001 and 2011. He then served as Deputy Party Secretary of Sichuan Province between 2011 and 2012. Li was dismissed from his positions in December 2012, as the party's internal disciplinary body investigated Li for corruption. He was then expelled from the Chinese Communist Party, convicted on charges of abuse of power and bribery, and sentenced to 13 years in prison. Li was the first official of sub-provincial rank to be investigated for corruption following the ascension of Xi Jinping at the 18th Party Congress. Li was considered an ally of Zhou Yongkang. Li was an alternate member of the 16th and 18th Central Committees of the Chinese Communist Party, but failed to be elected to the 17th Central Committee.
