Chen Zhenggao (Chinese: 陈政高; Chinese: 陳政高; pinyin: Chén Zhènggāo; born March 1952) is the current governor of Liaoning in the People's Republic of China.
Chen was born in Haicheng, Liaoning Province of China. He was the mayor of Shenyang, the capital of Liaoning. In December 2005, he was appointed as the secretary of CPC's Shenyang City committee. On December 22, 2007, the standing committee of Liaoning people's congress accepted the request of resignation of Zhang Wenyue as the governor of Liaoning, and appointed Chen Zhenggao as the vice governor. The committee also decided Chen became the acting Governor of Liaoning people's government.
In 2009, amidst the ongoing global financial crisis, Chen led a group of over 200 officials on a business trip to Japan, where they spent a total of 50 million yen (roughly $500,000US) on dining and related expenses.[1]
He is an alternate member of CPC's 17th central committee.
