Jiang Mianheng

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a Chinese name; the family name is Jiang.

Jiang Mianheng (simplified Chinese: 江绵恒; traditional Chinese: 江綿恆; pinyin: Jiāng Miánhéng; born 1952 in Shanghai) is the son of Jiang Zemin, former General Secretary of the Communist Party of China and President of the People's Republic of China. His mother is Wang Yeping. Jiang is one of the co-founders of Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, located in Shanghai.[1] He holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Drexel University,[2] where his father went for a visit in 1997.[3] Jiang also served as one of the head researchers for the Chinese space program. In 2007, he failed to win nomination as a delegate to the 17th Party Congress. Reuters indicated that this was a sign that the Shanghai Clique under his father's auspices had lost its power.

He served as one of the Vice Presidents in the Chinese Academy of Sciences up until November 2011.[4][5] At that point, Jiang Mianheng was stripped of his post and accused of bribery and embezzlement in a stock bidding scandal and the misallocation of public funds.[6]

Upon his return to China in 1993, Jiang Mianheng has headed a number of national research programs in alternative energy and other technologies: "coal liquefaction, electric cars, mobile phone networks, particle accelerators, spaceships and lunar satellites,"[7] and liquid fluoride thorium reactors.
