Li Xiaolin is a Chinese businesswoman. She is the CEO of China Power International Development (SEHK: 2380). She is the only daughter of former Chinese Premier Li Peng and his wife Zhu Lin.[1] She was trained as a power generation engineer at Tsinghua University.

Li claims to have spent time as a visiting scholar at the MIT Sloan School of Management, however MIT stated that the only record it has of attendance by a student with Li’s name was enrollment in a “non-degree short course” open to anyone who has “intellectual curiosity” and pays $7,500 for 15 days of classes.[2] Currently, she is the only female CEO of a Hong Kong Stock Exchange-listed company.[3] She is also a member of the Copenhagen Climate Council. In 2008, she was named one of the 50 most powerful women in business by Fortune magazine.[4] In 2012, Li was conferred with Tamgha-e-Pakistan (Medal of Pakistan).[5]

In 2014, a data leak from British Virgin Islands-based companies obtained by the think tank ICIJ proved that Li Xiaolin had hidden assets from authorities offshore in the British Virgin Islands. She is listed as the director of the BVI shell companies Tianwo Holdings Ltd and Tianwo Development Ltd since 2005.[6]

Education

Li obtained a Master of Engineering degree in Power System and Automation from Tsinghua University.[7]
