Zhang Zhinan (Chinese: 张志南; born October 1960) is a former Chinese politician who spent his entire career in southeast China's Fujian province. He was investigated by the Chinese Communist Party's anti-graft agency in April 2020. Previously he served as executive vice governor of Fujian and was also a member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese Communist Party Fujian Provincial Committee.[1] He was a delegate to the 18th and 19th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party. He was a delegate to the 12th National People's Congress. Zhang became the first official at provincial or ministerial level to be investigated by the anti-corruption watchdog in 2020, only seven days earlier than Sun Lijun, former deputy minister of Public Security.[2]
