Hu Wenming (Chinese: 胡问鸣; pinyin: Hú Wènmíng; born May 1957) is a retired Chinese business executive who served as chairman of China State Shipbuilding Corporation between 2012 and 2019. In May 2020, he was placed under investigation by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI).[1] His subordinate, Sun Bo, was placed under investigation for alleged graft and corruption on June 16, 2018.[2]
While initial suspicion focused on graft and corruption, later reports suggested that Sun might have handed over key details of the Liaoning project to CIA agents.
