Liu Tienan (Chinese: 刘铁男; born October 1954) is a former Chinese politician and senior economic official. He served as the Director of the National Energy Administration between 2011 and 2013, the deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) from 2008 to 2011, and deputy director of the Revitalizing Old Industrial Bases in Northeast China Special Working Group[3] between 2006 and 2008.
In 2013, Liu was investigated and dismissed for corruption-related offenses. In December 2014, Liu was convicted on charges of bribery, and sentenced to life in prison. Several other politicians working with Liu at the NDRC, including Xu Yongsheng and Wei Pengyuan, were charged with corruption as well, with Wei being given the death penalty.[4]
