Jiang Mianheng
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. Jiang is one of the co-founders of Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC), located in Shanghai. He holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Drexel University,[1] where his father went for a visit in 1997.[2] Jiang also served as one of the head researchers for the Chinese space program. In 2007, he failed to win his nomination as a delegate to the 17th Party Congress. Reuters indicated that this was a sign that the Shanghai Clique under the auspices of his father had lost its power.
He served as one of the Vice Presidents in the Chinese Academy of Sciences up until November 2011.[3][4]
Jiang heads China's project to develop a liquid fluoride thorium reactor.[5]
