Gu Chunli (Chinese: 谷春立; pinyin: Gŭ Chūnlì; born July 1957) is a former Chinese politician who spent most of his career in Northeast China's Liaoning province. He was investigated by the Communist Party of China's anti-graft agency in August 2015. He previously served as the Vice-Governor of Jilin.

Life and career[edit]

Gu was born in Changchun, Jilin, in July 1957.

During the Down to the Countryside Movement, he was a Sent-down youth and worked in Changtan Township, Liaozhong County.

After the Cultural Revolution, he was accepted to Northeast Engineering Institute (now Northeastern University) in 1978 and graduated in 1982, where he majored in Mechanical Engineering.

He began his political career in August 1975, and joined the Communist Party of China in 1984.

Beginning in 1982, he served in several posts in Shenyang Chemical Plant, including secretary, deputy director, and section chief. Then he served in various posts in Liaoning provincial government before serving as assistant mayor of Shenyang in 2002.

In 2005, he was transferred to Anshan and appointed the Vice-Mayor and Deputy Communist Party Secretary. And five years later promoted to the Communist Party Secretary position.

He was promoted to Vice-Governor of Jilin in 2013.

On August 1, 2015, the Communist Party's anti-corruption agency announced that Gu Chunli was placed under investigation.[1] On August 7, 2015, he was removed from his posts by the Organization Department of the Communist Party of China.[2]

Gu was the first provincial-level official from Jilin to be sacked since the anti-corruption campaign began in 2012.[3]

He was a delegate to the 11th National People's Congress.
