Li Xiaolin, the “power whore.” (Artist: Badiucao<\/a>)<\/p><\/div>\n

Nickname for Li Xiaolin<\/a>, daughter of former premier Li Peng<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Li followed in her father’s footsteps to study power generation, serving until 2015 as CEO of China Power International Development Ltd., a Hong Kong-listed arm of China’s state-owned power monopoly and subsidiary of the China Power Investment Corporation (CPI). She was transferred to vice presidency of the China Datang Corporation<\/a> in June 2015.<\/p>\n

Li is also a deputy of National People’s Congress, where in 2012 she was ridiculed for appearing in a luxury suit, jewelry, and handbag<\/a>. She has attributed her success to her own efforts<\/a>, rather than her family background. But her attire<\/a> and general ostentation<\/a> continue to draw netizen ridicule.
