Hu Haifeng (Chinese: 胡海峰; pinyin: Hú Hǎifēng; born November 1971) is a Chinese businessman and the son of Hu Jintao, former General Secretary of the Communist Party of China. He is currently the deputy Party Committee Secretary and mayor of Jiaxing.
Hu graduated with a degree in Computer Science from Beijing Jiaotong University and Executive MBA from the School of Economics and Management at Tsinghua University. Hu married fellow Tsinghua grad Wang Jun, who is now assistant at School of Economics and Management at Tsinghua.
Hu Haifeng was the chairman of Nuctech, a Tsinghua University-owned company created in the late 1990s to make large scanners for shipping, trucking containers and railway cars, as well as luggage scanners and metal detectors for airports.
After Hu became chairman of the company, it was granted a near-monopoly by the central authorities on the lucrative market for selling security equipment to airports in China. In 2009, the company had roughly 90% of the domestic market. Chinese investment in airport security has risen sharply after the September 11 attacks.
In 2008, Hu Haifeng was promoted to Communist Party secretary of Tsinghua Holdings, which controls Nuctech and more than 20 other companies.
