Li Chuncheng (Chinese: 李春城; pinyin: Lǐ Chūnchéng; born April 1956) is a former Chinese politician. He spent his early career in Heilongjiang Province, before being transferred to Sichuan in 1998. He served as the Mayor and then Communist Party Secretary of Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province, between 2001 and 2011; then Deputy Party Secretary of Sichuan Province between 2011 and 2012.
Li was dismissed from his positions in December 2012, as the party's internal disciplinary body investigated Li for corruption. He was then expelled from the Communist Party of China, convicted on charges of abuse of power and bribery, and sentenced to 13 years in prison. Li was the first official of sub-provincial rank to be investigated for corruption following the ascension of Xi Jinping at the 18th Party Congress. Li was considered an ally of Zhou Yongkang. Li was an alternate member of the 16th and 18th Central Committees of the Communist Party of China, but failed to be elected to the 17th Central Committee.
Li was born in Haicheng, Liaoning in April 1956. He has a brother, Li Chunming (Chinese: 李春明).
During the Cultural Revolution, Li worked as a sent-down youth (zhiqing) in Shuangcheng County, Heilongjiang. He became involved in politics in April 1973 and he joined the Communist Party of China in February 1978.
Li entered Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) in September 1975, majoring in electric engineering, where he graduated in July 1978. Li then became a lecturer at HIT for the next nine years. In 1987, Li, then 31, left teaching to become the Deputy Secretary, then Secretary, of the Harbin Communist Youth League organization. In 1992, Li became Vice Mayor of Harbin. In December 1998, Li was 'seconded' to work in Sichuan province. He spent the nearly the rest of his career in Chengdu.
