Li Jianping (Chinese: 李建平; pinyin: Lǐ Jiànpíng; born May 1960) is a former Chinese politician who spent most of his career in Hohhot, capital of Inner Mongolia. He was investigated by the Chinese Communist Party's internal control and anti-graft agency, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, in September 2018. Previously he served as secretary of the Party Working Committee of Hohhot Economic and Technological Development Zone. He embezzled and accepted bribes of more than 3 billion yuan ($469.3 million), becoming the "largest corrupt official" since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949. His case was classified as the "largest case so far in the history of corruption in Inner Mongolia".
