Early life and education
Hu Haifeng graduated with a degree in Computer Science from Beijing Jiaotong University and EMBA from Tsinghua University School of Economics and Management. He also holds a PhD in Management from Tsinghua University School of Public Policy and Management.[1]
Career
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, he was promoted to Communist Party Secretary of Tsinghua Holdings, which controls Nuctech and more than 20 other companies. He worked in Zhejiang province from 2010 to 2023. In 2016, he became mayor of Jixing City. In July 2018, he was appointed CCP Committee Secretary of Lishui.[2][3]
