Rong Yiren President

Rong Yiren (simplified Chinese: 荣毅仁; traditional Chinese: 榮毅仁; pinyin: Róng Yìrén; Wade–Giles: Jung Yi-Jen) (May 1, 1916 – October 26, 2005) was the Vice President of the People's Republic of China from 1993 to 1998 and was heavily involved with the opening of the Chinese economy to western investment. Rong is known both in China and in the West as "the Red Capitalist" because his family were some of the few pre-1949 industrialists to have been treated well by the Communist party of China in return for their co-operation with the government of the People's Republic of China.
