Li Qingwei
Chinese politician
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Li Qingwei (Chinese: 李庆伟; 1920 – October 18, 1994) was a People's Republic of China politician. He was born in Xingtai, Hebei Province. He joined the Chinese Communist Party in 1937. He was governor of Shaanxi Province from 1983 to 1986,[1] and vice head of the Development Research Center of the State Council in China.
While in office, Li hosted foreign dignitaries such as Ronald Reagan and Queen Elizabeth II.[2][3] These visits were spurred by the then recently discovered Terracotta Army archaeological site, and replicas of the statues were presented as gifts.
