Rong Yiren
May 1, 1916 – October 26, 2005
Rong Yiren (1916–2005) was Vice President of China from 1993 to 1998 and was heavily involved with the opening of the Chinese economy to western investment. His family were among the few pre-1949 Shanghai industrialists to have been treated well by the Chinese Communist Party in return for their cooperation, and he became known both in China and in the West as "the Red Capitalist."
