GSK denial by daughter of former Party chief
Print Edition
The daughter of former Chinese leader Hu Yaobang has denied any connection to an investigation into bribery by UK drug giant GlaxoSmithKline.
Li Heng, the daughter of Hu, Party chief for most the 1980s, issued a statement following online posts about her alleged involvement in the ongoing investigation.
She said she left GSK in late January of 2007 and had had no business dealings with the company since then.
Li, the youngest of Hu’s four children, adopted her mother’s surname.
She is believed to have worked for GSK from the mid-1990s to early 2007 and acted as the firm’s corporate affairs director for China’s mainland and Hong Kong.
The statement, dated July 26, first appeared on the verified Sina microblog account of KDNet, an online community affiliated to the Nanfang Media Group, and was then widely circulated.
The statement was not signed but it said it was issued on behalf of Li and her family.
In it, Li also denied reports about owning luxury villas in downtown Beijing. “Li and her husband have been paying for the rent of their apartment in Beijing and they don’t own any property of any kind in any place,” the statement said.
