Liu Zhijun 刘志军
The guy did a lot of things for China.
As Railway Minister, Liu oversaw numerous expansions of China's railway system, most notably the rapid development of China's high-speed railway.
In early 2007, China has 0 km of HSR. By 2014, China has world longest HSR, and is expected to reach 18,000 km (11,000 mi) by the end of 2015.
Morover Liu has develop PRC HSR technology through technology transfer from Siemens, Shinkansen, Bombardier...etc. Liu is the hero of developing PRC manufacturing in R&D in HSR.
In April 2013, Zhijun was arrested on corruption charges for allegedly taking bribes and abusing his power as Minister of Railways. He was convicted and received a death sentence with reprieve in July 2013. The court found Liu guilty of around USD10 millions of embezzelment -- a very tiny sum in compared to others.
While Liu has left, HSR remains and is now among the top diplomatic weapon of PRC. It also speed up urbanization and development of cities.
