A Media Boss' Balancing Act

(Beijing) – Li Ruigang is well-known in China's media industry for his 10-year tenure as president of the Shanghai Media Group (SMG) and his pioneering spirit.

He is also remembered for resigning from a high-ranking Communist Party post to return to his chosen field.

On August 7, Li appeared at the signing ceremony in Shanghai for a Sino-U.S. joint venture animation studio called Oriental Dreamworks. Establishing the studio was one of his first big moves since quitting his party post and returning to the industry in February.
