Bo Xiyong, the eldest brother of ousted Chongqing party chief Bo Xilai, apparently remains a vice-chairman of China Everbright International - but it seems he also goes by another name.
Bo, who is also an executive director at the Hong Kong-listed renewable energy firm, seems to use the name of 'Li Xueming', company documents show. However, the company's chief executive, Chen Xiaoping, declined to confirm or deny Bo's identity at a briefing following its annual meeting yesterday.
Well-connected mainlanders often use an assumed name overseas to protect their identity.
Despite repeated questions from reporters to confirm that Li is indeed Bo, Chen was evasive, saying only that Li had several names and behaved in a 'low-key manner'.
But the government website of Shanxi province listed Bo - under his original name of Bo Xiyong - as an executive director and deputy general manager of China Everbright Group. The company is the parent of Everbright International.
Intriguingly, a 2011 Everbright annual report lists Li Xueming as an executive director and deputy general manager of China Everbright Group.
