About

China Power International Development is the core subsidiary for the conventional energy business of State Power Investment Corporation, and the only integrated energy group which simultaneously owns coal-fired power, hydropower, nuclear power and renewable energy resources in the People’s Republic of China. As general counsel for the company for over 10 years, Xu Wei has demonstrated her pedigree in delivering legal services with an extremely business-focused approach. At the heart of her success has been negotiating and executing large transnational deals with her legal team. The deals include the issuance of commercial papers worth hundreds of millions of dollars in the US and in 2010 a 20-year sales agreement with Resourcehouse, the Australian coal and iron-ore project developer worth $60bn and Australia’s largest export contract at the time. Prior to her current position Xu worked for China’s Ministry of Finance where she was recognised as an “Excellent Enterprise Counsel” by the state-owned Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council for her work in managing documents related to the reform of state owned assets. Xu has also been a partner and a lawyer of Beijing Han Hua Law Firm. She gained her bachelor degree in politics from the China University of Political Science and Law and an LLM from Peking University.
