David Li

Sir David Li Kwok-po GBM GBS OBE JP (Chinese: 李國寶; born 13 March 1939, London, England) is a Hong Kong banker and politician.

David's cousins include the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal's first Chief Justice Andrew Li Kwok-nang.

In addition, he is chairman of the Chinese Banks Association Ltd.[7] On 1 May 2007, News Corporation made a public announcement of its bid for Dow Jones & Company.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission filed an initial complaint seven days later naming Wong Kan-king and his wife Charlotte, both residents of Hong Kong, as defendants after its investigation of suspicious share price movements in the run-up to the announcement.

The SEC alleged that the couple purchased 415,000 shares through a Merrill Lynch Hong Kong account between 13 and 30 April,[8] and had reaped a US$8.2 million profit on disposal following announcement of the bid.

The SEC alleged that Li had informed his close friend and business associate Michael Leung, who in turn told his daughter and son-in-law.

[11] Several other legislators added to the pressure for Li to relinquish his cabinet (Exco) position,[7][12] although there are divergent views on his continued LegCo membership.
