About Me

Fang Wei chairs Fangda Group, a conglomerate based in the northeastern province of Liaoning with interests in aviation, pharmaceuticals, steel and new materials. The group controls several listed companies, including Fangda Carbon New Material and Fangda Special Steel Technology. Born in a distressed rural area, Fang helped his family recycle scrap metals when he was young. He later built a sprawling business empire through acquiring financially stressed companies and turning their operations around. His best-known deals include the 2022 investment of $1.6 billion in Hainan Airlines, after former owner HNA Group was forced to downsize amid Beijing's crackdown on debt-fueled acquisitions overseas.
