Li Hongxin is a Chinese businessman, the self-made billionaire Founder and Executive Chairman of China Mengniu Dairy Co., Ltd. (HKSE: 2319), one of China's largest dairy and liquid milk producers. His career is rooted in the essential agri-food and consumer goods sectors.

Li's philosophy centers on scale manufacturing, aggressive marketing, and vertical integration across the entire dairy supply chain. He founded Mengniu Dairy in 1999, recognizing the immense, untapped domestic demand for branded, high-quality milk and dairy products.

• China Mengniu Dairy (Founder & Executive Chairman): The core publicly traded asset, one of China's largest dairy and liquid milk producers (brands include Mengniu Milk).
• Dairy Focus: His success is built on scale manufacturing and brand development in the highly competitive Chinese dairy market.
• Investment Strategy: His philosophy is rooted in long-term investment in agricultural assets and catering to the massive domestic Chinese consumer demand for quality food.
• Controversy: The company was linked to the 2008 melamine scandal (along with Yili), which led to massive food safety concerns and a major industry shakeup.

Li Hongxin's strategic leadership transformed China Mengniu Dairy into a dominant force in the Chinese dairy market. Under his guidance as Chairman, the company expanded aggressively, focusing on high-quality, domestic dairy products to meet rising consumer standards.

His structural contribution is immense: pioneering the industrial scale and efficiency of China's dairy sector. Despite facing the 2008 melamine crisis (which severely damaged the brand but was later overcome through restructuring and renewed quality commitment), the company remains a major force. His wealth is secured by the colossal, long-term, stable profitability of the global food and consumer staples sector.

Li Hongxin's social impact is structural, stemming from China Mengniu Dairy's role in providing essential food and nutritional products (milk, yogurt) to millions of Chinese households.
