Zheng Zeguang

Zheng Zeguang (; born October 1963) is a Chinese diplomat serving as the Chinese Ambassador to the United Kingdom, and former Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs of China.

Biography Zheng was born in October 1963 in Nanjing village in Guangdong Province of China. His father was a buyer for the Meitang people's commune.

After the Cultural Revolution ended and schools reopened, Zheng enrolled himself into Puning No. 2 High School and Puning County Normal College, a high-school-level teacher training college, in 1978. He joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1986 and has had placements in Trinidad and Tobago and the United States. Zheng is considered an expert on China–United States relations, having specialised in that field since 1990; he was thought to be a leading contender to be ambassador to the United States.

As of September 2021, he is banned from the British Parliament while Chinese sanctions on British MPs remain.

He was appointed as a member of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference on 17 January 2023 from the Friendship with Foreign Countries Sector.

He was summoned by the UK Foreign Office in May 2024 after three individuals in the UK were charged with assisting the foreign intelligence service of Hong Kong.
