	Zhou Zhengyi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zhou Zhengyi (Chinese: 周正毅) (born 1961) is a prominent businessman based in Shanghai, People's Republic of China.
		Zhou's involvement in China's newly re-established stock markets and his trading in copper futures brought about his wealth, that enabled him to move into and capitalise upon the volatile Shanghainese real estate boom.
		Speculation on Zhou's arrest is centred upon high-level corruption in Shanghai, which may involve protégés of China's former president, Jiang Zemin.

	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Zhou Dynasty (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		In the Chinese historical tradition, the rulers of the Zhou displaced the Yin and legitimized their rule by invoking the Mandate of Heaven, the notion that the ruler (the "son of heaven") governed by divine right but that his dethronement would prove that he had lost the mandate.
		The Zhou dynasty was founded by the Ji family and had its capital at Hao (near the present-day city of Xi'an).
		In Western histories, the Zhou period is often described as feudal because the Zhou's early decentralized rule invites comparison with medieval rule in Europe.

		When Zhou became Premier, Huang became mayor of Shanghai in 1991 and then city's Party chief in 1994, which he served until October 2002.
		Zhou Zhengyi was eventually charged with multiple counts of fraud, but was only sentenced to three years in prison.
