About Richard Qiangdong Liu

Richard Liu, who also goes by Liu Qiangdong, is the founder, chairman and chief executive officer of Chinese e-commerce firm JD.com.

Liu was arrested in Minneapolis in August 2018 for alleged sexual misconduct, but the county attorney did not pursue charges after an investigation.

Liu opened a retail shop in 1998, but closed it six years later and moved the business online.

JD.com has alliances with both Tencent and Walmart, which in turn own stakes in the company.

It's also focusing on delivery, and has developed several models of drones to carry packages to rural villages.
