Wen Yunsong also known as Winston Wen (Chinese: 温云松) is a Chinese businessman and the only son of current Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao.
After completing an initial education in engineering, Wen successfully established Unihub Global Networks, a telecommunications equipment make, in 1999. By 2001, however, this company had been partially acquired by the Hong Kong telecommunications giant PCCW. Despite the merger, Wen remains listed as Unihub's President and Chief Executive Officer.
Wen later received a Master of Business Administration from the Kellogg School of Management, and went on to found New Horizon Capital in 2005 along with Northwestern University classmate Yu Jianming. This company went on to be remarkably successful in the following years, opening three US Dollar denominated private equity funds attracting some US$1.35 billion in investment while Wen was associated with the firm.[1]
In September 2010, New Horizon reported that Wen had taken a position at the state-owned company China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation the previous year. This disclosure followed a Chinese government decision in January 2010 to block all internet searches in China related to either Wen or New Horizon Capital amid speculation that the PRC government wished to conceal Wen's association with such a large investment fund.
