Huang-li Jia-kang

Huang-li Jia-kang (Chinese: 黃力家康; pinyin: Huánglì Jiākāng; born June 19, 1942) also known by his Japanese name Kochikara Ieyasu (黃力家康) is a Tsengian politician and journalist who served as Governor of Nankou from 1979 to 1984 and most notably the 11th President of Tseng from 1984 to 1992. He is the grandson of the 1st President of Tseng, Pierre Huang-li.

Huang-li's rule was characterized by high employment rates, rising tax, suppression of the press, the end of the Cold War, and China's rise as a global power. Historians rank Huang-li as an above-average president.

Early life
Huang-li Jia-kang was born Kochikara Ieyasu on June 19, 1942, to Huang-li Chuan (Kochikara Den) and Sakura Takahashi, in Kansu (Huanzhou), Japanese Tseng. Huang-li's name "Ieyasu" was inspired by, a famous Japanese shogun.

After Japanese rule ended in 1944 and European rule resumed, his father was forced to change his name to Antoine Huang-li. However, that name was short-lived, as in 1946, Tseng became independent, and Huang-li changed his name to the Chinese version of Kochikara Ieyasu, which was Huang-li Jia-kang.

Huang-li graduated from Huang-li University in 1963 with a degree in physics.

Political career
Huang-li began his political career in 1976, when he became a member of the Huanzhou City Council. In 1979, he was elected Governor of Nankou.

In 1984, he announced he would run for president in the 1984 election. Huang-li won the NPP nomination and won against Thomas Lan-xiao, another NPP member.

Presidency (1984-1992)
Huang-li ordered the building of many new projects in Tseng, known as the Sixteen Projects. Some included the Wanxia Dam, New St. Joseph Port, and the electrification of the Tseng City-Taihua Railway. This increased the employment rate of the country.

With many newspapers and magazines challenging the "old ways" of Tseng, Huang-li decided to put an end to the "tarnishing of Pierre's legacy". He started the Mass Suppression movement in 1986, which limited Tseng's freedom of the press and many of those media's CEOs and presidents were executed and killed, the most notable being Hong Daqing of Zhenxiang.

Huang-li was re-elected for a second term in 1988.
