Liu Zhaohua (Chinese: 刘招华; 5 March 1965 – 15 September 2009) was a Chinese drug lord known for producing and trafficking 12–31 tonnes[Notes 1] of methamphetamine.[1][7][6] The amount Liu made was worth more than US$5.5 billion.[7][4] This made Liu one of the biggest drug lords in China. A reward of RMB200,000 (around US$24,160) was offered for information leading to his arrest.[2]

Liu was arrested on 5 March 2005, sentenced to death on 26 June 2006, and executed on 15 September 2009.[7][4][2]
