Later, he served as the deputy-director of the Economic Commission of Ürümqi (1986–1992), Assistant to Mayor of Ürümqi (1992–1994), Deputy Director-General of the Economic and Trade Committee of Xinjiang (1994–1997), Director General and Deputy Secretary of Electronics Industry Department of Xinjiang (1997–1999), Secretary-General of Xinjiang Autonomous Region People's Government (1999–2001),[1] Vice-chairman of Xinjiang Autonomous Region People's Government (2001–2008), and deputy-director of the Standing Committee of the Xinjiang People's Congress (2008–2013).[2][3]
