Jin Zhizhen, a prominent political adviser in China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, is currently under investigation for suspected severe breaches of Party discipline and national laws. The announcement was made on Saturday by the Communist Party of China Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Commission of Supervision, the country’s top anti-corruption bodies. The investigation was disclosed online, though no additional specifics were provided. Jin, 55, hails from Jiangsu province and joined the Party in June 1991, commencing his career in August of the same year. After graduating from Dongbei University of Finance and Economics in Liaoning province in 1991, he worked across various industries in Xinjiang, including chemistry and new energy. In January 2023, he was appointed vice-chairman of the regional committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference. The probe underscores the ongoing efforts by China’s leadership to enforce strict adherence to Party principles and legal standards among its officials.
