Biography

Zhang was born in Tai County (now Jiangyan District), Jiangsu, in July 1962. In 1981, he was accepted to Nanjing University, majoring in economic management. He joined the Chinese Communist Party in June 1985. He worked in the Central People's Government after university in 1985.

In October 1987, he was assigned to his home-province Jiangsu, where he successively served as director of Jiangsu Provincial Department of Environmental Protection, mayor of Xuzhou, party secretary of Zhenjiang, secretary-general of Jiangsu, and vice governor of Jiangsu. On 17 July 2017, he was appointed party secretary of Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu. On October 24, he was chosen as an alternate member of the 19th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party. On February 19, 2021, he was made deputy party secretary of Jiangsu, and held that office until November 19, when he took office as deputy party branch secretary of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

On 1 December 2021, he has been placed under investigation for "serious violations of discipline and laws" by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), the party's internal disciplinary body, and the National Supervisory Commission, the highest anti-corruption agency of China.^[5] He was the fifth vice ministerial-level official in Nanjing to be targeted by anti-corruption authorities since 2008, after Wang Wulong, Yang Weize, Ji Jianye, and Miao Ruilin.^[6]
