Biography
Qian was born in Xi'an, Shaanxi, in November 1964. After resuming the college entrance examination, he graduated from Xi'an Vocational and Technical College.
In August 1983 he was appointed as an official in a township of Baqiao District in Xi'an city and over a period of 15 years worked his way up to the position of District Head, the year he was only 34.
In March 2000 Qian was promoted to become Magistrate and Deputy Communist Party Secretary of Chang'an County (now Chang'an District), and held that offices until January 2003, when he was promoted again to become Communist Party Secretary, the top political position in the district, from 2003 to 2007. Qian became the Communist Party Secretary of Yanta District in March 2007, and served until December 2009. At the end of 2009, Qian rose to become vice-mayor of Xi'an. Shortly after he took office, traffic accidents have become one of the biggest killers, which made him take the lead in the press conference to apologize to the public. In Xi'an, Qian worked with Sun Qingyun and Wei Minzhou as their subordinates for about 10 years. In late 2013, Qian was named acting mayor and Deputy Communist Party Secretary of Baoji, a prefecture-level city in western Shaanxi province, and then Communist Party Secretary, the top political position in the city, beginning in November 2015. During his short term he focused on real estate development projects in Qinling Mountains called "Tiantai Mountain-Jifeng Mountain-Yinxiang River" (Chinese: 天台山—鸡峰山—茵香河), which damaged the local ecological environment and shocked central government leaders.[4][5][6][7]
At the middle of 2017, he was elevated to Secretary General of the CPC Shaanxi Provincial Committee. He is a member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Shaanxi Provincial Committee since May 2017.
Investigation
On November 1, 2018, Qian has been placed under investigation for serious violations of laws and regulations 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.[8][9] He was expelled from the Party on April 29, 2019.[10]
On December 10, 2019, Qian was sentenced by the Guangzhou Intermediate People's Court to 14 years in prison.[11]
