After the bribery case occurred, it "parachuted" into Liaoning

In July 2015, he was transferred from the water conservancy system to the discipline inspection and supervision system and served as the director of the Propaganda Department of the Central Discipline Inspection Commission (vice ministerial level).
In January 2016, after the conclusion of the Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Discipline Inspection Commission, the Central Discipline Inspection Commission held a press conference for the first time on the plenary session of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and Chen Xiaojiang attended.
With regard to the saying that "fighting corruption is a gust of wind," Chen Xiaojiang made it clear that he would maintain a strong political determination, step on an unchanging pace, keep undiminished intensity, unchanged rhythm, and unslackened scale, always maintain a high-pressure anti-corruption posture, and resolutely curb the momentum of the spread of corruption; on the question of whether anti-corruption will affect ruling power and affect economic development, Chen Xiaojiang stressed: Punishing corruption consolidates the party's ruling foundation, wins the hearts and minds of the party and the people, opposes corruption, cracks down on power rent-seeking, and purifies the market environment is conducive to economic development.
In April 2016, Chen Xiaojiang took up his new post for the first time and was transferred to the Standing Committee of the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission.
At that time, Liaoning became the focus of the country for canvassing and bribery. This is the first major case that occurred at the provincial level since the founding of New China, seriously violated party discipline and state law, seriously violated political discipline and political rules, seriously violated organizational discipline and discipline for the change of term, and seriously undermined the inner-party election system and the people's congress election system.

The first Han director of the State Nationalities Commission
On December 26, 2020, the 24th session of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People's Congress voted to appoint Chen Xiaojiang as the chairman of the State Ethnic Affairs Commission. On the same day, the updated information in the "Committee Leadership" column of the official website of the State Nationalities Commission showed that Chen Xiaojiang was also the deputy director of the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee.
This is his second "cross-border" appointment since 2015.
According to the official website, the State Nationalities Commission is one of the earliest central ministries and commissions established on the mainland. On October 22, 1949, the Ethnic Affairs Committee of the Central People's Government was established, referred to as the Central Nationalities Commission.
At the First Session of the National People's Congress in 1954, the Ethnic Affairs Committee of the Central People's Government was renamed the Ethnic Affairs Committee of the People's Republic of China. On June 22, 1970, the Ethnic Affairs Commission of the People's Republic of China was abolished. In 1978, the first session of the Fifth National People's Congress decided to restore the State Ethnic Affairs Commission, referred to as the State Nationalities Commission, and has since served as a constituent department of the State Council.
According to public information, since 1954, before Chen Xiaojiang took office, the seven directors of the State Nationalities Commission were all ethnic minorities, including Ulan fu (Mongolian), Yang Jingren (Hui), Ismail Amat (Uyghur), Li Desu (Korean), Yang Jing (Mongolian), Wang Zhengwei (Hui), and Battle (Mongolian).
Chen Xiaojiang is the first Han director of the State Nationalities Commission in 66 years.
On January 25 this year, the work deployment meeting for the compilation of the "History of Exchanges, Exchanges and Integration of the Chinese Nation" was held in Beijing in the form of a video conference, and Chen Xiaojiang attended the meeting and delivered a speech.
The meeting pointed out that the compilation of the history of the "three diplomatic relations" is to write a history for the entire Chinese nation at the national level, an important cultural project to continue the tradition of revising history in the prosperous world, a cohesive project to cast a solid sense of the Chinese national community, and a strong foundation project to strengthen historical research and promote the cultivation of talents.
It is necessary to clearly embody the theme of exchanges, exchanges, and blending of various nationalities, and take "the vast territory of the mainland is jointly pioneered by all nationalities, the long history is jointly written by all nationalities, the splendid culture is jointly created by all nationalities, and the great national spirit is jointly cultivated by all nationalities" as the guide, and clearly explain the historical process of the origin, formation, and development of the pattern of pluralism and integration of the Chinese nation.
