China: Chin Shu-jen, Governor of Sinkiang 1928-33, c. 1930. Chin Shu-jen (1879–1941), or Jin Shuren, was governor of Xinjiang, succeeding Yang Zengxin after Yang was assassinated in 1928. Jin ruled Xinjiang for about half a decade, but his reign was characterized by corruption and suppression. Under his rule, both ethnic and religion conflicts were greatly deepened, resulting in numerous riots against his regime, which eventually led to his downfall.
