Jin Shuren
Jin Shuren (also Chin Shu-jen, Chinese 金樹仁 , Pinyin Jīn Shùrén , * 1883 in Gansu Province , † 1941 in Gansu Province) was a warlord in the Republic of China and governor of Xinjiang from 1928 to 1933 .
Term of office as governor
In 1928, Kuomintang sympathizers put a coup against the long-time governor of Xinjiang, Yang Zengxin, and murdered him. His student, Jin Shuren, in turn had the coup plotters arrested and shot. He then ruled himself. In 1928, he sent Burhan Shahidi to the Weimar Republic to study the political and economic conditions there.
Jin's tenure was marked by his hatred of the region's Muslims, especially the Uighurs . This policy led to tensions between the Han Chinese and Muslim communities, as well as to Uighur and Kazak uprisings in the province.
In 1933, Sheng Shicai replaced Jin Shuren.
