Life

Yin was born in Jinan ( Shandong ). He studied at Shandong Experimental High School and then at Shandong Medical College (later merged with Shandong University ). He also holds a degree in public health from the Soviet Union . In 1993 he began his work in the stately research office (State Council Research Office).

In February 2012 he was appointed head of the State Medicines Agency. In April 2013, he was appointed deputy director of the newly created National Health and Family Planning Commission and deputy director of the China Food and Drug Administration, which was the result of the merger of several government departments.

In March 2015, he was "transferred" to Sichuan to become the provincial deputy party leader; in May 2015 he also became head of provincial propaganda. This was noteworthy as Yin had no regional political experience at all before 2015.
