He became involved in politics in July 1976 and he joined the Communist Party of China in February 1978.
Yi Junqing received his doctor of philosophy degree from the University of Belgrade in the former Yugoslavia.
In March 2007, Yi Junqing was appointed as the Director of the Propaganda Department of the Heilongjiang party organization, a position he held until February 2010. A month later, he was elected as a member of the Heilongjiang Provincial Party Standing Committee, joining the elite political ranks of the province.[1]
In February 2010, he was promoted to become the Director of Compilation and Translation Bureau, an organization under the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. While working at the Compilation and Translation Bureau, Yi was said to have played a major role in developing the Confidence doctrine, which later became a major slogan following the 18th Party Congress.[2]
On January 17, 2013, Yi Junqing was dismissed from his position for his lifestyle by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China.[3]
Personal life
Yi Junqing had a mistress, Chang Yan (常艳), who was married to a post-doctoral researcher in Compilation and Translation Bureau of the Central Committee. They slept together in hotels 17 times, and Chang Yan published a detailed account of their affair later. The extramarital relationship was cited as one of the lifestyle issues that led to Yi's discipline by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China.[4][5]
