After college he worked in the Shaoxing government, rising through the ranks to become the county governor of Shaoxing County in 1991, and party chief (the top position in the county) in 1994. In 1997 Chen was transferred to the neighbouring city of Ningbo to become its Vice Mayor. In 1999 he was promoted to deputy party chief Ningbo.[1][2]

In December 1999 Chen was appointed the chief editor of Zhejiang Daily, the official government newspaper of Zhejiang province, and in 2001 he became the Propaganda Chief of the Zhejiang Communist Party organization. In June 2002, Chen, then 42, earned a seat on the provincial Party Standing Committee. From May 2007 to January 2012 he was a Vice Governor of Zhejiang.[1] During this period he worked under Zhejiang party secretary Xi Jinping.[2]

Guizhou

In January 2012, Chen was transferred to the southwestern interior province of Guizhou to become its Deputy Party Secretary, and in December he was appointed Acting Governor of Guizhou, succeeding Zhao Kezhi, who had been promoted to Communist Party Secretary. In January 2013 he was officially confirmed as governor by the Guizhou Provincial Congress.[1][2]

In July 2015, Chen was promoted to Party Secretary of Guizhou, becoming only the third provincial party-level chief born after the year 1960 (after Hu Chunhua and Sun Zhengcai). Due to the Communisty Party's rigid age-based promotion system, it led to speculation that Chen may be destined for higher office.[3] After taking charge as party secretary, Chen enthusiastically advanced the policies of General secretary Xi Jinping, such as the "Three Stricts and Three Honests" education campaign. Chen also led an initiative to set up formal discussions (yuetan) over alleged wrongdoing by officials in the province, personally taking charge of the most serious cases. In an interview with the media organs of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, Chen repeated the slogan "power must be restricted in the cage of institutions, and power should be exercised in sunshine," (i.e., transparently and openly). Chen set up over 1,400 working committees in neighbourhoods and rural areas in the province to oversee complaints over routine government services.[4]
