In August 2010, Bayanqolu was transferred to Jilin province in Northeastern China, where he served as Deputy Party Chief of the province and Chairman of the Jilin Political Consultative Conference. At the time of his Consultative Conference appointment, some commentators suggested that his political career was coming to a close, since the position was often seen as a "retirement home" for esteemed older politicians; however, in some cases (see He Lifeng, Wang Anshun, Chen Qiufa), the position had served as a "staging ground" for higher office.[5]
In December 2012, Bayanqolu was appointed acting Governor of Jilin, succeeding Wang Rulin, who was promoted to party chief of the province. He was officially confirmed as Governor by the Jilin Provincial Congress in January 2013.[3][4] Bayanqolu's ascension to governor was notable and was the subject of much fanfare, as he was extremely unusual in being from the Youth League, Zhejiang, and ethnic minority background in a provincial leadership position.[5]
In August 2014, Bayanqolu rose one step further. When Jilin party chief Wang Rulin was parachuted to Shanxi to oversee 'reconstruction' following a massive province-wide anti-corruption crackdown, Bayanqolu was given to nod to replace Wang as Jilin party chief.[3] At the time Bayanqolu assumed office as party chief of Jilin, he became the only ethnic-minority party chief of a Chinese province.[4] He also carried with him the unique resume of having served as party chief, governor, People's Congress chair, and Consultative Conference Chair all within a period of less than five years. Additionally, given his Zhejiang experience, Bayanqolu was generally considered to be an associate of Xi Jinping (see New Zhijiang Army), and was expected to take on even higher office.[6]
