Biography

Yang was born in

Southwest University of Political Science & Law

, where he majored in criminal investigation.

In 1983, Yang was assigned to work at the

Ministry of Public Security, where he served in a series of roles in the criminal investigation department. During this time he was sent to Harbin

to serve as deputy police chief for a year, ostensibly to train him for larger assignments. In 1996, he was promoted to become the assistant of Minister of Public Security (department-level), a position he held until 2001.

In 2001, Yang earned a doctorate in law from

provincial Party Standing Committee

.

In April 2008, shortly before the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Yang was transferred to Beijing as the

re-education through labour, one of the major reforms under Xi Jinping.^[2] Yang also took part in the search and rescue efforts following the 2015 Tianjin explosions

.

On 14 October 2015, Yang became the director of State Administration of Work Safety, replacing Yang Dongliang, who was investigated for corruption.^[3]

Yang's last public appearance was in April 2017 at a coal safety event in Hebei province. Thereafter, he disappeared from public view. In July 2017, his profile was removed from the "list of leaders" pane of the website of the State Administration of Work Safety.^[4] On July 31, 2017, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection announced that Yang was placed on two-year probation within the Party, and demoted three grades to a Sub-Bureau-Director level (fujuji) "non-leading" position. The investigation accused Yang of "violating political rules and political discipline" and departing from party consciousness on "major matters of principle."^[5]

Yang was an alternate member of the 17th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party and a full member of the 18th Central Committee.
