Biography

Chen was born in Haicheng, Liaoning Province, China. He was the mayor of Shenyang, the capital of Liaoning. In December 2005, he was appointed the secretary of the CPC's Shenyang City committee. On 22 December 2007, the standing committee of Liaoning People's Congress accepted the request for the resignation of Zhang Wenyue as the governor of the Liaoning, and appointed Chen Zhenggao as the vice-governor. The committee also decided that Chen would become the acting Governor of Liaoning.

In 2009, amidst the ongoing global financial crisis, Chen led a group of over 200 officials on a business trip to Japan, where they spent a total of 50 million yen (roughly US$500,000) on dining and related expenses.^[1]

In 2014, Chen was appointed the Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development replacing Jiang Weixin,^[2] and Li Xi succeeded him as Governor of Liaoning. He left office in 2017 upon reaching the mandated retirement age for ministerial-level officials of 65.

He was an alternate member of the CPC's 17th Central Committee and a full member of the CPC's 18th Central Committee.

Chen died on 16 June 2024, at the age of 72.^[3]
