Jin Shuren (金樹仁), governor of Xinjiang, succeeded Yang Zengxin after Yang was assassinated in 1928. Jin Shuren ruled Xinjiang for about half a decade, and his reign was characterized by corruption and suppression. Under Jin's rule, both ethnic and religion conflicts were greatly deepened, resulting in numerous riots against his regime, which eventually led to his downfall. Jin Shuren was blamed for starting the ethnic and religion conflicts due to his practice of corruption: He confiscated local Turkic people's land in order to redistribute it to Chinese, but instead, give these lands to his personal associates for private properties. The Chinese, although did not receive any land, became the targets of hatred and attacks because the local Turkic people land's were taken and supposedly given to them. Jin Shuren also favored his fellow Han Chinese over Chinese Muslims, causing religious conflicts between the Muslims and Buddist / Taoist Chinese and Mongolians. In April, 1933, Jin's white Russian troops couped against him, and was joined by others in great numbers, forcing him to flee to former-USSR, ending his reign in Xinjiang
