Before Huang moved to Chongqing as vice governor in 2001, he worked in
Shanghai Municipality as vice secretary-general for seven years since 1994. Last
December, Huang was appointed as Chongqing's acting mayor, taking the place of
former governor Wang Hongju, who retired from office.
When his
election was announced at the third municipal People's Congress, Huang, 58,
expressed gratitude to representatives that supported his candidacy.
