He has served in various government roles, including chief of the Jiangsu Agricultural Resources Development Bureau, the deputy Communist Party Secretary, Mayor, and Party Secretary of the city of Suqian. In January 2013, Miao was elected Vice-Governor of the Jiangsu province.[3] In December 2013, in the aftermath of the Shuanggui of then Nanjing mayor Ji Jianye, Miao was named Acting Mayor, then confirmed as Mayor of Nanjing in January 2014 til January 2018.[4][5] The mayoralty in Nanjing is a sub-provincial-level position. In 2016, he was appointed director of Nanjing Jiangbei New area, one of 20 national-level new areas in China.[6] In January 2018, he was elected Vice-Governor of the Jiangsu province again.[6]

Downfall

On November 15, 2018, Miao has been placed under investigation for serious violations of laws and regulations by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), the party's internal disciplinary body, and the National Supervisory Commission, the highest anti-corruption agency of China.[7][8]

In January 2019, his qualification for delegates to the 13th Jiangsu People's Congress was terminated. He was expelled from the Party and dismissed from office on April 28, 2019.[9][6] Prosecutors signed an arrest order for him on May 13.[10] On August 7, he stood trial at the Intermediate People's Court of Qingdao on charges of taking bribes.[11] Prosecutors accused him of taking advantage of his former positions in Jiangsu between 2005 and 2016 to seek profits for relevant organizations and individuals in project approval, project contracting and job adjustment.[11] In return, he directly or through his wife received money and gifts worth over 7.2 million yuan ($99,700).[11] On November 19, Miao was sentenced to 10 years and 6 months in prison for taking bribes of 7.2 million yuan ($99,700) by Qingdao Intermediate People's Court.[12][13] He was also fined 700,000 yuan ($99,700).[12][13]
