He also served as a Standing Committee member of the 9th National People's Congress (1998–2003) and as deputy director of the Environmental Protection and Resources Conservation Committee of the 10th National People's Congress.[3] He was the 5th and 6th president of the China Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and became a lifetime honorary president afterwards.[1]
