During the "cultural revolution" (1966-1976), he worked for nearly four

recruited by the foreign ministry and sent to Canada to study as an

China's consulate general in Vancouver, Canada (1977-1981), second and
then first secretary (press) at China's U.N. mission in New York (1986-
1990), and  counselor (congressional liaison) at the Chinese embassy in
USA (since January 1998). When not posted overseas, Mr Zhang worked most
of time at the ministry's translation and interpretation department,
serving at one time director of its English division.  He received an
M.A. degree from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy in 1995.  Mr
Zhang is married and has one son.
