At the 2009 Winter Universiade, Jin scored the first goal in the first game of the first women's ice hockey tournament ever included as part of the Winter Universiade programme, as China went on to win silver. She represented her country as an alternate-captain at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, where she tallied the second-most points of all players on the team. China claimed its third consecutive bronze medal at the 2011 Asian Winter Games, boosted by Jin’s tournament-leading 7 assists. After the Chinese national team was relegated from the IIHF top division at the 2009 Women's World Championship, she completed two World Championship tournaments in Division I prior to her retirement in 2013.
