Career
He received education at Kulja and Istanbul and was a pan Turkist. Governor of Xinjiang Yang Zengxin jailed Masud Sabri for pan turkist activities and then deported him from the province. Masud supported the First East Turkestan Republic while based at Aqsu with Mahmud Sijan.
He replaced Zhang Zhizhong.
Ehmetjan Qasim, the Communist Uyghur Ili leader, repeatedly demanded that Masud Sabri be sacked as governor. Masud Sabri was also a Central Committee Clique member, as was the Tatar Burhan Shahidi and the Chinese Nationalist Party-general and Han-Chinese Wu Zhongxin.
Masud Sabri and fellow Pan-Turkic Jadidist and East Turkestan Independence activist Muhammad Amin Bughra rejected the Soviet imposition of the name "Uyghur people" upon the Turkic people of Xinjiang. They wanted instead the name "Turkic ethnicity" (Tujue zu in Chinese) to be applied to their people.
The names "Türk" or "Türki" in particular were demanded by Bughra as the real name for his people.
In January 1949, Burhan Shahidi succeeded Masud Sabri as the chairman of Xinjiang Provincial Government. In 1948 Sabri turned down the offer of being appointed ambassador from China to Iran. The Communist Party placed him under arrest and imprisoned him, in 1952 he died, still incarcerated.

After it was crushed by the 36th Division (National Revolutionary Army) Masud fled to British India and then to Nanjing, where he joined the Kuomintang Republic of China government. The position was then given to Masud Sabri, who was pro Kuomintang and anti-Soviet. He led the Xinjiang coalition government from 1948-1949 Masud Sabri formed a group of pan turkists with Muhammad Amin Bughra and Isa Yusuf Alptekin to join the Kuomintang Republic of China coalition government in Xinjiang, opposing the Uyghur Communist Ili regime in the Second East Turkestan Republic.
Ehmetjan Qasim attacked Masud Sabri, Alptekin, and Muhammad Amin Bughra as imperialist puppets and supporters of the Kuomintang.
