He became the commander ofChengdu Military Region in June 1985, and the commander ofLanzhou Military Region in May 1990. He was a member of 12th - 15th CCP central committees, and a delegate in the8th and9th National People's Congress. He was madelieutenant general (zhongjiang) in 1988 andgeneral (shangjiang) in 1993.

Fu was a member of theCentral Military Commission (CMC) from October 1992 until his retirement in March 2003.[2]
Fu viewed the PLA exercises during the1995-1996 Taiwan Strait crisis as successful.[3]: 147 Fu reported to the CMC that the 1995 exercises were "all extremely successful: they attacked the power of the 'Taiwan separatists' represented byLee Teng-hui, warned the United States as the main outside intervening power, and they were forcefully accompanied by political and diplomatic struggles and were highly praised by the Politburo and the CMC."[3]: 147
During the 1999NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, theUnited States bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade.[3]: 17 Believing that the bombing was intentional, Chinese leadership worried that China was significantly lacking in leverage against the United States.[3]: 17 A few weeks after the bombing, Fu contended, "[W]hen dealing with the United States, we must have strength, if we lag behind we will be attacked."[3]: 165
Regardingcounterspace weapons, Fu stated in 2000 that "following the development of space weaponry, outer space can be used not only for reconnaissance, warning, guidance, and positioning support for operations on land, at sea, and in the air in the future, it is also becoming an important battlefield for the adversary carrying out space-space and space-ground operations."[3]: 255
