Lieutenant General Yin Wei Has Become Chief of Staff of the Air Force

From April 23 to 28, Dong Jun visited Russia and Kyrgyzstan and attended the defense ministers’ meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization member states. Yin Wei, the newly appointed Air Force chief of staff, accompanied him.

Yin Wei previously served as deputy chief of staff of the Air Force. Last September, Yin Wei presided over the opening ceremony of the Changchun Air Show. At the time, he was still only a major general.

Compared with other service branches, not only have more Air Force generals “survived,” but vacancies have also been filled more quickly.

The previous Air Force chief of staff was Lieutenant General Wang Gang.

On April 8, Wang Gang attended the opening ceremony of a training course for senior military cadres across the entire PLA. His attendance at this meeting indicated that he was the military officer in charge of the Air Force’s day-to-day work.

Wang Gang no longer serves as Air Force chief of staff, but he continues to oversee the Air Force’s military work. This suggests that he has made a lateral move to become deputy commander of the Air Force, while still presiding over the Air Force’s military affairs.

The two sides pointed out that the plans and actions of certain nuclear-weapon states and their allies to deploy land-based intermediate- and shorter-range missiles outside their own territories pose a threat to other nuclear-weapon states. Of particular concern is that these missiles have short flight times and are suitable for large-scale, high-precision strikes against vital facilities and targets within the territories of other nuclear-weapon states. At the same time, nuclear-weapon states and non-nuclear-weapon states within certain military alliances and blocs are pursuing strategies such as “active launch suppression,” “deep precision strikes,” “kill chains,” and “counterstrike capabilities.” They are carrying out preemptive and preventive missile strikes aimed at decapitating and disarming the enemy. Such actions are a serious destabilizing factor and pose a strategic threat to the targeted states. The two sides strongly condemn these provocative acts, which undermine regional stability and global security, and will work together to respond to them.
