Wei (rank)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Shao Wei" redirects here. For the American poet, see Shao Wei (poet).

Wei (Chinese: 尉; Korean: 위; Hanja: 尉) is the rank held by company-grade officers in some East Asian militaries. The ranks are used in both the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China on Taiwan, and both North and South Korea.

Chinese variant

People's Liberation Army

The same rank names are used for all services, prefixed by haijun (simplified Chinese: 海军; traditional Chinese: 海軍; lit. 'naval force') or kongjun (simplified Chinese: 空军; traditional Chinese: 空軍; lit. 'air force').
