'''{{lang|zh-Latn|Wei}}''' ({{Lang-zh|尉}}; {{korean|hangul=위|hanja=尉}}) is the rank held by [[company-grade officer]]s in some [[East Asia]]n militaries. The ranks are used in both the [[People's Republic of China]] and the [[Republic of China]] on [[Taiwan]], and both [[North Korea|North]] and [[South Korea]]. |
|||
'''''Wei''''' ({{Lang-zh|尉}}) is the rank held by [[company-grade officer]]s in the militaries of [[China]] and [[Taiwan]]. It currently exists in three grades, ''shao wei'' (少尉), ''zhong wei'' (中尉) (''chung wei'' using Wade–Giles), and ''shang wei'' (上尉). An additional grade, ''da wei'' (大尉), formerly existed in the [[People's Liberation Army|Chinese military]] (PLA) from 1955 to 1965. However, when the use of rank and insignia was restored in 1988, this rank was not re-established. As opposed to the Western tradition of using different names for equivalent ranks in the army and navy, the Chinese armed forces use the same rank names for all services, prefixed in the case of the PLA by ''hai jun'' (海军, naval force) or ''kong jun'' (空军, air force). |

The same rank names are used for all services, prefixed by {{lang|zh-Latn|haijun}} ({{zh|s=海军|t=海軍|l=naval force}}) or {{lang|zh-Latn|kongjun}} ({{zh|s=空军|t=空軍|l=air force}}). |
