Wei

Wei was the President of the People's Republic of China during Day 9.

Following the unprovoked destruction of the Shenyang aircraft carrier by a U.S. nuclear submarine, Wei spoke with U.S. President James Heller via video conference. Heller informed his counterpart that the incident was the result of a malicious breach of U.S. defense infrastructure, perpetrated by former Chinese intelligence agent Cheng Zhi, and implored Wei to refrain from military retaliation until the United States could capture Cheng and his override device. Wei was unmoved, reminding Heller that he had vocally opposed the Shenyang's deployment to the Mediterranean, and explained that China regarded the incident as an act of war.

Following the conference, British Prime Minister Alastair Davies also attempted to reach out to President Wei and assure him of the override's existence, but was equally unsuccessful.
