Biography

Cen Xu was born in Beijing in August 1952. He is of Rudong, Jiangsu ancestry.[1]

Little information is publicly known on Cen's career prior to July 2000, when he became political commissar of Navy Equipment Proving Research Center (海军装备论证研究中心), the PLA Navy's main institution for developing and testing weapons, ships, and other technical systems. In 2003 this institution's name was changed to Navy Equipment Research Institute (海军装备研究院).[2]

In late 2004, Cen was promoted to deputy political commissar of the South Sea Fleet, and concurrently political commissar of South Sea Fleet naval aviation. In 2008, Cen was promoted to political commissar of the East Sea Fleet. He was also made a concurrent deputy political commissar of the Nanjing Military Region. While in this position, he worked alongside VADM Xu Hongmeng and VADM Du Jingchen, and East Sea Fleet Commander VADM Su Zhiqian.[2]

Cen attained the rank of rear admiral in July 2002 and vice admiral in July 2009.[1]

In December 2011, Cen was promoted to deputy political commissar of the PLA Navy. He served in that position for less than a year before being appointed assistant to the director of the PLA General Political Department, a deputy-military-region-level position, in January 2013.[1][2]

The Hong Kong newspaper Ta Kung Pao has called Cen "a leader in naval scientific research and armaments." Cen was appointed to the 18th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), the Chinese Communist Party's main organization responsible for monitoring the performance of Party members, and policing them for breaches in Party regulations and discipline.[2]
