Admiral Chang Wei (Chinese: 张伟) is the main antagonist of Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 4: Countdown to War.

Biography[]

Chang is a high-ranking admiral in the Chinese military who planned to overthrow the current Chinese government. He orders the assassination of Jin Jié, the future leader and voice for peace and progress in China. Despite failing, Chang was able to implicate the United States for Jié's death and cancels elections whilst declaring martial law. This, in turn, causes both US and Russian navies to station themselves off the coast of China as civil unrest increases, and protests begin in Shanghai.^[2]

Trivia[]

Chang's suit is the same one as that seen on agent Kovic.
Despite being mentioned quite often during the campaign, he is only seen twice:
- During his televised speech about Jin Jié's assassination, projected on the Zhi Yu Tower TV screen façade.
- While overseeing Recker's and Irish's interrogations, he learns that Jin Jié is still alive and aboard the USS Valkyrie.
Whether by coincidence or not, Chang, in both the game and novel, appears only once during the protagonists' interrogation and torture scene.
Unlike other Chinese characters in Battlefield 4, Chang's name uses the Wade–Giles system of romanization instead of the Pinyin system. Chang Wei would be romanized as Zhāng Wěi in pinyin.

The player may also let the Chang's warship destroy the Valkyrie, resulting in the death of Pac, Garrison, Jin Jié, and presumably everyone else on board. However, no details were given for the aftermath of Chang and Valkyrie. In Battlefield 2042, it was revealed Hannah, Irish, and Pac all survived to the year 2042 in the Exodus Short Film and Road to Battlefield 6 Battle Pass story, it can be assumed all remaining members of the Tombstone Squad survived the war, but some went missing after the Suez mission and were presumed died.
