Background:
Deputy Secretary Wei differs from most citizens of Ti Jien insofar
as he does not have the cybernetic enhancements typical of others 
from his homeworld.  His family left Ti Jien before the tragedy
of 2359, when he was still in his pre-teens.  Educated on Terra, he 
speaks Terran Standard without an accent and maintains close ties to 
the Ti Jien legation to the UFP as well as the ethnic Sinic community 
on Terra.

Political Affiliation:
Dr. Wei is considered a moderate liberal in matters of social policy;
nevertheless, he has contributed routinely (until recently as a
columnist) on matters of fiscal and monetary to the moderate
conservative press.  Declines to disclose party affiliation, if any.
Notes:
Dr. Wei brings the dual backgrounds of a thirty year professional
association with an established megacorp (Anchor Holdings, Inc) in
its mining division (Anchor Mines, Inc) and that of a citizen of Ti
Jien, a colony where uncontrolled economic growth and environmental
exploitation proved disasterous.  While he is a firm believer in (and
has published extensively on) the importance of private corporations
in any successful scheme for developing planets' economies, he is by
no means overly accomodating of what he considers ill-advised 
development schemes.  Has an excellent sense for the role of energy
and mineral related securities in financial markets and consistently
advises ranking Federation politicians on the probable effects of
proposed legislation on these exchanges.
