Wang Dengping (Chinese: 王登平; born November 1952) is a vice admiral (zhong jiang) of China's People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). He has been a Deputy Political Commissar of the PLAN since December 2014, and formerly served as Political Commissar of the PLAN's North Sea Fleet and South Sea Fleet. He has been described as having hawkish views regarding China's territorial disputes.
Wang Dengping was born in Feixi County in East China's Anhui Province. He studied radio electronics at Tsinghua University in the 1970s, and has a master's degree in political science from the Central Party School.
Wang enlisted in the PLA in 1970, in the middle of the Cultural Revolution, and served as a platoon leader before becoming a political officer. He spent part of his career in Beijing in the PLA General Political Department's Propaganda Department, first as deputy director of an unidentified bureau, and then as director. For a time he served as the secretary of General Zhou Keyu. Afterwards, he joined the navy as deputy political commissar of the North Sea Fleet's Qingdao Support Base. He was promoted to the rank of rear admiral in July 2002.
In 2002, Wang embarked on a navy expedition that circumnavigated the globe. He worked closely with the commander of this expedition, Vice Admiral Ding Yiping. Wang later wrote an article describing the experience, entitled "The Chinese People's Navy's First Around-The-World Voyage."
