Wang Jun (Chinese: 王君; pinyin: Wáng Jūn; born March 26, 1952) is a Chinese politician and former senior regional official. He was the Director of the State Administration of Work Safety between March and September 2008. He was appointed acting Governor of Shanxi in September 2008 after a botched government response to a mudslide in the province led to the resignation of then Governor Meng Xuenong. He served as Shanxi Governor until December 2012, when he was transferred to Inner Mongolia to serve as party chief there. He left active politics in August 2016.
Wang was born in Datong, Shanxi. He pursued a postgraduate degree at the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Party School, majoring in philosophy. He holds the title of senior engineer at the professorial level. He joined the CPC in July 1977.
At the age of 19, he started working at the Qingciyao coal mine in Shanxi. In 1974, he was recommended to study coal mining at the Shanxi Institute of Mining. After graduation, he was assigned to work at the Datong Mining Bureau. Starting as a normal technician, he was eventually elevated to the position of director of the Bureau. His former posts included technician in the ventilation zone of the Jinhuagong Mine, assistant engineer, deputy head and later head of the ventilation zone, vice manager of Jinhuagong Mine and vice secretary of the CPC committee of the Datong Mining Bureau. In 1993, he became the first deputy director of the mining bureau, and was promoted to director two years later.
After a 20-year tenure at the Datong Mining Bureau, Wang was elevated to the central government in October 1997, becoming the vice minister of Coal Industry. During a reform of the central administration half a year later, the Ministry of Coal Industry was abolished, and Wang became vice director of the newly established National Bureau of Coal Industry, remaining at the rank of vice minister. Beginning in 1999, he served in several posts in Jiangxi Province, including vice governor, vice secretary of the CPC provincial committee and president of the Jiangxi provincial party school. In 2006, he was appointed vice party chief and vice president of the All-China Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives, and was promoted to party chief of the Federation one year later.
