Biography

Huang Guoxian was born in April 1962 in Henan Province. He spent much of his career in the Chengdu Military Region Air Force, before being appointed Commander of the PLAAF Fuzhou Forward Headquarters in August 2005. In 2011, he succeeded Xu Anxiang as Chief of Staff of the Nanjing Military Region Air Force. In July 2013, he was promoted to Commander of the Nanjing MRAF, as well as Deputy Commander of the Nanjing MR, replacing Zheng Qunliang.[1][2]

Huang attained the rank of major general in 2011,[1] and was elevated to the rank of lieutenant general on 16 July 2014. He was one of the youngest lieutenant generals in the PLAAF, along with Ma Zhenjun and Zhang Yihu.[3]

In September 2014, Huang and a delegation of PLAAF officers visited Joint Base Pearl Harbor–Hickam in Hawaii, as part of a reciprocal visit to building a strong military to military relationship between the United States and China. He was hosted by General Hawk Carlisle, Pacific Air Forces commander.[4]
