Apparently, even though Yin Jie is also part of the national defense front, his reputation isn't very good.
He's from the research sector, but he is a political worker. He hasn't achieved much in research; most of his achievements are in "research management."
For the experts, research management can be somewhat acceptable—perhaps calling it "research guidance" would be more accurate. But generally speaking, research management is basically just bluffing people. If it can have a positive effect, that's great; if not a negative effect, that's quite good already.
However, Yin Jie truly lacks both technical skills and competency.
Yet he still came this time, for a simple reason—because he has the seniority.
In Huaxia, there is quite some criticism regarding personal connections. Clearly, it's supposed to be academic benefits, yet they insist on considering administrative management seniority.
