Chu Minyi (1884 - August 23, 1946) was a prominent figure in the Chinese republican movement and the early Nationalist government. Born into a family of Scholar-bureaucrats in Zhejiang Province, he studied in Japan and France, where he became involved in revolutionary activities supporting the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty. After returning to China, Chu held various positions within the Kuomintang and played significant roles in education, medical institutions, and cultural exchanges. However, his political differences with Chiang Kai-shek led to his resignation from official positions. During the Japanese occupation, Chu joined the collaborationist Wang Jingwei Government and served as Vice President of the Executive Yuan and Foreign Minister. He negotiated treaties with Japan and sought diplomatic recognition from Axis Powers. After Japan's surrender, Chu was taken into custody by the Republic of China government, brought to trial on charges of treason, and executed in 1946. Despite his controversial role during the war, Chu's contributions to Chinese nationalism and his efforts in various fields make his life and legacy a complex and significant part of Chinese history.
