Chen Mingshu

Chen Mingshu (; 4 December 1889 – 15 May 1965) was a Chinese general and politician. A Hakka from Hepu, Guangxi, he graduated from Baoding Military Academy and participated in the Northern Expedition. He was briefly premier after Chiang Kai-shek stepped down in December 1931. In 1932, he took part in the January 28 incident in Shanghai, defending the city against the Empire of Japan.

He was a member of Social Democratic Party of China.

He was one of the principal leaders of the Fujian Rebellion and the Productive People's Party (General Secretary), the failure of which forced him into exile in Hong Kong. Despite his involvement with the Fuijan Rebellion, Chen continued to be a member of the Kuomintang during Chiang's rule and returned to China before the end of the Chinese Civil War. Chen served as a representative of the Kuomintang and continued to represent the Republic of China, for example, as a representative of the KMT to Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru during his visit to China.

In 1948, he joined the Revolutionary Committee of the Kuomintang's central standing committee. After the People's Republic of China was founded, he sat on the standing committees of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the National People's Congress. During the Anti-Rightist Movement, he was determined to be a "rightist".
