Qu Wu (Chinese: 屈武; July 16, 1898 – June 13, 1992) was a Chinese military officer and politician, who most notably served as chairman of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang, Vice Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, deputy secretary-general of the National People's Congress, deputy secretary-general of the Central People's Government and vice chairman of the Committee of Foreign Cultural Relations.[1][2][3]
A graduate of Peking University, Moscow Sun Yat-sen University and the Frunze Military Academy, Qu was a left-wing nationalist; he joined the Kuomintang and married a daughter of Yu Youren, but strongly supported collaboration with the Communists against Japan and aggressive nationalizations of foreign-owned businesses. In 1949, as the Nationalist-appointed Mayor of Ürümqi, he played a leading role in the mostly peaceful incorporation of Xinjiang into the People's Republic of China.
