Fu Ying (born January 1953) is a Chinese politician and diplomat, best known for her terms as the ambassador to the Philippines, Australia, and the United Kingdom, as well as Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Fu was born in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, in 1953. Her father was a student of Ai Siqi and she is of Mongol descent.
An ethnic Mongol, Fu Ying is the first woman, and the only ethnic minority woman, to serve as Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs since 1979, and one of only two to serve in Chinese history. Fu graduated from the Beijing Foreign Studies University.
In 1976, she became the official interpreter of the diplomatic service.
She led the Chinese Delegation during talks with North Korea that led to the latter country's decision (later reneged on) to abandon nuclear weapons. [1] From 2004 to 2007 she was the ambassador to Australia. She was the Chinese ambassador to the United Kingdom from March 2007 to 2009. In February 2010 she returned to China and was replaced by Liu Xiaoming.
Following her ambassadorship, Fu became the chairperson of the National People's Congress Foreign Affairs Committee. [2]: 82
She graduated from the Beijing Foreign Studies University. In 1985, she did an MA in International Relations at the University of Kent. She also was given an honorary Doctorate of Civil Law in 2008 by the University of Kent.
A 2019 Report by the Hoover Institution of Stanford University stated that Fu Ying is the "senior figure in a growing number of US–China interactions," especially with U.S. think tanks. [5]
Fu Ying tries to adhere to elements of traditional Inner Mongolian culture in her personal life. She drinks suutei tsai (奶茶, Hohhot-style milk tea) on the weekends, listens to the traditional Mongol long song, and eats Inner Mongolian food. [6] She has one daughter by her husband, ethnologist Hao Shiyuan (郝时远). [7]
