King Pu-tsung (Chinese: 金溥聰; pinyin: Jīn Pǔcōng; born August 30, 1956 in Tainan City, Taiwan) is a Taiwanese-Manchu politician in the Republic of China. He currently serves as the Secretary-General of the National Security Council since 25 March 2014. King is widely regarded as the most important aide to Ma Ying-jeou.[citation needed] He served as the Secretary-General of Kuomintang (KMT) from December 2009 to January 2011.[5] King also served as Vice Mayor of Taipei[6] from 2002 to 2006 and had previously been a scholar[7] and journalist.

Early life
King earned his bachelor's degree in journalism from Taiwan's National Chengchi University, then studied abroad to earn a master's degree in mass communications from Texas Tech University and a Ph.D. in journalism from the University of Texas, Austin in United States.[8]
Early career
King had taught at National Chengchi University. He also had taught at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in Hong Kong.[9]
KMT Secretary-General
As Secretary-General, King pledged to sort out financial questions of national funds that had been mixed with party assets,[7] and urged party members to provide more than "lip service" to support party candidates in the run-up to the mayoral elections at the end of 2010.[10]
Personal life
King is alleged to be related to the last Qing emperor Puyi, although lack of genealogical evidence has raised suspicions.[11] Were his relation to the imperial family true, he would also be the cousin of Puru and his surname King a sinified adoption of the Qing imperial clan name Aisin Gioro.
