Wang Daohan
▪ 2006

      Chinese politician (b. March 27, 1915, Jiashan, Anhui province, China—d. Dec. 24, 2005, Shanghai, China), served as vice-mayor (1980–81) and mayor (1981–85) of Shanghai. He continued to be an adviser to the Shanghai government after he was succeeded as mayor by Jiang Zemin, who later served as president of China. Named president of the mainland-based Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS) in 1991, Wang held several talks with Koo Chen-fu, chairman of the Taiwan-based Straits Exchange Foundation, in what were the first formal discussions between Beijing and Taipei since 1949. As president of ARATS, he also met in 2005 with visiting Taiwanese opposition leaders, Nationalist Party Chairman Lien Chan and People's First Party Chairman James Soong. Wang received an honorary Ph.D. (1985) in public administration from Tufts University, Medford, Mass.
