▪ 2003
Chinese-born Roman Catholic prelate (b. March 26, 1925, Ho Hau, China—d. Sept. 23, 2002, Hong Kong), capably maneuvered the Roman Catholic Church through the transition period when Hong Kong was handed from British to Chinese control in 1997. Although Hong Kong's Chinese clergy balked at his appointment, his discretion and dedication aided the church's independence from Beijing authorities. Wu was ordained in 1952 and worked in the U.S. prior to being named bishop of Hong Kong in 1975. Sometimes criticized for failing to speak out openly on issues of social import, Wu did denounce the Tiananmen Square massacre and defended the rights of displaced children in Hong Kong.
