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. He served as the Secretary-General of Kuomintang (KMT) from December 2009 to January 2011. King also served as Vice Mayor of Taipei from 2002 to 2006 and had previously been a scholar and journalist.
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.
King had taught at National Chengchi University. He also had taught at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in Hong Kong.
As Secretary-General, King pledged to sort out financial questions of national funds that had been mixed with party assets, 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.
King is alleged to be related to the last Qing emperor Puyi, although lack of genealogical evidence has raised suspicions. 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.
