Wu Mei-hung (Chinese: 吳美紅; pinyin: Wú Měihóng) is a politician in the Republic of China. She was the Political Deputy Minister and Spokesperson of the Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) of the Executive Yuan from 2013 to 2015.
Wu obtained her bachelor's degree in law from National Taiwan University.
On 17 October 2013, Wu said that the possibility of meeting between Ma Ying-jeou and Xi Jinping can only be achieved with the conditions of Leader of Taiwan side must be recognized in his capacity as the President of the Republic of China and that such meeting must be supported by the Taiwanese public. The meeting must also comply with parity and dignity, no matter what the meeting model will be. It must also be held under the condition of nor harming the dignity of the Republic of China, be conductive to the welfare of the Taiwanese and improves cross-strait relations.
Speaking at a press conference on 31 October 2013, Wu said that most of Taiwanese people support to maintain the status quo on cross-strait relations after a recent survey showed that 71% of Taiwanese support independence from China. Wu said that those people who support independence cannot be simply interpreted as supporting independence. She added that based on the several public opinion polls conducted by the MAC to choose between independence or unification, 80% of the respondents always show the support of maintaining the status quo.
On 14 November 2013, commenting on the cancellation of concert in Beijing by singer Deserts Chang after a Mainland Chinese audience was angry at her displaying the ROC flag in her concert in the United Kingdom earlier, Wu said that she regretted the concert cancellation, but she respected the decision made by Chang, considering performance quality and the safety of concertgoers. The MAC had communicated with Taiwan Affairs Office (TAO) over this matter. TAO response was positive by saying that younger generations should increase contact and engagement to enhance mutual understanding, feelings of familiarity and ethnic identity.
