Fu Ying

Who is Fu Ying?

Fu Ying is the current serving vice foreign minister of the People's Republic of China.

She was the Chinese ambassador to the United Kingdom from March 2007 to 2009. From 2004 to 2007 she was the ambassador to Australia. She led the Chinese Delegation during talks with North Korea that led to the latter country’s decision to abandon nuclear weapons.

In 2008, she indicated the negative press coverage of the protests towards the 2008 Beijing Olympics could create possible backlash from China towards the west, claiming that the "demonising" approach to the protests harmed the west's image in the eyes of the Chinese population.

She was cited by The Guardian newspaper to have said: "Many who had romantic views of the west are very disappointed at the media's attempt to demonise China. We all know that demonisation feeds a counter-reaction". Currently she is Vice Foreign Minister of PRC.

In February 2010 she was recalled as UK ambassador and replaced by Liu Xiaoming。
