The death of the Chinese diplomat Wu Jianmin in a car accident in Wuhan on the 18th June robs China of one of its most moderate, experienced senior foreign policy thinkers. A native of the south east city of Chongqing, Wu, who was 77, had studied French during the 1960s, and served as a translator for Mao Zedong and other senior leaders in the final years of the Cultural Revolution era, participating in the first ever delegation sent from the People’s Republic to the United Nations in 1971 when it assumed its seat there. After the Reform and Opening up period started from 1978, he shifted over to more formal diplomatic work, serving as the ambassador to the United Nations, the Netherlands, and, most significantly, France.
