什麼是汪精衛

Wang Jingwei，亦拼作Wang Ching-wei。

中國的領導人，於1940年出任日本為統治所征服的中國地區，而建立的政權的首領。汪精衛是孫逸仙的革命黨中最主要的論戰家。1910年，他試圖刺殺皇室的攝政王，但失敗被捕。因為他在面臨處決所展現的勇氣，他的量刑因而得以縮減。他在共和革命後一年獲得釋放。1920年代，他出任國民黨（參閱Nationalist Party）中主要的職位。在孫逸仙死後，他擔任黨的主席，而蔣介石則領導北伐對抗中國的軍閥。蔣介石與汪精衛共同爭奪國民黨的主導權；兩人於1932年達成妥協，汪精衛出任總裁，蔣介石則領導軍隊。在對日戰爭爆發後，汪精衛逃向河內（Hanoi），並發表宣告，呼籲中國應設法達成和平協定。1940年，他與日本合作，成為以南京為中心、統治日本佔領區的政權首腦。雖然汪精衛期昐能獲准擁有實質的自治權，但日本仍繼續實施軍事和經濟上的統制。他在日本接受醫療診察時死亡。

1883～1944年

Wang Jingwei

Chinese leader, head of the regime established by the Japanese in 1940 to govern their conquests in China. A leading polemicist for Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary party, in 1910 he tried to assassinate the imperial regent and was caught; his courage in the face of execution resulted in his sentence being reduced. He was released the following year after the Republican Revolution. In the 1920s he served as a major official in the Nationalist Party (see Guomindang). After Sun's death, he chaired the party while Chiang Kai-shek led the Northern Expedition against China's warlords. Chiang and Wang vied for party control; in a compromise in 1932, Wang became president and Chiang headed the military. After war erupted with Japan, Wang flew to Hanoi and issued a statement calling on the Chinese to work out a peaceful settlement. In 1940, in cooperation with the Japanese, he became head of a regime that governed the Japanese-occupied areas centered on Nanjing. Though Wang had hoped to be granted virtual autonomy, the Japanese continued to exercise military and economic dominance. He died while undergoing medical treatment in Japan.
