Wang Jingwei (4 May 1883 - 10 November 1944), was a Chinese politician. He was initially a member of the left wing of the KMT, leading a government in Wuhan in opposition to the right-wing government in Nanjing, but later became increasingly anti-communist after his efforts to collaborate with the CCP ended in political failure. His political orientation veered sharply to the right later in his career after he collaborated with the Japanese.
