Huang Kun-huei (Chinese: 黃昆輝; pinyin: Huáng Kūnhuī, old spelling: Huang Kun-Fei^[1]) Taiwanese politician. A former member of the Kuomintang, he had served as the party's secretary general from 1999 to 2000. Prior to that, Huang served as the minister of the Mainland Affairs Council from 1991 to 1994 and Minister of the Interior from 1994 to 1996.^[2] He later left the KMT and joined the Taiwan Solidarity Union, chairing the TSU from 2007 to 2016.

TSU Chairmanship

Huang was elected leader of the Taiwan Solidarity Union on 19 January 2007.^[3]

Cross-Straits Economic Trade and Culture Forum

Commenting on the several Cross-Straits Economic Trade and Culture Forum that have been going on between Kuomintang (KMT) and the Communist Party of China (CPC), in end of October 2013 Huang said that the forum has shown nothing to Taiwan, except how the high-raking KMT officials fawn over Beijing for personal gain, either financially or politically. The forum has become the platform for the KMT's strategy in collaboration with the CPC in containing Taiwan. The Cross-Strait Service Trade Agreement also has now become a tool in which Beijing can pressure Ma Ying-jeou's administration.^[4]

Huang resigned his post shortly after the TSU failed to win any legislative seats in the 2016 elections.^[5]
