Ting Mao-shih (Chinese: 丁懋時; pinyin: Dīng Màoshí; 10 October 1925 – 15 September 2025) was a Taiwanese diplomat and politician.
Life and career
[edit]Ting attended the University of Paris and began working for the Central News Agency in 1956. He left two years later for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and began his diplomatic career.[2] He was named a special adviser to the president after Chen Shui-bian was elected to the office in 2000, but chose to retire via resignation in August of that year.[3] Ting served on a committee set up to investigate the 3-19 shooting incident of 2004,[4] and was an adviser to Chen's successor Ma Ying-jeou starting in 2011.[2]
Ting died in Taipei on 15 September 2025, 25 days short of his 100th birthday.[5][6]
