Su Chi (; born 1 October 1949) is a Taiwanese politician. Su served as Secretary-General of the National Security Council from 2008 to 2010. Previously, he was the Minister of the Mainland Affairs Council of the Executive Yuan from 1 February 1999 to 19 May 2000.[1]
Su coined the phrase 1992 Consensus in early 2000 to describe the position on One China issues that developed following the October–November 1992 discussions between the Strait Exchange Foundation (SEF) and the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS).[2]
In 2005, Su accompanied Kuomintang Chairperson Lien Chan to visit Nanjing in Jiangsu to meet with the high officials of Chinese Communist Party (CCP).[3]
In June 2013, Su and delegates led by Kuomintang (KMT) Honorary Chairman Wu Po-hsiung visited China and met with CCP general secretary Xi Jinping. The delegation included KMT Vice Chairpersons Hung Hsiu-chu and Huang Min-hui. This was his first visit to China after he left the National Security Council (NSC), citing that the ROC law prohibits him to visit China at least three years after he had left his NSC post.[4]
Su Chi's younger brother is Su Yeong-chin.[6]
