Soong Tsu-wen (‘T. V.’) (1891–1971),brother-in-law of
Chiang Kai-shek and one of the ablest financial brains in the Chinese Nationalist government. He read economics at Harvard University and was minister of finance in Chiang Kai-shek's government from 1928 to 1931 before becoming chairman of the Bank of China. When the Japanese invaded in 1937 (see
China incident) Soong was put in charge of
economic warfare and was later sent to the USA as a special envoy where he negotiated a $100 million loan for his country. He remained in Washington throughout the war, serving first as China's minister of foreign affairs and, from December 1944, as its prime minister as well. See also
