Wu Rong-i (Chinese: 吳榮義; pinyin: Wú Róngyì; born 15 December 1939) is a Taiwanese politician. Wu was the Vice Premier in 2005–2006.,^[1] and now serves as senior advisor to Tsai Ing-wen, current President of Taiwan, and as Chairman of Taiwania Capital Management Corporation, the investment arm of Taiwan.

In 1962 and 1965, Wu received his B.A. and M.A. degrees in economics from the National Taiwan University. Subsequently, in 1967 he went to the Catholic University of LeuveninBelgium where he obtained an M.Sc. degree in 1968 and a Ph.D. in 1971, both in economical sciences.^{[citation needed]}

From 1992 to 1993, Wu served as Commissioner and Member of the Fair Trade Commission (Taiwan). He became Director and President of the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research from 1993 until 2005, and from 2005 onwards he was Vice Premier of the Executive Yuan of Taiwan. From 2001 to 2005, Wu was President and Chairman of Taiwan Stock Exchange. He has also served as Chairman of Taiwan Brain Trust and Taiwan Futures Exchange, and as Advisor to the Taiwan delegation to the APEC Ministerial and Leaders' Meetings.^{[citation needed]}

In October 2005, Wu said that Chinese unification is highly unlikely to happen during his lifetime unless Beijing uses force. However, he considers mainland China a big brother, and wishes to take the opportunity for Taiwanese to invest in the mainland and have peaceful relations with them.^[2]

In early October 2013 during the cross-strait peace forum in Shanghai in which attended by officials from the Chinese Communist Party, Pan-Blue Coalition and Pan-Green Coalition, Wu proposed the idea that Taiwan and mainland China represent an "allegiance of brotherhood".^[3]
