'''Mo Teh-hui''' ({{zh|c=莫德惠|p=Mò Déhùi|w=Mo Teh-hui}}; 1883 in [[Xinjiang|Xinjiang Province]], [[Qing dynasty|Qing Dynasty]] – April 17, 1968 in [[Taipei]], [[Taiwan]]) was a nationalist Chinese politician.

==Biography==
Mo was born in 1883 in Xinjiang, to a [[Uyghurs|Uyghur]] mother and [[Manchu people|Manchu]] father.<ref>{{cite book|author=Moh Teh-hui [莫德惠]|script-title=zh:《民國莫柳忱先生德惠自訂年譜》|oclc=818929910}}</ref> He was born while his father was serving under General [[Zuo Zongtang]] in the [[Dungan revolt (1862–77)]], fighting against [[Yakub Beg of Yettishar|Yaqub Beg]] in Xinjiang. Mo's family then moved to a part of [[Jilin]], a former province which is now part of [[Heilongjiang]]. Mo's political career started in 1921, in [[Binjiang]] County (near [[Harbin]]) of [[Manchuria]]. As the [[county magistrate]], Mo divided the county into five defense districts coterminous with the regular police districts, and recruited men into the constabulary to defend the whole county against bandits.<ref>[http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-152922866.html http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-152922866.html], Ma Fang, HRZ, (v.5, 1994), 56.</ref>  He held that post until 1912, when he was elected to the provisional National Assembly of the newly established [[Republic of China (1912–1949)|Republic of China]].

He was Acting Minister of Agriculture and Commerce (1925) and Minister of Agriculture and Industry (1927–28) of China and, in the interim, served as the Civil Governor of [[Liaoning|Fengtian]]. In the [[Huanggutun Incident]] of 1928, he was on the same train with Marshall [[Zhang Zuolin]] and fortunately escaped with only a leg injury.

Following the reorganization of the [[Chinese Eastern Railway]] in 1929 and after the conclusion of the Sino-Russian complications, Mo was appointed president of the Board of Directors ("duban") of the railway. He was later appointed as the official representative of the Chinese Government for the purpose of negotiating a settlement of outstanding problems pertaining to the administration of the C.E.R. He was appointed plenipotentiary delegate to the Sino-Russian Conference at Moscow in May 1930. Mo visited USSR for up to 25 talks, but returned to China in December 1930 due to a deadlock of the conference. After Japan's [[Japanese invasion of Manchuria|Invasion of Manchuria]] on September 18, 1931, the USSR sold its interests in C.E.R. to Japan's puppet state [[Manchukuo]].

In 1938, Mo became a nonpartisan member of the {{ill|National Political Assembly|zh|國民參政會}} at [[Chongqing]], the National Government's wartime seat, and was named chairman of the assembly's presidium in 1942. After the war, he served as a nonpartisan delegate to the [[Political Consultative Conference]]. He was also a delegate to the [[National Assembly]] when it reconvened later in 1946, and was elected vice chairman of the commission for the supervision of the enforcement of constitutional government, becoming its chairman in September 1948. He served on the [[State Council of the Republic of China|State Council]] in 1947-48, and ran for the Vice Presidency of the [[Republic of China (1912–1949)|Republic of China]] in 1948. He was appointed as the president of the [[Examination Yuan]], after the [[Kuomintang]] retreated from the mainland to the island of [[Taiwan]] (1954–66).<ref>[http://rulers.org/indexm5.html http://rulers.org/indexm5.html]-rulers.org</ref>
