Yin Rugong - Injokou

A Chinese pro-Japanese politician. His courtesy name was Yinong. He was from Pingyang County, Zhejiang Province. He was well versed in Japanese affairs, and his wife was Japanese. He studied in Japan at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and while attending the old Seventh High School, he played an active role in the Xinhai Revolution with his brother Yin Ruli. After the failure of the Second Revolution, he returned to Japan and graduated from the Department of Politics at Waseda University. After returning to China, he served as a secretary to a member of the House of Representatives in the Beijing government. In 1926, he participated in the Guo Songling Rebellion, which failed and led to his defection to Japan. He later joined the Nationalist government and deepened his ties with the pro-Japanese Huang Fu. When he was Foreign Minister General, he became a special correspondent in Japan and was considered the de facto diplomatic representative in Japan. In 1935, when Japan plotted to separate North China and expelled Kuomintang forces from Hebei Province, he organized the Jidong Anti-Communist Autonomous Government in Tongzhou with Japan's backing and became its governor. The government, which controlled 23 counties in Jidong (Ji is another name for Hebei Province), was famous for officially approving smuggling by the Japanese. In 1937, the government's troops rebelled and killed over 100 Japanese residents in the Tongzhou Incident, forcing him to resign as governor. He then lived in seclusion in Beijing, but was executed as a traitor in 1947 after Japan's surrender.
