Zaifeng (12 February 1883 – 3 February 1965), formally known by his title Prince Chun, was a Manchu prince and a statesman of China. He was a son of Prince Chun, the seventh son of the Daoguang Emperor, and the father of the Xuantong Emperor. He was part of the Chinese delegation to the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, served as the Chinese Ambassador to the League of Nations from 1920 to 1925, and later as the Imperial Foreign Minister was in charge of China's diplomacy from 1932 until 1946. In that role he attempted to bargain with Japan leading up to and during the Second Sino-Japanese War, and negotiated with European and Anglo-American powers to make China one of the major powers in international politics by the end of World War II.
