KMT Secretary-General
As Secretary-General, King pledged to sort out financial questions of national funds that had been mixed with party assets, and urged party members to provide more than "lip service" to support party candidates in the run-up to the mayoral elections at the end of 2010.
Personal life
King is alleged to be related to the last Qing emperor Puyi, although lack of genealogical evidence has raised suspicions. Were his relation to the imperial family true, he would also be the cousin of Puru and his surname King a sinified adoption of the Qing imperial clan name Aisin Gioro.
