Chu Anping (simplified Chinese: 储安平; traditional Chinese: 儲安平; pinyin: Chǔ Ānpíng; Wade–Giles: Ch'u Anp'ing; 1909–1966?) was a Chinese scholar, liberal journalist and editor of Guancha (观察; Guānchá; 'The Observer') in the Civil War era of the late 1940s. He is widely considered to be one of the most famous liberals in China. He was Editor of the China Democratic League newspaper "for intellectuals", the Guangming Daily, in the PRC era. Following publication of his article entitled "The Party Dominates the World", he was attacked by Mao Zedong in the Hundred Flowers Campaign of 1957 and purged during the Anti-Rightist Movement. He disappeared in 1966. He was father to Chu Wanghua (储望华), a contemporary Chinese composer based in Australia, and grandfather to Mark Chu, a multidisciplinary artist.
