Jiang Guangnai (Chinese: 蒋光鼐; pinyin: Jiǎng Guāngnài; Wade–Giles: Chiang Kuang-Nai; 1888–1967) was a general and statesman in the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China.

Defense of Shanghai

He became a bodyguard to Sun Yat-sen and, in 1932, was promoted to General and Commander in Chief of the 19th Route Army, leading it in the successful Defense of Shanghai against Japanese invasion in the January 28 Incident.

Fujian Incident

After the ceasefire was brokered, the 19th Army was reassigned by Chiang Kai-shek to suppress Chinese Communist insurrection in Fujian. They won some battles against the Communists but then negotiated peace with them. Jiang Guangnai joined an insurrection that, on 22 November 1933, established a new People's Revolutionary Government of the Republic of China (Chinese: 中華共和國), free from the control of Chiang's Nanjing government. The new Fujian government was not supported other warlords or by all elements of the communists and was quickly crushed by Chiang's armies in January 1934. Jiang escaped with his family to Hong Kong and the rest of the army was disbanded and reassigned into other units of the National Revolutionary Army.

World War II

During the Second Sino-Japanese War from 1939 to 1944 he returned to become Deputy Commander in Chief of the 4th War Area. In 1945, Deputy Commander in Chief of the 7th War Area.

Later years

After the Chinese Civil War, Mao assigned Jiang to be Minister of Textiles of the new People's Republic of China from 1950.

Most high-ranking officials struggled with the Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution. Jiang Guangnai, however, was saved by Zhou Enlai. Zhou carefully and cleverly arranged Jiang to join him and Mao Zedong on Tiananmen to inspect the Red Guards, some of whom has just stormed Jiang's home the previous day. During the inspection, Jiang's position was almost next to Mao. Zhou personally walked over to Jiang in front of the Red Guards, asking him how he was doing after the 'visit' by the Red Guards the day before. In front of Mao, Jiang was quick to reply that the Red Guards were still relatively civilized. After that, the Red Guards did not bother Jiang again. He died in 1967.
