Frederik Bao

Frederik Bao (Chinese: 包偉人; Pinyin: Bāo Wěirén; June 17, 1896 - August 5, 1967) was a Tsengian politician, revolutionary, and author who served as the 4th president of Tseng from 1962 to 1965.

Early life and education
Bao Weiren was born in 1896 to poor Chinese immigrants in Dutch Tseng. He didn't get an education until he was 8, and he attended a Dutch school, so he changed his name to Frederik.

Bao graduated from Der Willemstad University in 1918 with a degree in engineering. Bao avoided conscription for the First World War by escaping to Shanghai, China.

Political career
Bao's father was a socialist, and that influenced Bao greatly. In 1923, while in China, he joined the. In 1945, he resigned from the Party and returned to Tseng, which he joined the Socialist Party. In 1958, when all far-left parties were outlawed, he automatically joined the PDP. However, he was secretly involved in the Communist Party of Tseng, an underground organization at the time.

He quickly gained popularity and was an icon of the Tsengian far-left. Bao regularly criticized Jack Lin, the PDP president at the time.

Presidency (1962-1965)
Bao became president after the Longtan Coup on March 11, 1962. Almost immediately, he was met with outrage. Bao responded by giving the order for the police to kill or arrest anyone who protested or criticized Bao's rule (although he didn't declare martial law).

On June 12, 1962, Bao switched recognition from the Republic of China (Taiwan) to the People's Republic of China (PRC). Inspired by the, Bao ordered all "colonialist buildings and media" to be destroyed. Soon, many people became homeless because those buildings built by the Europeans were their homes. Bao decided to reverse the problem by building baogongyu, which were 3 to 5-story concrete apartment buildings. They were inspired by, Soviet apartments. Those baogongyu had inadequate services, and most had no electricity, making the Tsengian people distrust Bao even more.

In the later years of his presidency, there were more and more protests against Bao's rule. In addition, there were attempted coup d'etats and assassinations on Bao by the Tsengian Armed Forces, right-wingers, and even moderate liberals and socialists. On June 9, 1965, he was removed from power in a coup by Robert Bei-yang. Bao was subsequently exiled from Tseng.

Later years
Bao hid in Shanghai and later Tianjin, China. During this period, he described himself as a "reformed" man. However, many Tsengians were angry with him for destroying Tseng and causing political conflict.

In August 1967, he decided to secretly return to Tseng to remove rightist Paul Zhang from power. At the airport, a whistleblower named Henry Chang, who was previously loyal to Bao, reported him to Tsengian authorities.

Death
On August 4, 1967, Bao was arrested by Tsengian police. A day later, he was executed by right-wing terrorists after the Tsengian government ordered the terrorists to execute him.
