Xie Xuehong (or Hsieh Hsueh-hung, sometimes Sha Shets-ho in Taiwanese Hokkien; Chinese: 謝雪紅; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Siā Soat-hông; 17 October 1901 – 5 November 1970), born Siā A-lú (謝阿女), was a Taiwanese revolutionary and politician. A women's rights activist, she co-founded the Taiwanese Communist Party, active in Japanese Taiwan. Persecuted by the Kuomintang after its forces retreated to Taiwan, she escaped to China, where she became a member of the Taiwan Democratic Self-Government League and the Chinese Communist Party.
