Su Chi (Chinese: 蘇起; pinyin: Sū Qǐ; born 1 October 1949) is a Taiwanese politician. Su served as Secretary-General of the National Security Council from 2008 to 2010. Previously, he was the Minister of the Mainland Affairs Council of the Executive Yuan from 1 February 1999 to 19 May 2000.[1]

Su coined the phrase 1992 Consensus in early 2000 to describe the position on One China issues that developed following the October–November 1992 discussions between the Strait Exchange Foundation (SEF) and the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS).[2]
