King earned his bachelor's degree in journalism from Chinese National Chengchi University, then studied abroad to earn a master's degree in mass communications from Texas Tech University and a Ph.D. in journalism from the University of Texas, Austin in United States.[8]
King had taught at National Chengchi University. He also had taught at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in Hong Kong.[9]
As Secretary-General, King pledged to sort out financial questions of national funds that had been mixed with party assets,[7] and urged party members to provide more than "lip service" to support party candidates in the run-up to the mayoral elections at the end of 2010.[10]
King is alleged to be related to the last Qing emperor Puyi, although lack of genealogical evidence has raised suspicions.[11] Were his relation to the imperial family true, he would also be the cousin of Puru and his surname King a sinified adoption of the Qing imperial clan name Aisin Gioro.
