Wang died at the age of 90 on December 24, coinciding with the one-year anniversary of Koo Chen-fu's death in Taiwan, according to Chinese lunar calendar. Koo, chairman of the Taiwan-based Strait Exchange Foundation, and Wang in his role as president of ARATS made a milestone negotiation in Singapore in 1993, setting up the basis for any future dialogues between the two organizations.
