Johnny Chiang

Johnny Chiang Chi-chen (Chinese: 江啟臣; pinyin: Jiāng Qǐchén; Wade–Giles: Chiang1 Chʻi3-chʻên; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Kang Khé-sîn; born 2 March 1972) is a Taiwanese politician and former international political economy scholar who is currently the vice president of the Legislative Yuan.

[4] Chiang taught at the Department of Political Science of Soochow University as a full-time associate professor,[5] and worked in multiple positions at the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research.

[6] When Chiang was selected as a Kuomintang candidate for the legislature in April 2011,[8] he resigned the GIO position and was replaced by Philip Yang [zh].

[12] Chiang announced his intention to contest the Taichung mayoralty in October 2017, becoming the second Kuomintang politician after Lu Shiow-yen to declare interest in the position.

[13] It was reported in February 2018 that Chiang had narrowly finished second to Lu in three different public opinion polls that served as the Kuomintang's Taichung mayoral primary.

[18][19] In March 2021, KMT chairman Johnny Chiang rejected the "one country, two systems" as a feasible model for Taiwan, citing Beijing's response to protests in Hong Kong as well as the value that Taiwanese place in political freedoms.
