Yao Kao-chiao (Chinese: 姚高橋; pinyin: Yáo Gāoqiáo; born c. 1940) is a Taiwanese politician and former police officer.
[12] Yao drew criticism for missing a meeting of the Legislative Yuan in April 2000, despite the fact that he had applied for leave and had gone to Kinmen to discuss borrowing patrol boats from the Republic of China Armed Forces.
Instead, Yao took office on 25 October 2001,[3] succeeding Tseng Chen-nung [zh] on the party list compiled for proportional representation.
[15] The Kuomintang's deliberations with the People First Party took two months, after which Huang Jun-ying was named the Pan-Blue Coalition's joint candidate for Kaohsiung.
[16][17] Days before the election in December 2002, Yao stated that he would support incumbent Frank Hsieh of the Democratic Progressive Party.
