Career

[edit | edit source]

Chao served three terms as a Member of Taoyuan County Council as a member of Kuomintang.[1] He lost his primary in 2014 and subsequently became an independent. He ran for a seat in Ward 3, a five-member ward, for Taoyuan City Council and was elected with most votes.

He ran for a seat in the Legislative Yuan as an independent for Taoyuan 6 in the 2016 election with the endorsement of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).[2] Though Chao is an independent, he caucuses with the DPP.[3][4]

As a legislator, Chao has been involved in discussions about the Ministry of Transportation and Communications,[5] general oversight of public transportation,[6][7][8] and the National Communications Commission.[9][10]

In the 2024 legislative election he lost his seat to Chiu Jo-Hua from the Kuomintang.

In 2020, Chao was implicated in collecting bribes of tens of millions of yuan from a pair of funeral businesses.[11][12][13] The following investigation revealed that in 2018, after receiving a bribe, Chao pressured officials from the Construction and Planning Agency to rezone nearly 20,000 square meters of land in the Yangmingshan National Park.[11][12][13] Investigators launched a search of the legislator's home to find NT$9.2 million in "bundles of cash".[11][12][13] Investigators also photographed the Legislator's assistant Lin Chia-chi throwing a bag of money out of a car window that contained matching bills to the money found at Chao's home.[11][12][13] The Taipei District Court ruled in July 2022 that Chen had was guilty of tax evasion, sentenced him six months imprisonment or a fine, and ordered to pay NT$60,000.[14][15]
