His doctoral dissertation was titled, "Constructing a sustainable impact assessment methodology: an evaluation of Taiwanese EIA of high-rise buildings".[4]
Interior Deputy Ministry
[edit | edit source]Migration to Northern Taiwan
[edit | edit source]In January 2014, commenting on the recent trend of massive migration of people from Southern to Northern Taiwan over the past six years, Hsiao said that measures will be taken to improve the infrastructure and social welfare, as well as to help young people in the less developed areas. Urban planning will also be reviewed in populated city areas.[5]
Executive Yuan Deputy Secretary-General
[edit | edit source]Sunflower Student Movement
[edit | edit source]In the aftermath of the students occupation of the Executive Yuan in March 2014 during the damage inspection of the Yuan accompanied by Secretary-General Lee Shu-chuan, Hsiao gave a statement which drew criticism from the public for giving more concern of his stolen suncake than the well-being of the wounded protesters. The offended public reacted by giving him back 150 boxes of suncake the next day. Hsiao however did not accept them, noting that in a democratic society it is acceptable for people to voice our their opinion but not to take other people's belonging.[6]
