On 15 March 2016, president-elect of the Republic of China Tsai Ing-wen named Lin Chuan premier.[1] He was confirmed by the Legislative Yuan soon after and took office on 20 May 2016.
On 3 September 2017, Premier Lin Chuan tendered his resignation to President Tsai Ing-wen, which was reluctantly accepted. A recent poll showed Lin's approve rating to be a mere 28.7%, with 6 in 10 respondents dissatisfied with the performance of his cabinet.[2]
