Chen Po-wei (Chinese: 陳柏惟; born 10 July 1985)[citation needed] is a Taiwanese politician. He was elected to the Legislative Yuan in the 2020 legislative election.
Political career
Chen served as the spokesperson for the Taiwan Statebuilding Party (then known as Taiwan Radical Wings) and supported a recall movement against Kaohsiung City Mayor Han Kuo-yu. Throughout his political career, he has been a vocal supporter of Taiwan independence.[1]
In the 2020 legislative elections, Chen defeated Kuomintang incumbent Yen Kuan-heng in the Taichung City Constituency II becoming the first Taiwan Statebuilding Party legislator. His candidacy was supported by the Democratic Progressive Party and filmmaker Wu Nien-jen.[2]
In late 2020, Chen stood with Democratic Progressive Party to support the import of pork with ractopamine.[3]
In early 2021, Chen has been listed by KMT on the next round recall legislators due to his dereliction of duty: not being able to defend the public health on the matter of ractopamine pork import. Chen claimed there should be much more in front of him who should be recalled since he's not the main player in this game.
