Tan arrived in France as a refugee from Cambodia in 1975, as his Chinese Cambodian family fled the Khmer Rouge. They settled in Tours, before he moved to Paris for his studies. He then joined his two sisters in working for their father's business.

In Parliament, Tan serves as member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs.[2] In addition to his committee assignments, he is the president of the French-Chinese Parliamentary Friendship Group.
