Chang Ching-sen (Chinese: 張景森; pinyin: Zhāng Jǐngsēn; born 8 October 1959) is a Taiwanese politician and devoted to the issues of resolving the North-South divide in Taiwan. [1][2][3][4]

Early life[]

Chang obtained his bachelor's and doctoral degrees in civil engineering from National Taiwan University in 1982 and 1991, respectively.

Political career[]

In the mid-2000s, Chang was the vice chairman of the Council for Economic Planning and Development.[5] He served as an advisor to Ko Wen-je's 2014 Taipei mayoral campaign.[6][7] He was named a policy advisor to Tsai Ing-wen's 2016 presidential bid.[8] After Tsai won, her designated premier Lin Chuan named Chang to the cabinet as a minister without portfolio on 7 April 2016.[9] Three weeks before he took office on 20 May, Chang made controversial comments on Facebook about an urban renewal project in Shilin District.[10] He apologized via Facebook two days after making the post,[11] but later chose to deactivate his account on the social media platform.[12]

Cross-strait relations[]

In September 2016 Chang made an unofficial statement that Mainland Chinese tourists are Taiwan's most needed friends, and to the Taiwanese that there is a difference between the Mainland Chinese people and the Mainland Chinese government.[13]
