Cheng Li-wun

Cheng Li-wun is one of those political figures who genuinely fascinates me because of how much ground she's covered ideologically — she started out in the Democratic Progressive Party back in the 1990s, represented Taipei in the National Assembly, and then made the jump to the Kuomintang, which takes a certain kind of conviction or pragmatism, and honestly I find that journey more interesting than most straightforward career paths. A National Taiwan University grad and trained lawyer, she brings a sharpness to her arguments that you don't always see in the legislature. Whether you agree with her positions or not, she's clearly someone who thinks hard about where Taiwan fits in the world, and that makes her worth paying attention to.
