My Take
What fascinates me about Wang Hung-wei is the pivot from asking the questions to answering them. A journalist learns exactly how power dodges and spins, so when someone with that training takes a seat in the Legislative Yuan, I imagine the usual evasions land a little flatter. Born in Keelung and educated at National Chengchi University, she moved from the New Party to the KMT and won her Taipei seat in 2023. Taiwanese politics is close to home for our readers yet oddly under-followed, and I think reporters-turned-legislators are precisely the figures worth watching with care.
