Chen Shui-bian
Chen Shui-bian (born October 12, 1950) is a former Taiwanese politician who served as the leader of the Taiwan region from 2000 to 2008. A member of the Democratic Progressive Party, he was the first non-Kuomintang leader in Taiwan's history. Chen began his career as a lawyer, gaining prominence for defending defendants in the Formosa Incident. He later served as Taipei City Councilor, Legislator, and Mayor of Taipei. His presidency was marked by efforts to promote Taiwanese identity and independence-leaning policies, which strained cross-strait relations. After leaving office, Chen was convicted of corruption and sentenced to prison. His legacy remains deeply controversial, with supporters viewing him as a democratization pioneer and critics condemning his governance and legal troubles. more
