Huang Chao-hui (Chinese: 黃昭輝; born 23 September 1946) is a Taiwanese politician who served on the second and sixth convocations of the Legislative Yuan.

Career

[edit]

Huang attended the Tainan Theological College and Seminary and became an ordained minister of the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan.[1][2]

He and ten others, including Chang Wen-ying and Kao Chun-ming, were jailed for aiding and abetting Shih Ming-teh, who was attempting to avoid government authorities during the Kaohsiung Incident of 1979.[3][4] Following his release, Huang managed Lin Li-chen's 1985 bid for a seat on the Kaohsiung City Council. The next year, Huang was charged with libel and assault by a supporter of another candidate. Though the case was dropped, prosecutors chose to bring legal action on grounds of "obstruction of freedom."[5] Still, Huang ran in the 1986 National Assembly elections, and won.[6] In March 1989, Huang was arrested for leading two protests in commemoration of the 228 Incident.[2] In August, the Kaohsiung District Court sentenced Huang to a total of eighteen months imprisonment for his role in the protests.[7] Huang retained his seat on the National Assembly and used his position to protest Kuomintang dominance of the parliamentary body.[8]

Huang ran for a seat on the Legislative Yuan as a representative of Kaohsiung South district in 1992. He led all candidates in vote share for the district and took office in February 1993.[9] During his first term as a member of the Legislative Yuan, Huang was involved in physical altercations with fellow legislators Shih Tai-sheng and Lo Fu-chu.[10][11] Huang was named a DPP legislative candidate for the second time in 2004, forming an electoral coalition with Tang Chin-chuan [zh], Kuo Wen-chen [zh], and Lo Chih-ming.[12] Huang won approximately 49,000 votes, again placing first in Kaohsiung South.[13] He was critical of how the Ministry of Justice's Investigation Bureau handled leaks relating to the Kaohsiung MRT foreign workers scandal, stating in November 2005 that bureau director Yeh Sheng-mao was "unable to control [his] staff" and that the Executive Yuan could not "control the bureau."[14]

Huang found himself in the midst of a public argument between Shih Ming-teh and Kao Chun-ming in 2006. Kuo called Shih, who was then leading the Million Voices campaign against Chen Shui-bian, greedy, materialistic, and a sellout. After Shih's response, Huang opined that Shih was a "beast," additionally asking him, "How could you say anything bad about your past benefactor? Don't you have a conscience?"[3] Huang and Lin Kuo-ching [zh] were charged with slander for calling Shih a "homeless mad dog," a "pervert," and a "bastard."[15] A March 2007 ruling by the Taipei District Court found them guilty,[16] a ruling that was upheld upon appeal in January 2008.[15] Huang ran in the 2008 legislative elections as the Democratic Progressive Party candidate for Kaohsiung's fourth district after refusing to participate in an inter-party primary against Taiwan Solidarity Union candidate Lo Chih-ming,[17] and lost to Lee Fu-hsing.[18]

Political stances

[edit]

Huang stated in 2005 that he was not opposed to laws regulating Cross-Strait relations, but that councils set up under the purview of such laws could violate the Constitution.[19] In 2007, the government of China announced the establishment of the Friendship Association for Enterprises Invested in by Taiwanese Compatriots, leading to Huang calling for a boycott of the group.[20][21]

Personal

Huang is married to Chen Ling-li.[22]
