2020 Elections / Immigrant candidates hoping to effect change in Taiwan's Legislature
The number of first-generation "new immigrants" in Taiwan exceeded 556,000 as of the end of November 2019. The term "new immigrants" is generally used to describe people from China and Southeast Asia who have married into Taiwanese families in the past two decades, as well as their children. They are becoming increasingly politically active, and their votes are being wooed by Taiwan's major political parties.
CNA reporters have interviewed three "new immigrants" who are running for legislative seats in Taiwan's Jan. 11 elections. Take a look at who they are and what they are planning to do if they get elected.
