Hsieh Kuo-liang (traditional Chinese: 謝國樑; simplified Chinese: 谢国梁; pinyin: Xiè Guóliáng; Wade–Giles: Hsieh Kuo-liang; born 5 October 1975) is a Taiwanese politician.
Education
After earning a bachelor's degree in sociology from the University of Southern California, Hsieh attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[1]
Political career
A member of the Kuomintang, Hsieh represented Keelung in the Legislative Yuan until 2016. In 2009, he proposed an amendment to the Computer-Processed Personal Data Protection Act that would make it legal for elected officials to examine personal records without informing the individual subject to investigation.[2] The next year, Hsieh was named the co-chair of the Judiciary and Organic Laws and Statutes Committee.[3] In 2013, Next Magazine reported that he and a small group of legislators had been subject to wiretapping by the Ministry of Justice since 2011.[4] Hsieh was the party's top choice to run for the mayoralty of Keelung City in 2014, after original candidate Huang Ching-tai's nomination had been withdrawn.[5] He repeatedly refused the mayoral nomination and campaigned for Hsieh Li-kung instead.[6][7] In February 2015, Hsieh Kuo-liang announced that he would not seek reelection, because his party had been soundly defeated in the November 2014 local elections.[8]
