Legislative career

During her legislative career, Tang expressed her distaste in China by encouraging the boycott of Chinese product as a result of China's blockage of Taiwan's bid to join the World Health Assembly.[1]

Studying abroad, Tang has more experience on foreign affairs. She joined ROC President Chen Shui-bian's entourage for a Central America summit in 2007.[2] Having been elected three times as legislator, Tang is one of the most experienced female member of the Democratic Progressive Party.

In November 2010, Tang was elected city councilor of Tainan, which is a special municipality after a merger between the provincial Tainan City and Tainan County.
