Sean Chen (politician)
Chen Chun (Chinese: 陳冲; pinyin: Chén Chōng; born 13 October 1949), also known as Sean Chen in English, is a former Premier of the Republic of China, a member of the ruling Kuomintang Party.
Personal
Chen was born in Taiwan. He earned a BA degree (1971) and MA degree (1973) in law from the National Taiwan University.
Politics
FSC Chairmanship
Sean Chen's popularity grew in Taiwan when he was the Chairman of the Financial Supervisory Commission who signed three Memoranda of Understanding with his Mainland Chinese counter parties in January 2010 in the field of Banking, Insurance and Investments. This was viewed as a major milestone in furthering economic ties with the Chinese, allowing Taiwanese financial institutions access to the Mainland's vast and fast growing markets. In a discussion with Sam Radwan that appeared in an article in Bloomberg Businessweek he showed confidence that he would be able to achieve preferential treatment for Taiwan in what is considered by many foreign financial services institutions to be a market where Chinese regulators have not provided a level playing field.

Ex-Premier Sean Chen pitches ‘fat tax’ after mayor gains 10 pounds｜Taiwan News
Could a fat tax reduce obesity? A former premier has pitched a tax on fattening foods, after Tainan Mayor Huang Wei-che admitted to gaining 10 kilograms since assuming office. Such a tax has been implemented before, by some 50 countries worldwide. But here in Taiwan, the proposal has sparked a mixed public reaction. Tainan Mayor Huang Wei-che says he weighs nearly 90 kilograms, that he’s gained 10 kilograms since taking office. The admission led ex-Premier Sean Chen to propose a “fat tax” – a tax on foods likely to pack on the pounds. Majid Ezzati (April 2, 2016) Imperial College London professor It’s a hard battle, but it’s a battle that is costing…that is influencing people’s health.

Majid Ezzati (April 2, 2016)
Imperial College London professor
It’s a hard battle, but it’s a battle that is costing…that is influencing people’s health.
Several countries already have taxes on fattening foods, particularly on sugary drinks. For instance, the U.K. imposes a NT$7 per liter tax on drinks containing 50 to 80 grams of sugar per liter. France’s soda tax is about NT$247 per 100 liters, while Saudi Arabia has a 50% tax on carbonated beverages. Denmark once decreed a tax on foods containing more than 2.3% saturated fat, charging NT$80 per kilogram.
Member of public
I think it’s pretty reasonable. Because if you consume too much sugar, you can develop diabetes.
Member of public
I really have a sweet tooth. If prices went up, I might buy less sugary foods.
Member of public
I feel that the tax needs some supportive measures. Otherwise it would just feel like price inflation.
Public reactions to the fat tax are mixed. And the data is inconclusive on how effective a fat tax really is. Denmark, for instance, repealed its fat tax after just over a year, because there was no change to consumer behavior. The tax also had a harmful effect on employment. Research shows that lowering the price of fruits and vegetables is a more effective way to shape dietary habits, particularly among low-income consumers.
Huang Wei-che
Tainan mayor
We respect the fat tax proposal. We also want to encourage people to live healthier lives.

When it comes to weight loss, it needs to start from a young age, so you need to have healthy foods in the home environment from childhood. School education and providing healthy foods in schools is also a way of creating a healthy environment.
With the verdict still out on the fat tax, experts suggest starting out with dietary interventions in homes and schools.

STORYLINE:
Taiwan's new Premier and the newly appointed members of his cabinet were sworn in on Monday at a simple ceremony at the Executive Yuan, the administrative office of Taiwan's government.
Newly re-elected President Ma Ying-jeou appointed financial expert Sean Chen as Taiwan's premier last week in a Cabinet reshuffle aimed at helping the island achieve steady economic growth during his second term.
Chen, the incumbent vice premier, replaced Wu Den-yih, who will be elevated to the vice-presidency as a result of Ma's victory in elections on January 14.
Chen was formerly head of the Financial Supervisory Commission.
As vice premier, he oversaw Taiwan's opening of its financial service sector to investment by Chinese banks.
Ma said he expected Chen to help steer Taiwan through the European debt crisis and global economic uncertainty with his financial and legal expertise.
The new premier immediately announced a Cabinet lineup heavy with economic and financial experts, apparently aimed at helping Taiwan's export-driven economy deal with waning overseas demand for its goods.
"I hope that everyone in different ministries will put together your efforts to work out an efficient strategy and build a healthy business structure to improve our economy," Chen said during a brief speech at Monday's ceremony.
The incoming Cabinet is a mixture of the old and the new.
Economics Minister Shih Yen-shiang will be retained while Christina Liu, the incumbent top economic planner, will become the finance minister.
Among the new members are former Kaohsiung County Commissioner Yang Chiu-hsing, former KMT legislator Lin Yih-shih and Chen Yi-chen, all of whom lost their bids for local elections.
Ma's second term begins in May.

Chen responded today, saying that Sheu, who was deputy finance minister when Chen was premier, should have come up with a reform proposal himself.Sean Chen (July 18)Former PremierWhen the tax rates the tax base is paying are too high, it can erode the value of the property. Former Premier Sean Chen has repeatedly criticized house taxes as being too high and has urged the administration to abolish or lower the tax levied on residences lived in by their owners. But Finance Minister Sheu Yu-jer had his own thoughts on Chen''s proposal.Sheu Yu-jerFinance MinisterCurrent regulations already waive the house tax for homes valued at NT$100,000 and under! But is it possible to totally do away with the house tax? If he thinks that’s a good idea, why didn’t he push for it while he was in office? Why didn’t he ask the finance minister at the time to do something about it? Chen fired back at Sheu’s remarks.Voice of Sean ChenFormer PremierWhen I was in office, Sheu was the deputy finance minister, and he was surely better placed than I was to notice the problems in that part of our tax code. He was handling tax matters, so it only makes sense that he should have been the one giving me advice on this.Sheu emphasized that local government authorities in Taipei, where house taxes are highest, are already preparing their own reforms of the system. The new regulations, which are expected to go into effect as soon as next year, could well serve as a standard for other cities and counties across Taiwan.

Chen fired back at Sheu’s remarks.Voice of Sean ChenFormer PremierWhen I was in office, Sheu was the deputy finance minister, and he was surely better placed than I was to notice the problems in that part of our tax code. He was handling tax matters, so it only makes sense that he should have been the one giving me advice on this.Sheu emphasized that local government authorities in Taipei, where house taxes are highest, are already preparing their own reforms of the system.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has renewed his threat to take over Taiwan, while Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen called for peaceful coexistence with Beijing. The two leaders’ New Year comments come just ahead of the Taiwan presidential election that could have a big impact on Taiwan-China relations. Voice of America’s Bill Gallo reports from Taipei.
Ringing in the New Year in Taiwan. A festive mood. But plenty of uncertainty ahead of an election that will shape the future of this democratic island.
In a New Year speech, President Tsai Ing-wen called for Taiwan to safeguard peace and democracy.
Tsai Ing-wen
Taiwan president
We also hope the two sides will jointly seek a long-term and stable way of peaceful coexistence under peace, parity, democracy and dialogue.
In Beijing, a different vision. President Xi Jinping renewed China’s threat to take over Taiwan.
Xi Jinping
China president
China will surely be reunified, and all Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait should be bound by a common sense of purpose and share in the glory of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
On the streets of Taipei, there’s virtually no appetite for what Xi is proposing.
Wu Kuan
Taipei resident
I don’t want to be a part of China. I think of myself as Taiwanese. I’m not Chinese.
Sean Chen
Taipei resident
For me, Taiwan is Taiwan, China is China. It’s too different.
Wilbur Su
Taipei resident
I think China is China, and Taiwan is Taiwan. I feel right now it is good. We don’t need to do any change.
Next week, Taiwan holds a general election. The ruling party candidate holds a slight lead over his opposition rival. The opposition has traditionally supported closer ties with Beijing.
But that position has gotten much harder to maintain, as China increases its military threats against Taiwan.
In recent months, Chinese military aircraft and ships have come closer than ever to Taiwan – a reminder of danger on the horizon.

Could a fat tax reduce obesity? A former premier has pitched a tax on fattening foods, after Tainan Mayor Huang Wei-che admitted to gaining 10 kilograms since assuming office. Such a tax has been implemented before, by some 50 countries worldwide. But here in Taiwan, the proposal has sparked a mixed public reaction.
Tainan Mayor Huang Wei-che says he weighs nearly 90 kilograms, that he’s gained 10 kilograms since taking office. The admission led ex-Premier Sean Chen to propose a “fat tax” – a tax on foods likely to pack on the pounds.
Majid Ezzati (April 2, 2016)
Imperial College London professor
It’s a hard battle, but it’s a battle that is costing…that is influencing people’s health.
Several countries already have taxes on fattening foods, particularly on sugary drinks. For instance, the U.K. imposes a NT$7 per liter tax on drinks containing 50 to 80 grams of sugar per liter. France’s soda tax is about NT$247 per 100 liters, while Saudi Arabia has a 50% tax on carbonated beverages. Denmark once decreed a tax on foods containing more than 2.3% saturated fat, charging NT$80 per kilogram.
Member of public
I think it’s pretty reasonable. Because if you consume too much sugar, you can develop diabetes.
Member of public
I really have a sweet tooth. If prices went up, I might buy less sugary foods.
Member of public
I feel that the tax needs some supportive measures. Otherwise it would just feel like price inflation.
Public reactions to the fat tax are mixed. And the data is inconclusive on how effective a fat tax really is. Denmark, for instance, repealed its fat tax after just over a year, because there was no change to consumer behavior. The tax also had a harmful effect on employment. Research shows that lowering the price of fruits and vegetables is a more effective way to shape dietary habits, particularly among low-income consumers.
Huang Wei-che
Tainan mayor
We respect the fat tax proposal. We also want to encourage people to live healthier lives.
Su Hsiu-yueh
Taipei Medical University Hospital Dept. of Dietetics
When it comes to weight loss, it needs to start from a young age, so you need to have healthy foods in the home environment from childhood. School education and providing healthy foods in schools is also a way of creating a healthy environment.
With the verdict still out on the fat tax, experts suggest starting out with dietary interventions in homes and schools.

STORYLINE:
Taiwan's new Premier and the newly appointed members of his cabinet were sworn in on Monday at a simple ceremony at the Executive Yuan, the administrative office of Taiwan's government.
Newly re-elected President Ma Ying-jeou appointed financial expert Sean Chen as Taiwan's premier last week in a Cabinet reshuffle aimed at helping the island achieve steady economic growth during his second term.
Chen, the incumbent vice premier, replaced Wu Den-yih, who will be elevated to the vice-presidency as a result of Ma's victory in elections on January 14.
Chen was formerly head of the Financial Supervisory Commission.
As vice premier, he oversaw Taiwan's opening of its financial service sector to investment by Chinese banks.
Ma said he expected Chen to help steer Taiwan through the European debt crisis and global economic uncertainty with his financial and legal expertise.
The new premier immediately announced a Cabinet lineup heavy with economic and financial experts, apparently aimed at helping Taiwan's export-driven economy deal with waning overseas demand for its goods.
"I hope that everyone in different ministries will put together your efforts to work out an efficient strategy and build a healthy business structure to improve our economy," Chen said during a brief speech at Monday's ceremony.
The incoming Cabinet is a mixture of the old and the new.
Economics Minister Shih Yen-shiang will be retained while Christina Liu, the incumbent top economic planner, will become the finance minister.
Among the new members are former Kaohsiung County Commissioner Yang Chiu-hsing, former KMT legislator Lin Yih-shih and Chen Yi-chen, all of whom lost their bids for local elections.
Ma's second term begins in May.

He will take over for Sean Chen, whose approval rating has suffered in the face of economic challenges and mixed pension reform signals.

Premier Sean Chen, this afternoon, convened a meeting of cabinet members to discuss the economy. Many believe the meeting is simply window dressing, an action with the simple goal of showing the people his commitment to the economy. Both pan-green and pan-blue legislators were skeptical of Chen's high profile cabinet meeting. Even KMT legislators had misgivings saying it was just the same old of old faces with little chance of new policies. Some even openly asked of changing the Finance and Economic ministers would be more effective.
