ethnic politicking runs deep (green)

one of my pet hates is that the ethnic question seems to underpin politics in taiwan to such an extent that other issues--left/right, women, environment, &c.--dont' get much of a look in



ok, so i'm not adequately on the ball since the Daan by-election is over already, but i guess the Green Party hasn't got anything else to put on its English-language website but the profile of its candidate, Calvin Wen:



Hakka descent. M.A., Graduate Institute Of Building And Planning, National Taiwan University (NTU). B.A. in Agriculture, NTU. Formerly has served as secretary-general of the Green Party Taiwan, as a director of the Taiwan Environmental Action Network Association, as a Legislative Yuan congressional assistant; as a research assistant with the National Science Council, as general convener of the Taiwan delegation to the Global Greens 2008 Congress in Sao Paolo, Brazil, and as a Taiwan delegate to the Asia Pacific Greens Kyoto Meeting 2005.



top of the list?
