Liao Hsiao-chun
Tiawanese journalist
Liao Hsiao-chun (Chinese: 廖筱君; pinyin: Liào Xiǎojūn; born 19 October 1967 in Xiluo Township, Yunlin County, Taiwan) is a Taiwanese TV presenter. She worked for many television/radio stations, such as TVBS-NEWS, FTV News, TTV, Era News, Voice of Taipei, Super TV and ETTV News. She is most famous for hosting the Chao ji da fu weng game show.
In 2017, Chiu Tai-san, the Taiwanese Justice Minister, threatened Liao with a libel lawsuit. However, Chiu resigned in July 2018, in a cabinet shuffle, which the government denied was meant as "a denial of outgoing Cabinet members", without suing Liao. Chiu had previously been the subject of a libel suit threat himself.
She opened the documentary film Braving the Peak in 2024.

Why this record matters
“Liao Hsiao-chun” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Liao, Hsiao-chun and Tiawanese provides the most credible route into that argument.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 17, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q6540112. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1967, 2017, 2018 and 2024.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
