Wang Shu-hui
Taiwanese politician
Wang Shu-hui (Chinese: 王淑慧; pinyin: Wáng Shúhùi; born 2 December 1955) is a Taiwanese political scientist, linguist, and former legislator for the Democratic Progressive Party in Taiwan.
Wang Shu-hui has on occasion participated in physical confrontations during her time as a Taiwanese legislator, including one incident involving a thrown shoe. In 2006, Wang shoved a transportation proposal on opening links with mainland China in her own mouth to prevent it being voted upon. She later spat the proposal out and tore it up.
She was defeated by Lin Hung-chih of the Kuomintang for Taipei County constituency 6 in the 2008 legislative election.
Wang subsequently won election to the New Taipei City Council in 2010, 2014, and 2018. In January 2022, during her third term as city councilor, the New Taipei City District Court sentenced Wang to nine years imprisonment for fraud that had taken place during her first term in office. Wang was found to have listed relatives as members of her staff, then collected the wages and subsides set aside for them.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Wang Shu-hui” as taiwanese politician. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as taiwanese politician. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
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 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7967625. VIAF identifies the subject as 21268297. The Library of Congress control number is n89121714. 2 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1955, 2006, 2008 and 2010.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
