Chen Yin-ho (Chinese: 陳銀河) is a Taiwanese architect and politician.
Education and career
editAfter earning his bachelor's and master's degree in engineering science from Chinese Culture University,[1] Chen began working as an architect.[2] He led the National Association of Architects of the Republic of China and the Taiwan Architects Association.[1] He also served on the Construction Technique Review Committee and the Urban and Regional Planning Commission, both convened by the Ministry of the Interior.[1]
Chen was ranked fifth on the Taiwan Solidarity Union party list,[2] and elected to the Sixth Legislative Yuan in the 2004 legislative election.[1] After Robert Tsao penned and published an open letter in February 2005 stating that TSU members were considered "clowns" by members of the public, TSU-affiliated legislators Lo Chih-ming, David Huang, Tseng Tsan-teng, and Chen sued Tsao for libel.[3] Later that year, Chen, Huang Wei-cher, and Lai Shin-yuan filed a lawsuit alleging that Yen Ching-chang had violated Article 14-1 of the Civil Servant Services Act while serving as Taiwan's representative to the World Trade Organization.[4] In February 2006, Chen hosted a press conference, at which Hu Ya-ping, deputy director of the Aviation Police Office, announced that reporters would be barred from accessing restricted areas of the Chiang Kai-shek International Airport unless a special event was planned, or their employer had applied for and been granted approval to report from the airport.[5] In March 2007, Chen and his legislative colleague Kuo Su-chun expressed anger regarding the repeated absences of education minister Tu Cheng-sheng from legislative hearings.[6] In November of that year, Chen and Lo Chih-ming drew attention to disparities in funding distributed to Academia Sinica's Genomics Research Center compared to the national academy's Institute of Cellular and Organismic Biology.[7] During his tenure as a legislator, Chen led a task force convened to reduce hunting of the gray-faced buzzard.[8]
