Yang registered an account on the website of the National Socialism Association in 2006, when he was in middle school.[2]
In 2008, Yang joined the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and took part in Wild Strawberries Movement. He quit the DPP in 2009.[3]
In 2014, Yang and his friend Wu Bai-wei formed the "Tridemist Youth League" (三民主義青年團), during which he met and discussed cooperation with Chang An-lo, president of the Chinese Unification Promotion Party, which appeal to Chinese unification.[4] This Youth League shares the same name with Kuomintang's historical youth wing (1938–1947).
