Li Zhenxiu case a loyalty breachBy Mark Chen 陳唐山Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) Legislator Li Zhenxiu (李貞秀), who was born in China and moved to Taiwan after marrying a Taiwanese citizen, is one of the party’s new legislators-at-large. I explained my legal obligation to assume public office in Taiwan. This highlights the paradox for people with such status holding public office in Taiwan. Moreover, the Constitutional Court has repeatedly clarified the duty of loyalty required of civil servants. This was deemed to serve the legitimate purpose of maintaining loyalty between the state and its civil servants.
