Chen helps create Taiwan Thinktank

TSU Chairman Huang told reporters that former president Lee Teng-hui (李登輝) is glad to see that more Taiwan-first and localization-oriented organizations are coming forward to assist the government.

"Former president Lee's Taiwan Advocates (群策會) is meant to combine knowledge with the government's policy. The ultimate goals are to develop the economy, stabilize politics and strengthen Taiwan, and the forums under the Taiwan Thinktank have similar missions. These two think tanks have their respective functions and are not mutually exclusive," Huang said.

Apart from Lin Chia-lung and Ko Chen-en, the 15 members of the Taiwan Thinktank's board also include Taiwan Stock Exchange Chairman Lin Jong-shong (林鐘雄), Land Bank of Taiwan Chairman Wea Chi-lin (魏啟林), Cathay Life Insurance Chairman Tsai Hong-tu (蔡宏圖) and Credit Suisse First Boston Taiwan Director Kung Chao-sheng (龔照勝).
