Hsiao Uan-u (Chinese: 蕭苑瑜; born 12 October 1973) is a Taiwanese politician.
Education
The daughter of Hsiao Teng-wang, a former speaker of Chiayi City Council,[1] Hsiao Uan-u attended college in the United States at California State University, Northridge, where she graduated with a bachelor's degree in accounting before earning a master's degree in finance from Golden Gate University in San Francisco, California, in 1998. She later earned a Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) from Nanhua University in 2009 and earned her Ph.D. in business administration from National Chiayi University in 2016.[2]
Political career
Hsiao's uncle, Hsiao Teng-shi, ran her 1998 legislative campaign, and Hsiao Uan-u won due to her family's considerable political influence in Chiayi.[3] While in office, Hsiao Uan-u served as family spokesperson, as Hsiao Teng-piao, another paternal uncle, who, like her father, had served on the Chiayi City Council, chose to face charges of blackmail, illegal confinement, graft, and bribery.[4][5] Months after Hsiao Uan-u completed her term in January 2002, Hsiao Teng-piao was paroled.[1]
