Tang Bi-a (Chinese: 唐碧娥; pinyin: Táng Bì'é; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tông Phek-ngô͘; born 3 May 1960) is a Taiwanese politician and former member of the Legislative Yuan. Tang is a supporter of the Taiwanese localization movement.
Legislative career
During her legislative career, Tang expressed her distaste for China by encouraging the boycott of Chinese products, in response to China's blockage of Taiwan's bid to join the World Health Assembly.[1]
She joined President Chen Shui-bian's entourage for a Central America summit in 2007.[2] Having been elected three times as legislator, Tang is an experienced member of the Democratic Progressive Party.
In November 2010, Tang was elected city councilor of Tainan, which is a special municipality after a merger between the provincial Tainan City and Tainan County.
In 2022, Tang chose not to seek re-election.[3]
