Political career

Chang was a member of the Kuomintang until 1973, when he left to join the Tangwai movement and won his first political office, a seat on the Taipei City Council.[1] He served until 1977, when he was named to the Taiwan Provincial Consultative Council. During this period, Chang, Kang Ning-hsiang and Huang Shin-chieh published Taiwan Political Review, an opposition magazine.[1] Chang also edited another Tangwai publication, The Intellectual.[2] In 1979, Chang helped establish Formosa Magazine and served as the publication's chief editor.[3] The Kaohsiung Incident occurred later that year, and Chang was sentenced to twelve years imprisonment on charges of sedition.[4] He was released on 30 May 1987,[5] and became secretary general of the Democratic Progressive Party the next year.[2] In 1991, Chang was elected to the National Assembly. He resigned his seat to pursue a position as representative of Taipei South. Chang retained his position in the Legislative Yuan via party list proportional representation until 2005.
