Career

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 and the University of San Francisco.[2] An 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]

gollark: The internal M.2 slot functionality *is* pretty nice, though, I must say.
gollark: Having options is probably a good thing, but Librem seems more focused on a full FOSSy ecosystem for communication and whatnot rather than just hardware like PinePhone.
