Yang Yao (Chinese: 楊曜; born 6 December 1966) is a Taiwanese politician.
Education
He attended National Magong High School in Magong, and studied law at Tunghai University.[1]
Political career
Yang was a member of the Penghu County Council from 2006 to 2012, when he was first elected to the Legislative Yuan.[1] While serving on the county council, Yang opposed mobilizing Penghu residents to support the building of a casino in the area.[2] The proposal was put to a referendum in September, and did not pass.[3][4] In December 2010, Yang attended a protest while President Ma Ying-jeou visited Penghu. Yang stated of the central government, "We are taking to the streets because county commissioners, legislators and the president have turned a blind eye to our problems. We are not asking much. We just want fair treatment."[5] In 2012, Yang succeeded Lin Pin-kuan as legislative representative for the Penghu County district.[6] Yang was reelected in 2016, and formed the Renewable Power Promotion Alliance alongside fellow legislators Chen Man-li, Su Chih-fen, and Chung Chia-pin in May 2017.[7]
