Stella Chou (Chinese: 周荃; born 3 July 1956) is a Taiwanese journalist and politician.
Career[edit]
Chou studied journalism at Chinese Culture University and worked as a reporter for several television networks.[1] She stood as a Kuomintang candidate for the 1989 Legislative Yuan elections,[2] and was reelected in 1992. In August 1993, she became a founding member of the Chinese New Party, alongside Chen Kuei-miao, Jaw Shaw-kong, Lee Ching-hua, Wang Chien-shien, and Yok Mu-ming.[3] Later that year, Chou coordinated New Party campaigns alongside Ju Gau-jeng.[4] Chou contested the 1995 legislative elections, winning a third term. She sought New Party backing for a 1997 bid at the Taipei County magistracy, and left the New Party when it chose to nominate Yang Tai-shun.[5] In 2002, business executive Su Hui-chen claimed that she bribed a legislative committee four years prior on which Chou was a member.[6][7][8]
