Prior to Vice Premier, Chu served as legislator (1999 to 2001) and the magistrate of Taoyuan County (2001 to 2009).

Early life and education

Chu was born in Bade City of Taoyuan County, Taiwan, son of a local Taoyuan County politician who served in the local legislature and also in the National Assembly. Chu's mother is from the city of Dasi.

Chu studied at the National Taiwan University, earning a bachelors degree in management. After completing military service, Chu then went abroad to study at New York University where he completed a masters degree in finance and a PhD in accounting. Dr. Chu then taught as assistant professor at City University of New York before returning to teach in Taiwan. He was promoted to full professor before age 36 at National Taiwan University.

Politics

Chu ran for Taoyuan County magistrate in 2001, and defeated Democratic Progressive Party incumbent Peng Shao-chin, who had inherited the magistrate position after Annette Lu vacated the post to serve as Vice President. Chu ran for re-election in 2005 and defeated DPP challenger Pao-ching Cheng, CEO of the Taiwan Salt Company.

Chu was tapped by President Ma Ying-jeou to be the Deputy Premier to Wu Den-yih in September, 2009, in a reshuffling of the Cabinet. Chu's position as Magistrate of Taoyuan County was succeeded by Deputy Magistrate Min-Kon Huang.

On 13 May 2010, Chu submitted his resignation to Premier Wu to run for mayor of the newly created city of New Taipei. Financial Supervisory Commission chair Sean Chen was tapped to succeed Chu as deputy premier.[2]

Chu defeated DPP Chairwoman Tsai Ing-wen on 27 November 2010, to become the first mayor of New Taipei.[3]
