Biography
Chou Ching-chun was born in 1943 in Haifeng County, Guangdong Province of a large family. He and his family was suppressed after the Chinese Communist Revolution, and he escaped to Hong Kong, then a British colony, by stowaway between 1961 and 1962. He moved to Taiwan after the Sino-British Joint Declaration because of his antipathy towards communism. He also held Taiwanese citizenship after 1949. He ran for the legislative seat of the Republic of China in 1995 while making Chinese unification claims, but changed his political views from anti-communist to pro-Communist after his crushing defeat.[1][2]
Chou was president of the Patriot Alliance Association (PAA) since 2018.[3]
Chou died at the Taipei City Hospital Zhongxing Branch on 16 June 2021, aged 77, from COVID-19.[3] His wife Lin Ming-mei was charged with violations of the Anti-Infiltration Act in July 2022, following an investigation into the PAA led by the Taipei District Prosecutors’ Office. Prosecutors stated that Chou would not be posthumously indicted.[4]
