Huang Tien-fu (; born 1938) is a Taiwanese politician.
Huang studied political science at National Taiwan University.[1]
Huang ran for a seat on the Legislative Yuan in 1980, a year after his elder brother Huang Hsin-chieh was arrested for leading the Kaohsiung Incident.[2] Relatives of other people involved in the Kaohsiung Incident also contested the 1980 election cycle and won, namely Chou Ching-yu and Hsu Jung-shu.[3] [4] While in office, Huang published several magazines affiliated with the tangwai movement, among them Vertical-Horizontal, Political Monitor, and Bell Drum Tower.[5] [6] Copies of the fifth issue of Bell Drum Tower were confiscated by the Kuomintang party-state in May 1983,[7] and Political Monitor was suspended in November.[5] After losing reelection in December,[8] Huang founded Neo Formosa Weekly in June 1984.[5] [9] Neo Formosa Weekly also drew the attention of the government, which banned all but one of its 52 issues.[5] [9] On 19 June 1984, "A Critique of New Marxism" was published in Neo Formosa Weekly, accusing Elmer Fung of plagiarism. Fung sued the magazine for libel in October.[10] On 12 January 1985, the Taipei District Court sentenced Chen Shui-bian, Lee I-yang and Huang Tien-fu to a year's imprisonment.[11] Upon appeal to the Taiwan High Court, all three sentences were shortened to eight months.[12] [13] The trio were released in February 1987.[14] Huang contested the 1989 Legislative Yuan primary for Taipei, but lost.[15] By forming an electoral coalition with Shen Fu-hsiung, Yeh Chu-lan, and Yen Chin-fu, Huang was elected to the Third Legislative Yuan.[16] [17] After Chen Shui-bian won the 2000 presidential election, he offered Huang a position as senior adviser,[18] which Huang held through 2006.[19] [20] Days before the 2008 presidential election, Huang stated, "I'm afraid that Taiwan will become the next Tibet. If the KMT wins the election, we don't know when we will [get the presidency] back."[21] He served the Tsai Ing-wen administration as national policy adviser.[22] In May 2022, the Transitional Justice Commission overturned libel charges against Huang dating back to his tenure on the Neo Formosa Weekly staff.[23]
Huang's wife Lan Mei-chin has also served on the Legislative Yuan.[24] [25]
