Kuan Chung (; born 9 June 1940), also known by his English name John Kuan, is a Taiwanese politician who was president of the Examination Yuan of the Republic of China from 2008 to 2014.[1]
After graduating from National Chengchi University with a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in diplomacy, Kuan completed advanced studies in the United States, where he earned a Ph.D. from the Fletcher School at Tufts University.[2] He had also studied at National Taiwan University and the University of Indianapolis.
Kuan is of Manchu descent, belonging to the Plain White Banner. His surname Kuan is the sinicized form of his clan (hala) name Gūwalgiya (Manchu:).
Kuan's daughter, Wendy Kuan (關雲娣), died in May 2011 after she fell from the kitchen window of her 27th floor apartment in Shanghai. It was rumored that she committed suicide because her husband, Zero Lin (林哲樂), was having an affair. Kuan has avoided meeting Lin ever since his daughter's death, refusing to attend any family events where his son-in-law would be present.[3]
