Lin Fei-fan (; born 19 May 1988) is a Taiwanese politician and activist, currently serving as deputy secretary-general of Taiwan's National Security Council. Lin was one of the leaders of the Sunflower Student Movement. He joined the Democratic Progressive Party as deputy secretary-general in 2019.
Lin was born on 19 May 1988 in Tainan, Taiwan. After graduating from the Department of Political Science at National Cheng Kung University, Lin received his MA in political science from National Taiwan University in 2017 and a second MA in comparative politics from the London School of Economics in 2018.[1]
Court proceedings against 21 protesters began in June 2016. Lin was among the first to be charged with various offenses, along with Chen Wei-ting and Huang Kuo-chang.[2] In a March 2017 Taipei District Court decision, Chen, Huang, and Lin were acquitted of incitement charges.[3]
Lin joined the Democratic Progressive Party in July 2019 as deputy secretary-general.[4] [5] [6] [7]
The DPP endorsed Lin's legislative candidacy in May 2023, for Taipei 3 in the 2024 Taiwanese legislative election.[8] Lin dropped out two weeks later, after media coverage of a 2022 sexual assault allegation against a director hired by the party. Handling of the allegation was said to have been mishandled by Lin's former subordinate Hsu Chia-tien, and Lin said he would assume responsibility as head of the department.[9] [10] [11]
On May 15, 2024, Lin was appointed deputy secretary-general at Taiwan's National Security Council, effective May 20, 2024, under the leadership of Joseph Wu in the Lai Ching-te administration.[12] He is the youngest individual to hold the position.[13]
Lin married Lin Ya-Ping in June 2017.[14]
