Eric Chu
Eric Chu is the Chairman of the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) in Taiwan.

Chu has emphasized the need for a balanced energy policy that includes nuclear power as a viable option to ensure energy security and manage costs, especially as Taiwan approaches a critical juncture with the impending closure of its last active nuclear reactor.
