Kuan was previously a national legislator from 2005 to 2023, having won three consecutive elections, including the highly competitive 2008 legislative election after the introduction of the single-member district system which halved the total seats from 225 to 113.
Physical confrontation in the Education and Culture Committee
On 22 October 2008, Legislator Hung Hsiu-chu of the Chinese Nationalist Party injured an eye of Kuan's parliament assistant (PA) while pushing a poster away during a budget review session of the National Science Council in the Education and Culture Committee, so Kuan stood up in argument with Hung till finally slapped Hung's face and Hung pinched Kuan's cheeks, and both legislators refused to apologize. Kuan states: "When one is faced with repression, one should stand straight, refuse to give in and fight against oppression and hegemony."[2] Hung launched a lawsuit against Kuan for two years until a judge persuaded both sides to reconcile with each other, and shared chocolate together in peace on 29 July 2010.[3][4]
The 2018 Development of National Languages Act stipulates the government offices to provide the interpretation services for the citizens participating in administrative, legislative, and judicial procedures to freely choose to use their national languages,[5] so the Legislative Yuan activated the interpreter service for the parliament session in real time accordingly.[6] On 27 September 2021, after following the steps to apply in advance with 3 Taiwanese interpreters been present ready,[7] Legislator Chen Po-wei of the Taiwan Statebuilding Party proceeded his scheduled questioning session in Taiwanese in the Foreign and National Defense Committee.[8][9]Minister of National Defense, Chiu Kuo-cheng rejected to speak Taiwanese, nor accepted the interpreter's real-time service at site, but brought the deputy minister Zong-hsiao Li as his own interpreter, and insisted in the 3-way translation pattern sentence by sentence.[7] Chiu repeatedly interrupted the question process by asking Chen to speak Mandarin Chinese for easier communication, or the session time cannot be lengthened to accommodate the interpretation,[8][9] but Li is not a linguistic professional, hence his translation contains contextual errors,[8][9][7] so Chairman Chen I-hsin intervened when the argument occurred, and introduced the existing synchronized interpretation in progress as the solution same as the common conference practice in the other states; but Chiu never picked up the earphone, yet insisted his way till the session run out of time.[8][9] Chen later apologized to the public for the good intention of practicing the national language law being turned into a linguistic communication tragedy, and condemned Chiu for "bullying" (鴨霸), but Chiu denied the allegation and claimed that a language is a tool of communication.[7] The parliamentary interpretation service were temporarily suspended afterwards pending on better communication in the future - consequently Kuan, the other MPs and media editorials such as the Taipei Times commented that Language is not just a tool of communication as Chiu said, but also an identity of feelings and culture.[10]Taipei City CouncilorMiao Poya also explained that the multi-lingual working environment is essential for a healthy mind without the "Chinese Language Supremacy" (華語至上) attitude to achieve the international level in diversity, equality and mutual respect for a modern state.[7]
