Kuan Chung (Template:Zh; born 9 June 1940), also known by his English name John Kuan, is a Taiwanese diplomat and politician who was president of the Examination Yuan of the Republic of China from 2008 to 2014.[1]
Education
Kuan graduated from National Chengchi University with a bachelor's degree in diplomacy in 1967 and briefly enrolled in National Taiwan University to study political science before withdrawing. He then completed graduate studies in the United States at Tufts University, where he earned a Master of Arts (M.A.) in diplomacy, a second master's degree, and his Ph.D. in international relations from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy in 1969 and 1973, respectively.[2] He later was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws from the University of Indianapolis.
Personal life
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: Template:MongolUnicode Template:Zh).
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]
