Jiang Yi-huah (Chinese: 江宜樺; pinyin: Jiāng Yíhuà; born 18 November 1960) is a Taiwanese politician and former Premier of the Republic of China (ROC). On 29 November 2014, he tendered his resignation and was succeeded by Mao Chi-kuo on 8 December 2014.
Prior to his appointment as the Premier, Jiang was the Vice Premier of the Republic of China from 2012 to 2013. He served as Minister of the Interior from 2009 to 2012 and Minister of Research, Development and Evaluation Commission of the Executive Yuan from 2008 to 2009.
Jiang was born into a Hakka family in Keelung, a city in northern Taiwan in 1960. During high school when he was 13, it was reported that he once wrote an essay saying that his dream career is to be the President of the Republic of China once he grow up.
He earned his bachelor's and master's degree in political science from National Taiwan University (NTU). He did his doctoral degree in political science from Yale University, United States in 1993. Upon graduation, he returned to Taiwan to become a professor at NTU.
Jiang entered politics for the very first time in 2008 when he was appointed as the Minister of Research, Development and Evaluation Commission of the Executive Yuan on 20 May 2008.
During a press conference in June 2009, Jiang said that the Human Rights Protection and Promotion Committee of the Executive Yuan has decided to abolish Article 80 of the Social Order Maintenance Act which regulates sexual transaction that can cause detention or fining of the sex workers. However, the final decision will be left to the local governments.
