Lin Join-sane (Chinese: 林中森; pinyin: Lín Zhōngsēn) is a Taiwanese politician. He was the Chairman of the Straits Exchange Foundation from 27 September 2012 until 20 May 2016.
In August 2012, commenting on the Yu Chang Biologics Co. case regarding former Democratic Progressive Party Chairperson Tsai Ing-wen's illicit transaction related to the funding of the company and that Tsai fought back by filing criminal charges towards Vice President Wu Den-yih, Lin responded by saying that officials involved in the case had clarified themselves and said that KMT respected the prosecutor's decision not to indict Tsai. Lin called on her not to divert public attention and should take moral responsibility.
In mid of October 2012, Lin visited mainland China for the very first time. While in the mainland, he met with Wang Yi (director of Taiwan Affairs Office), Chen Yunlin (president of ARATS) and also Taiwanese business people based in Beijing and Tianjin. During this visit, he has agreed with his Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS) counterparts to open reciprocal representative offices on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, although no time table has been put in place.
Besides Beijing, Lin also visited Wudang Mountains in Hubei, Shanghai and Kunshan in Jiangsu.
