Lin Fei-fan (; born 19 May 1988) is a Taiwanese politician and activist, currently serving as deputy secretary-general of Taiwan's National Security Council. Lin was one of the leaders of the Sunflower Student Movement. He joined the Democratic Progressive Party as deputy secretary-general in 2019.
Lin was born on 19 May 1988 in Tainan, Taiwan. After graduating from the Department of Political Science at National Cheng Kung University, Lin received a Master of Arts in political science from National Taiwan University in 2017 and a Master of Science (MSc) in comparative politics from the London School of Economics in 2018.[1]
Court proceedings against 21 protesters began in June 2016. Lin was among the first to be charged with various offenses, along with Chen Wei-ting and Huang Kuo-chang.[2] In a March 2017 Taipei District Court decision, Chen, Huang, and Lin were acquitted of incitement charges.[3]
Lin joined the Democratic Progressive Party in July 2019 as deputy secretary-general.[4] [5] [6] [7]
The DPP endorsed Lin's legislative candidacy in May 2023, for Taipei 3 in the 2024 Taiwanese legislative election.[8] Lin dropped out two weeks later, after media coverage of a 2022 sexual assault allegation against a director hired by the party. Handling of the allegation was said to have been mishandled by Lin's former subordinate Hsu Chia-tien, and Lin said he would assume responsibility as head of the department.[9] [10] [11]
On May 15, 2024, Lin was appointed deputy secretary-general at Taiwan's National Security Council, effective May 20, 2024, under the leadership of Joseph Wu in the Lai Ching-te administration.[12] He is the youngest individual to hold the position.[13]
Lin married Lin Ya-Ping in June 2017.[14]
