Revision 679415 of "Chu Mei-feng" on enwiki

<b>Chu Mei-feng</b>, (&#29865;&#32654;&#40179; born [[1966]]) is the former director of [[Hsinchu, Taiwan]]'s Bureau of Cultural Affairs.  She is noted for her outspokenness, sharp-wittedness, and beauty.

Chu is campaigning with the [[Taiwan New Party]] (NP) for election to [[Taiwan]]'s legislature and is seen as a threat to the incumbent [[Shen Chih-hui]], despite a string of high-profile relationships including one with Hsinchu's mayor, [[Tsai Jen-chien]], who is ten years older than she and a member of the rival [[Taiwan Democratic Peoples Party]] (DDP).

On [[December 17]], [[2001]], the [[tabloid]] <cite>Scoop Weekly</cite> published a lengthy story about Chu's alleged [[promiscuity]] and distributed a video taken secretly with a pinhole camera that purportedly shows Chu having sex with a married man.  The video is sold on [[VCD]]s as uncensored pornographic movie in the gray market in [[Hong Kong]].  Chu sued the tabloid for [[libel]] on [[December 31]].  Taiwan's Civil Code protects human rights including the right to privacy, and allows someone to bring a suit for emotional damages.  Various sections of it also make crimes of violating a person's privacy for profit, distributing indecent material, and some forms of libel .
