Chen Ding-nan (29 September 1943 – 5 November 2006), sometimes transliterated Chen Ting-nan or referred to as David Chen,[1] was a Taiwanese politician, lawyer, and environmentalist who served as Minister of Justice and was known as a leader of the country's anti-nuclear movement.[2] Due to the 9–13 July 2002 state visit to the United States of America Chen became the first Taiwan government official since 1979 (when the United States cut its official diplomatic relations with Taiwan) to have been invited into the White House.
